vagabond Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 did the rear brakes on the 88, and replaced two wheel studs on the rear of the 94. It took longer to do the studs then the brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_pathfinder Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Went outside to get some stuff from the truck, and noticed that the snow melted off of the hood only where the hood supports weren't. Weirdest looking thing ever lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiBumBrian Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Washed it too, torrential downpour all day. Love the LSD though, cant spin the tires no matter what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Cleaned the front of the engine of all the oil and grease and gunk after the years. Finished painting the timing covers, gave one more coat to the brake booster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdj Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Made a charcoal finger drawing by rubbing my fingers on the inside of my very charred tailpipe Was it a Buffalo? Was it inside a cave? Did the cavemen own a Pathfinder that was running rich for some reason and create art?

Slartibartfast Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 These ancient people had advanced petrochemical technologies... but had not yet mastered stoichiometry. Actually, mine's the same way. I keep meaning to give the coolant temp sensor a proper check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_pathfinder Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Not running rich, missing like a mofo! Just don't know what cylinder... OBD1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Pull plug wires off the distributor one at a time until you find one that doesn't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Pulled the camshaft and crankshaft seals... 350k km on engine and I think they were original, rubber had turned into hard plastic consistency and it took me 2 hours and much cursing with all the right tools to get the 3 seals out. I've done this job a few times before on my other rigs and never had any issues, but this one I will remember. Good thing this new trucks body and frame are so mint cause that engine was seriously neglected! I am bringing it back up to snuff though... the leaks in the brake system and the front of the engine are just about fixed.

Oh I know, just not doing it right now because my cat is already destroyed, and I actually am in fact running rich, as per the ECU. O2 is probably stuck and needs to be replaced because Mode 1 showed no problems, but Mode 2 was showing >5% rich. Will find out the week of Christmas when I have time off from school. Until then, stumble stumble burn burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnl Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Took off the old rubber hoses from the snorkel... but couldn't put the new one in, it's too tight. Tomorrow I will take the fender out to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Today I: Finished installing and torquing my bell housing bolts. Got the last two bolts in the transmission cross member. Installed my starter. Didn't get to hook up the electrical yet though. Also drained the rad to replace both hoses. Started filling it back up, and realized I have a hole in my rad, pissing all over the inside of my engine bay. The guy letting me use his shop said he can solder it shut, but I dunno. Either way I have to pull it.Also noticed some oil leaks that I need to chase down. It really was one of those days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Replaced the front cam and crank seals. Installed a new waterpump. Pulled the thermostat housing and coolant sensor housings to clean and paint. Just about ready to reinstall the timing! Stoked to get this truck on the road for winter.

xterra Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Got new a new exhaust installed - everything behind the cat. I had them re-route the tailpipe so it's going straight out the back instead of the side - and put on a chrome finisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ground down, sanded and painted a bunch more parts that I pulled to do the timing belt (balance tube, thermostat housing, etc). Then I rolled and pulled the fenders on my 240sx... hopefully no more rubbing when my hatch is loaded full of tools for work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 240's with rolled fenders... haha. Well at least now it shouldn't rub ! I'm running 2" fender flares on it and the wheels just poke out the slightest bit. Maybe 1/4" so it's pretty wide now eith the new wheel setup!

Nefarious Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Have you ever tried electrolitic rust removale.?no I have not! Never even heard of it.. is it some kind of spray or solvent, or is it an actual machine/process? I like to restore pretty much any piece that I pull for repairs so maybe I'll look into that. If it's easier than a nylon flapper wheel then I will be a happy man! Lol edit: oh man... just googled it... i am definitely going to try that next time! Looks very easy to setup your own rig at home for said electrolytic rust removal. Looks almost too easy! Thanks for the tip !
