One simple thing I forgot to add...If your LSD is working, you should be able to jack up the rear end of your truck, spin one tire, and the opposite tire should spin the opposite way. If this doesn't happen, you have a problem. Another thing to consider is the fact that LSD's wear out after time, so if you think yours isn't working well, you may want to get a new one.

I think the factory LSD's from Nissan come pretty loosely set, so it takes a bit of wheel spin from one tire for it to engage and give power to the other tire. As for one tire in the air, that tire without traction should be the first one to spin, and if the LSD is working the other tire will start spinning after the first tire has spun a certain amount. I've found that when I lose traction in the rear, it works well when I give it a little gas so one of the rear tires spins a decent amount, then the LSD engages the other tire so I let off the gas and gain some traction.

Actually, that isn't my car, its another Pathfinder I found on cardomain. I just wasn't sure what halo gauges were, but they kind of looked like white faced gauges, so I wanted to see if that was what you were talking about. But there are a few places that sell white face gauges for pathfinders, can't think of them off the top of my head right now though. Here is the link to that guys cardomain page if you want to ask him: clicky clicky

that turn to this...

Wait, are those kind of like these...

what is the estimated pricing for these things? BTW, those are some sweet offroading pics

The guy prototyping it over on AC's board, Martin, hasn't said anything about it for a while. Actually, he's more concerned about adding his supercharger right now, so we'll see

Whatcha got planned?

yeah, the 96-99 have the plastic thingy up there also. I can take some pics of the underside of mine if you want, you can see if it will work

only 2000 and up? Think they would fit a 96-99?

here is a direct quote from someone selling some Titan rims a while back: "Will not fit a normal Nissan" So I don't think they would fit the pathy

On my 97, I did not retain anything from the original drive flange. I just slid the snap ring back on and then put the manual hub on. However, I'm not sure if the front hubs from your year are different enough to require different installation. Hope this helps

From what I've heard, Nissan tends to wire all cars the same way, they just don't include certain accessories on all of the models. For example, another guy decided to add power seats to his XE and found that the wiring was already there under the seat, he just had to hook it up. So I assume that you could do it, but you should probably investigate some more. However, the climate control is not all that great. I almost never use it, just because it doesn't work very well, I can do better manually. It almost always blows at full blast, and unless you turn it all the way to the coldest setting, it gives you warm air. Just my experience

Yeah, a haynes manual is infinitely helpful. Unfortunately, I did not do my struts, only the shocks. I don't have a spring compressor, so I decided to let pep boys handle it. I ended up getting it done for about 70 bucks, because someone screwed up and told me the wrong low price, so I held them to it But looking at the front struts, my guess is that it is an all day procedure, not for the non-mechanical type either

A lift kit would probably be a good idea before the bull bar. You would save some money that could be put towards something else, and it would definitely add capability to your truck. I'm assuming you plan to add a winch to the bumper when you decide to get it? cant go wrong there, but generally, most people would get a lift and some tires before something like a winch, and go from there to determine what is needed in terms of off road capability

I put 35 psi in mine and it seems to be a good all around pressure, helps out the mpg a bit. As for the E-AT button, someone asked this question here before, but I forgot the answer (seeing how it doesn't really apply to my pathy). I'll try to dig it up

finally, another Colorado man! Though I'm all for fixing up the pathy, I can't say the Titan would be a bad choice either, not at all

so, even though

Well, sort of. That is a great price, but one of the main things I want when I upgrade my intake is a straight mid pipe. that is one of the advantages of the weapon-r and K&N FIPK. Thanks for the link though, I'll have to think about it

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that the bull bar from the 96-99's wouldn't fit your year. The front end designs are different, and I'd bet that the mounting bolt holes would be just different enough to make it not work. But you've got to admit, the bull bar for the 99.5+ looks awesome, I like it better than the one that would fit my pathy. Too bad its so pricey

First of all, that website you found for the weapon-r stuff is overpriced, by far. And as for the bumper mod, I know about it, and I did a similar thing, just without the full intake. And the aeroturbine exhausts have garnered a good deal of controversy about whether or not they actually work. And why would you install 2 of them? Just have the muffler shop weld the two inlet pipes into one and get the 2.5" application. The only reservations I have about the weapor-r is the foam filter part. I'm still not totally convinced that it filters as well as K&N or others of that type

I found this cool, steep dirt hill once, and decided to through it into 4lo for the first time. Well, that feeling of low gearing torque and being so slanted that I was staring at the sky really did it for me. I still love it everytime I put it into 4lo, I'm sure you all can relate

Alternating between Soundgarden "superunknown" and Hendrix greatest hits right now.

well thats good to know, I have a few orders planned in the near future

I've been looking around at intakes, and the K&N FIPK seems like a good choice. However, they don't make a specific application for the R50's. But the Xterra engine is almost identical, so I'm wondering it it will just fit. Check out the attachment, I don't see much of a difference compared to our 3.3's. Any thoughts?
