No. Land rover springs only fit the rear of the R50

Really sad news guys. Andrew, who goes by @Dbot on here, has passed away. Prayers and condolences to his family. https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/local/2024/04/15/andrew-hendrix-killed-car-crash-near-lake-springfield/73329149007/

Did you swap out your headlights?

Nissan badging on roof wind spoiler
PathyDude17 replied to dSaint's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Hi, this is my pathfinder! You need an 02-04 SE roof rack off of another R50. It will bolt onto your roof just fine, you'll have to remove everything that's currently on top of your 02 LE. For the white Nissan Lettering, that was a little more custom. All of those fairings come with raised black lettering, I just put some white plasti-dip on mine to help it stand out. Paint would probably work better. I would go looking for the roof rack in a junkyard, I doubt nissan still sells this. Ebay also might be able to help. -
I agree. Haven't looked to see if the blokka was available, given what's going on in Russia. But, that's encouraging if they're on eBay!

You can also get air lockers or E lockers, both of which are discussed elsewhere on the forum. Swapping the rear axle shafts to a different spline count can be done to make other auto-locker options possible. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/42436-31-spline-swap-or-how-to-install-a-rear-mechanical-locker-in-the-r50/?tab=comments#comment-781291

They do not make one for the rear. Blokka (Russian company who seems to like Lokka's branding...) makes one. Doubt you can get one given all that's happening over there right now. EDIT: Blokka is the product name, the company name is like izno-tech or something...

The lokka works great. A year or so ago, they were struggling to get orders out on time... not sure if that's still the case.

Wheres all the seasoned npora guys at. SC stuff

This guy has like 4 videos on his swap -
That's on the previous generation WD21's with automatic hubs. Aftermarket Manual hubs for R50 Pathfinders do not have this issue

The other limit that you start maxing out when you lift above 2" is alignment. Even if you in theory had axles that allowed you to lift 4" of suspension, I don't think you'll get an alignment good enough to let your tires wear evenly. 3" seems to be alignable sometimes

Found this thread late, but BDS doesn't seem to support anything Nissan, based on their website. They don't make lifts for the R50 either. @Jotegir's advice above is great. Old Man Emu makes suspension, the aforementioned 2928 is a great part number. Dobinson also makes good stuff. Ironman4x4 and Automotive Customizers also makes springs for these. If you snoop around here you should be able to find builds that utilize these different options. I had AC coils, but I'm also a big proponent of the OME and the Dobinson equipment. Here's a really nice build that you might take some inspiration from: If you're not familiar with Land Rover coils as an option, those also work nicely in the rear. That's what the above build features. See what your shop likes, but if they're mostly familiar with Toyota's, our front end is not built the same way a 4runner or Tacoma works, ours is much closer to a typical sedan. You'll probably need camber bolts to get your front end alignment dialed. Here's my personal analysis of a lot of the front end coils:

Do you have these wheel specs?
PathyDude17 replied to matthewdcase's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Ya, if you want 3.75 backspacing, you almost always have to go down to a 15" wheel or add spacers, its just not a spec that's readily available on 16 and 17 inch wheels for the most part. Interesting, I haven't seen many at -11, but it's basically equivalent to a -12. 4.03 vs 4.07 BS -
Do you have these wheel specs?
PathyDude17 replied to matthewdcase's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I think you're more likely to find wheels in the 16x8 -12mm, as that works out to 4" BS. I believe @Dbot has those wheels with ~32" tires on a 1.5-2" spring lift, no wheel spacers -
No fuel when gauge still reading 1/4 tank
PathyDude17 replied to EricCR's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
It is common. Both my R50 and my dad's R50 had these issues during ownership. Mine would stop at about 1/2 tank intermittently. Sometimes it would read accurately for the entire tank. They act up. The R50's were both VQ35DE vehicles. Not sure of the cause or the fix, both vehicles were sold with the problem still there....
