vengeful Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Ooohhhh Shiney! There's a lot of people in NYC that go wheeling. I know of a bunch of people in Brooklyn that go down to PA and Long Island pretty frequently. Check out the Long Island NY Xterra Club for local events, too. http://www.linxc.com Welcome aboard.

SC88Pathy Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 As they said clean and shiney! A little TOO clean and shiney, go get some mud on it! Make sure to check for rust on the frame, listen for exhaust ticking at start up, and check the trans fluid, one of the top causes for pre-mature pathfinder death is tranny destruction. If you do get it install an external transmission cooler ASAP. Make sure to bypass the stock cooler when you do as that is the cause of transmission death.

John Boy Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thanks all................What is the "exhaust ticking at start up" all about? :confused: Tranny cooler first order of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxl90rx7 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 holy crap, that looks clean as hell! Nice find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) There was a problem with the exhaust manifold studs on all 87-95 pathfinders. They break and cause the exhaust manifolds to leak when they're cold, it's a ticking noise. All explained here: http://www.nissanpathfinders.com/manifold.htm Forgot to mention if you do have to replace them make sure to have them replaced with revised 300zx studs, the dealer will know what you're talking about (or at least they SHOULD know what you're asking for ) Edited May 26, 2006 by SC88Pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think putting the headers on is a better idea as it's out of warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Extra horsepower never hurts! Only problem is that the Thorley headers are expensive, expect to pay between $300 to $400 just for the headers, and then even more for instalation, especially if you have broken studs which can be a PITA to get out.

OR99.5Speed Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 That ticking could also be something worse...regardless, $2000 isn't a lot of money for a clean 4x4. Typically before you buy it you get it checked out. If the manifolds are bad, def. get 300ZX studs and Thorley headers. You won't be disappointed. Check for rust on the frame, and bypass the tranny cooler ASAP. Oh yeah, WELCOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 I'm like a little kid with a new toy am loving this thing. I discovered that none of the manifold studs are broken. (yet) ! The only thing that concerns me is it shifts kinda hard when cold. Not real hard but it's not overly smooth. I don't know if this is normal for pathfinders or what? But other then that it solid.

John Boy Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) NOT HAPPY! A/C will not hold a charge and compressor not kicking over at all. Dam!
