crazyhayseed Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 i have no idea what model i have.... I don't have my decoder on this computer to be sure, but I would think that the VIN would tell you your trim level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinla Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 93-95 SE alloy wheels rank as one of the top SUV wheels ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePathy Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I had an XE and now a SE. Never had any problems with any of the power stuff on either (except the power antenna which is useless on any car). I really like the look of the SE (lego wheels especially) and the better interior materials. SE all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NissanNut Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 My last 6 Nissans were all SEs. I have had 2 XEs and 1 GXE (Quest) and 2 bare bones. I love the SE for the intermittenant wipers and CC. I always love the optional power package. Everything works in all mine current 3 SE V6 Nissans. So easy to fix this stuff. I did not get the sports pack in my 92 pathy. It had the 31s, sunroof, rear carrier, lsd or rear discs but it did come with previous owner installed 31s on legos! The only feature I dont use is the auto climate stuff. I love the Truck version. 1-4 is all I need with super cool AC. I have since installed lsd and rear discs, upgraded to r134 also. easy swap. Its my only Nissan out of the last 7 that does not have a sunroof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFCFNG Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I have an XE and love it. Only thing I wish I had was the tire rack on the hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlion Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I like my SE. It would be nice to have the rear tire rack as well. When I go wheelin', I have to remove the tire from underneath and put it on the roof. Other than that, the creature comforts are nice and leather is easy to maintain.

MadManMike Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Wow I had no idea my mirrors were heated until I read this No more rolling down the windows in the freezing cold to de-ice them... just a push of the defrost button. Now having had my pathy for 2 years, I almost feel cheated that I didn't notice this. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love being able to fire it up, turn on the the front and rear defrost, go in and have some breakfast, then leave and go to school and all the snow will be melted off, and the truck is toasty warm.

Simon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 You do know that idling fuel injected vehicles isn't good for them, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Basic reasoning is this. Vehicles take a LOT longer to warm up when idling as opposed to driving. With a fuel injected, and thus, computer controlled car, the vehicle runs in open loop, meaning, it simply dumps fuel in to keep it running at a predetermined rate (which is usually quite high). This means that there's a lot of unburnt fuel getting to your sensors, which throws them off, and can actually, long term, cause damage. Best bet is to drive it to get it into closed loop as quickly as possible, so that the sensors are actually doing their job, telling the ECU to lean out the fuel mixture, thus being more efficient, and running as it should. Here's a couple of other quotes.... Most drivers may not know this, but excessive idling can damage the engine. Idling causes damage, because an idle engine is not operating at its peak temperature, therefore fuel combustion is incomplete. As a result, fuel residue can condense cylinder walls, contaminate oil, and damage engine components. For example, these residues tend to deposit on spark plugs. With more engines idling, there is a drop in the average plug temperature and accelerated plug fouling, which increases fuel consumption by 4 or 5 percent. Idling can also cause water to condense in the vehicle's exhaust. Which can lead to corrosion, and reduce the life of the exhaust system. It's better to shut your vehicle off and restart, than to let it remain idle. It's a common myth that your car needs to be warmed up before driving, but this is not true. Cars don't really need to be warmed up unless the weather is below 25 degrees. Even if the weather's below 25 degrees, it only takes 30 seconds for your engine to be warmed. Actually, driving your vehicle gently is the best warm up for the engine. Edited October 21, 2008 by Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big reason i let it idle a bit is because the trans shifts so damn rough when its not at normal temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I had that same problem shifting as well me and my mechanic have found that works great to use "GM Syncromesh" google it its amazing it shift like it does in the summer i love it!

OldSlowReliable Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Im not sure about you guys But my 91 XE seems well-equipped- Cruise C Tire Carrier Power Windows & Mirrors Rear Wiper & Defrost Power Steering Tilt Wheel Spoiler-like thing LSD Fog Lights below bumper Chrome Wheels Grey Interior Automatic and 4x4 hi & low, 2h But no sunroof, roof rack, or brushguard stuff Edited February 21, 2009 by OldSlowReliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) The only thing I hate about my XE were the seats. They weren't THAT bad but I got some SE ones in now. I wouldn't go back. It's got power everything and cruise that don't work, but NO carrier, sunroof, LSD or fog lights. It does have a roof rack though and the mirrors are power and heated. Whoever had mine must have lived in the city. I know the PO did. I think most wd21s have a rear wiper and tilt wheel. I wouldn't want to steer one of these without PS!

Kingman Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Mine is an SE. Automagic, power windows and locks, AC that doesn't work, cruise control, sunroof, bullguard and tire carrier, and no fog lights, LSD, or roof rack. The SE seats are very comfy...

95RedPathfinder Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I own a XE and so far i'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 SE for me. LSD and rear disc with the sport package. I could care less about the power goodies and I hate the lego wheels. I do like the SE seats much better though. The lumbar support is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
