Slartibartfast Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Got it back from the mechanic. He couldn't find anything wrong with it, and it drives fine in 4x or 2x. Maybe it was just a hub issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikestewart395 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Received my ECU in the mail this morning. So excited. My poor Pathy has been down for a couple of weeks after I took it swimming. Diagnostics shows the ECU as being the only problem, hopefully it will work. Going to drive to where it is sitting, an hour from my house. Keeping my fingers crossed. I miss driving my rust bucket.

travisg Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I don't remember if it was this thread or not but I read about someone removing the fender flares the black pieces. I was wondering what the advantage of doing this is. Like I said though IDR if it was this thread or not or if they were putting different flares on. just curious.

travisg Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 found the info i was looking for right here http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/35241-factory-fender-flares/?hl=%2Bfender+%2Bflare My three cents: 1) 94-95 flares/flaps are different from 93 on back as mentioned already. 2) 94-95 flares/flaps are not as trail friendly as mentioned already, the flaps do not flex causing clips and screws to pop or worse damaging your fender. 3) Hardbody rear flares will not fit a pathfinder. They are shaped differently. 4) WD21 Pathfinder flares and flaps were sold as accessories, they are NLA from Nissan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My rear wiper works only here and there. The fluid never has even though the pump does, I can't find where it's clogged either. Oh well I have bigger problems to fix first LOL.. Just blow some compressed air through the tube with it detached on the rear. We just did the same on my girlfriends pathy, works great now.

adamzan Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Unless it is leaking into the cab somewhere like my old rig did. That was a pita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travisg Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 i found the EGR valve and can't get it off the bolts are rusted pretty good, need to get a bottle of penetrating oil and a small piece of vacuum hose as there's a hole in the piece from the EGR valve EGRC-BPT valve. and it's dirty as all get out so i'll be cleaning it. but i need a socket and ratchet to get at it.

Nefarious Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Use an MPS gas torch for the egr. Works every time, even for the large 24mm flare nut that holds it to the tubing. So today I think I finally solved a way to run the vg33e upper manifold and throttle body in my wd21 (to complement the vg33 swap). I'll start a build thread with pics once I get a little further with the swap. So far so good, though! Edited March 6, 2014 by Nefarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisg Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Use an MPS gas torch for the egr. Works every time, even for the large 24mm flare nut that holds it to the tubing. they're all pretty rusted. i'll have to get in there and do some work. but i'm sure that'll clear up my EGR check engine code. then i'll get the o2 sensor replaced and that should clean up the o2 code.

Nefarious Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 They are always super rusted. Lol. Mps gas at most auto stores is only about 10$ and fits on a standard propane torch head. It's a life saver for parts like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what the advantage of doing this is. Like I said though IDR if it was this thread or not or if they were putting different flares on. just curious. I had my rear flares off for a while (didn't get around to putting them back on after doing the fuel tank) and didn't notice much difference. A friend of mine drove behind me on a wet day and said my rear tires were throwing all kinds of crap at his windshield, though. I bolted them back on. There's probably a better solution for the flaps but I haven't busted one off yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffmcgruff Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yesterday I cleaned the air filter, MAF sensor and throttle body. It can breathe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaBigPerm Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The other day - front brake rotors, calipers, pads, and 4 corner bleed, along with auto 4wd hub clean, repack (grease was slightly milky from water contamination sometime over the last 21 years, but metal bits were pristine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 In the process of completely dismantling and cleaning/rebuilding/polishing an r50 vg33 intake manifold/throttle body/IACV and getting it all ready to swap into my vg33 1993 pathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikestewart395 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I finally installed my EBay-New ECU. Started right up after 3 weeks down. Pathy didn't like the swim I gave it. Started right up, then wouldn't go into gear. I had to start it in gear over and over to break the clutch or whatever loose. All the way home it was stuttering and running rough. When I got home an hour later I noticed the idle was at 600. My Pathy doesn't fare well below 1k rpm. So I reset the timing and raced off to work. Ran great, but a little hard to start. It turns over for about 5 seconds before it catches now. And sweet baby Jesus, the windows were closed the whole time it sat!!!Full of that yummy Florida swamp water. The smell......It will be me, a water hose, and some Dawn early in the morning. But my Pathy is back home, that makes meh happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably a better solution for the flaps but I haven't busted one off yet. I will post pics but I took my flares off. I had bigger beefier flares. Looked cool, but I took them off in the garage one day to clean the line off the fender(bored) and the Pathy looked meaner. I am also a mudder, so they were hindering muh mud baths. So they do a great job keeping things inside the fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisg Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 i got it off and the hose changed, man it runs better now. i'm glad i was able to get at it. i didn't even Need to take off the EGR valve just the EGRC-BPT and one other vacuum line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
