Lol I think really we don't get the desert style heat up here (just gross humidity). Though plastics do degrade its usually only on cars that sit in the same spot for years at a time.

The Frontier and Xterra (gen 1) are laid out the same way as a WD21. I have one of each so I can confirm this is true. It is the r50 VG33 Pathfinder that is different. The Fronty/X also use flat ribbed belts for all 3 while the r50 uses 2 flat belts and a v-belt for the PS (it is a weird setup). You could also have your pathfinder balancer machined to fit the VG33 crankshaft but I am not 100 percent sure this is possible or if there is enough meat on it to do that.

I just cut the hoses and replace them whenever I'm in there, which is not that often thankfully!

If you can find one of those adapters for the crank that mr510 made, or get one made yourself, you can run all the vg30 @!*% which makes it way easier. Otherwise you'll be adapting the VG33 accessories, at least the Xterra VG33 all the "stuff" is in the same spot.

May have just posted that to nudge you into updating us on things I get it though, been so busy I have not had any time to work on the vehicles, missed out on on a whole season of wheeling this year.

If it's one of the ones no under the intake it's easy, but for the ones under the intake, one of those connectors on the tree on the valve cover leads to the rest of them. If you check the FSM it will say which. I'm scared of the injectors on mine, I forgot to keep the ones on my parts truck before junking it, and it seems like they vanished from every parts supplier overnight?

Yeah if you don't know how old it is, just replace it, they're not expensive or hard to change. I know years ago the aftermarket ones (even bosch) would cause a slight surging on acceleration after it was warmed up. Irritated the heck out of me.

I did them on my D22 a couple months ago man the space for the coolant hoses at the back of the intake is even more of a bitch than the wd21.

Have you looked into something like this to recalibrate the speedo? https://www.yellr.com/ I know it worked on my old WD21 but yours is different.

If you want upgraded stainless flex hoses, 4x4parts.com has them. Otherwise rockauto or any auto parts store should be able to get OE rubber style.

Running well when cold but poor when hot is indicative of a sensor issue. When it goes for closed loop it acts up. On mine this was caused by the o2 sensor. But if she’s due for a tune up start there. I’d also toss a new CTS in there since it throws a code. It should not do that, ever. You can also check the resistance on the injector cold vs hot. Healthy ones are around 12 or 14 ohms. Can’t remember which.

I don't know what you all do. I've never broken one of these across owning 3 of these trucks lmao. Crazy americans.

Good luck. Sometimes older cars fight us out of spite lol.

Apparently they do interchange. I haven't done it but the wd22 and R50 using the VG have a smaller starter that is easier to replace.

KS will never cause a "stumble" all it will do is dial back the timing so it has less power and uses more fuel. To avoid pinging.
