  1. At least the y-pipe hole isn't the size of a quarter...
  2. I bought my old Pathfinder with a missing stud on the passenger front, never had a problem with it and it was airborne quite a bit.
  3. Go kick the guy in the nuts who said you can't have the STOCK TIRE SIZE for your Pathfinder... Toyota truck SR5s use 31s, Tacomas, 4Runners, Pathfinders...
  4. Because instead of the stock tires being tucked into the fender well over bumps, tires that stick out further will hit on the outer lip of the fender and it is ugly when they do. To avoid smashing the fenders, cutting is advised...
  5. I wonder what defines the "leaking injector" part. Does the ECU measure signal strength to the injector or fuel pressure or what? Far stretch, but if the ECU expects a certain return signal from an injector and doesn't get it, say from a teeny tiny bad connection, then maybe that's what's throwing the code? It's late and it sounds good at the moment, so there.
  6. It just means a slight bit of fuel is getting past your rings, it usually comes with age. Too much gas in the oil to where it becomes thinned out is a bad thing, but a little bit won't hurt anything.
  7. Well, that's good you found the reason behind it fixing it's self. Problems that suddenly go away are the worst ones by far in my opinion, you don't know what caused it or when it's going to malfunction again.
  8. I wouldn't worry about smelling a little fuel in your oil, after all oil and gasoline do share the same combustion chamber... Both of my Pathfinders smell of gas in the oil, same with my buddy's Nissan pick up.
  9. Maybe remove the fenders?
  10. If you're planning on running bigger tires than 31s you'll want 15X8s.
  11. The front suspension in a WD21 Pathfinder ('86.5-'95) is identical to the Hardbody suspension. The rear suspension is different, Hardbodys use a leaf spring set up while the Pathfinders use a 5-link coil spring set up.
  12. If it's the V6 it's the exact same drive train, different shell. 4-banger, nope.
  13. People buy Soft 8s because they look good, are inexpensive, steel, and extremely strong. They're your basic workhorse wheels.
  14. Well, that's a somewhat valid question...L-Series engines use 2 plugs per cylinder and so do Hemis. But of course he could get off his ass and go look...
  15. This thread is making me realize how useful it would have been to make a write up when I replaced my PS pump... maybe if I get bored enough I'll do it again since it only took me an hour. A tip, you'll want to loosen everything while the pump is still attached to the block. Unless you have a big vice, there is no way in hell you'll be able to hold on to the pump or anything tight enough while you try and remove bolts. When I did it, I accessed the high pressure line banjo nut from inside the fender well. Weird, but it's a direct line and plenty of room below to pull on the wrench...which I think is an equivalent to 15/16" which is what I used.
  16. Ahahahahahahahaha! A Pathfinder used for POLICE DUTY?! I can see it now "Hey, you! Slow down and wait for a few minutes while I catch up and arrest your ass!"
  17. Maybe it's for a remote key fob for the locks and alarm?
  18. It's probably hesistating a little at low RPMs due to the low low mileage, meaning it hasn't been driven much and probably wasn't that well cared for. Run some Seafoam through it and see how well it reacts... I'll bet you'll have a crapload of white smoke bellowing out the exhaust when you do. I think there would be a good chance of the belt being a little brittle and I would replace it just to be 100% sure there's not going to be any unexpected surprises...
  19. That's okay, my old Pathfinder used to run 16-17 seconds to 60.
  20. It's relatively easy, hard part is getting the banjo nuts to line up. I suggest marking the fitting and the top of the nut with a marker or something that way it'll line up when you reinstall it.
  21. You wouldn't be bending the rods at that low of RPMs, you'd be bending the valves when they collide with the piston. That isn't hard do considering the inertia and forces inside of a working engine... Even with a couple of bent valves the thing would still run, just like complete crap. I'd do the compression check yourself...
