WiredWrong Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I just got a new project , looking to turn my 91 pathy into a ???? I thinking on turning it into a mix breed half 4x4 and half quarter mile type like my 87 . I know some of you did not approve of my mods to my 87 so if your a purest or troll please don't post I don't want drama . Step 1 . I'm Removing all the dead weight from my rig IE (plastic ,seats carpet , dash etc. ) How much dead weight is inside of a 91 pathy ? I know I had one hell of a problem trying to find parts for my 87 pathfinder .. they don't make alot of racing parts for pathfinders so you kind of have to make them your self or know a friend with a machine shop XD any mods or thoughtful ideas would be nice , pictures to be added later Edited February 6, 2011 by WiredWrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunya Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 People didn't approve of your "test method" or attitude towards negative input. People hack d21s and wd21s I'm hydraulic hopping lowriders, but they don't come to an offroad based sites and try to get positive feedback . My .02 and I'm ending that there... As for our mix breed mash up, start thinkin outside he box and into putting something different between te framerails. 1/4 mile-ers and USEFULL off pavement vechiles don't normally mix (and I don't mean those dork-torque diesel full sizes wit stacks and launch in 4 wheel to connect then instantly switch back to 2 wheel to do the rest of the line) Make it your own though and enjoy your build time-don't make it a chore so it isn't fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to tube it so it's going to add +50lbs thinking pyro piping any thoughts ? I thought about a 440 with a 4bbl etc. , after thinking about it for awhile ... would that not like be ripping the heart out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Not really, Its still a nissan body and frame. The small block thing has been done too these a lot with favorable out comes but a BB is pushing it over the top and the fact that it hasnt been done to a wd21 before (d21 yes, but not a pathfinder) As far as ripping the heart out why would that really matter, you see chevys and ford running around with built ford tuff with chevy stuff, and such. It comes down too what works and what doesnt. Does it make sense too have a 1/4 and off road combo truck that needs too be rev'd to 8k to run a 15 second 1/4 and starts building tourqe at 3500rpm?

BigDaddyChris.com Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 what about making it a drift car? lower it way way down, throw a really riced out nissan motor in it. chop the top down low. that would be pretty wild, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I have a buddy working on a custom RWD D21 Hardbody with a SR20DET he's hoping to make driftable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 i was going to say carpet.. but you already got that. when you get rid of the ifs, if you do, it will also remove weight, (the nissan ifs is heavier than a d44) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiredWrong Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Time for a update; This is going to be a bit scattered but a how-to/overall etc. A.Steering wheel removal B.Cluster backround color change (night lights) more to be added as I have time to write this stuff up and edit pictures etc. A : Steering wheel removal Things needed 1. phillips screwdriver 12'' 2. harmonic balancer/steering wheel puller 3. breaker bar 4.13-16mm sockets 1. Remove the horn cover 2. Remove the locking bolting holding the steering wheel to the steering column 3. Size the two screw holes for A & B (the bolts sould have came with the ( steering wheel puller ) 4. Screw the rod into the main part of the puller. 5. Remove move the bolts from C. ; now put bolts in the main part of the puller B. ; screw into the holes in step 2 size 13mm socket (don't over tighten them) ; now tighten A. by hand till the steering wheel puller is tight with the steering wheel; use the breaker bar with a 16mm socket on A. to break it free of the steering column 6. It should look like this now 7. Congrats you removed your steering wheel Part two of this will be added when I get back to needing a steering wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've never had to use a steering wheel puller on any Nissan. I usually will loosen the nut but leave it on (don't want the steering wheel to fly off and nail you in the face), than grabbing the wheel at the 9 & 3 o clock positions I just pull and with a slight wiggle the steering wheel just comes off. Never had a problem stripping out the spines or anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiredWrong Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 B.Cluster backround color change (night lights) Things needed 1. phillips screwdriver 12'' or 6" 2. flat-nose pliers 3. precision screwdriver set 1. Remove screws from A-D 2. Place both hands under A and B like so and pulling 3''s out till the speedo disconnects from the cluster you'll hear a light pop 3 Now push in and tilt till you can place you thumb on A. 4. now pull down on A. and let the cluster lay on the steering column WARNING* be sure you remove the POS cable from your battery before touching wires 5. With your flat-nose pliers remove A-D most times you can remove them with your hands but D. is a pain without pliers ( when removing the wires please note the circuit board is cheap Plasic so if you can't remove A or C don't get mad and rage over it cause if you rip the circuit board your sol and your going to have to buy a whole new one cluster 6. Do the same for A & B 7. All together you should have removed six main wires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiredWrong Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 8. The fun part starts ( from this point on this should be done inside NOT outdoors ) 9. On the front of your dash you should have a twist knob ( adjusting your clock knob ) this knob has a tiny screw in it , unscrew and lift cab off as such 10. Push in tab for A - D you have to do this for both front and back 11. Now you removed the clear lid 12. Flip the cluster on its face and do the same to tabs A-B on the black part (both front and back) 13. you may need to pry some on the black part; your thumb works wonders for such 14. Now you removed the black part ill add part two in a few days Preview up part 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 i gotta question about that empty socket that might say ground and fuel, is there supposed to be a twist bulb in there? 8th picture down. my fuel light dosent work so i was wondering that empty space has anything to do with it?
