If you are not going to upgrade to headers... then just buy an oil filter relocation kit..makes life so much easier!

It took 25 minutes to change all 4 shocks last summer on my 4 door...then yesterday we did the JGC coils and Rancho shocks...that job took 1.5 hours as we had to cut the coils, and the driver side coil didn't wanna play nice. We had a spring compressor.... allow a day for any hiccups..my Pathy was nice....everything came paprt as desired. -bounce-

I tried to get Nissan to do my manifolds...with no luck. I finally just completed the job myself this week. Nissan were sympathetic..but said there never was an official recall on my '92 Pathy.... go figure.... lol

I just finished (yesterday) installing a brand new set of JGC coils and Rancho shocks on my Pathy.. I took the tire carrier off 2 weeks ago....gave the sagging torsion bars a little lift..n she is lookin awesome! I am soooo stoked. And lucky it didn't make my alignment any worse! YAHOOOOO!!!!

That looks salvageable?? no??? frame bent? Shame. glad yer daughter is ok though!! Congrats on the new Pathy!

Use the search engine for the headers... there are alot of write ups about them. I just installed the Thorley headers on my '92 4 door..and they are AWESOME!!! Good luck with Nissan!

I don't know if you have a manual or auto, but I just completed the job on my '92 5 speed Pathy. I am a complete Nissan novice.... It took about 2 weeks (few hrs a day..leave to buy parts..etc). I took the motor out completely, and there was no way I would have got the job done if I hadn't. One stud (out of the 3 broken) didn't want to come out 100%, (the other 2 were a REAL PITA) so we drilled it out to 3/8, and I put a 3/8 stud in there. I got the other studs from Nissan. I replaced all my belts, and h2o pump, clutch, cleaned the whole motor and added an oil filter relocation kit. I installed the Thorley headers. I gained 4-5mpg out of my job, as the rear main seal was leaking, and spewing oil all over my clutch...so it was slipping all the time. I did a lot of other things to my motor too.... I have lots of pictures if you need any. The idiot proof way I did my removal was to get a bunch of different colored sticky labels, and everything I disconnected, both ends got labelled, such as a rad hose..one end got a pink sticker, with say..X1, X2, X3 etc..and the end I took it from got the same sticker color and number. it was sooooo much eaier when it came time to put everything back together.... and I had no loose or unidentified wires or plugs. If you need pics..let me know... Good luck!!!!!!!

I modified mine by taking it off....but..maybe some paint... a different tire cover...cb antenna mount....maybe a different rear bumper to change the look of things??

-bounce- I would definitely ( I have just installed mine) recommend the Thorley headers... I paid $340 for mine from Summit Racing in January. Also... if you're going with the headers, of any kind, invest in the Perma Cool oil filter relocation kit..$48 @ Summit. I installed one on mine, and it is great. I would have died trying to get the oil filter off with the Thorleys in the way! I invested in the JGC coils, and some Rancho 5000's (p/n 5116) for mine..but, again, Idon't have a lift of any kind. I don't have a lift ....YET...so I can't help ya with the tire thing... but...good luck!! I want to see pics when you're done!!

I am not even listening to music at the moment..my Pathy sounds sooo gooood now..I just listen to the motor and new exhaust..LOL

I am in California, and I am one of the psycho's who just (I mean..drove the Pathy for the first time today inna month) did the manifold job. I have a 4 door 5 speed...and the bolts were a BIATCH. I had 3 broken studs....but the way she ran today..was worth the headaches! I have sweet Thorley headers on her..and lot's of new goodies. But it was a HUGE pain in teh a$$....if you have time... She runs a LOT better now..and is quiet and smooth...and it gave me a good excuse to get the Thorleys! ehhehe sssh sly

I retract my statement.. and am going to get back to my Jack n Coke...hehehe...my bad! sssh -alcohol-

-alcohol- I sure hope the back follows the front.....sorry..couldn't resist! Are you after manual lockers or air lockers? sssh I bought Superwinch manual lockers for $100.... they are sealed and we use them a lot..with never having seen one fail yet...

I am having a momentary brain fart...but it is the thingy that holds the coil plug from the distributor cap....starter coil.....mm...that's what I call it! LOL I'd post a pic..but it won't let me post a pic from my personal files...

HEHEHE.. I have a 92 Pathy with the VG30E.....c'mon over...I got the booze...pizza... :bow:

OMG. I know this has nothing to do with the actual issue..but my aunt lives in Morristown..and I was born in Passaic NJ...and they have a house on LBI too...hehehe ....sorry! Back to the subject. U R better off trying to do it yourself..really...you will pay twice as much for the labor, as the actual lift cost....

I have the Champion truck plugs...always used them with great results in all my trucks.....

Well..lemme see...in the actual cd player is GODSMACK (yeah baby!) and in the cd changer is ::: DISTURBED ASSORTED COUNTRY MIX I MADE BRAD PAISLEY TOBY KEITH ROCK OF THE 80'S MIX ASSORTED HIP HOP MIX Can't say I don't have a slightly mixed taste in music..... -bounce-

Wanna come over n make me one too??? Nice job!

:bow: Thanks guys! I left the ignition coil on the intake..so we blasted it with carb cleaner inside..and let it slip on out the way it went in....oh..gross..that didn't sound right did it??? Y'all get the idea! Thanks again! :cool2:

Wondering if it is "safe" to clean the inside of my intake plentum while I have it off my 92 Pathy (VG30E motor)...and if so..what is the best stuff to use? Will it hurt anything spraying carb cleaner in it and holding it so the cleaner runs directly back out? or does anyone know what else can be safely used?? -bounce-

-bounce- '92 Pathy with 128,000 later... I think I'm in!

Pathfinder Pathfinder Pathfinder.....hmmm..... nothin like a bit fo whoring onna Saturday night I guess..... or NOT.... -bounce-
