Sodero Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi all, A couple weeks ago I bought a 99(early half) Pathfinder LE from a local dealership for $3500. I don't normally buy from dealerships but when I saw it and looked it over I was amazed at the shape this thing was in inside and out. Being on the east coast of Canada we don't necessarily get a LOT of snow, but we do however get a lot of crap weather in the winter and that means that they are constantly salting the roads. So to find a 99 in great shape is like a needle in a hay stack. I've been looking over these forums since I bought it and have learned a lot thanks to some very smart people on here. Today I just ordered the AC 2" lift. I went with GR2 struts and Blistien rear shocks, I also ordered Mile Marker manual locking hubs. I figured I'd make a post to show my progress with the vehicle and it seemed like a good way to make a first post. Here's a couple pics of her in 100% stock form. Here's a couple pics of my 350Z as well for anyone who is also a car lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonianwalk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Wow ... Very clean R50 indeed! Nice action shot of the "peel-out" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12161216 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If you keep those wheels you can dremel out the front wheel caps and they will fit over the MM hubs perfect. That is what I did on my 97 LE. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathfounder Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's in amazing condition, from those pictures. I've never seen one like that ever, other than perhaps back when it actually was new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It's in amazing condition, from those pictures. I've never seen one like that ever, other than perhaps back when it actually was new. I've seen a few around here in Ottawa that were clearly maintained very well. Mostly driven by blue hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodero Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Thanks for all the comments, compliments! Haha the burnout pic of the Z was one I had been wanting,I got the girlfriend to snap a pic of me destroying my tires before I put it away for winter. "PaMountianbiker" Your R50 is exactly what I'd like to get to some day! I love the look of it, great job! "12161216" I'm glad to know that the stock caps will fit over the hubs, I had planned on trying it but wasn't sure if it would work. Thanks for the good news:) "01silvapathy" Haha yeah I know, I do love the VQ, I missed out by half a model year. I have a blown VQ sitting on my garage floor actually, it didn't like the extra power the Vortech SC gave it haha. Though it did last a full year of being beat on at 402whp on a totally stock engine. They are tougher than ppl give them credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Meh, the pathy VQ eats sensors for breakfast, you're better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodero Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well finally got my lift installed. Took a little while for the parts to come, but it's all here and on:) Everything went perfect doing the install and I love the way the new lift feels!! Now I just need to save some money for new rims and bigger tires, thinking 265/75/16's. I can't wait. P.s. yes that is a little hole in the front bumper corner:( New ones will be ordered asap!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
