nunya Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I got a ASCO intake spacer that will go in with my MPFI swap. They sent me a COOL NISSAN shot glass and it makes the spacer look like a shot glass holder. And I replaced my stock mid pipe with 2.25. that shot glass is SWEET!

MY1PATH Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Uhm. What? You not being there, why would you say that? Don't believe I can get my Pathy to 6k? Fine, ill tape it sometime. Don't believe the exhaust has a new leak somewhere? Fine, ill record the sound. I don't understand why you call bull @!*%. I've had my Pathfinders over 6k before. Big whoop. Today I contemplated getting the chemics to put in for my injectors. Then after deciding against. I put $28 in gas in it. I believe both things individually. But I do not believe that and N/A 3.0 could blow a seam on any muffler at any RPM. I take my engine up to 6k on a daily basis and I still have all my seams... More likely your @!*% rusted out and you didn't notice the change in sound until you got on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwd5021 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I also decided to check what the passenger side exhaust manifold looked like, there's been a very loud leak there since I got the truck. So I get the heat shield off, breaking 2 of the bolt heads in the process, and out dropped half of the top rear manifold stud. Hopefully that was rattling around making most of the noise I was hearing. Off to do some searching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I was going to start pulling the trans to change the pilot bearing but it started raining and wouldn't stop. She is sitting in around 3" of water on my slab in the back yard. Worst flood we had in 20 years. The town of Carencro is flooded bad, I think everyone got water in there house. They even had to close Interstate 10 for a while. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David had no objection... plus the sound didnt come until AFTER i hit the 6k mark, when i got home i noticed it sitting in the driveway. it may have been weaked by the rust yes. but the 6k rev helped it break loose most likely. last night i enjoyed the BIG amount of power the 3.0 puts out... *insert sarcasm* anyway, i followed an 06ish mazda rx8(i presume) up a 55mph to mt st helens at 65 mph. sometimes reaching 70mph. that was fun. trying to keep up with that little bastard. lol! but i did! time for vg33et though... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Changed my spark plugs, PCV valve, and did an oil change today. So that #6 spark plug? Took me about a minute to get it out. I could see how it could be hard to do, but I just used the shorter of the two spark plug thingys that Nissan provides. The trick is to look through the holes in the intake plenum to see where the plug is. I had some time, so I put the first two spark plugs in at my girlfriend's house. The guy at AAP told me they were pre-gapped. I doubted this, but didn't know much better. I drove it for about 8 miles like that. I go back home and use my gapper and the new plugs were only gapped at .020 inches. It was still running but missing like crazy. So I guess they were a bit overdue. Anyone have any ideas on how old these plugs are? I think I heard somewhere that Nissan used Bosch plugs at the factory? So I don't think these plugs could be much more than 50-60k old. OH yeah, if you notice in the first picture, one of the plugs actually has its washer seized to the plug body. There were actually two like that.

adamzan Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 They look like they're around the 50k mark, thats just my experience as mine looked the same at that many miles. Nissan used and still uses NGK plugs factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1994SEV6 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I noticed the truck felt a bit sluggish today going home. I think it was a psychological thing, but I wanted to double check my spark plugs. One of them was .042, one was .040, one was .038, and the rest were in the .032-.035 range. I re-gapped them just to be as precise as I could. Would these minute differences in the gaps make any real difference? I put all the spark plugs back in, and there is a kind of "puff puff" to it now. It sounds like it is in the exhaust only. It seems like some members on here have a genuine issue with the #6 plug. I made a little video of me getting it out in about 1 minute. Would anyone be interested in me posting it as a how-to?

Kingman Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Scored this bumper off an '87 in the junkyard for $35! It's got 5 tabs on top for lights and looks perfect for a hidden winch. And then went to another junkyard and saw these on an '88. Look Bushwacker-ish and if they are I'll go snag them. Definitely not factory flares.

lint Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Bought a set of JVC 6.5" component speakers to replace my blown 5x7 oem door speakers. Managed to install passenger side trouble free today. Tomorrow it will be driver's side. Then I'll be working on blowing out the rear speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
