  1. Patz, I was doing some late night surfing last night and found this site that has standard H4 conversion lens for standard 4"x6" and 7"x6" lenses. Haven't verified our Pathy's dimensions though. These do not seem to be too expensive, but you do have to buy the bulbs separately. I also read somewhere that an H4 has an extra wire which you will need to splice into one of the existing wires. Should be easy with one of those splicing clips you get from Radio Shack. http://www.autoanything.com/products/produ...sion_headlights
  2. Hi Precise1, I added your links to my initial post. I can try to keep updating my initial post, so that there is no need to go through all the replies. I try to keep the links in alphabetical order. Do you think this thread is worth pinning?
  3. I was able to epoxy the several of the blades, so I am now only missing 2. I'll test it out and clip the opposite blades as you suggest if needed. Here is web link thread I started in the garage section: here Let me know what you guys think.
  4. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to specifically consolidate the various weblinks we use to buy parts and reference. I've asked a couple of folks on this forum and they thought it was good idea also. This will definitely be an ongoing project and not meant to index the whole WWW. Any suggestions or comments are welcome, especially if I should delete links, add links, or include comments <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Nissan-Specific Forums</span> 88's WD21 Forums for 87-95 Pathys Nissanoffroad.net <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Auto Parts</span> http://www.4x4parts.com/ http://www.4wheelparts.com/ good price on step bars http://www.autobodypartsonline.com/ http://www.autoparts.com/ http://www.car-part.com Online junkyard stock database http://www.courtesyparts.com/ http://www.directpartsconnection.com/ http://www.everythingnissan.com/ http://www.gorancho.com/ Rancho suspension website http://www.jackit.com/ http://www.lpperformance.com/ http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/RE4R01A.html Trans rebuild kits http://www.maximumautoparts.com http://www.nissanmart.com/ http://www.nissanpartsdistributor.com/ N.O.W. nissan only wreckers TWM said, "...for all of us who don't like spending lots of $$$ on new parts and don't mind good used parts, try this place in sacramento (central cal.).....they have tons of pathy stuff and get new one's all the time from wrecks and what not." http://www.partznet.com/ http://www.pinnaclenissan.com/ print the page for your part and your local dealer must honor the price http://www.purenissan.com/ Calmini suspension products http://www.rockauto.com/ http://www.sparkplugs.com/ good prices on oxygen sensor http://www.spencerlowracing.com/ http://www.summitracing.com/ http://www.suvxccessory.com/ http://www.usedpartslive.com/ site sends your request to various junkyards and used parts dealers.

  5. k9sar, thanks for the tip to clean out the evaporator box. I was not successful in fully removing the bottom half of the evaporator tray, since there seems to be a clip or screw which I could not get to in the rear. I was however able to crack it open enough after removing the blower fan resistor assembly. Sure enough I had a bunch of small dried leaves in there which would have clogged the hose again. I guess it gets through the outside vent and gets chopped up by the blower fan wheel. Now as for my fan only operating at high speed, I read a posting on ebay (by a guy trying to sell his blower fan resistor) that says the resistor is my problem. When I took the resistor out it was all rusted, so this is plausible. I ordered a new resistor from for $12, but shipping was $8. It was worth the shipping cost to not go hunting around at various autopart stores. Wish I knew this before I took the blower motor out and accidently broke several of the blades on blower wheel. When I installed the motor back and tested it out, as I suspected the missing blades would cause an unbalanced rotation at high speeds and cause lots of noise. This blower wheel does not seem to be a readily available product, so I requested a part search at UsedPartsLiveAutoRock On another note, I have collected lots of auto parts links for my pathy. Do you think it is a good idea to start a thread for just web links?
  6. Thanks guys !!! I blew out the hose from the inside using an air compressor. After reattaching the hose, a quart of water drained out. Now for problem with the fan; I took the console apart and exposed the environmental assembly. I took the fan switch apart from the bottom of the assembly and springs popped out with the mechanical copper contacts to my surprise. I don't think the switch is the problem since it is a mechanical switch, not electrical. I will polish the copper connections though and put it back together tomorrow. I have a feeling it is the fan motor. Any ideas where I should look for this fan?
  7. Hi everyone, I have a 95 Pathy and every time I use the AC my passenger side floor gets flooded. I've traced the drips coming from the square "black box" underneath the glove box. I noticed that I have condensation around the whole box and the spongy gasket on the right front-side of the black box is soaking wet. Can anyone tell me what this black box houses and if I need to replace this whole unit. Also there is a rubber hose connection between this black box and cylinder to the right. Anyone know what this cylider is? I noticed I had lots of water in this connection tube. Then of all days, my fan stopped working today. For the past couple of months the fan only worked in the high position, but today no fan at all. Anyone think this is a switch problem or more likely a dead fan? thanks, pm
  8. I finally got my replacement JWT and installed it this weekend. The bracket that came with it did not work. I made some new ones using the bendable aluminum bars with holes. These are the mounting brackets that come with garage door openers. Left my digital camera at the parent's. I'll upload a pict as soon as I get it. One thing to be careful about the JWT. Since the screws are configured in a rectangular manner, the holes will line-up between the MAF and JWT assembly in 2 possible ways. However, the rubber ring gasket will only line-up correctly one way. I found this out the hard way today when I brought my pathy in for a NYS inspection. The CO2 emmissions were way off the chart. I brought the pathy home tp disassemble and saw by the mark that the MAF rubber o-ring made was not centered. Deciding not take any chances and blow another $27 I put the orginal filter back and passed w/ flying colors. Came home and reinstalled the JWT. I'm getting really fast installing an air filter.
  9. Yes, picked up the JWT. Came in the mail the other day, but it was damaged. Looks like it got crushed during shipping. I sent it back yesterday for a replacement. It seems to be larger than the K&N pictures posted here. I'll take a pict of it once I get the replacement and install it.
  10. Hi folks, This is my first post...I've had my pathy for several years now, but just found this forum the past week. All the enthusiasm has renewed my love for my Pathy. I think I got a pretty good deal on the K&N kit...my first aftermarket mod. CourtesyParts.com has a "garage" sale on the K&N for 90-95 for $79 + shipping.
