Re: Rear Wheel Well - missing fender flaps?

I'm thinking that part might be in lieu of the rear mud flap? Or under it?

There is nothing in the forward part of mine. I do know the square holes you are talking about. Nothing has ever been there in my truck.

Re: Dead alternator...?

Hello all, Today leaving the house, the Pathfinder went into limp mode and has what sounds like a whine coming from the alternator along with a burning smell. Multimeter shows that it is running on battery power only, around 11v when I checked it, and not the 13-14v you'd expect. I swapped batterie...

Re: Never mind! Have more thinking on this one.

Lots of threads on burping the system. It's not too tricky, just repetitive: park uphill, rev engine at 2-3K RPM with heat on full blast throughout the truck. Top off coolant when cool, rinse repeat a few times until the level stays steady. Helps to have zero leaks though, including the radiator its...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

I'd do sway bar bushings yourself for sure. They're pretty easy. Sway bar end links are another thing to look at. The originals can be a PITA to remove if they are rusty, but worth checking out and replacing if they are notchy or have play in them. Moog makes some replacements that are a little burl...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

Just purchased the Moog front and rear springs, all in cost was $200. Planning on ordering the Bilstein 4600's front and rear. For an install cost at a local shop what should I expect to pay? Been looking to do this on my 2012 V6 for years now. Dunno...but I would at least take a look at installing...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

Shipfixer, what airbags are you running, and do you like them/would you buy them again? I have the AirLift 1000 bags. On my second set (purchased new ones with the Moog springs in 2018) and they work great, never any issues. One note here, with the Moogs you definitely want to install the airbags w...

Re: '05 R51 Mode 6 Data - Details

I don't think so. But Nissan Data Scan on a PC does show more of the data through reverse engineering of CONSULT than you will get with OBD II by itself, including some codes that don't pop up on OBD II readers or even the Android version of NDS. It can also command idle air relearn, and set idle sp...

Re: Washer Pump Motor - Nissan Part #28920-7S000

My reservoir leaked, so that's what I replaced along with the pump.

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

I have the Moog V-6 springs. Before I installed them, I had to run my Airlift bags at 5-8 psi to keep the rear "about right" when empty, and would bump them to anywhere from 12-20 psi for different loads. This includes big mountain bike trips with a full heavy rack with three bikes, three ...

PRG motor mounts - round two

Like most early adopters of the PRG mounts, I didn't reinstall the stock heat shields. About ten years later, this is what the passenger one looks like: https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e185/txnavy/IMG_1321.jpeg?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds It was squatting down enough on the passen...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

I'd go with the Bills, and if the OEM springs are worn, maybe consider OEM spring replacement as well. Measure your height at arches. The OEM rear springs by themselves are too soft, even when new. You can spot a stock Pathfinder on the highway by the way it wallows and sways in the back. Zero reas...

Re: Replace stock sus with Moog/Bilstein?

The Moog springs and 4600s are great. The springs are what should have come on these trucks from the beginning.

Re: SURFING!!

You can get the board in, but probably not that way. If you remove the passenger headrest, tilt the seat back, and then put something about the same height (I use a large plastic tote with surf stuff in it), it will fit down the passenger side that way. Here is my 7'10" Harley Ingleby Mid 6 tha...

Re: Z1 upgraded ignition coils

My Z1 coils are great. I was replacing four old, two new standard coils and could tell a slight difference. Smoother, little more pick up, etc. Probably do put out more power as advertised.

Re: I got the Itch (where should i scratch)

After my heater manifold detonated, I would rather have done it pre-emptively.
