Re: Cruise "SET" light flashing

Went through and crossed off all the possible causes listed on YouTube and ultimately landed on the one I was dreading the most - failing clock spring. Given the sensitivity of the issue with it pertaining to the airbag, had the shop perform the work with OEM parts. Unreal what service costs have in...

Re: Loss of heat stopped at idle.

Same thing happened to mine. Posted about it on these boards a while ago. https://www.thenissanpath.com/topic12776.html The heat would fluctuate with the throttle. After much tinkering, the eventual fix was a failing shutoff valve in the heater hose. Replacement of the HVAC heater hose inlet solved ...

320mm rotors from other Nissans???

The V8 Pathfinder runs 320mm rotors in the front. I am looking for crossed drilled and slotted rotors. With the V8 Pathy being such a limited production run there isn't much marketed specifically to it. Does anyone know if other Nissan models (Z Car, Q56, etc) might have the same bolt pattern in 320...

Re: ***List of upgrade for max HP from V8 LE***

Preformance Racing's website appears to be down at the moment, hopefully not permanently, but according to their R51 V8 drag strip warrior...intake manifold. $$$$ though. Try to reach out to them as they personally drag race their R51 Pathfinder with a manual transmission conversion. Website is dow...

Re: Cruise "SET" light flashing

Thanks. So would the fix be replacing the ASCD brake pedal switch? Just trying to get prepared if it becomes a recurring issues.

Cruise "SET" light flashing

Hello everyone. Yesterday I was logging a stretch of highway driving and attempted to engage the cruise control. Depressing the "ON/OFF" button resulted in the usual illumination of the CRUISE light on the instrument cluster, however before I could flick the "SET" switch the word...

How to Retrieve Song Library?

Hi all - Does anyone know how to retrieve songs from the library in the R51 to another electronic device? My CD book was stolen years ago, leaving me with the R51 song library as the only complete catalog remaining of all those classics from back in the day. One day the inevitable will come where I ...

Re: No heat while sitting idle, any suggestions?

Two years later and this issue is intermittently occuring. Some days are worse than others. I did check the heater control valve and the worm gear was affixed properly. To describe the problem, if the heat is turned all the way up to 90 degrees and the blower is on max, it will often be hot when at ...

Re: ***List of upgrade for max HP from V8 LE***

Thanks, Palmer. Do you have your eyes on any particular header setup? I've heard long throw are preferred but they do cost more. There's also some debate about relocating the oxygen sensor depending on which brand one springs for. On this topic of performance parts, Jim Wolf Technology makes a few p...

Re: front struts squeak and creak?

Anyone think it could be the added friction from the increased viscosity of the rust proofing spray? The sound became noticeable almost immediately (day or two later) after the truck was in to be rust proofed. If so, wondering if a liberal dousing of a light weight oil like WD-40 or equivalent lube ...

front struts squeak and creak?

Recently had a rust proofing and underbody spray service performed on my R51. It seems ever since then the vehicle has squeaked and creaked constantly. It sounds like a hoop ride going through the bank teller lane. I had it looked at by a shop. They said it appears to be stemming from the front stru...

Headlight upgrade compendium

Have been searching for a quality HID upgrade for a 2011 V8 R51. The below are a compendium of posts discussing this topic spanning pre- (2005-07) and post-facelift (2008-13) R51s posted over the last 2-3 years. From what I gather there is no easy upgrade for post-facelift R51s. It appears true HID ...
