rrxx007 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hello guys! I just got a 94' pathfinder SE 4x4 my father bought this suv almost 15 years ago and since then it has served faithfully to the family. Presently it is in need of some good care and reconditioning and Im really looking forward to learning as much as I can to get my paty looking and running like new. It definitely needs a paint job and it has a small problem in the engine where it doesnt accelerate normally in some occasions even with the throttle in good use (maybe the spark plug cables are in need of replacing?) , interior work is minor but my priority is to get the engine running good again. After that I will strongly consider lifting it with a calmini 3" 4WD Suspension Kit and giving it a full paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firehawk Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The red stands out for sure. I remember seeing red Nissan hardbodies when I was younger. Always liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994SEV6 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 my eye might be off today, but that doesn't look like an ordinary american Pathfinder. the mud flaps are kinda throwing me off. They are attached to the fender in a weird way. Something else I can't quite place about it. Anyway, doesn't look too rough. You shouldn't have that hard of a time fixing it up.

Firehawk Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You raise a good point. He has a molded mud flap in addition to the black one like my truck has. One thing to note~ he does have a Puerto Rico license plate. Maybe it's an "export" model so to speak? That's what we call foreign domestic's, not sure what to call a non-us bound foreign vehicle : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something else I can't quite place about it. They are either aftermarket, or Puerto Rico has some different factory ones.

devonianwalk Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Welcome to our community. Gosh, there must have been some sort of advertising that I was unaware of to gain so many new members this past week/weekend. In your first photo I thought that you had your front wheel chocked until I paned down to the picture of the front. It's a coconut! We don't have too many of those in South Carolina.

I guess in the topical states, you have coconuts just everywhere. In the road, under your car, in your yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrxx007 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 HA! Even I hadnt noticed the mudflap difference the suv was bought new here en PR but its not supposed to be different to the american model that I know of. And actually that coconut is from a neighbors palm tree LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrxx007 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Also I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find the plastic moldings that go around the windshield and rear side windows? seems like the heat ruined them and they are bent and ready to crack.

Hey look, my 1995 american model has the same ones...They were the 94-95 flare-less mudflaps. Edited January 18, 2012 by adamzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Welcome to NPORA !! The paint doesn't look to bad to me, repaint the bumpers, maybe new clear on the hood. The moldings either from a junk yard (may be as bad as what you have now) or the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hey look, my 1995 american model has the same ones...They were the 93-95 flare-less mudflaps. My friend has a 93, his mudflaps look like the 92 back ones. I thought it was a 94-95 thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrxx007 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Welcome to NPORA !! The paint doesn't look to bad to me, repaint the bumpers, maybe new clear on the hood. the problem is that the roof is worse than the hood and it even has small rust patches.

Im not much of a mechanic and can use as much help as I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) First thing you should do is download the FSM from this site, Than I would check to see if you have any stored codes in the computer. As with any used vehicle if you don't know when it had a tune up, filter changes, oil change, than you should do it.

Trogdor636 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Oops, my mistake. I never realized mine would look like that if I took the flares off and left the flaps, so you are up 10 points on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 welcome.! if your planning on doing at 3" SL be prepared to replace your ball joints...they dont last long with the angle they set at...a 2" BL and 2" SL will be less wear and tear on your IFS and you could tuck 33" tires no problem 94 stock mud flaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalker Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) running 33" i had to take them off Edited January 18, 2012 by stalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrxx007 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 running 33" i had to take them off Man I totally love your truck I was planing to do a similar paint job but with red in the upper part and black in the lower ! As for the SL I still havent researched enough but I got the idea that its way easier to give it a SL than a BL, what your opinion? Youre running a 2" BL and SL?

Firehawk Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks for chiming in Stalker~ I also wanted to do a 3in SL but now that you said the ball joins wont like it I am having second thoughts. The last thing I want is to build a rig that is going to break while I am 1.5hrs away in Galveston. Also like your truck, came across it last week.
