Welcome to the boards! Tell me, what is this "eBay" of which you speak? :confused:

And in the Pathy. As you can see the punch-out is there, no sense in tooling & molding for essentially the same rig with slight differences. Of course you'd have to swap out the tube it runs in, and all the appropriate brackets & doohickeys, too... Hmmm, looks like it's time for some new pedal pads, too... :secret:

Here's a pic of the HB's handbrake:

Figured it was the same deal, but mine's an MT...

I think it delays the shift points on your auto tranny so you can pass easier, etc. I've got the same thing on my '91 Supra. Allows you to run higher revs between gears...

Did you notice that there's a little grease-gun logo at the joints? Evidently they're supposed to be lubed at some interval or another. Might prevent future failures... -thnkboutit- I'm sure they're a piece-of-cake to get to and stick lithium grease or something in, too. Dang ol' engineers ~ makes as much sense as the "yellow doohickey" holding our door handles together...

Good idea, mzxtreme! Kind of like the game "Mousetrap", right? I love Rube Goldberg-type fixes, truly man's greatest triumph is the satisfaction of jury-rigging some contraption that actually does what you intended it to do. Maybe not the right way, but it's my way, dammit! Now, where'd that cat go?

By all rights, you'd think you could bolt your existing power equipment in. I wouldn't think that they'd go to the added expense of different tooling, etc. for power versus manual. There might be differences in brackets spot welded in there for the motor, etc., I really don't know. The window tracks and regulators might be different as well. Do a side-by-side comparison & let us know what you find...

Sounds like an interesting concept. Some "Paint" quickies would give us a better idea as to what you've got going there. I can kind of see it in my head, but some sketches would be nice. No reason to me why it wouldn't work. But if it doesn't, it might head you in the right direction to something that does. remind me to call Patent Office... :secret:

In the interest of fairness I offer the following from a "Leading Consumer Testing Institution": Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 "Our tested Z71 Silverado had a stiff, choppy ride ~ other trimlines ride slightly better. Braking is adequate, and fit & finish is unimpressive. The powertrain isn't as smooth as competing models from Toyota or Nissan. The Silverado's significant assets are a selectable, full-time, four-wheel-drive system and a generous load capacity. The Quadrasteer four-wheel-steering system is a costly option that eases maneuverability in tight places." Dodge Ram 1500 "The overly hyped 5.7 liter Hemi V8 makes the Ram fairly quick but also very thirsty, averaging a paltry 11mpg. The 4.7 liter V8 and automatic transmission make a reasonably smooth combination. The pronounced exaust note sounds good to some. The Ram falls short of competing trucks, with a jittery ride, cumbersome handling, and a tight rear seat in the crew-cab. Braking performance was only adequate, with long stops. The view over the towering hood impeded visibility for short drivers. The cargo bed in the crew-cab version is longer than in competing models." Ford F-150 "The F-150 rides more comfortably, handles more nimbly, and has a quieter, better-trimmed interior than the previous version. New features include moveable overhead storage bins, a spring-assisted tailgate, and a power-opening rear-window center panel. The four-wheel-drive system is part-time only. The powertrain is not as smooth as that in the Toyota Tundra, but it delivered reasonable acceleration and fuel economy (14mpg). Braking performannce was just adequate, with long stops in our tests. First year reliability of the 4WD version is below average. The 2WD version is average." Honda Ridgeline "The Ridgeline, Honda's first pickup truck, is a crew-cab body-style based on the Honda Pilot. It's unibody contruction includes a five-foot-long cargo bed that's made from a composite material and has no wheel arch intrusion. The rear seats flip up to create storage space. Below the cargo bed is a trunk that is weather-tight and lockable. The tailgate can open two ways: down & sideways. Towing is rated at 5,000 lbs. The all-wheel-drive system is permanent and lacks a low range. Stability control is standard." Nissan Titan "The Titan is Nissan's first entry into the full-sized truck category and it more than holds it's own against the competition. It has an impressively large cabin, is reletively agile, and has a fairly comfortable ride and a very smooth transmission. Safety features include optional electronic stability control (ESC) and head-protection airbags. The crew-cab's cargo bed is fairly small compared to the competition, and payload is a meager 1,105 lbs. The Titan's muscular V8 provides strong acceleration, but the constant engine & exaust noise can become tiresome." Toyota Tundra "Currently our top-rated full-sized pickup, the Tundra's Lexus derived V8 is smooth and quiet. 2005 brings a larger and more powerful V8 and a new 4.0 liter V6. The ride is civilized, the cabin is quiet and roomy in the crew-cab, and fit & finish is top-notch. The power-retractable rear window is a nice touch. The crew-cab has one of the longer beds in it's class. Four-wheel-drive versions perform well off-road. The extended-cab model has a cramped rear seat. Good offset-crash results are a considerable plus. Electronic stability control is available." These are verbatim quotes, with no changes or personal views thrown in by me. In case you don't like 'em ~ too bad... :X

E98, that thing's way too clean! Hurtin' my eyes... 31's lookin' good, did you go with the BFG AT's then, or something else?

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...
