jwblue Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Someone in another thread has a 1995 Pathfinder that was labeled "Safari Edition" on a sticker on the vehicle. What was the Safari Edition? He was Canadian, so I do not know if it was available in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 No idea but safari green was a color option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've seen a couple. To me it just seems like a sticker package. Both of them have been Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Could it be Canadianese for Special Edition?? I know the Canuks had a Chilkoot edition for the R50, so it might be that stickers make them happy. VTEK!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'd assume another Canadian decal package like the Chilkoot as well or maby a dealer installed 'package' to make the original buyer feel special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That was kind of like the Limited Edition trucks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That was kind of like the Limited Edition trucks here. US spec "Special Editions" got better than a sticker, they got a "plaque" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lint Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'd rather have a sticker than plaque any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 US spec "Special Editions" got better than a sticker, they got a "plaque" ! I've got one of those! Number 76 of 300 There was also a Warren Miller edition. Came with ski racks and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Made you feel special. I think they were among the first 300 to be produced in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathybuilder Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Here's some photos of my "Safari Edition" I don't think in this case it's anything more than a couple decals. No plaques or anything. The safari edition sticker is missing on the rear drivers side as it was in an accident before I got it and the body shop never replaced it. Oh yeah, It does make me feel special lol Edited March 19, 2012 by pathybuilder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Here's a newer special edition called the "Nissan Pathfinder Mammoth Sports Adventure Special Edition" see link below: http://www.nicarfinder.co.uk/news/1382 and another, "2011 Nissan Pathfinder Celebrates Milestone With Silver Edition" http://www.autobytel.com/nissan/pathfinder/2011/car-buying-guides/2011-nissan-pathfinder-celebrates-milestone-with-silver-edition-107828/ Edited March 19, 2012 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathybuilder Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looks good, but needs fender flares IMHO. B I couldn't agree more, it wasn't bad with the 235/75 R15 tires on it, but the 31s stick out a bit. Flares will come with the build I'm taking on.

Tungsten Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Wrong. Mine was made in japan. Weird... Someone posted before that they were among the first 300 to be built in TN. I guess not. So what made them special? The badge? Looks good, but needs fender flares IMHO. B Flares look gay with small wheels on WD21s and even more gay on R50s. They should be good with the large tires but if you live somewhere with a lot of road salt, the flares will pick up the salt and trap it in the fenders. The result is rusted fenders. I liked the look of flares with 31s on legos but had to remove them because they started to corrode my fenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 some places have laws about tires hanging past the fenders so I run them whether I like them or not (which I honestly don't mind them and pull them during thorough cleanings anyway), on a truck with 235s... yea, take em off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I used wheels other than legos that have less back space I would look into aftermarket flares (because of tire laws) instead that just stick on. However factory is not a problem if you can still clean them or live in a less rusting part of the planet.

Precise1 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sorry, I do not know, it is the first I have seen of that edition. I couldn't agree more, it wasn't bad with the 235/75 R15 tires on it, but the 31s stick out a bit. Flares will come with the build I'm taking on. Try it with 8" rims and 4" backspacing.

B That looks good, mine will look similar, not quite as clean, same colour, same bumper. Already ordered 8" rims with 3.75" backspacing and 33" x 12.50" Mickey Thompson MTZ, just waiting for them to show up. I have no idea if it was sold in the US. I've actually never seen another one in Canada either. I've seen some white ones with the pathfinder decals along the rocker panels, I think they are fairly common.

kdj Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have a '98 Chilkoot(Canadian). It is a 100th aniversery limited edition to celebrate the trail that led to the Klondike gold fields in 1889. It's a SE with special graffics, numbered plauge, alum. step rails, special floor mats, compass, carbon fiber dash and tow package. Unlike the SE it does not come with pansy leather heated power seats. It has 265/70/15's like the SE(XE and LE 245/70/15) and 8.3" ground clearance unlike the XE and LE with 7.5". XE base model then SE(sports edition), Chilkoot and Klondike, then LE (luxury edition). I've seen the Chilkoot in Sierra silver and dark green(not sure actual colour name). I've never heard of a Safari Edition though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
