So ya..... i just lost my job. No more beers, no more pathy mods) I can't even pay the poor thing off.

Learn to drive stick Don't go to the dark side

The Trans sounds like the wd21's manual boxes infamous lack of lubrication, basically you need a replacement box from what i can gather, if you carry on driving it around it will eventually drop the bearings through the bottom and grenade, could take more with it if this happens. Park it up, get it done Read: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2621 Cheers dude.

in my trade, i'm taught never to put in make shift 'screw' patches. What i would do would require a mig welder and some rough skills, put a grind mat over the fuel lines, cut out, make new patch out of clean steel, butt weld it in and rust treat it. Nunya's idea probably wouldn't be too bad, depending on what type of vehicle compliance laws there are in your area.

hey i used to have a honda! *points finger at greg*

main thing as bigshoe i believe it was said, make sure there isn't a whine in any gear. The manual transmissions are notorious for being unreliable due to lack of lubrication of the gears. The rust under the back seats is a main thing too, if there is rust check if it has extra bracings on the rear seatbelt anchorages that usually allows it pass road compliance, or warrant tests with straight panel steel patches. Can't give too much info on the engine as mines a td27 turbo diesel not a 3lv6. I would go for it mate

Hmmm i've never come across a 2wd pathfinder :O Only 4wd with 2hi,4hi, and 4lo? Enlighten me, theres a rwd pathfinder?

Cheers for that dude Should help a heap. I would do but ferry tickets are expensive, and so is diesel lol

sooooooo.... I'm wanting to swap out my open diff for a slippery diff. How much of a mission is this? bolt in bolt out?

Oh really? Thats kinda suck, not even single blast air horns? Good luck anyway and sorry i can't help further.

For the tach check that the tip of the needle is not touching the face of the gauge, this is a common problem in WD21s

If you can hear it its probably too late, i guess topping up will extend the life of it.

coming from an apprentice panel beater, we dismantle things the hard way. No such thing as a service manual in our shop, just think about it, take a second, and then start ripping off interior trim pieces till you find the fastners, i reckon they should be behind one of the pillar trims in the back there as RWC said.

Screw it dude, get an airhorn. I did

bump for more guesses.

He's a kiwi and we like to do it too, bloody aussies! Lol j/k dude. rb30, nice choice of engine. Sounds like a good project keep us informed mate. why not the vg30 though?

From what i gather. Horse Power (hp/rpm) 99/4000 Torque (lb-ft/rpm) 159/2200

Import a chassis from NZ we don't have salted snowy roads up in the north island

I'll confirm this, its the case with most vehicles If we have to paint a dash at work we mask and blast. Its not worth the labour to get the grates out.

"Get higher octane combustion. Utilizing oxy-hydrogen gas to boost a fossil fuel with a complete burn of all the hydrocarbons, produces a way cleaner emission. In fact so clean you will NOT pass the SMOG test. " That doesn't sound too appealing. so clean it will not? Hmmmmm.
