I need to reindex them, not tighten them. Thanks anyway for the advice!

I'm looking at some replacement headlamps... but I haven't the foggiest where to start. I read one of the users here did a polycarbonate headlight housing swap... I'd LOVE to do that, but I don't even know where to get said housings from! The beam dispersal on my pathy sucks terribly... without foglights, I can't see a thing when making a 90* turn

TBI = Throttle Body Injection MPFI = Multi-Port Fuel Injection 1988's are, I think, Throttle Body? Redfinder or 88, correct me if I'm wrong? If you can visibly see the fuel "lines" running either side of the engine, you have multi-port fuel injection.

I've heard people say that transmission flushes are a bad thing if they aren't done regular... can cause your tranny to, literally, explode. Then again, I've heard some people say the exact opposite. Couldn't tell ya mate... does she feel like she'd driving good?

*nods* I will do just that Only one problem... I don't have a single jack stand Gonna look around for them tomorrow... I KNOW we had four of them, where they went is beyond me...

You are a GOD!

I'm going to attempt to do mine tomorrow... if the bolts are terribly stuck, then I'll WD40 em twice an hour for 5 hours and try it again. Don't have any real good breaking fluid sadly

You sir, are a gentleman, scholar, and a god. I proffer to you much booze. I plan on attempting this either tomorrow or the day after Christmas! Thank you muchly!

*shrugs* that's what I was wondering mate... the guides I'm finding are for like, Toyota's and Fords... i can't find a good Nissan guide. Hell, I probably wouldn't need pictures if it was concise and well written... just that, like I said, I can't find a good one for a 1990 Pathy and I'm afraid to break something.

The problem is, I don't have the tools to do it myself, and my mechanic isn't willing to do it for liability issues. By "tools" I mean I have a jack, some cinderblock, and a bunch of hand tools... but I don't think I can release the tension... all the re-indexing guides I've seen online involve either a vehicle lift or a come-along to get the old t-bars out and then back in. I don't even have anything I could fashion the come-along to short of another vehicle... and I'd be taking up my entire driveway to do that. Can't do it in the garage as it has a low ceiling @ 88 - If you're truly willing to write and illustrate a step-by-step how to on re-indexing I'd be extremely grateful. However, I will not ask you to do that simply for my sake... only do it if you really want to.

Alrighty, I'm set to order the Torsion Bars now... I tried to reindex them, but it was no go without a lift. My mechanic isn't willing to do it (liability issues or some crap) and without a lift I'm kinda SOL. Do I want the Calmini or the Sway-Away T-bars?

Tis up to you mate I can do it relatively free (just the cost of you sending it to me, I'll pay to send it back myself o' course) but if your client can do it free I'd definately like a copy of that thing

Oi... uhm... I'ma pleading the fifth with that picture... But yeah, my scanner should be able to do that and, with some fancy photoshopping, I can put the images together in such a fashion that a normal printer can print it out into a NORMAL size... cause that size is just... freaky.

This is going to sound stupid but... I have a large (and by large, I mean fracking huge) desktop scanner that should easily be able to fit those pages on. If you snail mail me the manual, I can scan it in and send it back to you via snail mail, then give copies to anyone on here that needs it. Tis up to you though

I don't plan to do real heavy off roading... just the occasional mud puddle is fine for me right now I don't have the money to break my truck (still in college) so yeah The Lockers will be something to look into Thanks for the advice! As for reindexing, I need a good set of instructions on how to do this without a vehicle lift being available

Actually, these are just stock parts of mine that are wearing out after 18 years and I'm looking at higher quality replacements. So, to summarize so far: YES to: K&N air and oil filter NGK Spark plugs and Wires MagnaFlow Cat NTK Oxygen Sensor NO to: Tornado UNDECIDED: WARN Manual Hubs Steering Stabilizer Pacesetter or Thorley headers RS9000 RCX Remote Control Damping System What are lockers... I'm assuming it refers to a replacement system for the differentials? I don't know if I'll need them... stock is what? Viscous Fluid diff or Limited Slip diff in the front and a locking rear diff? As for the lift... maybe. I like my relatively low center of gravity though (as far as SUV's go anyway ) And don't bigger tires result in a loss of power without re-gearing?

