New to the forums. Just saying hello!
Just purchased my second Pathfinder. Traded my 03 with 223k miles on her for an 08 SE 4.0. I scoured autotrader for about 3 months looking for the right deal but not much was showing up. Here's what I ended up with. She's got just over 97k. Haven't done much yet except for removing the terrible pinstripe and the 18" rims I found for $110 a piece shipped from eBay with Cooper Adventurer 265 65 18 from pep boys. What an aesthetic difference from the 17" 6 spokes! (They're for sale in CT by the way. PM me for details) Anyway, here's a pic I took over the weekend. Glad to be on the forum!
Thanks! I've been lurking here for a while getting a feel for which direction I wanna go with her. I'd love to do a lift but I'm in and out of parking garages for work and I'm afraid I won't clear the entrance bumpers. Oh well. I'd like to give her some more performance through intake spacer and a bullydog as well as an airlift in the rear. Should be enough for the time being!
Well I did the searching for you and found "the" thread about the bypass:

I personally just swapped the hose on the passenger side of the radiator and where it goes to the tranny. So it just loops in the radiator. I'll try to get a photo.

just did the bypass. easier done than describing it. but I did not use any additional parts. no coupler, no hose clamp (reuse original), no zip tie.
you have 2 hoses -
hose A - from external transmission cooler to radiator (passenger side)
hose B - from radiator (driver side) to engine block.
take hose A off radiator (passenger side) and plug into engine block
take hose B off engine block and plug into radiator (passenger side), forming a loop within.
reuse all the old hose and clamp. length is perfect.

Well it may have be fixed in 2008 but imo better safe then sorry.
I wouldn't bother doing a flush before.
You really dont look any tranny fluid. I hardly had top ad any. Maybe half a quart.
Well tranny fluid will come out of the hoses. If coolant comes out then you have a problem. That'll mean you have a failed radiator and everything is contaminated.
If your really fast and can cover the hoses from leaking then you shouldn't have to top of very little.
