Simon Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Simon, How's yours coming? It's still in the truck, housing painted black, 2 sided 3M taped to the dash. It's wired up though! I'm going to be doing it differently.....I just need time. I'm moving at the end of March, which, should signify me getting my life back after 3-4 months of renovations. I'll post up some pics once I have finished, no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Ok I installed the one Tex (TerranoNZ) sent me tonight, not a whole lot to add to the install notes, but there are a couple things I noticed. 1: The wiring on the one I got from NZ was color coded exactly the same as the light for the glove box. So I simply spliced into the leads for it. Added bonus about using them is that they run directly below (attached to the bottom of the dash pad) the Clino's mounting location, so they are very easy to get too 2: The "nuts" as Nissan calls them (Part #68191-51E0A, See pics below) are available from the dealer. Or alternately you could save yourself some money and just get some from a wrecking yard. They are used throughout the trucks and are the exact same ones used to secure the center instrument panel, to the dash Huge thanks to Tex for finding and sending me the Clino (and one for my yota) And some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkorahil Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I pull mine out and stare at it from time to time thinking of ways to mount it on my '95. I have messed with it a lot, its possible but will take time to sculpt a sloped base for it. I am to lazy. But at least I have one and YOU dont!

Manifesto Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) LOL Redpath xD well if you're mounting it where I mounted my CB you're right, the vinyl dash definitely won't hold it I drilled deep with some 3x 3" coarse thread self-tapping screws straight through the vents at random angles and they're holding pretty solid XD that's if you don't mind putting a bunch of holes in your truck ALSO, if you can pull your vent covers out, you'll be able to put the wires through ALOT cleaner than I did via another hole in the top dash under or behind the unit... my vent cover kept cracking every time I touched it so I left it alone.... as for power soruce, headlight dimmer WOULD be the best, but I just spliced into my cigarette lighter Edited July 9, 2010 by Manifesto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Now y'all got me searching ebay for one of these I got to have one now! I had a toyota tercel that had one of these. I should have never gotten rid of that car. I have my wife to thank for convincing me to sell it to a friend that needed a car. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrano757 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 xD a tercel with a 4x4 instrument cluster? XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 yea man, I've seen those little 4x4 tercels go... there's no stopping them!!! They're so light they just cruise over everything XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Yes the tercel was a 5 speed with 4 wheel drive. Normally the front wheels would pull. When you pulled the 4 wheel lever the rear would pull also. When it was in 4 wheel drive it had an extra low gear you could use too. I drove it through a big mud hole with regular street tires on it. the front would lock too, when it was in 4x4 it was very hard to turn on dry ground. I drove it through a ditch once, I came out the ditch at a 45* angle and the front tire was 4 feet in the air before it finally came down and lifted the rear. It didn't have a whole lot of flex! I could still kick my wife in the ass for convincing me to sell it! But then I would never have bought a pathfinder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James bug some of our overseas members as well, they might have some lineups one them as well, might get lucky. I think I'd rather flip the Tercel on purpose...

Precise1 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The base plate will only work on RHD as far as I can tell. It's not symmetrical Hmm... Minor detail... *looks at clino* *looks at dash* *growls* B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowser Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Sure would be nice if someone on here knew someone with one of these to make a reverse copy of one from a RHD. 3D Copier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Sure would be nice if someone on here knew someone with one of these to make a reverse copy of one from a RHD. 3D Copier It would just take someone that knows autocad, or another drawing program, to draw it in 3D and then just reverse the image and send it to some cam software and burn Gcode for a CNC mill. I would try but I haven't learned to draw in 3D yet. I'm sure there are some artist on this board though.

Precise1 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 The mount is just a sheet metal bracket with different length legs on each side, the twist is that the plastic, cosmetic bottom tray has a taper to it also to this is not so easily modified. I'll be working it out, but I have far more pressing things to deal with first... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowser Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Just thought I would Update this for you Precise. Here's Precise's Solution. He likes to make these for free to every Nissan Pathfinder owner world wide and sometimes pays you to take one of them. Hows that for a URL link.
