so i changed my front brake pads, for a day or two it was fine then i started hearing what sounds like grinding/rubbing. I looked at the rotors and they look okay... it seems when i spray wd40 on the brakes, they perform okay for a day or so...
anyone?

The older r50's you'll have to most likely fix it up, unless the previous owner was a good man...or woman. Just look for the common things, test drive it, make sure the transmission is in good condition. Note: r50's can ride on 31" Tires on stock suspension, you will rub in reverse, but it is what it is, id recommend a 2" lift.
The truth is id feel like a jack ass if i took a $13,000 rig off road and banged it up, versus taking a $3,000 rig and just having a good time with it. I have a 97. Good Luck man.

So i did the passenger side with no problem, what parts are needed for the Driver side, and how difficult is it to do it? does anyone know the name of the gaskets, one of my mechanic friends something about a plemmel or something i didnt quite understand him, but i figure someone here would know what parts are needed and if they need to be special ordered.
thanks.

I just got my new rims in today. I got some soft 8's 15 x 8. I took a chance having an 02 r50 I didn't mount tires on them yet because I wanted to test fit them first. When I put on the fronts the rims will spin, but just barely scrape the calipers on the inside rim twice per revolution. There is some corrosion build up on the outside of the caliper could I angle grind a hair off the edge of the caliper with no worries? Or do you think I just didn't tighten all the lugs up enough. I put masking tape on the caliper to see where it scratches and it doesn't even rip the tape just barely rubs it on the outside edge of the caliper. oh and the wheels have 4"b.s.
i got those wheels. good @!*%.

Try Ebay, try car-part.com or I could always pick you up a brand new aftermarket one. I bought a power/heated drivers side mirror for my xterra for $50 bucks at a wholesaler here in town.
let me search around man, thanks for your help, i just might have to.

Hello....was great to find this forum/ I recently purchased a 1993 Pathfinder on Ebay for $650.00 with 153,000 miles on it.....
It suffers from some rust issues...
I plan on patching the frame as needed and applying POR-15 to open rust areas...
I bought the truck to replace my Astro AWD.....
Before I get it on the road I was going to replace timing belt, waterpump, all fluids and hoses...any other advice?
Thanks!

They grip really well in the snow, a little noisy on the highway. But working good so far. I set the air at 30 psi, tag in the glove box said 28.
Sorry it took me so long i was on holidays.
Weird! My AT's recommended 35 psi front and rear... different tire different needs...

Death on roads isn't small. It costs the community and country mega $$$$$$$. It puts unnecessary strain on services too. Especially if you don't die and are permanently disabled. The risks you want to take are great mz. That link I sent you should qualify that point, though a different issue. Look at some stats and you'll be shocked at what the road toll does cost. Economics, keeping people alive saves money. Socially, keeping people intact saves money. I am not saying forget our boys fighting the fight of illegitimate reason on behalf of war criminals in our countries. Our boys are coming home next year; problem solved.
Tell me, do car makers have to comply with laws as to how a car is made? Brakes, for example, are a very handy idea and I am certain, though I love driving fast as sw can attest to, car makers and even car owners must have them by law. We all have laws (guidelines or rules if you will) that need to be observed. It is for "all" our safety and benefit that we follow these as closely as possible so that anarchy and carnage doesn't happen. I can not see why gun ownership is somehow exempt from laws that are designed to protect the majority. Especially when most everything you use and do is governed by a rule, guideline or law already. From the time you are born (birth certificate) till the time you die (death certificate) laws are in place. Get use to it I say. Ban weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest time possible. What legitimate reasons could anyone have to own such killing machines.
Sorry to swing this back on topic.
you're beating a dead horse, sir.

moral of the story:
dont drink and drive.

well so i was driving home from work. been a rough day. i got one of those long 99 cent Arizona canned Ice Teas, and it rested sort on top of the cup holder, like it didnt fit but it was able to just squeeze just good enough to where it could be semi-stable.
i was wrong, i took a turn and boom. i was sitting on tea. my entire seat covered. yeah its my fault, but damnit!!!!!!!!! it was so ****** feeling, like i could do absolutely nothing. i had half a can left, i had to take a leak, and my wallet was covered with tea, and my shorts, and my seats were wet..and my e-brake was drenched not to mention my mobile phone charger...i was pissed..real pissed...
anyway done with my rant.

I ordered these http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT63883.aspx
along with a new set of bfg at 31s. I think they only had 2 types available in 15x8.
Someone said they fit fine, but if anyone else has any input, please share. I didn't know wtf when ordering, but I figured 15x8 will fit. Now I hear all this stuff about backspacing.
Hopefully I picked up decent ones with no probs for a stock pathy.
The other ones are 4.5 backspacing, would those have been better?
I also noticed there where some 15x10s. In what application would one use those for?
you'll be good. i love my bfg's, you won't regret it man.

snow... in GA? id love to see that
brake question
in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
Posted
yeah i was just testing it, i didn't spray the inside of the pads, just through the little holes of my steelies onto the rotor a few times. but yeah the problem goes away for a day or two. So i guess im just going to have to step it up to the EBC Brake pads, or take of the tires and take a look at what's up once again, i had my buddy look at it, he spun the rotor around by hand and then put the tire back on. after that no noise, as i told him i swore there was noise, so he test drove it. and nothing, then he left and i got in about 10 minutes later, noise.
so yeah i doubt its hub issues, but thanks for the input everyone, i really appreciate it.
