Alright I’ll try that later

The thing is though the car has 90k kilometres on it. So it hasn’t had much time to have @!*% happen to it. The idle thing is what ever honestly but it’s mainly the pressurizing thing I care about. As long as my engine gets water and stays cool with out pressure I’m cool with it for now. But if this is going to lead to damage later on I’d like to know what I gotta do edit: I should mention it’s a 97

A few months back i had to move my pathy out of storage and up to my shop so i can work on it as it had been sitting for a few years maybe more with out being ran or even touched. When we got there it had over heated so bad you could feel it inside the cab. The coolant had disappeared totally... The next day we had filled the engine with water and ran it for a good half hour or more and it didnt even lose a drop. All is good now. It runs and it doesnt over heat. BUTTTTT. The system does not pressurize. I have not had too much with engines to know if all systems will pressurize or not. The vehicle does not over heat as it runs flawless and the coolant gauge shows half way when it has been running for a while. The top rad hose gets extremely hot to the touch (as i think it should) but i can squeeze it like nothing. Almost as if there is nothing in there even when its cold. Is it supposed to be this soft or is it supposed to be more firm? Also opn a side note a little away from topic. This shouldnt be a big issue but when ever i press the gas and let off of it, as the rpms go down it almost jumped up 1 line to about 1200 from 1100 then it idles. Is that normal or is that just something small that doesnt need attention?

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

Spotify is the way tro go. So might as well use that if possible

I want to put a cold air intake/high air flow on my 97. Are they worth it on these engines or not at all? If they are good on these engines/cars what about them makes it worth it, and what brands/models are the best. But if they are not worth it, why exactly?

bought a hitch for it. its off of a 2012 rav4 so im going to cut it up and make my own bumper with the actual hitch slot part. i got a great deal on it its a curt mfg class 5 hitch for 20 bucks

by the looks of what i could find these should be the ones but don't quote me on that. If you want a different option heres another. it says it SHOULD fit pathfrinder aswell even though they are listed for toyota. but i would go with my first option personally

it is for the radio nothing else

Can I go with out this antenna then. Like my keyless remote won’t just stop working. All it will do is lessen my radio signal (I use Spotify radio sucks here)?

On my 97 SE I have to get the windshield replaced. I called a few places and all of them asked about antennas and I said no because I didn’t think there were. But I got to my shop and looked closely at it and noticed an orange line coming from the centre of the glass. It goes from top to bottom then shoots over to the driver side and that’s all there is. Do I have the antenna in my windshield? And if so what is it even for?

not to sure on ideas but imgur is a great way to upload photos you just add the link to the post

spark plug #6 and the oil filter location. everything i hate is engine bay related lmao

you have the luxury i do not lmao and yeah no problem. i love this community and so does thousands of other people so why not make it even better

good to hear you got your issue solved but im quite mad you ordered something on amazon and it came that day. sucks living in a small town in British Columbia Canada haha. I also noticed you had just joined the pathfinder community and i wanted to welcome you and hope you have great adventures to come with your pathy!

All pathfinders and QX4 take a few clicks to unlock the rear. 1 is driver and then after a few seconds the second click is all the rest so. Its normal

I wouldn't personally buy of amazon since sometimes stuff like this has misinfo about what it supports. I'm not saying all the time but possibly. Give it a try though you can always return to amazon for free with refund. Make sure that they come with the electronics and batteries, it might just be the casing

I'm no expert on pathfinders as i am just starting out with mine but i think any info is good info aslong as its not completely wrong and way off. From what i can see that looks like it may be for the remotes and I would just say screw it and get a remote and try to program it. Make sure though its for the 96-98 as the r50s after that use different remotes like the 99 ,99.5 and 00 has different ids or what ever. Obviously anyone else the replies with a better answer then mine should be given credit to their knowledge.

From what i've seen all r50 models came with key-less remotes. I have yet to see anything saying other wise. Mine does have the remotes and it is too a 97 SE. It doesn't hurt asking the person you bought this from if it had the remotes at some point and had just lost them. If that's the case then this remote should do the trick if you want new remotes. (NOTE: yes they do say infiniti remotes but they work on pretty much all nissan cars from that era and the 96-98 pathfinders)

honestly my guess is just the fact that the unit might be shot. i have no idea where you wold start either but stuff like that doesnt just happen so i would check the unit or see if any wires behind the dash are broken

I was just going to run conduit to the back some where but i wasn't sure where a good spot would be out of the way of things

Same reason, a brake controller lol. I found my way to go through dash to engine bay but how did you run your wires to the rear?

For something like that its functional with no added work so im happy. Only ill notice it so it can just bug my ocd lmao. Thanks

Where is the best spot to go through the fire wall on the 97 R50? I've heard that the clutch cover is good but i have a standard so theres kinda a clutch pedal there. Where else would be a good spot to route wires from the cab to the engine bay if not the fire wall. Any spot is a good spot right now so any and all info on this is helpful.

As i said im not going to play with it too much. ill probably throw on an intake and maybe a few other things along those lines. i just was curious as to what is possible with these engines
