Slashjt Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 woah that was cheap... I paid like USD$380 for mine (custom made and installed). It was cheaper than getting a pair outside my country because of the shipping. The result was very good though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyFresh Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 My mailbox says I have a package waiting to pick up after work, so hopefully that's my BL and steering upgrade. I could be in for a busy weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDirtyFresh Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 So it looks like my centerlink is toast, how busy are the boys at grassroots4x4 these days? Might as well do this once the right time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowser Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I think he usually ships within 24 hours. When I bought mine, I sent him an email the next day just asking how long of a wait it would be so I could handle some scheduling issues to which he replied, "Already sent." It arrived at its destination a couple days later. I didn't personally pick it up from where i sent it for about 4 months, but when I finally got it, the welds were good, everything was made well.

teixeira Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Looking forward to see the result. Why did you bought this kit? price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyFresh Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well, I ordered a new centerlink from Uap Napa, which I'll run while I send my worn core to Grassroots for a proper setup. As far as why I bought this kit, I know I'm going to be fitting a suspension lift at some point along with bigger tires so I figured I'd try to knock out as many of the "weaknesses" before I got too far and had to constantly replace worn / broken parts. I think I ended up paying $243.40USD for the body lift and the steering stabilizer with the idler arm brace. Mind you that's before shipping!

BonnerBB Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hoohaa Center with the Idler arm brace makes for a TOUGH setup... You will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Oh, OK. Just that the idler arm brace looks weaker than Calmini's (also the price), but if it's the same... but I see that Calmini's give some problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDirtyFresh Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I just got my rig back from being freshly inspected, new idler arm brace on and steering stabilizer good to go as well! This weekend I'll get time to rig up the msd unit and the k&n apollo I picked up as well. What a nightmare it was to find e-brake cables for this thing!! I ended up having to get them directly from Nissan at $120 / side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 $240 for e brake cables?? WTF!!!! That is INSANE!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Wow, I though here (Portugal) or Europe was expensive... and not everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyFresh Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Ahh yeah I was super pleased about that part, $230ish for a centerlink, plus the ebrake cables I was a really happy camper. Anyone know off hand what size the maf is on these things so I can find a proper adapter plate for my new intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Yep. Here... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=27313&view=findpost&p=508166 B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DN1CK Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 $240 for e brake cables?? WTF!!!! That is INSANE!! B At that point $10 chock block or a peice of wood sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) I'm considering to have a local shop custom fab a new exhaust setup for me. Thorley + muffler + shipping + duties will go much higher than US$ 1000. Is it neccessary to change the header ? Won't just less restrictive tubes and muffler give my Pathy a bit more power ?

87pathy Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 1000 is way to much, I had a custome Y pipe and all new exahust custom made for rig (expet manifolds) new cat, new muffler.. 650 out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but Brazilian duties will take about US$ 400... It's really cheaper to custom build it in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 i understand that.. that was ALL custom, no bolt on parts. 1000 for an exhaust system is silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDirtyFresh Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 About time for an update!! Since my last post I've: Installed a quest alternator! thanks for the write ups! installed the msd! once again thanks! had my mechanic install the new centerlink / steering stabilizer / idler arm brace. What I have left to do for this batch of mods is: Install body lift and headers / exhaust system. My mod money got a little set back when I had to pay to get my car out of impound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 If your looking to save cash, you could do what I did with a CAI (and I couldn't have been happier with the setup) Autozone/Oreillys (or whatever they have in CA) sell a small plastic adapter plate for air intakes, that costs like 5 USD....i had to taper out the holes a little to get it to line up, but then a cone filter just bolts on...I noticed 2-3mpg gains and what felt like a peppier throttle.
