Hey guys, some $%^$%!#@$ got into my Pathy a few days ago and stole just the faceplate (why? I don't know) and the sub, and a few other things. I have recently got a new deck and sub. My question to you is: What is the best way/place to screw down the sub box so that it can't be removed easily or quickly? I thought that some of the spare tire mounting points (they aren't in use right now) could be used but I wanted to see if you guys had experience with this stuff first. I also heard there was some 'velco-straps' that could be used, but I'm not sure about that. To tell you the truth, car stereos are not my strong suit. I just want a potential thief to see that the sub ain't going anywhere!!! Any tips on this would be appreciated.

I gotta get some new/used tires for my pathy, but I'm not sure what to get. I have the stock, steel Pathy rims (15inch), right now she's got P235/75/R15 on there. It is almost entirely used on-road. Will a certain tire be noticeably quieter? There is a set of used Traction Kings near where I live: http://classifieds.castanet.net/showproduc...6302&cat=37 What are your thoughts on these, all things being equal? Does siping make the ride louder? Is siping always a good thing?

Hey guys, I was down at the Nissan Dealership, and I asked the guy about the imfamous DRL module that causes near every Pathy I see to 'wink' at me. He said it was $140 bucks (ouch) and that "I couldn't miss it behind the battery". Well, I must be weird because I can't find it unless it looks different than I think. I found a series of fuses that had the 'fuel pump', ; 'L&R Head Light' fuses and a few others but this isn't the DRL module. Where is this thing? Anyone got a pic of their engine compartment? thanks

My Pathy is pretty hard to shift into first gear (e.g. at stop lights), even when it's warm. The rest of the gears are fine. What could be causing this specifically (syncros?)

Would you guys recommend a Bosch or a NTK o2 sensor? Bosch is $20 cheaper if that helps you decide.

Topic. I only want to replace it if I have to. So far I have no 'check engine' light coming on in my 94 Pathy XE.

Wow, thanks for the diagram! I'll be sliding under my Pathy tomorrow (in the snow) to check it out. I was going to replace my current o2 sensor with a NTK (Part# 24157), $86.00. Is this the best option or are their better/cheaper o2 sensors?

Okay, I'm finally getting to take a look at the pathy and I can't find the bloody o2 sensor. Mind you, it is -20C almost and pitch black (other than my . Where is the o2 sensor located and what's the best way to attack this thing?

Overall, would you say it's a pretty easy job though (if it's not spot welded that is!)?

I read in another topic that the newer model Pathy ('96+) needed a special tool/socket to be removed. Do I need a special tool to remove/replace my o2 sensor in my '94? Any tips for easy removal/replacement would also be appreciated. I got to deal with a few feet of snow here!

K, thanks. I know they are different. I just thought I'd ask in the same topic because I knew you'd check this one

Ghostpath, have you replaced your o2 sensors before? What kind of o2 sensor did you use? How many o2 sensors are there on WD21 Pathy's? Sorry, I don't have a Haynes manual and my g/f has the truck!

Sorry, I should have posted that I'm in Canada, and Autozone doesn't ship here! Damn them.

Could some one please tell me the part numbers for a 94 XE Coolent Temp Sensor? Where is the best/cheapest place to get these? Also, If there is a better plug/wires than NGK for my Pathy, let me know. I've always found NGK to be the best for Nissans (NTK for o2 sensorws).

Where is the coolant temp sensor and how much is it to replace? Do you guys have part numbers for NGK wires and plugs (those are the best for Nissan's right - they are on my 280zx). What about a part number for the o2 sensor? Is it in a easy or hard location to change?

Yeah, I'm still having the problem. I filled up yesterday with 210KM on the odometer ($62- cha-ching!). This is the worst fuel economy I have seen. My 1981 280zx gets double that (a straight 6 engine), no problem, and I drive it way harder than my Pathy. I just don't get it. What should I replace first? O2 sensor? Spark plugs (they look alright tho)? I'm not too good with those computer codes, although I don't see any blinking lights on the ECM. I should be getting (my estimate) about 300-350KM per tank. Wheels are stock, as is the engine. I really need guidance on this one. It's costing me a fortune!

Hey guys, this is my first winter with my Pathy (94 XE Standard Trans) and I have noticed that I'm getting some, in my mind, pretty bad gas mileage. I'm getting roughly 200-250KM's per tank - and that's pushing it. What could be causing this poor fuel economy. It's been running great, no hard starts or anything. I've read a few places that it could be the o2 sensor. Where is the o2 sensor and which type should I use to replace? Maybe all pathy's are just bad on fuel and I don't know, but I don't think they can be this bad. Thanks

Well, I got some lock lube and it work great. the only thing is that I still can't lock the door from the outside! Open the door is butter-smooth which is great but shouldn't I be able to lock it from the outside using the key?

Is there a certain type of lube for locks or should I just use Moovit (or some other generic lube)? Should I spray the lube into the lock or remove the door panel and spray the back, or both? I adjusted the striker bolt and the door doesn't pop anymore. It still doesn't close as nicely as the passenger door, but my guess is that it's because of door sagging. Thanks for you help tho!

My '94 Pathy XE's driver's door has a few problems. First, the lock is pretty hard to turn open when the key is inside. I actually have broken 2 keys off in it!!! Is there anyway to fix/lube the lock? Second, the door is difficult to shut. You gotta slam the door to get it to close properly. When you open the door from the outside, it kinda 'pops' open, not like the rest of the doors. It feels like it could be under tension almost. It's a real pop when it opens. There is a little sag in the door, (but nothing like my old Thunderbird lol). Can this be fixed? Can I adjust the striker bolt to fix this? Lastly, Have you guys noticed the amount of cold air that comes through the vent in the door. Is it supposed to let air in like that? My left hip get damn cold in the morning! Is this fixable? Thanks

Is the paint-on stuff (for rear-defrost repair) the only thing that works?

So my rear defroster is pretty useless. Only the very top bar works while the rest of the window stays foggy. I checked the lines (visually) and I didn't see and breaks or gaps in them. That is why I haven't bought one of those paint-on kits (do they even work). The fact that one bar works means the signal is getting to the window, so what's the deal? What could be wrong? Is this a normal Pathy problem? How can I fix this?

Could someone post a pic of this part? I want to know what I need to grab when I head out to the wreck yard. BTW, I noticed my left taillight was out too. Does this have to do with this DRL module?

Could I find this DRL module at a wreck yard? Would I still need to do soldering if I could find it?

This is kinda weird. My right headlight/daytime running light doesn't work consistently. Sometimes is comes on like it should, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it will come on after a few minutes. The left side works fine. I have replaced the headlight bulbs and it still happens. The regular beams and high beams on both sides work fine. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
