kittens are cute . . . then they turn into cats

thanks guys, i'll try not to beat on it too much then.

i've got a question. my rear sway bar has had one of it's linkages broken a month ago 4x4'ing. i know that this gives me more flex offroad, but it is causing the body to roll big time and Im not sure if this is gonna cause my shocks to be overworked and decrease their lifespan as i have just installed them. does anyone know this?? 88', i'm guessing you do??

i filled up my 4 cyl. for about $35 (it's a small tank), and it got me 300km's barely of city driving. and that's driving like a granny (i can't afford to drive hard).

you mean to tell me diesel is more expensive there??? that's wierd. here gas is at 99.9 a litre, no one wants to be the first to push it over 1.00

88', can't tell if that guy is mad and throwing the dog or pissed off because the dog is just flying in the air. either way, funny!! yeehaw's right!! be free to admit you're a canucks fan man!!!! one of these years they'll get their stuff together and win a cup. but, i'm glad calgary's in the final and hope they win, at least we could say we lost to the champions. for now though, www.flamesgirls.com (it's adult stuff)

hey canucklehead, you a big canucks fan eh??? are you from vancouver area?? The dog on the left is my parents 10 yr old border collie. the puppy is mine, he's half german sheppard and half border collie. he was 3 mos. in the pic and is now 1 1/2, and twice the size of the other dog.

my 4 cyl. is a hybrid between fuel injection and carburetor

you're saying that there's only 15 hp difference between the 4 cyl. and v6??? then there must be something majorly wrong with mine because it is the most gutless vehicle i've ever driven

i checked the obvious, no cracks, holes, or loose wires. but everyone i mention it to says it seems like a vacuum problem. one of these days when i get some $$$ im gonna take it in and get it tuned up properly

does anyone have any photos or diagrams of the vacuum hose setup for the z24 motor?? i looked in my haynes repair manual but it mentions hoses once or twice. something's wierd with the way mine's running and i think it's a vacuum hose, but im not sure since i have nothing to go off of

any idea on costs??

yeah, i dunno how informed he was. he had a 87 4runner and said the same thing happened to him and he had it dyno'ed and that was what it showed up as. he's a heavy duty mechanic and knows way more about vehicles than i do anyways

haha, no worries. guess i'll just dream about owning a v6 for now

my wife's locked my keys in our truck once but i was able to pry open the tiny window behind the driver side door (it's a 2 dr). a week ago i was up for work earlier than usual and decided to start the truck while i was getting ready . . . also decided to lock the doors afterwards. it took half an hour but me and three other guys were able to pull the door back enough to slide a coat hanger down between the door and body to jimmy the lock. my first offroad experience with me actually driving was about 4 years ago in my old car (1986 BMW 325). i was going for a drive on a dirt road with my bro and saw a steep, challenging hill. he had a jeep at the time and tried to convince me that i couldnt make it up with my rear wheel drive car because his jeep woulda needed 4 hi to do it and that i'd high center the car. i did it anyways, made it up with out the tires spinning once. the way down was tougher, bottomed out a few times. but after that i knew i was meant for a truck.

right now i have an older cd i mixed with three doors down, creed, bob marley, and sublime on it

hey guys, does anyone else on here have a 4cyl? im always reading about the v6's but i havent read anything from someone with a 4 cyl. just wondering if im all alone.

anyone know how to get the most power out of a z24 for the cheapest buck???

does anyone know of any cheap or used electric fans for a z24 motor?? i'm on my third water pump in 1 1/2 years because my fan clutch keeps seizing. i've been told that a seized fan clutch can rob the truck of 20-30 horsepower, which for a 4 cyl. is a big deal. but obviously something is wrong with mine because i wouldnt need three of them. if anyone could help it'd be great.

i have the exact same problem. the piece that connects the sway bar onto the fram is actually still dangling down. it handles a little worse, but it wasn't like i was driving a ferrari to begin with. after reading up on it on this site from other pathy owners, im not gonna bother replacing it

i live in coquitlam british columbia. but if they're cracking i think i'll pass for now. thanks anyways

nevermind, i read your website. one quick question, if i put these springs on and adjust the torsion bars, is the truck gonna sit evenly front to back?

hey, great write up. i was wondering though, is there anything else that i would need to do to lift it aside from the springs. i just put in new shocks on my stock Pathfinder, would i need new ones?? also, im new to this so im a little confused, are the coils just for the rear, front, or the whole truck?? my email is flashover_1350@hotmail.com if you would be able to send me more info that'd be awesome

what im saying is that i basically want to know a cheap and easy way to put some sort of lift

i was reading on a website (Nissanoffroad.net) that on a Pathfinder you can give it up to a 2 inch lift by adjusting the torsion bar. does anyone know if this is true? and if so, the website doesnt specify, but is that a newer Pathfinder or older one like mine. if someone could help with this it'd be great.
