Re: Any/Max Lift with Bilstein 4600 Shocks?

It's when I go over a bad patch of road (street driving) it doesn't seem to be in control. This is only used for street driving. I did replace the front shocks but not the springs, which now I feel was stupid of me to do. Maybe I will go with the quick struts, that way I'll know all is new. Moog or ...

Re: Any/Max Lift with Bilstein 4600 Shocks?

Hello guys, interesting info here. I don't want to hijack any thread here, but since this is about suspension, I'm wondering about my front. My Pathy had 98 thousand miles and was driven hard. I replaced my rear with Moog springs and Bilstein shocks. Can anyone recommend something for the front. I'm...

Re: Engine rebuild or replacecment

Well I wanted to thank @smj999smj and @ palmerwmd for the advice earlier about my engine. I bought a 2018 4.0 with 10K miles on it. Found a REAL shop that had it installed in 1 day. The 2nd day was testing. Now, since my warranty kicked in a new transmission and my low milage engine, It's like drivi...

Roof trim / molding

Am I missing something here, or does this trim just lay into this large groove? It also seems to large.

Re: Engine rebuild or replacecment

Well, I bought a 2018 4.0 with 10K miles. It's being shipped to a shop I found and seems to be a good one. Hoping this engine will last, I feel pretty good about this. Can't wait to get it, and have the shop drop it in.

Re: Engine replacement

Hello Norbert, glad to hear you got a good smooth running engine. I'm needing to replace my engine also and was wondering if your engine was purchased by an individual or engine company? Would you mind letting me know which company you purchased your engine from as I need the same engine. Thanks, John

Re: Engine rebuild or replacecment

Thanks so much for the reply. I wanted to see if what the mechanic wrote me sounds true or not. Here's what he said: Spoke to master Nissan tech. Oil blow by is on start up on your car. Which means it can pull oil via crankcase into your intake. . He has seen the same issue. He suggested what I said...

Honest Nissan Mechanic in my area

Since I got my 2009 Pathy back from a timing chain replacement with no oil in it, and my engine seized up, I'm looking to see if anyone in the West San Fernando Valley (California) would know a good (HONEST) Nissan mechanic. After getting advice from @smj999smj , I found a 2017 Frontier 4.0 engine I...

Re: Engine rebuild or replacecment

I'm starting to look for a newer Frontier 4.0 and was wondering what the VIN 4th digit means? VIN A, VIN D ? Do I need a certain VIN letter? Thanks

I would go with a used engine from a later model Frontier or Xterra. The VQ40DE is the same all the way through 2019 on the Frontier and until the last year of the Xterra.
So I would be able to get a 2019 Frontier engine that would drop into my Pathy? Any mods, or direct replacement?

Re: Engine rebuild or replacecment

Thanks guys, here's what's going on. Bought my Pathfinder from a dealership used. During the inspection they missed a bad lower radiator hose. So when that broke while I was driving, the engine overheated. Dealership replaced that engine with a used engine. That engine had very rough idle and would ...

Engine rebuild or replacecment

Hello Pathfinder people, I'm wondering if anyone has purchased a remanufactured long block and are you happy with the place you purchased the long block from? Would this be the best way to go since I need a new engine. This will be the 3rd engine going in this Pathfinder since I bought it in October...
