both my old pathy and my new D21 are from '93...

i have one that is in the black binder with the nissan logo indented on it.with all that service info and stuff. when i got my new d21 it came with a Hayne's manual... SCORE!

they also carry the Calmini UCA kit...

here you they are in the hardbody section under suspension parts... http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/superlift-upper-control-arms-nissan-hardbody-1986-1997-p-3868.html

under the dash, there should be a rubber lining with sponge on the back it covers where the floor meets the firewall. when i pulled mine up the join was separating. i also had rust holes in the top right corner. drivers side was the same. my "new" D21 has some holes but not as bad. dang salt!

ya chains are terrible, i know 2 ppl that had their windows smashed out because of them breaking. i guess if thats all you had you could wrap some stuff around it like a winch wire, might keep it down if it breaks. the worst is the hurky jerky as i call it. getting a bunch of slack and taking a run at it. Theres a video on youtube of a truck trying to pull another truck with brute force and his hitch ripped off and put a hole in the stuck truck's tailgate.

Your floor probably has holes in it. Mine had some big ones, drivers side was worse. careful of the computer is under the passenger seat.

there could be several holes in the exhaust, also the exhaust travels right under the driver's feet. the floor on my old pathy had rusted out and had big holes right above the exhaust. I had to through the carpet and insulation out because it was soaking wet gross. all the mud and puddles didnt help.

If you want to do it on a budget you could get coil spacers.

This is a very good option. I didnt have this switch on my pathy. I stalled in a really bad spot half way up a rock-face, i left it in gear and used the starter to pull me up the hill. hehehe I dont recommend it, but it worked well. Now i want an electric 4x4

That is a good question. I live in the middle of nowhere, and there are no pathys in a JY near here. Also the Frame of the pathy was like Swiss cheese, damn salt. The previous owner, ran it into the ground. It became a money pit, so the ECU was the straw that broke the camel's back. p.s. we had a few inches of snow here last week. I took out the D21, did some 2 & 4 wheel drifting in the old bush roads. Hit a couple small mud holes. It passed the test no problem.

hey all, i haven't been around in a while since my pathfinder died (fried ECM). I was sad for a while, but then i came across a BLACK '93 D21 hardbody Automatic. The previous owner could not get it to start. turned out to be a bad ground. Picked it up for $200!!! Its only got 130,000 KM on it. Its got tons of power. needs a couple little things, mostly cancer removal around the wheel wells. By the way, do i have to find A Nissan Hardbody off-road forum now?

I did this sorta thing with my 8500lbs Superwinch. Mounted it on 5/8th steal plate. welded the plate to upside down reese hitch (without a ball). got an old class 3 hitch receiver from a JY, cut off the mounting brackets. Then to mount the straight bar with the receiver hole, I drilled and bolted it to my front bumper mounts. I cut out the small peice of metal on the bumper between the turn signals so it would sit closer to the body. Having quick connects can make it easy to switch from from to back. I had hitch-pin with a key lock built in for security. I used it hard, abused it is more like it, and it never broke, never ripped off the front clip. lol

Theres quite a collection of nice guitars in this thread, Ive been playing about 13 years, I have: Washburn Dime333 (dimebolt) yamaha APX-3 Acoustic - Tabacco sunburst colour yamaha electric bass, ($200 cheap-o) My brother has a fender stratocaster- deep red/purple with white pick guard A fender acoustic from the 70's... (I found it in my friends basement crawlspace) A Ovation Celebrity acoustic ( rounded back)

hey, sorry i was away for a couple days. I fixed the wires with a combination of copper wire, saulder, crimp connectors and electrical tape. They were white with red stripe, green with red. those were the worst ones. I pulled the codes but only got code 55. No trouble code. I think it drained the battery too. I can get the codes to flash but wont turn the engine over. Turns over with jumper cables attached but wont start. Sounds like the pump is working, but not the spark. You are probably right about the ECU being damaged. would reseting it help? Also when i turn the key, not retriving codes, both red and green lights come on.

I have a 93 pathy, and a hidden hole in the floor under the wiring harness going by the passengers feet. I think it is probably to the On-board diagnostic. Anyway water got in there and it started smoking on day. There were about 4 or 5 wires that had melted through. I repaired the wires, but now the pathy wont start. It will turn over but it will not start. Im gonna try and retreive the codes tomorrow, if anyone has any idea, please let me know.

does anyone think the seafoam is the problem? ive heard a lot of mixed stories about it. Maybe the water remover you put in cleaned some of the gunk from the bottom of your tank, pulling it through the lines, probably would clog a new filter or injector in your case. was the water remover Ethanol or Methanol? Methanol has a higher octane. its worth checking out. they sell small bottles of 100% methanol at NAPA.

Thanks for all the info folks the reason i never seen a king cab, is probably due to me living in a real small town in the middle of pretty much nowhere. I don't think id buy it though, as its nothing much different than my 4door pathy. My pathy frame is rusted right out. it was neglected by the previous owner(s). Engine oil looked like it was never changed,they decided it didnt need the O2 sensor plugged in...the spring seats on the frame are about to break off. It might be time to say bye bye to the pathy.

I found a king cab D21 on kijiji for $850. Ive never seen a king cab version before. I was wondering what you guys thought. Are they hard to find? http://thunderbay.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle...QAdIdZ132534096 http://thunderbay.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeI...4577min_18.jpeg

aslong as its free of rust. My 93 pathy frame is rusted right out. It was not looked after by the previous owner. I want to give it a fitting farewell. It wouldnt be hitting trees or breaking off doors. I want to extreme wheel it until it wont anymore. I know ppl say its a waste but i live in the middle of NOWHERE. Keeping it for parts is not really worth it, unless i can find another pathy for cheap, with a solid frame. It wont be easy in Northern Ontario. I only know of 3 other WD21's in my town.. Let me know what you think. P.S. when my dakota was on its last leg i took it off some jumps my best was about 5 feet in height and about 20feet distance. then recycled as much parts as i could.

maybe all the Canadian sold pathys were made in japan... just a thought. i also want to paint my pathy with some 80's/90's style racing stripes like the prerunner.

You might want to take a look at the Rancho RSX shocks. they are twin tube nitrogen charged with self-adjusting valves, they stiffen up on the road and soften when you hit the dirt. I have them on the back of my pathy, i like them although i havent put a lot of kilometres on them. They are only a little more than the 5000's in price. a lot cheaper than the 9000's

I have an EX, 5-speed vg30e 4x4, but it has a nissan 10 disc CD changer in the back. I thought that was cool for a base model. oh and heated floors haha

i didnt think mine was too bad until, i stuck my finger though the frame! the original owner didnt take car of it at all.
