JamesRich Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Tried to install my motor into the pathfinder and could not get it to line up right. I really need my load leveler. At least the engine is out of the apartment and sitting inside the truck. I wish you luck with your install, I know you put a lot of work into where you are at so far. I hope the rest goes smooth for you. If I was local I'd go give you a hand. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Put green duct tape around where the rubber for the t-case shifter should be... should last until I get around to snagging an old tractor tube. The Nissan dealerships don't even have the rubber piece in their books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lint Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Sprayed down the rusty exhaust bolts with penetrating oil in the hopes of replacing the exhaust tomorrow. And while I was under there, gave 'er an oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed on my sentra when I pulled the MAF sensor off to clean it the plug and the socket on the MAF sensor were all covered in green corrosion. Scraped it off best I could car seems to run ok, but I noticed the rubber boot over the plug was all torn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lint Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Didn't get called in for work today so I replaced the exhaust & tail pipe. Those little hangars were a royal pain to remove! This job took far too long to do because the replacement part was just one piece and I had to jack up the rear of the truck & then remove the gas tank skid plate for clearance during installation. Oh, did I mention the hangars?? Got it done though! Result: nice & quiet. I didn't upgrade to a performance exhaust or anything fancy, cause I don't want to spend the dosh, and my Lambretta Motorscooter is loud enough to make me appreciate a quiet running vehicle!

Reshma Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Check the codes? Something i need to do...if only i knew how. someone told me a long time ago. I dont remember where or who.

Slartibartfast Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) I read the codes from mine the other day, dead easy, and pulled a code 55 which I was very happy about (means all clear). I read what towncivilian linked to, printed it out, put it in the glove box just in case. I did end up removing the seat, just to make things easier (and because I discovered lots of french fries lurking around the computer). Didn't even take that long, and I can't figure out most digital watches. Edited September 9, 2011 by Slartibartfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuong Nguyen Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Tried to mate the transmission with the engine block by using longer bolts and large nuts as spacers to pull the two together. I think I ended up misaligning the input shaft with the pilot bushing. The flex plate looks like it's bent/flexing. I didn't think it was this hard to do.
