"rock auto 12 bones plus shipping" bout 30 to 45mins worth of work depending on the tools you have. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialWarr Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I replaced the coolant temperature sensor.... took 15 minutes. Reset the two codes 14 and 33. And then decided that I am moving on to apple turnovers....a box of four... and a film for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNAM Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Decided to start in on a rear bumper. Removed the factory bumper cover. And support brackets which will for sure eliminate some rear wheel rub at flex. Still have some trimming and hammering to do on the body. Plan on getting rid of the factory bolt on hitch receiver and incorporating a new one higher and tighter to the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig1902 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ripped the rear weather shields off and sanded the (surface) rust off, hit it with wax and grease remover and will undercoat it later today when its cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xterra Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Made a pilgrimage to the parts store junk yard. Didn't find what i was looking for, but I did manage to get a good pair of headlight lenses and a sunroof for my spares collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Did some work on removing my old busted turbo, played "find the broken EGT probe." Still have to fit the new turbo and re-install the intercooler.Also took the time whilst everything was easy to access to remove the EGR and fit blanking plates.

Slartibartfast Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hit around the edge of the door with my fist to break the ice so I could open it. Also discovered that the little sliding nuts in the roof rack bars have plastic springy bits underneath them, and that if you thread in a stud and thump it to break the ice, the springy bits go all to pieces. Oh well, at least I didn't snap the door handle this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamba Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Today i was sooo lucky I met one previous owner and he told me who has my missing wheel carrier. I called him and he promised it to me free. Now i just have to pick it up some day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manik Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Starting to go back together with the beast. And installing a Hayden oil filter relocation kit. Bubba..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stovanovich Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Some pics of the Turbo removal / change thus far: Turns out the EGT probe end that had snapped off was jammed in-between the blades so actually hadn't broken them. Still worth changing over the turbo though methinks (considering I have a spare one here now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flnl Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Did the headlights mod - halfway, just inside engine bay, it still uses the original wiring to the headlights switch, but just to turn on the relays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 damned near ran off the road when my radio decided to temporarily work while I was driving this morning. My son had turned the volume knob up quite high trying to get it to work last time he drove it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 damned near ran off the road when my radio decided to temporarily work while I was driving this morning. My son had turned the volume knob up quite high trying to get it to work last time he drove it. My front speakers kick in about once a month to scare the crap out of me. My old Pathfinder ('98) only went to volume 11 the new one ('03) goes to 31. That'll wake you up in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 10 Degrees F. this morning and I managed to spin mud up to the roof line. Gotta like a four wheel drive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Just got the front of the engine back together. Just need to torque the crank bolt and put the belts/fan/rad/rad hose on! Then the restored brake booster and rebuilt brake master cylinder go in and she is done! Can't wait to get this truck on the road for winter...

Nefarious Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Technically December 21st is the first day of winter. Still haven't had any snow where I'm at, although it has been getting down to -13 or so some nights. As long as I get it finished before the snow hits, I'll be laughing... my lowered 240sx is not ideal in snowy conditions haha.

stovanovich Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Did an oil change & service on the ol' Girl today (heaps of space to work while the turbo is still off)She's not gonna know what hit her when she gets back running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialWarr Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I decide to figure out if the 4x4 still works after putzing around all summer in RWD only. The tracks up the bank in the snow would seem to indicate that it does! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
