Not sure where you're at (little too lazy to look at profiles right now..) but I still have the yakima set up from my pathfinder, worked great. They use the metal tabs that are already in your factory roof rails and mount like that. I used to carry 4 kayaks or 4 mountain bikes or 2 kayaks and my friend sitting in one of them... its a strong set up. I was a certified yakima installer/rep at the shop I used to work at so if you have any questions let me know.

yea, junior year got the best of me, but now that I'm a senior... I put up a couple pics and an update in the off topic section. Everyone here is so much more friendly than XOC....

VQ40 =

no. I believe MP3 capabilities for Nissan CD players debuted with the 05 Xterra/Frontier upgraded radio.

I actually noticed the exact same thing as Dan, went to clean my MAF and there was a nice coating of dirt on it. The thought of that stuff being further in the engine inspired a nice sea foaming. I'm sure K&N is fine for street use, but fine dust and dirt just seems to go right through

yep, hi-lift and stock running board... oops

thats a steal. I paid 38.88 for the twin pack.. maybe I should go get some backups.

I put the silverstars in. They are nice.

I don't know if this applies to the pathy, but when a buddy and I pulled the actual headlights from a 92 Ford Tempo way back in HS to change the bulbs we then had to realign the headlights and that REALLY sucks. You might be better off pulling the battery if that is the case with the path.

Huh, well guess it's finally time to replace that thing. It's been throwing that code for two years, but I guess it's finally gone loco. it's a 70 dollar part and I might have to partially drop the tranny. fun....

It's a manual so with the clutch in or in N

Settles at about 900 after being fully warmed up, like 20-30 minutes sometimes

Ok I don't know if some of you remember my transfer case story from Decemeber, basically had to be replaced. Anyways, after I got it back from the shop it idled WAY higher than it ever had before. I figured it had to with them changing the serpentine belts, tensioner pulley, harmonic balancer and checking the SES light. Mess with the computer and that stuff, figured a month or so would let it settle back into normal. It hasn't. This is now almost april and everytime I start it it kicks up to 2K, fuel cuts, 2K cuts, 2K and falls to about 1900 and slowly works it way down as it warms up to a warm idle of about 900-1000. I am at a loss, the only code on the SES was the same one that has been there for years, the Crankshaft POS Sensor. Been there since my clutch was replaced. Any ideas? (I will be starting another topic for my other neat issue)

My light stopped coming on. I put in 19.7 one time and the light had not come on

What about Syn/Blends? Are those just BS?

My dad almost shelled ou the 250 his dealer wanted to fix it... That was pretty poor on Nissan's part

new CD player meaning aftermarket? Well you will be hard pressed to find an in dash aftermarket 6disc. I looked, pioneer used to make one but they aren't any more and that unit is few and far between on the ol' ebay. As for the BOSE unit, I know in the 01's it sucks and ends up breaking, happened to my fathers. We got a standard in dash nissan 6 disc changer off ebay and it plugged right in and worked fine.

Yea. well. I had to be back here by the 3rd for start of classes, came back for new years (Truck was not done) then blitzed home on friday picked up pathy and drove back saturday. Needless to say I am beat. combine that with 24 credits this time around and I want it to be summer. It's all done though, runs great (had some other things done while it was in harmonic balancer, idler pulley, etc)

Update: It was ATF in the transfer case. So who knows what went wrong, something was definately wrong as there was this horrible driveline howl at highway speeds.... oh well just money.

I just let the sun's UV rays bend it... haha.

Took the path into the shop to have a half shaft replaced, they being the good shop they are checked all my fluids. Well they found metal shavings in both the tranny and transfer case pans. They told me that the majority of the metal was from the transfer case and they found a used transfer case for 700. They could however not find a used (manual) transmission. Any ideas on what I should do? Thinking about having them just button it up and trading it in... Odd is the fact I just had the transfer case fluid changed about a month ago... Anyways any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just get a replacement for another vehicle that mounts to the windshield.. I hate that review mirror that refuses to hang parking passes properly...

I love my AC lift and Rancho 5000's. The ride is stiff and controlled and didnt cost me an arm and a leg (well I got the springs used off this board). After the lift settled a little bit the ride was exactly what I wanted in an SUV, stiff enough to perform well on the highway while still soft enough to take the riggors of off road use. The topping out struts you get used to, slow down over bumps. The main reason I didnt go with the OME set up was I didnt like the "drag car" stance it got being taller in the rear than in the front.

Sorry to hi-jack this post... but I got my clutch replaced at a shop and I got it back from them and the SES light was on.. Ran the codes at advance and it was the CAS.. unfortunately I had this job done in the middle of nowhere West VA as my clutch went out en route to home from school so I didnt go back to fight it.. But it's been two years now and I havent replaced it. Is this a difficult replacement?

yea. there is. My dad has an 01 with the 3.5, I get back in the 97 and I swear it feels like a 4banger pulling her along... The 3.5 is a NICE engine
