2plankAlex Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hello, names Alex. From Calgary, Alberta; currently going to College and working at a Volkswagen dealership part time. Been driving Nissan's since,well since I've been driving, but bought a Pathfinder about three months ago and figured it was time to check out some forums as I've been getting the itch to do some modifications. Anyways to the important stuff: 1996 Pathfinder LE -340,000 kms -automatic -loaded with everything but a sunroof Picture is from just after I bought it, picked it up to use as transport for when I start to work on what was my daily driven 93' D21, but started driving it right away and haven't touched my D21 since . Seems like it was well maintained its whole life and only has a few problems! The solenoid for reverse gets stuck it seems, especially when its cold, making for a delayed shift into reverse; but its usually goes away completely when the truck is warm fortunately. The engine light has also come on a few times since I've owned it, but only when towing my trailer. Towed about 1,500kms over the summer though and it did well. The previous owner backed into something pretty hard and the rear bumper has a pretty large dent, and there's a few rust spots starting, but other than that the body is in really good shape for its age. Put an aftermarket tranny cooler, hitch, new shocks, and regular maintenance in so far, but now its time to start doing some more stuff with the pathfinder. From what I can tell it seems like there's a pretty limited aftermarket for this generation of Pathfinder, but it would much appreciated if some of you guys could point me in the right direction for good bang for the buck stuff to do with it. Anyways some more pictures. My 1993 D21 V6 5-speed, 1986 300zx Turbo 5-speed, Pathy, and 1959 travel trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stovanovich Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Welcome mate! Being from Calgary, you'll probably like this decal (providing you're a hockey fan): That's sitting on my truck over here in New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plankAlex Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Beautiful turbo car! Thanks! Sad to say rust and rot has gotten to the frame and body in a few spots and she's starting to get far from road-worthy. But that brings me to a question, is that a vg30et I see in your WD21? I've had the plan to put the engine from the 300 into my D21 for quite a while now but haven't taken much initiative yet . If it is I probably have a couple questions. Welcome mate! Being from Calgary, you'll probably like this decal (providing you're a hockey fan): That's sitting on my truck over here in New Zealand. That's awesome! Cool to see something like that on the other side of the world. I actually have my New Zealand citizenship funny enough, born and raised in Calgary but my father is originally from New Zealand. Small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small world. Small world alright! Well if you're ever over here for a visit be sure to send me a PM. You can check out my Turbo Diesel Pathy and we'll go find some mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Welcome to the party! Would I be mistaken in assuming that the pictures are from somewhere around 3 Ave. SW Calgary? It looks very familiar! Particularly that house under construction!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very familiar! Particularly that house under construction!!! Pretty good guess! Not too far from there, just on the opposite side of downtown.

SpecialWarr Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I didn't get a chance to wander around Calgary much when I was there a couple o years ago but I did see a black R50 in the area!