Oh... uhm, what does re-indexing mean? Looking it up... I just turn the bar a few splines downward so the anchor is lower than it should be? Reading up on it... I'm seeing a lot of places where people say it just puts more strain on already weak torsion bars... I have my preload maxed out so I think my bars are just dead. Is it possible that re-indexing them could cause a break?

Uhm... my T-bars are shot to hell and back They're at max tension and they barely keep my front end from scraping the wheel well... yes, I need new t-bars. Beyond that, I don't know much about them

I dont' know much about T-Bars to be honest... any advice on what to look for?

I heard that Iridium V-Series plugs are better than the Bosch +2's... is this true?

So drop the tornado, add in a Calmini 3" body lift, trade the pacesetters for thorley's Aight Any advice on the other parts?

Ack, sorry... 1990 Nissan Pathfinder, all stock or OEM Stock replacement parts (for things that wore out) VG30E engine, supposedly stock (Running VIN tomorrow to make 100% sure) I'm 99% sure those parts will fit the pathfinder, just curious as to if they're worth the cost.

NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs - I have heard that Iridium spark plugs are a better choice over normal plugs... gotten this advice from my mechanic as well as a few other people I know who swear by them. Are they worth the slight price increase? If so, I'm all for em! Summit Racing - NGK Iridium Plugs NGK Resistor Spark Plug Wire Sets - To compliment the new plugs, I figured it's time to replace my 18 year old spark plug wires. Are these worth their cost? I figured if I'm getting NGK plugs, may as well get their wires! Summit Racing - NGK Plug Wires K&N Filtercharger Air Filters - I've seen this part advertised quite a lot and have heard many good things about it... figured I'd give it a try. Is it worth the price to get a quality air filter like this? Summit Racing - K&N Air Filter NTK Oxygen Sensors - New oxygen sensors... after 18 years, is this a good thing to replace? Summit Racing - NTK Oxy Sensor Pacesetter Headers - First heard about em here, tis why I was looking at Summit Racing in the first place. This kit has everything I need I think... just wanted to get an opinion. This is probably the single most expensive item on this list, so I wanted to be sure it's well worth it! Summit Racing - Pacesetter Headers Tornado Air Management Systems - I've heard a lot about this thing... but I find their claims to be hard to swallow. Does this thing really make any difference, or is it all a bunch of smoke? Either way, figured it would be a good way to round out my air upgrades. Summit Racing - Tornado K&N Performance Gold Oil Filters - To compliment the K&N Performance air filter, I'm looking at this oil filter. It has an anti-drainback valve that is supposed to help reduce oil flowback after engine shutdown, reducing the effect of cold starts. Is it worth the extra price? If so, I'll stock up on em for each oil change. Summit Racing - K&N Oil Filter MagnaFlow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converters - I've read good things about this Cat on this site... and after 18 years, I'm sure mine is backed up as all hell... this a good buy? Summit Racing - Catalytic Converter Rancho RS5000 Steering Stabilizers - I'm looking at this as an upgrade to my current steering setup. I don't do much heavy offroading... yet. I hope to once I have my truck up to snuff (eg, no longer plain jane stock) for doing such things. Looking for input on this kit Summit Racing Rancho RS5000 Steering Stabilizer Rancho Shock Boots - One of these for the Steering Stabilizer, which doesn't come with one, but is recommended to be used with this to keep debris off of it. Summit Racing - Shock Boot I'm looking at buying a full set of Rancho R5000 shocks... but I need the complete kit (Torsion bars, anti-sway bars, all four shocks, etc) I'm hoping this will have everything? Rancho RCX + 4x RS9000XL shocks Can I get some feedback on this? Is 500 bucks worth this kit? I also need new Torsion bars... are these worthwhile for 250 bucks? CALMINI Torsion Bars I'm also looking at getting WARN Manual Locking Hubs... I think the 28 spline hubs are the right ones for a 1990 pathfinder? WARN Locking Hubs

I'm assuming HID lights fit into a standard headlight socket though, right? And I'm good on the "what to do"... it's the "what I'm working on" that has me somewhat stumped

Ah, so TBI is still considered fuel injection? Okay, that helps clear up some more of my confusion! I = TBI, E = MPI, got it.
