Heater core leak

So this weekend I was driving home from work which I notice the gauge of the temperature climb 3/4 of the range. I was able to park the car and open the hood to find out it was spilling coolant (water since I did not had coolant in the system) so I tried to manage to determine where was the leak com...

Misfire cylinder #2

I have a 97 Nissan Pathfinder SE in which out of nowhere my car started to flash the C.E.L on the dashboard - I plug in the OBII and it gave me misfire on cylinder No.2. I do feel the engine vibrate on idle and when I come into stops. The spark plugs were swapped out about 3 years ago (NGK) along wi...

The 2005-2012 are so much more vehicle though.... if you are talking about Scotty Kilmers youtube vids the guy tends to hyperbole. Then main problem those had and how to adress you can find in our R51 subforum but i dont want to talk you out of a R50.. Just trying to make sure you look at them for ...

2001-2004 Pathfinder

Good news! I am in the market for a used car and after searching I decided to replace my 97 Pathfinder with an newer model. I am leaning on a 2001-2004 in which I saw a youtube video where a mechanic was saying that the early 2000's are better built quality vs the newer ones. I decided to get the sa...

2003's did not share the Maxima's transmission. The 2003 Pathfinder had the VQ35DE engine. The pluses are it's got a lot more power than the VG33E, gets better gas mileage and has timing chains instead of a timing belt. The cons are that it does have a lot more sensors and is technologically more a...

2003 Nissan Pathfinder SE

Unfortunately my 97 Pathfinder is slowly dying on me. I got into an accident on the end of August; thankfully I walked away with bruises in my arms and a broken watch that was passed down to me. Surprisingly the car was drive-able after been sandwhich in a multi car collision. Made the math and it w...

Airbags passenger

Unfortunately I got into an multi car accident last week in which both air bags were deployed. I found some cheap ones that fit my model online (used) since most of the airbags are discontinues new. The adjuster came and looked into the damage and turns out that the car is a total loss. Since I cann...

Winshield replacement

Unfortunately I was involve in a chain of accident (I was #5) fortunate the car is still derivable and most important we were all able to walk away from the accident. I walked away with just minor scratches and a bit of soreness. The car sustained damage on the windshield with has two cracks due to ...

Radiator flush

I am leaning on doing a radiator flush over the weekend (if not next since its been pretty hot lately!) Which if I remember correctly the radiator does have a petcock valve to drain, I am going to put some radiator flush fluid a few days before draining. Now will this get the old coolant 100% out si...

Does it have the factory, power antennae? If so, you can purchase the replacement mast from Nissan. If the plastic track broke inside the motor, you would have to remove the power antennae motor and open it up to remove the plastic track. But, if it didn't break the plastic track inside the motor, ...

Over the weekend my youngest sibling decided to take the car to the drive thru car wash; of course the machines ripped the antenna off the car! Now I am in the market on getting a replacement. I found one that its into the car but cannot decide which one to get if the power or manual one; I am unsur...

If the shop is doing the water pump or timing belt, the drive belts have to be removed, anyway, so there is no extra labor to replace the drive belts during the job. Whenever possible, I use Bando brand belts, which make many of the OEM belts for Nissan and they always fit they they are supposed to...

Belts are not a big ticket item. It wouldn't hurt to change them and be ready for the hot summer driving season coming up. They're so much easier to change in a shop than on the side of the highway. I'd be equally concerned about the radiator hoses and heater hoses, especially the 90 degree 1/2&quo...
