Hi PerlNinja! If your right foot is getting hot when you drive, it is probably a sign that you need to replace an exhaust gasket. Nissan, in their infinite wisdom, decided to join an exhaust pipe under the driver's side floorboard not far from the gas pedal.... How I found mine was I placed my Pathy on jack stands and crawled under and had my son start it, while holding my hand around the junction. I could feel the exhaust leaking from it as I moved my hand around the area. If it is not the gasket, it may be a hole in the pipe. Make sure the car is cold when you do this so you do not burn your hand. I would send you a gasket, as I had one laying around but I lost it in my last move. Give it a try and let me know what you find? Take care....

I would message them to find out, I do know that they are hard to find used.... There are a lot of Pathfinder's around with them missing.

Congrats!! Well deserved!!!

I would also be careful when working with the struts, I was investigating the strut mount on my 92SE and I assume that the threads on the liftgate door itself were accomplished via spot welding a nut of some type on the inside of the liftgate. I accidently applied pressure on the strut when it was partially unscrewed and the part with the threads popped off and fell inside the hollow area of the liftgate door. For years after that I resorted to using a dowel to prop the door open....

Hi Norcal200486, Aside from the solutions above, my first Pathfinder had a lot of problems with California Smog requirements at about 230k miles. If you are unable to solve the problem on your own, California can help you with the cost of professional repair, there are specific requirements for the program, see this link, they will assist you with $500 towards the repair: http://www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResources/01_CAP&GoldShield/Factsheets/English%20RA%20FAQs.pdf

Yeah, I don't get it....they all seem to get debris in the fan, my son Nick just cleaned mine out. Showed me that all that noise was created by 4 dead leaves in the fan!

And my '85 Nissan 300ZX had a cargo cover, go figure

Welcome Raffy!! You've come to the right place! This is a very friendly and helpful forum! I'm in Southern California!

I would echo what Precise 1 said, I have sent 2 Pathfinder's trannys to the boneyard and can vouch for the fact that you have to take care if you are experiencing a problem....

I've had 3 SE's, just worked out that way.....so no experience with XE's

There's a great, helpful group on here!!!

Great to have you here Jeff, my first Pathy was a 1992 SE, loved that truck....that's the truck pictured as my profile pic!!

Welcome to the forum!!! Once you've had a Pathfinder, nothing else is quite the same!!!

I'd be up for wheelin' if there are more get togethers, unfortunately I got the word from my Doc this week that I can't even think about it till after September/October.... :-(

Welcome to the forum! That is one clean Pathy, you are very lucky!! I like your plans!!

Welcome!!!

When a die hard Jeeper in a modded, lifted rig does a black diamond trail and admits that he only did it because he can't believe you did it stock!

My 93 SE is at 176,000 miles, about 54,000 on the engine build.....

So true!! A late model Wrangler got stuck twice in the snow on a trail I had already negotiated in my stock 92 SE with street tires, and I used a round wood post to hold up mine!!

Yugo, a fine example of Serbo/Croation technology!!!

Welcome to the family!!! I'm on my 3rd WD21 and lovin' it!!! :aok:

Like the tires!! Met with a new lady tonight, she made major points telling me my Pathfinder looked like a classic car!!

Don't get me wrong, I am gonna keep'em in my garage with the more street oriented tires, but I don't really want to bang'em up off road. They cost a bit of change....

Adam, I was faced with slim pickings out here for a decent Pathfinder, so I was putting together a plan to upgrade one to include the Xterra trans. Well, after my son talked me into looking at the Project Pathfinder rig that was for sale at the time, you know the rest of the story!......
