On my '87SE starting from the left (nearest our driver's door), first I have my mirror control, then the rear hatch release. To the right of the steering column I have the rear wiper control and lastly, the infamous "interlock" switch. My '91 HB's E-brake is under the dash, not through it. Standard old pull-type ratchet & pawl ~ pull on it & turn to release. A friend had a standard cab up in Nv. with the bench seat, his E-brake, too, was under the dash. Not sure what " some old import trucksthe ebrake still being therewith a little split in the bench for it to be used." that JonseyUSN's remembering, but I don't think it was a HB. Peter, it'd be interesting (to me, anyway) to see a pic of the dash layout on your Terrano ~ if you can find the time...

Was jj asking about the rubber ones, or the painted "hard" ones that they're mounted to? Inquiring minds need to know...

Sorry, my mistake! It is the factory service manual. Original post has been edited... :type: He still has 2 ~ just click "View seller's other items"...

Try adjusting the tension on your release cable ~ it's wire that stretches over time. Also, you might make sure that your little rubber bumpers for your hood on either side of the radiator support haven't screwed themselves down too far. Take a Phillip's head and back them out a bit, that'll create some tension against the latch so it goes back to "popping" open again. The lube's a good idea, too. I'd try those before running out & springing for a new latch... GL

My '91 H/B has the buckets, being a KingCab. Even at that, the E-brake is to the right of the steering wheel under the dash. Personally, give me the buckets anyday over the bench, but whatever floats your boat. Sorry to say I don't know anyone with a standard cab to measure one for you. You might try posting over on Nissan4wheelers ~ they have a sizable following for the H/B trucks, maybe someone can help you better with your questions, or give you the dimensions. Good group of very knowledgeable & mod-happy Nissan enthusiasts ~ check it out: Nissan4wheelers Link Dealer-wise you'd be looking at (I would think) astronomical prices for an engine/tranny combo. Have you looked into the prices at one of those engine or tranny exchanges that handle the pull-outs from Japan? I believe most of them have something like 30k miles on them, just might be a more economical alternative for you. Always nice to have a dream...

So sorry, mudfinder. You originally asked for opinions, you didn't say you wanted opinions reinforcing your's. When I gave you one, you proceeded to say I was ignorant ~ or at least that my tongue-in-cheek comment was. I didn't have a "problem" until then. If you'd rather not hear opposing viewpoints, it's very simple ~ DON'T ASK FOR THEM. The choice is your's, of course. You want a Dodge, go buy one, no sweat off of my balls. In my rebuttal I simply used your own comments as to your deciding factors for your "Dodge wins" predication. It was my choice to label them as ignorant. Quid pro quo. BTW, you made it painfully obvious that you lose the education arguement. To paraphrase: "Better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool, than open it and dispel all rumors." FIN

H/B trucks use a standard sealed beam light, they won't interchange with the Pathy's bulb-type. I'm in need of one myself, I'll do some looking & post a link or two in an edit... No idea if these are any good or not. Seems that quality is usually somewhat suspect on alot of this eBay crap... Pathy lights... Might try either one of these... www.car-part.com or nissanpartspro.com

I ran into these after looking at another thread. I can't use one, but I thought I'd give those of you who can a head's up. I've got one for my '91 Supra, it's in PDF format ~ pretty nice, super easy to look things up, and you can print out anything you need to drag to the garage to study in person. Service Manuals He's got 2 or 3 of them... let the bidding begin! :type: (Kudos to trialsin26 for the original link)

That is the manual, more than likely in PDF form on the CD. Pretty good price for what it is. I've got one for my '91 Supra. They're nice IMHO. Real handy. If it was for an '87-'89 I'd be jumpin' on it... Went & looked, if anyone's interested in one for their '94-'95 Pathy, he's got a couple of them... :type: Yes, it's tons better than anything you'll find at AutoZone...

No problem, I've searched for things and have come up with 5 pages of crap that have nothing to do with what I was looking for. Ummm, six pieces instead of four would be my guess. Gotta do something with that extra door you're hauling around...

I'm not as a rule a phlegmatic type, but you got to me this time. Something tells me you wouldn't know ignorance if it fell out of the sky and stuck to your microencephelic head. Ignorance is your "buddy" calling the Titan "feminine". Ignorance is agreeing with him, as you have decided on a rig that is more suitable to your overdeveloped sense of machisimo rather than any sense of pragmatism. Ignorance is saying a rig like the Dodge (or virtually most any truck for that matter) has "awsome handling". Ignorance is letting someone else (that own neither) essentially decide for you what you're going to buy. Ignorance is thinking that taking a rig for a test drive and "punching it" is a realistic expectation as to how it'll be on a day to day basis for the next several years. Ignorance is thinking you'll get anywhere near 19 mpg with it. If you'd like more examples let me know, I'd be happy to oblige you. How's that for an opinion? Have you ever bothered to ask a Titan owner what they thought of their rigs? Are they nonexistant where you live? Have you tried going to other Nissan boards and perusing their respective Titan posts to see what real owners live with? Would you be surprised that they're more than likely as passionate about their rig as the Ram owner is about his? They'd more than likely talk your ear off extolling their virtues if you ever bothered to ask one. All it would take is spotting one and asking it's driver. I've got an idea ~ buy a used Dodge and use the extra money to go back to school. Invest in a class or two that'll teach you not only how to spell, but use correct punctuation & capitalization, too. You might try a physics class while you're at it. You can learn about torque and neato things like that. Then again, they say ignorance is bliss... -thnkboutit-

