[shortysmash]

i've looked but havent seen anything, but does anyone know if there is a rear disc brake conversion for the 01 pathy

[XPLORx4]

Yes, I know that there is NOT a rear disc brake conversion available.

They have discs??

[Pezzy]

I'm not 100% sure, I thought some of them do.

[XPLORx4]

R50 QX4's don't have rear discs, either.

[GhostPath]

WD21s could have rear disc brakes as an option.

 

Just sayin'....

i posted this topic less than a month ago to get info to convert my 02, and i was told that no one has done it and i would have to experiment. The only good info i got was that the 97 pathys had a disc brake option, and i would have to get a rear axle and see what i could come up with. I also thought that maybe an axle off of an exterra post 05 they are equiped with rear discs. Also maybe a maxima or somthin. GOOD LUCK

You mean 1995 Pathy. If you try to fit an '05 Xterra axle under your truck, be aware that there's virtually nothing that's compatible with the Pathfinder, so it would be a ton of very expensive custom work. Plus, the rear end isn't even a Nissan part, it's a Dana rear end, and they have gained a bad reputation for exploding because they use inexpensive parts that aren't strong enough.

lol you're making it too complicated. Find a rear disc thats about 10-11" across with a 6.5-5 and a center bore of 4" or bigger. Newer mitsubishi montero rear discs would probably work great for this. Then for the caliper, you need to find one with a lever mechanism for the parking brake. Some mid 80s caddys were like this. Then just get a custom caliper bracket built.
