  1. A bit past due, but on Sunday I replaced the new headlights switch with the old one.

    The old one started failing and had been repaired two years ago, but I'd already bought a new one.

    Luckily I kept the old, because the newer started to fail, dash and tail lights aren't turning on anymore.

  2. Nope. No tries :-)

     

    A tranny shop will do the work, I don't havê the equipamentos nor the knowledge for it. Since around here all VG33 Pathys are pre-01, and all XTerras are MT with a diesel 2.8 engine, I guess the best option for me is to keep my original transmission and bet in a careful rebuild.

  3.  

    MUST BE A RWD VG3X transmission!

     

    Oh

    Those I've seen are from VQ35 Pathfinders. But all of them are RE4R01A too, 4x4.

    I thought that we had 01+ Pathys with either VG33 or VQ35 in Brazil, but after doing some search, it looks like they're all VQ35.

     

    Don't the 01+ Pathys are all VQ35 in USA also?

  4. I've got a chance to buy transmissions from 3.5 Pathfinders, I've found from 2002, 2003 and 2004. They're all RE4R01A, but the 03 & 04 code is 4EX75, and the 02 is different.

    I am tempted to get the one from the 2004, but I'm still in doubt.

  5. I've welded and installed it. But the left side of the brush guard is a little bit bent. As I want to put a winch plate on it, there will be a small gap, and one more week point.

     

    Now I have to decide what to do:

    - Buy another from a junkyard (I've found one but they asked about US$ 180)

    - Have someone cut custom new brush guard sides

    - Build a winch bumper

     

    I know a winch bumper would be the best option.

    But I like the look of the original brush guard. :)

  6. Trying to mount a JY brush guard on my Pathy I've noticed that it stands higher from the bumper than expected. I've compared to many images from 93-95 WD21's and they all seem to connect to the lower part of the plastic grid, while in mine the bumper tab and the hole in the brackets are higher. Mine is a 94.

     

    ALAIK, there shouldn't be any difference. Am I correct?

  7. I had two washers on mine but it wasn't working anymore.

    Then I cut a strip of rubber mat and wrapped it around the striker, fixed with some glue for rubber.

    Now the lights doesn't flicker, and closing the rear hatch is much softer than ever, without that hard iron-to-iron sound.

  8. Fixed the rear hatch sensor/flickering lights issue. The washers wasn't working anymore. A strip of 1mm rubber mat around the striker and some glue for rubber fixed it. Now it sounds much more soft when closing the door and the lights don't blink even in the worst road.

  9. I like what you've done here. Did you record the process for a DIY of these installs? I'd love to add a 12V to my trunk and illuminate the rear passenger one. I want my pathfinder to look like a space ship, the more LEDs the better haha

     

    Late reply. Sorry.

     

    I've got some images, I'm gonna get them and write it up.
