    School me: Shocks

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    I used these for my Pathfinder..... Its a good deal... you can get the 9000's for under $200 for the set also....

    Yea I was looking at these pro comps, but the ES9000.

     

    I might just do a 3" BL and not mess w/ the oem suspension itself. So this maybe overkill??

     

    I wonder even if the ES1000 are any good, but I bet gas shock would be better.

     

    Also another shock I was looking at was the Monroe Sensa-Trac's

    1995 Speaker suggestions?

    6.5" speakers will be tight, and you'll have to do a lot of trimming. Be sure to install the front door speakers with the window DOWN, as that's the only way to be sure that the speakers will fit, and you'll be able to roll the window all the way down. :aok:

     

    Both the front and rear are 5x7 in the 95 Pathfinder. Stock speakers are Clarion. Most commercial 5x7's are too deep to fit. Try www.crutchfield.com and go through the vehicle specific sizing to find the speaker models that will fit in your Pathy without trimming/cutting the stock holes.

     

     

    Well the pioneers that are in the front which has an adapter on the door, seems like they are fine, but then again the magnets on those pioneer 6.5" are small.

     

    As for crutchfield, all the speakers shows a exclamation mark for being flags as "MODIFY"

     

    :)

     

    I am not worried about the front, but more worried about the back / ceiling style speakers that goes into it.

     

    Thanks

    I am going to upgrade the busted up old Pioneer speakers that are in my 95 pathy.

     

    I found out that the front speakers that were in there are the Pioneer TS164P.

    The speaker was held in w/ some bracket w/ only 2 screws in it. lol. Talk about half ass job.

     

    So anyways, I plan to change these out (front doors) w/ some new 6.5". Would any 6.5" speakers work fine?

     

    Ok, now for the back speakers. Not sure what size they are, but they are on the roof towards/close to the rear hatch window. If I would guess, maybe something like a 5x7?? I can tell these are old Pioneer's, but they are blown also.

     

    So what would you fellas recommend, size & brands?

     

    I want clean sound. I do not plan to put any subwoofers or amps. Just legit and clean.

     

    The stereo that is in the truck is a Pioneer detactable face / not sure the model, but it works fine and dandy.

     

     

     

     

     

    ~~~ oh, I was on circuitcity.com and it says that I can fit these size speakers: 6x8 & 5x7.

     

    Now, would the 6x8 fit in the front two doors or just the rear (on the roof)?

     

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Ok guys,

     

    Since the mechanic screwed me on my money and did not do this repair I have decided to remove these exhaust manifold bolts myself.

     

    Please tell me step by step to “how” to remove these broken bolts.

     

    I have two that are broken on the passenger side.

     

    What is the best way to get to them?

     

    Also which tool is best used to get out the old busted bolts out?

     

    Thanks a mill for any help/support.

    Guys thanks all!!

     

     

    I decided to hire a home mechanic to fix the exhaust manifold bolts on passenger side (2 were broken), put in a new rear main seal, oil pan gasket and do a complete waterpump/timing belt/all belts replacement.

     

    He is going to remove the whole motor out of my pathy to get it all done. He's doing it all for 1100.00 (parts and labor all included)

     

    Oh he is going to put in all brand new bolts on the exhaust manifold and up-pipe bolts that goes to the manifold. I just dont want see anymore issues with this for the next 100K+ miles that I plan to add to her

    There are plenty of people here including me who have successfully extracted broken exhaust bolts and/or put in helicoils without pulling the head. I will tell you it is a hell of a lot easier with a body lift. The shop just does not want to deal with the hassle. I if you look in the how to section I think there is a write up on the procedure, Or there should be :)

     

    Mark

     

     

    Thats cool!! Well right now the pathy is sitting at a local mom and pop tranny shop. They said two bolts are busted off the mainfold on the passenger side. They said they will replace the bolts and also replace the rear mail seal all for a 575.00

     

    I took the offer. So its sitting at their shop right now.