Gee, I wonder what kind of response you'll expect to get on a Nissan board? At least with the Nissan you'll be getting superior reliabilty, better power, better resale value, better engineering, better build quality, ad infinitum compared to the POS Dodge... :X Curious, where do you "hear all positives from Dodge. and none on Nissan."? Dodge maybe? :confused: You're kind of contradicting yourself there, muddy. You can't have more torque but less "balls". It just doesn't work that way ~ HP means nothing without torque, and torque is balls...

I beg to differ, Summit has this listing here: Bushwacker Fender flares for '90 Pathy And another: Rocky Mountain Suspension And a link to another thread here asking the same thing you are. Try searching... Fender Flares, know of any good sites? Take a look... :type:

Yeah B, that was it, still feeling like a dumba$$ over that one. Up 'til that point my '87 had never been in an accident, sure couldn't blame this one on some blue-haired snowbird...

LOL ! Yeah, but they're smaller, right? I can see where there was cause for concern. Your muffler looks an awful lot like the ones every Ricer wannabe that owns a Dodge Neon has on it over here...

In 16 years, the only time I ever rubbed on my flares with 31's was after I did this:

Not so much a spacer as it is an isolator... keeps the rattles down. You can install spacers there to gain lift though. Some lift kits do exactly that rather than going to the expense of manufacturing coils... :contract:

Just the BJ's. A couple of inches shouldn't adversely effect your tie rods too much unless your hitting the trails on a regular basis. The higher the lift, the more stress you'll be subjecting your parts to. That's why there's kits from Calmini and L & P to beef up the steering links, etc. Tire diameter can play into as well. Also depends on how hard you hit the trails. Some cruising on a backroad out to your fave waterhole for some fishin' isn't going to be as hard as trying to climb a 4.5 rated boulder-strewn trail... -thnkboutit- BTW, Moog makes fine parts, I've used them for years... I'm no "expert" (or profess to be), just a veritable sponge when it comes to researching what others have done or ran into...

Sounds good but hard to visualize, like to see the pics...

I'm sure the TD has a different sound to it than the ricers you normally see with those 4" mufflers. Still, like they say ~ "Chrome don't get you home". Nice work on your rig, though... You really ought to think about resizing those pics, pain in the a$$ to look at...

You shouldn't need to trim flares with the 31's ~ plenty of Pathys came factory equipped with them...

Looks good, E98. Have you thought about spacers for the struts to level it up some ?

As Far As I Know... delicate enough ?

Aftermarket UCA's create no lift, they only correct your BJ angles to prevent wear & tear. All lift in the front is done with either torsion bar adjusting and/or reindexing. Try cranking them first, if they max out before your desired amount of lift is reached, they've sagged too much. You'll have to reindex them first then crank 'em up. There's threads about both here, look at the "pinned" topics in the "Garage" section or just do a search using those 2 words in it... :type: There's nothing to worry about AFAIK that cranking them up a couple of inches will mess with any of your stock parts. Higher than that & you run into the Bj thing, extra wear on your other steering components, etc. Take your time, make sure it's level, get it re-alligned to avoid tire wear, and enjoy... I want to go the whole 9 yards on mine at one time. Calmini SL and steering kit, 3" BL, Thorley headers, 33's with new wheels, etc. I've had mine since it was 2 years old & it's served me well all those years being bone stock. It wasn't until I started frequenting this and other Nissan boards that I realized just how much more capable it could be. I'm not working right now due to some "family" problems, so it'll just have to wait. Not going to empty several thousand out of my SEP-IRA so I can send "ooh & ahh" pics of my killer mods, ya know? -thnkboutit-

The problem isn't with the CV's, it's the BJ angles once you crank it up, which the spacers are supposed to fix. 88 ran into problems when, by using them, it tore the sh!t out of one of his stock UCA's. Whether or not this was an isolated case is up for debate... Yes, you're increasing the working angles of the CV's when lifting, but not enough to cause excessive wear or binding on them. You're limited in lift (2-2 1/2" or so) by the stock UCA's ability to keep correct geometry on the bj's. From the things I've read, the spacers are not the way to go to correct this once you get up in the 3" range. Save for new UCA's ~ you can use the Superlift ones for the H/B truck, and they run around $260 or so I think. I'm surprised 88 didn't chime in about the spacers, he wrote about it on every Nissan board that I go to, including this one...
