:bow: oh thank you guys thank you..keep the good advice coming! Yes maritime man...I have a great selection of "french" sssh so there will be no lack of good cuss words flying around...hehehe..thanks for the advice on the parts tray..I was going to take every bolt and put them in baggies and label them as to where they go, and we are going to video the entire operation, so we can look back to know how everything goes back..man! there's a LOT of stuff under there... Any ideas on the best plug wires? Yeah..I was looking at the Flowmaster 40 series..I think they're what I will be going with. God I hate smog!!! :X :oops: Keep the rgeat ideas coming! I could do with it! -bounce-

Thanks for the great advice guys! I really appreciate it! Yes...I do have broken bolts.... but I will be taking the motor out, as I also plan (besides the headers) to put 2 new cams in, water pump, O2 sensor, plug wires, Warn manual locking hubs, timing belt, oil pump, new clutch (complete kit), cat back system..speaking of..the type of sound I want to achieve would be as close to a low V-8 rumble as I can..I DO NOT want to sound like a ricer..lol. From the cat back will be flowmaster..I just don't know which one would sound best.... i had the delta 3 (cat..dunno what muffler..but it was a Flowmaster) on my S-10..sounded wicked good.... Aneeeehew.... my boyfriends brother is a good welder, we have 2 types of welder here, so he could do that for me... OMG..I am soooooo skeered! I have never really delved into a fuel injected motor (my S-10 never broke!)..... any "easy removal" tips? We will be videoing the removal..LMAO...so we know where everything goes back! LOL -bounce-

Oh cool. Yeah..I emailed Thorley... $629!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :X I must say..he emailed me back QUICK! but I know I can get them cheaper... I think I read where Maritime man got them for $450 @ Summit. SO.....no need fer the manifolds if I get the headers..I like the thought of saving the extra $250! thanks!! Any advice on what type of bolts to get? grade..size..type of metal..etc... This will be my first real "non- Jeep or Chevy" tear down..so ALL advice is GREATLY appreciated..I am venturing into the unknown ..LOL :bow: OH..BTW....my Pathy is 5 speed MANUAL.....just in case anyone else is curious...THANKS GUYS!

OK. I have experienced enough turmoil in my decision for headers, so I will ask the NPORA members what they think. Any pricing/purchase locations/ tried n tested results would be great! for my 92 Pathy 4 door 4 wd. I will be purchasing after market manifolds too -alcohol- p.s- I am in the great smogable state of California!!!! bear that in mind!

My 92 Pathy also pulls hard to the right... it fried my last set of tires in very weird ways (back driver tire bald in the center.. front passenger tire one little bald patch in the whole tire....) I just put new tires and rims..and am running out of ideas as to why the Pathy pulls to the right, and I don't want this set to get fried. I always check tire pressures, and keep them the same.....

Ok. So like..I totally found teh price (after Thorley emailed me back)..and..um..I'm thinking NOT!!!!!!!! $629!!!!!!!!!!! is someone at Thorley smoking crack? I really want Thorley's (as most Pathy drivers say tehy work best)..but for $629...I think not. Where can I get them cheaper?

Well, I thought I DIDN'T have LSD on my 92 4 door... because there was no tag on the diff..but when "pimping my ride" (I changed tires n rims)...we checked..and lo and behold...LSD! I am sooooooooooooooooooo pleased! :bow:

Ok. So, like (my valley girl impression) I am totally looking at Thorley headers, but dangsnabbit, they don't have a price posted! Anyone have any ideas of cost? -alcohol-

Whuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's $2.39 for 87, $2.49 for 89 (which I run in my Pathy ..she pinks and sucks gas if I use lower) and $2.50 for 91 octane...and that's THE CHEAP STUFF!! I've seen prices all teh way up to $2.87 for 91 yesterday! These prices are KILLING MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! :X

I am feeling really quite :oops: now.....LOWEST (87) is $2.29....(89) is $2.49 and 91 is $2.59 up to $2.89 we saw today! :X I hate the west coast!

If you don't mind spraying..I just took my "stockies" off and and now runnin some black (chrome painted over) 15x8's with 255/70/15's..gawd i'm loving it! I will sellmine cheap....r u in California? sssh

I had set up a link about this problem....I had no joy, but am still trying..but I think we'll just pull the motor and put new manifolds (aftermarket) and a bunch of other stuff..saves rippin the motor apart twice! With Nissan manifolds, the bolts WILL break again. Aftermarket manifolds are already modified..so this doesn't happen again, and for $110 a side..it's worth it to me! sly

That is a really good price! Hell... I got towed out by a Chevy (thank god!) with a pro-comp strap when I drowned my Jeep.....(driver error not Jeep!) I might have to go check those out! I have a good hook-up at our Oakland 4 wheel parts! sssh

Howerd Stern on AM all the way baby! :bow: p.s.- did I fail to mention I was KIDDING!?

