For the sunshade.

So what is the part number....?
-
Could be snake - although the fetus doesn't look like one.
-
Those are reptilian. Turtle maybe?

FINALLY got the intake manifold installed. Got all the spark plug wires but #6 - then it got dark and I gave up. Tomorrow: modify power-steering bracket, install radiator, fan, shroud, v-belts, header cross over, battery. Then turn the ignition.

Oh man. Tough break! You had fun with it though! I'm thinking a WD21 would be a good next investment also.
Then we could buy parts off you to pay for it. lol -
There were several brush/grille guards that were optional. From what I know "brush guard" means it "protects" the lights also, and grille guard just "protects" the grille. Generally a brush guard is part of a grille guard. As far as winch mounts go, I have seen pictures of a variety of guards that had a winch plate, and personally owned a factory guard that had a winch plate (no winch unfortunately). Incidentally, the winch that came from the factory was a 6000lber.

Get one with a MPFI V6. More power and you have the option of swapping in a vg33 with less issues later on down the road. Saying that, there is nothing wrong with the TBIs either.
-
Completed installing the front diff with drop down bushings and bolted the VG33 engine mounts down.
-
I ended up unbolting the mounts. It helped a bit - especially since it was just me and a tranny jack.
-
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?
-
Come help me fix my truck and im down. lol
-
I've been finding the same thing as he has ^

Neat plan. Good luck with everything. How do you like the OME springs?
-
Hello.
-
Think there's some suspension in the way to do that, plus there's a reason the X guys swap TO a wd21 tank from a setup similar to a HB
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 haven't tried studded tires on either of my pathfinders, but have on other vehicles and they do help handling at moderate speeds.
These days I drive on a lot of hard packed snow on top of gravel and carry a set of heavy duty chains for the rear. They will chew their way through almost anything when I get hung up in a drift or need to tow someone (or something).
The down side of the big chains being they toss a lot of rock when they break though, and to drive more than 20KM/hr would surely shake the windows out once underway.
I would like to try a set of the cable style to fit 31X10.5s' for the front but have not stumbled across any...yet.
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.

YEAH SON!!
That was a fun excursion!
Congrats!
-
I spy RANCHO A-ARMS!!

Uhhhhh, I just noticed the pilot convertor thing. I didn't know about this and I don't think I removed it!!!!! The truck drives perfect though and the flywheel mounted (I thought) normally. Now I'm going to have bad dreams tonight!!!!
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.
What did you do to your Pathfinder today?

Took the upper timing cover off, aligned it at TDC on the compression stroke, re-installed the distributor, put it all back together, then started the VG33E right up!
