    New Purchase - 2001 Infiniti QX4

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    First off...you need to service the powervalve screws by backing them out and applying loctite to them. There’s a known issue where they can fall into the motor and cause catastrophic damage. The iacv gasket should also be replaced to avoid frying the ecu. Also....join the npora Facebook group. Far more activity on There. As far as rear coils....I’d go with wj coils or Land Rover coils. Depending on which Land Rover coils you get they will net you anywhere from 2 to four inches and are muuuuuch cheaper than ac with similar spring rates. If you’re gonna do an sfd....you won’t need front spacers as you’ll be building steel spacers as part of the sfd. Ac coils would work just fine for the front and lots of people use them with up to 6 inches of total lift

    Stock air intake on 2003

    When I left mine exposed I got an intake full of water rather easily. I'd suggest ditching it, plugging up the hole in the bottom of the airbox, and putting a new hole (covered with mesh) on the top of the airbox. Should be nice and safe from water intrusion that way without having to buy an expensive snorkel.

    I would go this route too. And yes....all r50s have that piece

    I wonder if your higher gas mileage has anything to do with your car being 2WD??

    I’m sure it does in part. But if you had manual hubs that were unlocked it should be close

    Camber Concerns?

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Not to thread jack just trying to give a quick answer. No camber plates, camber bolts should be fine from my understanding for these vehicles. Camber is a large wear angle for your tire as it determines the size of your contact patch. For reference search: camber gang on google too see exaggerated instances on how negative camber leaves less tire touching the road.

    Pretend these slashes are your tires

     

    Neutral camber: I

    Negative Camber: /

    Postitive Camber:  \

     

    With neutral camber your entire tire when driving straight is on the road, but when cornering it shifts to an edge. 

     

    With negative camber when driving straight you are riding more on the edge of your tire but flatten out in cornering (on my track car i run negative camber so it grips better while cornering)

     

    Typically when running camber you run a bit "less negative"(or more positive) camber on the driver side to correct for the road crown. Your vehicle will pull to which ever side is less negative. 

     

    I do not remember the pros of running positive camber as my main focus has always been sports cars.

     

    Also i hear rock auto is the best place to get the camber bolts

    I got mine from amazon for 18.99

    Are cold air intakes worth it?

    you do have a point i never thought of that actually. But what if the intake was moved to be "colder" then where the stock one is, and also had a high airflow filter? I don't know much about intakes and what not so might as well ask now lol

    Then that would be beneficial. Best way to do that on an r50 is with a snorkel

    Check my lift plans? 1997 Pathfinder

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Get your kybs from rockauto. Won’t find a better price. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1997,pathfinder,3.3l+v6,1212051,suspension,strut,7584. No such thing as longer struts that I’m aware of that wouldn’t require serious modification. You won’t need longer ones for 2.5 inches of lift though. And don’t replace the control arms. Aftermarket ones are junk. Just replace the bushings with poly https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nolathane-Trailing-Arm-Lower-Bushing-FOR-NISSAN-PATHFINDER-R50-46045/283156264183?fits=Model%3APathfinder&epid=2294724819&hash=item41ed6db4f7:g:kkAAAOSwk~VcvjZO
