It is a forum for Pathfinders....

How the hell did you get the thing back in? I have been fighting with it all day and finally just gave up (until tomorrow). I was trying to do it without unbolting the engine mounts (I just got them in and it will be irritating if I have to unbolt AGAIN). Does it make all the difference with the diff? What did you use to lift the diff up?

I've been finding the same thing as he has ^

Neat plan. Good luck with everything. How do you like the OME springs?

Yeah, I understand why they did that. I was curious as to if I could run both tanks. But you are right, there is too much suspension stuff in the way - possibly the only downside of coils in the rear.

What about doing the opposite? could a D21 tank fit under a pathfinder?

I'm picking up a set of cable style for the front tomorrow. If I have to put them on, then I will use them on the front for more steering/braking control. I can always throw it in 4wd if i loose forward traction.

I spy RANCHO A-ARMS!!

I think you will be ok. When I did mine the bushing I took out of the crank end looked and measured exactly the same as the one I put in there.

Firstly you may need to work on some punctuation skills. Secondly plenty of people have done 5 speed swaps including me, it is useful to search sometimes. Thirdly a 5 speed from a 92 will fit in a 95. However, you must use the transfer case from the 95 as 1993 onwards had electronic speedometers and pre 1993 had mechanical.

try spraying some silicone lube in the lock mechanism.

So if i have a 2.25" or 2.5"exhaust setup, what is the point in getting a direct fit cat that is only 2"? Wouldn't it make more sense to get one that matches the rest of the exhaust and weld flanges to it?

No, that is not what you need to make a VG33. VG33 is a different engine. If you want more explanation please start a new thread as this one is about this sweet turbo setup.

vg33 with cams will do around 200hp NA (turbo would be amazing) and the big draw is that you dont have to "make it fit" - however no point in any engine swap unless you have a blown motor or a lot of spare cash. did you upgrade your cams on this turbo build? If not, why not?

Rugged Rocks Offroad is not the same as Rocky Road Outfitters.

Yeah, try pushing the shifter down and then back like suggested above. If your tcase is really busted I have a spare you can have for reeeaaallly cheap.

Excellent man. Can you get a pic of those injectors in the factory rails for us? What flow rate are the STi injectors at? Also will you have to use a spacer for them to fit in the plenum as they have a longer end?

Here's an option for you: VG30 Fuel Rails They make it so you can use other OE injectors; They recommend Mazda RX7 injectors.

I dont think there is any change in the fuel maps or anything. It didnt feel any more or less powerful.

ok man the plug on the left of the picture where the brown and black wires come out is what you need to splice together. I honestly just intertwined the wires and then wrapped electrical tape around them as I was supposed to hook it all up to the safety switch etc - but never got around to that. Does that help? You dont need to swap out ECUs from auto to manual - if you were going manual to auto then you would.

Hey man, I can get a pic of the wire you need to join together to jump it - but I wont be able to get it till a bit later. It is a thick brown wire with a thin yellow band on it if I remember correctly. I Think both ends are attached to one of the harnesses which are on the passenger side engine compartment. If you solder them together it will work, but you could also rig it to go to the Neutral safety, and maybe have a manual switch as a anti-theft (my plans eventually lol). Get that pic as soon as i can

Or you can buy adjustable links at rugged rocks offroad.

Yeah, just replace the whole thing. Usually they have lifetime warranties so if it breaks you get the replacement for free. I wish I had thought of that. I ended up jamming it with a spare towhook. hahaha, ah the eloquence of truth.

i know right? youll get slightly less compression with the deeper cutouts, which i assume would mean slightly less power. IDK if it would be significant though.

its because the quest/mercury pistons have deeper grooves cut into them. look at Nissannuts webpage about his vg33 swap and he has a side by side shot of the quest vg33, regular vg33 and vg30 pistons.
