  1. Both RedPath88 and MY1PATH repaired theirs by cutting in a new keyway 180 degrees off, IIRC. Both still work fine...
  2. Ouch! Yeah, not much you can do about that... I recommend buying or having a front bumper made for it. It won't help much at 60mph, but it can keep a 25mph fender bender from totaling the Pathy. The bumpers on these are really just for looks, covering gaps and holding lights. I've had both off, and you can lift them with 1 finger... We are a little light on the the diesel info, but enough Aussies and NZs have chimed in that there is some. I don't recall if there is a dedicated section, but definitely used advanced search and enter your motor designation (2.5l TD) or what ever. You should be directed appropriately... Definitely! I argue that these should be 60k mile interval maintenance items, mainly due to the abuse they receive. B
  3. Pretty much nothing, as far as I can tell. They did their 93-94 change ('upgrayedd'), left it alone and worked on the R50. One of the few things that floats to the surface of my febrile mind is that either the '94 or '95 rear LSD diff had the greatest break away force of any H233b. Can't recall the numbers but I know they are here, somewhere... Otherwise, good to go with all parts that I can think of. B '95 FTW
  4. I'm fairly certain those are the stock 'Lego' rims that came with the SE/LE trim vehicles in North America. Yeah, I'd be ripping that out on day two... Congrats on the replacement, make sure you hold on to this one. It looks mighty clean, so take care of it. B
  5. Agreed, for that price it should be pristine and probably lower mileage, BUT I don't know what the local market/availability is like either. They are dime-a-dozen out here, rust free. Going to have to make a call on it... B
  6. LOL I'm more interested in your photography than I am in the pathfinder... Congrats on your new vehicle. My take, as an owner of 2 WD21s and an R50 is: SELL IT! Just kidding... You have the strongest motor and 'updated' looks; as long as it is in decent shape with not too many miles, you'll be happy with this for a long time. Personally, I'd lift it 2" via springs or spacers, or what ever combination you prefer (new AM springs/struts/shocks are a given though) and run 31"ish tires unless you are shooting for snow plow or snow shoes. IIRC 15" rims don't fit on the 2001+ due to caliper clearance (some grinding required) but that all comes down to back spacing as well. With just the stock rims (after the lift), I'd go with something equivalent to 31-32" diameter, 9-11" wide, depending on taste and availability. From there, I'd check out some under armor... Fleurys, a member here makes some, as well as 4x4parts IIRC. All this info is out there, just thought I'd give you a start. Good luck, enjoy, and welcome to NPORA! B OH, make sure to cover the POR15, it breaks down under UV IIRC.
  7. Good info above, especially about checking the terminals and ground contact, and the electrical nature of the problem. Do you see any corrosion on any of the contacts, fuses, relays under the hood or in the cab? Have you checked the wires for the alternator, both contact and wire integrity? B
  8. This information is correct, about mid 1993* there was another hated, random Nissan change. *there have been exceptions Best bet is to loosen one of the top timing belt covers and have a peek. It can be done without harming anything if you are patient and have a tool or two. I believe the LH (US drivers) side is the easier, and flashlight/mirror is highly advised. As for the best place for Canadian parts, 5 miles from the US border or talk to Rob Lacy (Alkorahil) at the dealership in Texas (yes, Texas). He'll ship you everything you need at the best prices available. (contact info in the Classifieds section) B
  9. Howdy Toast! Wow, you have one of the first year models with a 2.4? That is a fairly rare bird, and I bet it can't get out of it's own way... I had the Z24 in a 1984 D720 king cab 4x4. Best vehicle I ever owned and that motor never let me down. I'm up in the North Bay, Santa Rosa exactly...

    Birfdays!

    Today's birthdays Pezzy (41) sammyb33 (28) thepezzy (9) dryart (64) dedman (26) I wanted to wish Happy Birthday to everyone born today, especially thepezzy! We all remember how special birthdays are when you are a child in that magical age, so I wanted to make this one special for you. Here is a bag of Cheetos, I've been collecting them from around the beanbag for you for weeks now... B
  11. Aww! He is giving you a courtesy mauling... He loves you! Sorry to hear about the Pathy, but it happens. Don't be a stranger, and picts of Danger are always welcome. (He's pretty much a salt and pepper version on my orange tabby) B
  12. Wash, Yeah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpN3AX3i8qg B
  13. Train Station (I don't think so, not in this area. I worked at some of the last ones 25 years ago...) B
  14. Again, you are welcome. Everything still working good? B
  15. Heart Beat LOL Word Association x 2, we are moving up! B
  16. You are welcome. Our throttle used to be sticky shut, usually cold weather, and once I cleaned the throttle plate it basically went away. Something to consider... B
  17. Might want to put this in the Regional Areas section as well. Otherwise, have fun! B
  18. Sorry Bud, too far away, and you'd have to come to me, not the other way around. Have you posted this in the Regional Areas section? You might get more bites... B
  19. Ok, time to wrap this up (I finally remembered when it wasn't raining). The gap on the throttle stop (when cold) was somewhere between .044-.048" (1.1-1.2mm). It was a little hard to tell exactly, because I had to double up feeler gauges and there isn't much room to work. I don't know what you mean by throttle opener, but this is what my set up looks like. I can take any other pictures or measurements that you might need, but I think this should put you in the right proximity... B
