That is how I removed the tent from the windows on my pathy that looked like a 3rd grader did the work.

TOTM Is not a easy thing to win, I have been in it several times with my WD-21, I never vote for myself and every vote i get I am happy about even though I dont win, Why you may ask every vote means someone besides me likes my rig. It really is not about winning its about trying.

It is very common to have a common power for the injectors and have the ECM control the ground to complete the circute. This is done because it causes less strain on the ECM.

The LSA and LS3 are good truck engines, The LQ4 and LY6 would both need cams done to be good truck engines. I have to deal with these things every day here at work is the only reason I know so much about them. Although we do have 1 LSA that We destroyed a piston -rod in seeing how much spark we could throw at them before detonation, that looks like with some honing could be rebuild able, so I am skeeming on a way to get them to give it to me supper cheep sense they can no longer sale it sense we sale new products only. If I ever manage to pull it off It will go in the pathfinder LOL.

In most cases that is true, but the LY6,LS3, and LSA have the same cams for automotive and marine, although there is a LY6 made with a industrial cam set that produces more power at the low range but its max RPM is 4500. The only difference with the marine LS3 and LSA is that they have higher quality seals in several locations.

You want the axle from a Jeep Grand Wagoneer not a cherokee xj, or ZJ, the full size type ones. and the gearing thing really depends on your driving style.

I was trying to be sarcastic about that. But yes the pathfinder has a very durable frame. The LSA dose take a big jump in its torque at 2400. but that jump at 2400 it to above 500 ft-lbs. not like the 3.3L's 202 ft-lbs at 2800. It is not a honda engine by any means. Here I will attach a power curve that is a little de-rated as it is a production spec marine version we sale.

I welded 2 bolts 2 the carrier and put nits on them that take a 19 mm wrench witch there are always 2 spares of in the pathfinder sence it is used all over the place. Yes you will see it at the mister jim run allot like nige posted except i don't have the cool wing nuts. I just used what I had 4 free.

Here is how i did mine

To state the true facts Japan, Germany, USA, and Italy have all contributed to the new eras of cars in some ways while whenever one group makes a true improvement the others copy it it is just the way of the industry. There are other places that don't contribute technology just use what these 4 have learned.

My old springs had been chopped 4 lowering it so I got allot better ride when i swapped mine in, but I cant tell you from stock but i can tell you they have a nice ride quality on the street.

The first upgrade I would preform is a center link update. grassroots center link . After the center link I get a idler arm brace and steering stablizer steering kit. The manual hubs manual hubs. Then get the front suspention lift you want the one for same year hardbody although the rear lift parts do not match. you want to get the rear coils. Then get a body lift. Then get a nice set of 33" tires to fill the fenders. That is the order i would build it in. Then do things like bumpers winch and such.

Welcome to NPORA and the world of pathfinders. the only problem with getting a WD21 is you will fall in love with the things and always need 1.

I have hit my rear shocks on rocks, branches, and other trail dab-re

I have to agree with 87 pathy sounds like a vacuum leak. might even be the tube from air box to throttle body splitting on top or bottom as this is a pretty common problem and causes the affects you are seeing.

I used the AC 3" lift coils and I love how they ride. I am glade I went ahead and spent the money on them, with the spare tire on back and standard wheeling gear in back they are just right for offroad performance.

Not trying to thead jack here but people having the fuel smell extra gas use With the MPI engines should try this thread link Sorry to thread Jack

You might want to look more into that the shelby version was the mid package with a turbo on it, The pacifica was the max loaded with the turbo package.

I know its probably no ones favorite car but the 88 dodge daytona with the rare pacifica package, had power everything, I have never to this date seen a more electronically adjustable seat, it had a onboard trip computer, a electric display dash, a tap deck-equilizer-with cd player (yes both tap and CD) They did not have power sunroofs as they were t-tops. One of these was my first car not my first vehical but my first car.

With all these great engine ideas, Why not just go with a GM LSA so you can twist the poor frame into 2 peaces.

I have the harbor freight welder, I didn't mean to make it sound like it couldn't do the frame it can its bumpers, and a roll cage I wouldn't really trust it on, Although I might use it on a none winch bumper, but in no way would I trust it for a cage. On the other hand It is not a bad welder great to learn with. It can do many small jobs with ease. When you said roll cage is what made the stop sign pop up in my head, A roll cage is not something that you want to gamble on, A poorly welded cage can do more damage then good in some cases.

I am sure some other people will disagree with me but, I would go with the harbor freight one as you can add a regulator and tank later to use it as a MIG welder instead of a flux core welder. You could box the frame, make bumpers and a cage with that welder But I don't think I would trust them to hold up to any abuse or a rollover.

Done I will start trying to post more of those kinds of things.
