Destro Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I have a 2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe and I bought a 87 pathfinder a few months ago. I barely ever drive the G35 anymore. I love the Pathfinder, just so fun to drive. I think from now on I will always have an SUV, hopefully another "classic" Pathfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msavides Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Which is not articulation. Articulation is the flex in the suspension. Ok I concede, Great thing about being on a forum. you don't have to face everyone when you say something stupid. all though not articulation related, last I checked lockers and SAS (articulation related) was not an option (without incredible pain) on an R50. I Have not crawled underneath a R50 yet so I don't know for sure what exactly is an option or not. Just going by what I read.

Simon Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 HA...I WIN!!! Just kidding man. Lockers are an option, however, only ARB air lockers. There are no mechanical lockers. A SAS is an option, however, there are no kits, and it hasn't been "figured out" yet. The issue is the rack and pinion steering. IT's not a stopping point, but it's a major hurdle.

Just remember when all is done. the point I was making is that the R50 is just as capable. I just like my WD21 better. (mainly cause I don't own a r50) I would never SAS Mine. If I wanted SAS I would by a hummer (H1 ofcourse the newer ones are crap) Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always try if i can to have another pathy, even if it stretches my wallet. Just the good times associated with them is enough for me to buy another one.

If I had the money, and a different vehicle to drive daily, I'd be all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might agree to the SAS But I would have to test drive one to see how it feels. I like the way mine feels suspension wise. I fear that SAS would totally change the way it steers and the way it corners. I have a daily driver, so that is not my worry. I just think at that point that it would no longer be a pathfinder in my eyes. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I can agree with that to some extent. It'd be sweet to have a Patrol front axle under there, and at least, keep it all Nissan. It'd handle differently, and drive differently, but if it was just a wheeling rig, I'd do it for sure, money allowing, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 R50 solid axle swap! Sound like a project for Xtreme 4X4 on spike. Get to writing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I would have to get rid of my rear springs. However mine were never actually installed on a jeep.. So they are just new springs. does not matter what they were made for , They just happen to fit. Imagine that. Besides what would I call it A pathjeep or a pathota.. No way!

adamzan Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 We should have a poll on who thinks who loves their pathy the most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I had an 88 pathy and I sold it a year ago That was not the smartest thing for me to do I wish I had it back, luckily one of my best friends bought it so it is never far away. I have now an 03 pathy when I bought it I was actually looking for a truck, but walking through the Nissan dealership I noticed this little white vixen just sitting there tempting me. needless to say I could not resist her so I drove her home later that day. I will always have a pathfinder I am actually looking at getting another 88 they are so damn fun, My R50 can go anywhere that my wd21 went. I would just like to get another wd21. I have actually owned 4 patrols all ranging from 1964- 1969 Now that is a Nissan I wish I really wish I had never gotten rid of oh to be young and stupid it was also my first car.
