  1. Thats some good looking out there, thanks for doing that. Ill confirm my ASCD is the first part number, but I think you are correct. So that clutch safety would just be pulled from the donor vehicle and two wires ran to the PNSS relay spot right? Just put the two wires into the corresponding pin location? If that is the case, would pin 18 on the TCM be telling the gauge pack to turn on the cruise light when cruise is enabled? Do I need to worry about that or does the ASCD also do that with its pin 13? A rail shifter? Huh, yeah Im sure the electronics would go haywire if it was noticing a different input. Thanks again for your help.
  2. Hawairish Hey man, thanks so much for replying, I really appreciate it. Posting those schematics is a huge help. I looked for the FSM and where it once was, its gone now. I think Nissan made them take it down or something. I bought one on Ebay, but the guy is taking his sweet time to ship it. Sorry about the simple questions, but I want to be absolutely sure before I dive into this. When you write that I need to " replace the Park/Neutral Position Relay with the Clutch Switch, or wire it between the Brake Switch and the Hold Relay and bypass the PNPR". Are you explaining it like the manual is here on page 14 from the manual? Yes, as I was reading up on this I noticed in a few threads that the 3.5's had a power valve on them for the automatic equipped R50s. To correctly convert a 3.5 equipped R50, you have to replace the upper and lower intakes, amongst other items. Once Im done with this, Ill gladly create an addendum to this manual to help any other R50 owners that are looking to convert their autos.
  3. Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer some questions, I appreciate it. After a bit of reading I did see that it seems that the AT TC will work, and that makes a lot of sense. Using two different TC's would have been pretty costly at the time. I also read that the driveshaft is the same, so that's cool. I pretty much came to the same conclusion. It was just a passing thought anyway. Now, the next thing Im thinking of is the cruise control. I did a 5spd conversion on my '95 Suburban and the wiring to make the cruise control work, was too intense so I never got the CC working. This manual doesn't cover the cruise control wiring, but I know from working on the Suburban that the CC cancel switch was on both the brake and the clutch. How the heck do I make this work on the Pathfinder? http://overlandtrucks.com/system-f/Transmission Conversion Manual_final.pdf
  4. I just ran across this, it’s an interesting read so far. It got me thinking about cutting the two engine mounting sides and welding the 5spd mount to the 6spd body. Of course it brings into question, why not just swap in the entire 2gen Xterra drivetrain? https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/6-speed-swap-aka-project-pipedream.6959/
  5. Yeah that’s what I figured. The wording in that manual had me wondering though. I’ll make sure I get those bolts Yes, second gens had the six speed through their entire run. Sure would be nice to get that in the R50, but I did compare the mounting surfaces of the trannys and they are completely different, so without an adapter plate, there’s no way. It seems like it’d be worth it, I’m not sure why no one has done it yet.
  6. The 4spd auto is dying on my '99. I hate the auto and I'd hate to put another in. I found a manual that shows pretty much how to do the swap. I've converted my '95 suburban to an LS/5spd combo, and I've replaced the carpet in my pathfinder so I'm confident I can take this on, especially since there is a manual for the manual conversion available. A few questions remain: 1 - Will the autos transfer case be used with the manual? 2 - Will the autos driveshaft be used with the manual? 3 - Cant the Xterras 6spd be used if the Pathfinders bellhousing was retained? Any help would be appreciated and Ill post pics along the way. Thanks, Nick
  7. I’ve got a ‘99 and I’d like to do some EXU tuning. I looked at HP Tuners, but their website says that Nissans built before ’08 have K-line ECU’s and aren’t supported. So either swap in a VQ35DE or find a different tuner. So who makes tuning software for our ECU’s and what can and can’t be done with this tuner? Thanks Nick
  8. Put in a new loaded strut due to wallowed out strut mount that I installed a year ago. I noticed Monroe put the spacer ON TOP of the strut mount. Last year I put the spacer UNDER the mount. Has anybody else made this mistake?
  9. I actually resolved this. It was a combination of lack of grease and some debris blocking the track.
  10. The title pretty much sums this up. Truck has 235k miles. The sunroof was working fine until it didn’t. The motor sounds fine and the rails are well greased and nothing in its way. There’s no binding sounds, it just sounds like it normally would when at the fully open/closed position. I took the motor out to inspect for missing teeth, but there’s just dust and normal looking teeth. After a bit of research it sounds like it might be a position sensor issue. I’ve looked at the reset procedures and they all start with the assumption of the sunroof being fully closed. I cannot for the life of me force the sunroof closed without worrying about shattering the glass. Do you guys have any ideas?
  11. I appreciate the reply guys. I will just be going to the junkyard and swapping seats, see what fits. Ill start w the same year Maxima and go from there. Thanks again!
  12. Gentlemen, I have a 99LE that needs new seats. I’ve looked through the junkyard for a few months and all the seats I find are in the same condition. So that got me to wondering, I wonder if any of Nissan‘s other models seats would fit the Pathfinders? Has anybody tried this? I would think that maybe the Maxima or the Altima would be the best choice, but of course there is the Quest. What do you guys think?
  13. When I swapped an LS into my 95 Suburban, I found a LM7 for $450 at a salvage yard, a harness for $45 on Craigslist, and I already had my tranny so I didnt need that. My Suburban needs yearly smogging and it passed with flying colors. My trick was, I took it in late on a Friday afternoon, one of the last cars to get tested. I figured its friday afternoon, all the seasoned guys are outta there, it should be a breeze. It was. I passed no problem. Of course the new engine tested much cleaner then the old unit, so that helped. The LS will test cleaner then any VG/VQ engine, so I wouldnt be too worried.
  14. Im the same way, Im about as loyal to GM as they are to me. A 302 in a Triumph? Mmmm, an LS w/dry sump sounds better😋 I am going to start a new thread, instead of continuing to hijack the OPs thread. But I did want to share this before I go. It is a couple LS motors sitting next to a VQ motor. The LS motor is indeed a mouse motor when compared to the VQ. Hmm, cant figure out how to post a pic from my phone. Thats ok, its gonna be in my new thread.
  15. Yeah, its terrible. I can take low HP, but the fuel consumption should be inline with the power. I thinking the all aluminum block, the Nissan electric fans, and the 6spd AUTO will help fuel economy get into the 20's with ease. Things like displacement on demand could be a bonus, but Ive heard it can be temperamental. Yeah 16 is my high, in the 5yrs Ive had this, Ive never seen 19mpg. No matter how miserly I drive it. You should take a serious look at it, with a 6spd manual, I think the MPG's could be even higher. The only thing that gives me pause is the rusty strut mounts. Ive taken a look at mine, they look fine. Id have to look into them more in depth before I committed to a swap. Now heres a guy to put an old 350 in an R50. The LS is physically smaller then the 350, so I'm thinking the LS swap is looking more and more feasible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGhEpa-IfYM
