I love the sliders and was wondering were they custom made or off the self units. Do they make them to fit a 93 Pathy??? maybe a 2dr 86.5 Pathy?

Yep. I will now only get parts that are nissan from him. I wonder what they would say if I told them that the MSRP of the part was and asked why they want so much more for it? James

Just called my Nissan dealer and asked for a price quote on the part number for the rubber stopper. I was quoted $8.16 ea while this same part from where Alkorahil works is $2.51 ea. Man my dealer is ripping people off on parts prices. That is an enormous markup even over the MSRP of the item of $3.40 ea. James

Well I finally got to check my MAF on the 86.5 Pathy. It was clean with no buildup. Will check the codes tomorrow.

1993 XE-V6 5spd with 258k+ on the odometer. I just bought it and hope it makes it till I get the timing belt changed. My 86.5 XE-V6 5spd has 202k+ on it, but the engine is less than 30k. James

I definitely was not expecting that to happen after asking about removing taillights. As you said no turning back now. James

First ever job was working in the carpet industry. Here in N GA we are considered the Carpet Capitol of the World. I would say that some of you probably have carpet in your house that I worked on. Go figure. Then was a student, Gulf War started, joined the Navy and was there for 15yrs. Went to UTI for auto tech and specialized in Fords. Ford Tech until VA disability hearing said not anymore. Now work as a Home Medical Equipment Technician. I really like my job as I get to travel around to places I've never been before, even in my own home town. James

Cool. I will definitely be doing that update. I plan on doing a lift but have to save up the money for the new UCA's. Just have to find the right ones. James

Well I just found this out about my 93 so I don't think I need it. Just started using photobucket lets hope this works. As you can see I have a little bit of a power steering leak. Have to get new hoses for it. Is this an updated steering system???? I was really surprised to see the Idler brace under it today. James

Well lets see. I have my first ever Pathy an 87 2dr XE-V6 5spd that has 202k+ on everything but the engine. Had it replaced at around 168k or so and it still had the factory clutch at that time. New clutch, engine installed by Nissan. Engine was replaced due to woodruff key chipping crank and moving the width of the key off. Luckily no valve to piston contact. Now I just got a 93 XE-V6 5spd that has 258k+ on it and I believe it is still the original engine. Will check when I have to do all my work on the engine soon. James.

I have a 93 pathy and want to do this swap for my steering. Is there a way to do it and not have to buy a new pitman arm???? If so let me know, great write up by the way. James

Trans controller should be on the passenger side above the tire hump. That and the front speaker amp on 6-8 speaker units are there. James

The key to what you just said is that you are going to re-sleeve the tube. I believe Mauitrailguy is taking about how peps don't bother with the re-sleeve to make it safe. James

Yeah figured as much. I will keep a look out for me a front axle from a heep. Finally stopped raining so will be putting pics of my nissans up in the rides section this week. James

I know that is has been awhile since you last posted here but was wanting to know how everything went with your swap. I hope to do one myself this summer.

Haven't done mine yet but I will be doing it this week. I have 2 pathys and a HB. will post pictures of the 93 pathy once I do it. James

Cool, I look forward to see what you come up with.

Man that stuff reminds me of the red ga clay I got here. Will have to try and get pictures if I ever get a chance to go out trail riding again in the future.

Hey ME where did you get your roof rack, I like very much.

Thats what I thought. My 87 2dr pathy is going to be sidelined for awhile due to front suspension issues and I was thinking for trading all of its MT stuff to the 95 HB truck thats an AT. Cheapest local AT tranny from jy is $550. But may have luck at Pull-A-Part, have 4 within 2hr drive from me, 3 in atlanta and 1 in knoxville.

I know that this is not directly related to this vehicle but has anyone done an auto to 5-speed swap and if so how hard and is there a write up here somewhere??

Thanks appreciate all of the help and advice. If it stops raining here in N Georgia I will crawl under and take a look. I feel pretty stoked about this purchase. Even with 258K+ on the odo it still runs strong. Will be doing the tbelt and all of the front of the engine stuff very soon. Want to make sure that it will run for another 60K safe from a bad tbelt. I also heard a little squeaking from the front today while waiting in the drive thru line. May have an idler pulley going bad as well. It is good that I may have a parts truck for this just in case. Will give an update when weather is permitting.

OMG I have never seen a pathfinder or any car still on the road with that much rust. You could say that the rust is the only thing holding this pathy together. Will be watching your builds as I always need inspiration for my own. James

That sounds very interesting. Looking forward to hearing how this goes. James

Cool, thanks for the help on search. I checked my codes for the ABS today and it flashed 9 times which is supposed to be an open sensor??? Any advice would be appreciated.