ROLMAO. Don't worry, before I read my handbook...I thought the auto-lock button was for the 4wd too! -thnkboutit-

-bounce- I know this sounds far fetched..but check the back of your valve covers.....I couldn't figure out where mine was obviously leaking (it wasn't burning the oil)..and presto. There it was. It also got oil down onto my oil filter too..soooooo..just a suggestion! Good luck!

I am sooooooooooooooo glad my "long hair" t-shirt suggestion amused everyone. Remind me NEVER to write in a forum DRUNK ever again! LMAO. Yes, I will wear my hair up when wearing my NPORA tee with pride. I like the last posted tee...awesome work!! Count me in for some black tee's!

OMG! You guys really made my night! LMFAO @ the "long hair" version of shirts! As long as they promote the Pathfinder..lmao..I will support most anything (besides teh jab @ Jeepers thing). LOL. Best laugh I had alllllllllll night. I needed that! I really like the black t with the "find your own path" slogan though. Count me in! I know...seemingly being the only chick in NPORA..I can take the jokes n jibes..lol.

Yes..the white shirt looks WICKED AWESOME! I agree on the "one slogan" thing too.... "find your own Path" is PERFECT. I wish the black tee's could be cleaned up a bit..as I must admit..white lasts about 5 seconds with me..... But if I could get them in any color but white..count me in for 2 or 3! :bow:

Funny you should say that about the "come in limping" thing..ROLMAO... My BF is rather "accident prone", so I made sure I took the first aid kit to Pismo with us..... and guess who ended up.. Day 1 - got burnt on headers of rail Day 2 - got "attacked" by a 19" wide rim bouncing out of the sand and hitting me in the shin. Also ended up sunburnt and sore. Day 3 - Burned hand. I did a couple other things too..but those are the best right there. I am usually with Dave when he works on anything, so I am usually there when injuries occur. It's kind of like a lottery...depending on job being done, as to level of injury, if any. We've been pretty good lately when working on cars/trucks. I did however fry my ankle 2 weeks ago on the lid to the bar-b-q. Boy, did that one hurt, and I'm currently sporting a rather ugly, painful scab on my right ankle for a reminder.... "watch where you step when turnin ribs on bar-b-q's..ya never remember where ya set the lid down". (and don't drink and bar-b-q)

I REALLY like the pic of Mr Jims truck comin up off that jump..and the logo. That is great for shirts. Simple, but wicked good. Why y'all gotta be so mean..ya know..(ok..I know..I sold it 3 months ago) I have been a Jeeper for years, and they are VERY capable vehicles (I had a Wrangler Islander).... and I am feeling a little "butt-hurt" over the massive amounts of Jeep insults. It will make us look like little kids saying "mines bigger than yours", if we do the slogans against Jeeps. We want to tell EVERYONE Pathfinders are the BEST. Not just the Jeep crowd. Keep it classy and more people will be curious as to just how awesome Pathfinders really are. ok. I am done with my PMS for today. LOL Great shirt ideas though! p.s.- I really like the "find your own path" saying..it's short, to the point, and shows an independance of the vehicle to think "outside the box" :cool2:

Dusty...am I to take that as an "insult"? Did I ask such a truly stupid ? Or has that no regard to me what-so-ever? LOL Just wondering..... (as everyone knows...I am new to the Pathfinder (not new to Nissan) scene..and am learning as I go.... well...as I stated..I use 10w-40 and my Nissy runs great with it...I would like to run synthetic though..but wonder the consequences of this?

I use 10w 40..but it rarely egts close to freezing here..so 40 weight seems to work good. I was wondering however..if you can run straight weight inna Pathy? Just a thought sssh

Congrats! :cool2: That's the color I want to paint mine next year

I just sold a bunch of my Jeep stuff on ebay...did good. sold everything I bought a push bar from my bf's cousin for $20..and my bf's brother is going to make a bumper for me...cuz I have SEEN the prices of bumpers.....and I'm afraid I have NOT won the lottery yet..and I can't find too much on ebay..though there is stuff for your year.... :type:
