mws Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Planning to drive down and pick up Pathfinder #4 later this week! This one will be a '95 with engine trouble. Well, actually, I am kind of cheating as I kinda already sold #1 to my nephew's oldest, and this one will end up with my nephew's youngest, but SOMEBODY has to give Slick some kind of competition in the Pathy acquisition game!

mws Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 All run? Where's the fun in that? And what would the neighbors think? #4 is a supposedly cherry condition (mommy's pet) '95 up in Cameron Park with a questionable engine. We plan to throw a Japanese pull out engine in it and make it a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun, its a load of fun when you pull into the gas station Lots of fun when pulling into the Car Wash and watching the attendant The most fun is laughing at the co-workers and thier $900+ a month in car payments/leases.... They always complain about their payments, and the scheduled Maintenence $$$$$.... Its really fun when they ask me to give them a ride to pick up thier cars from the dealer.... I just come in with grit and grime under my nails occasionally complaining that Oliver hit me, or the daughter did not assist as agreed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Little blue has officially joined the family. What a deal! She is in unbelievably good condition and clearly lead a pampered life! I'll try to get photos up. Did I mention $1300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonianbrat Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 That is one fine looking truck. I hope to be adding # 2 to my collection within the next 6 months.. And MWS that truck there is exactly what I will be looking for. Have you found out what kind of engine problems there are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yup. A few hours digging yesterday revealed the keyways in the crank snout are hogged out, letting the cam pulley rotate back and forth a few degrees. Did not shear the keys yet, so should not be any engine damage! Now we're trying to decide whether to repair crank or just replace. Regardless, this is going to be a great deal... In the year prior to selling, the PO's: Replaced all 4 shocks, timing belt, water pump, tensioner pulley, v-belts, plugs, air filter, tires, tachometer, $2500 rebuild on A/T, etc etc etc. They report the only other problem other than the recent loss of power was the cruise control did not work.

Simon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Sounds like a good deal Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 We're certainly thinking so! Found a few more receipts... New alternator, starter, brakes on all 4 corners, thermostat, exhaust manifold studs. All parts appear to be Nissan OE. Being his wife's daily driver and child transporter in the city, the guy wanted everything working perfectly and done right! I sooooo love buying vehicles from people who cared.

Simon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I've found much of that with my new truck as well. Seems very well maintained. Though, with only 120,000kms, there probably wasn't much maintenance to be done. The only issue with it is that the tach doesn't work. Start the truck, and it jumps immediately up to 8K and stays there, till I shut it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 don't these have an electrical tach as opposed to the old style cable in the tranny? prolly a short in it somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah, I believe so. I glanced at the FSM for a few minutes on Friday, but didn't get into detail. Looks like it's fully electronic. I'm thinking I'll swap the cluster, and/or just the tach (if possible) from Old Red to see if it helps....then at least I know where to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Tachometers are all electrical. It's the speedo that's either/or. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
