Re: Best thing I ever did

If you drive an older pathy, xterra or frontier, you’ve undoubtedly had trouble with the gosh darn clip/spring inside the gas door. Yup... i just sort persuaded it to get a little tighter and then gently persuade it to do what it want. Hum,... now that I think of it, I wonder if that would work for...

Re: Oil Change 5 miles ago : )

I was really disappointed in purchasing Kirkland a couple of years ago (seemed to burn off quite a bit) and have stuck to the M1 since. I have been using Kirkland as well and haven't noticed any issues like that. Curious why your using 0w-40 though, is that V8 thing because I thought the v6 called ...

Re: Z1 upgraded ignition coils

Z1 has the coil pack on same for 280$. (no affiliation). I am tempted. I paid like 150$ for one OEM coil a while back from the dealer ship.... Do i buy these or do i buy another vehicle (you know to have a spare for when one is broken...). Choices choices. https://www.z1offroad.com/z1-products/z1-of...

Re: Random wheel misalignent - Steering Angle Sensor

The issue is not the wheel. I replace the clockspring after the VDS light / SAS code happened. The splines are correct before and after based on the lineup marks on the wheel mount and shaft. Are they your line up marks? Sometimes after an alignment the steering wheel needs to be readjusted. There ...

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

Hi All, So I decided to take care of the hoses and coolant system (I have at least one coolant hose with a rather concerning crack. So I ordered the master hose kit. Given the price of OEM hoses I figured this was either cheaper or at least easier to do than try to piecemeal things. I ordered black ...

Re: Z1 upgraded ignition coils

This post was supposed to be on a different thread, sorry folks, i have moved it... these Z1 coils are on my short list though. Anyone know who manufactures these or have any information with regard quality?

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

Replying to my own thread, but i found this. Its for dual air... I assume that means separate rear AC control but i would have to look. i have a 2007 S 4wd so not sure this would work with mine. https://www.wholesalepartsexpress.com/product/92408-zl90b-upgrade-nissan-hose-assembly-heater-05-12-pathf...

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

Seems like a good time to consider the hoses and any other plastic coolant system parts. Isn't the thermostat housing normally plastic? so maybe replacing that would be a good idea (I may be wrong on this). something like this... note this raises the question, should we use a stock temperature range...

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

Definitely go with the coolant lines at the firewall. Valve cover gaskets and coil packs if you haven't done them. I had one of the coils fail already. I replaced it with an OEM one. Do the coils tend to expire at the same time? It does run a little rough at idle (slight shaking of the vehicle). Wo...

I got the Itch (where should i scratch)

Hi All, I got the itch to fix something on the pathy (and hopefully avoid a future breakdown), the wife is currently on maternity leave so we can get by with one car so now is probably a good time to make some mistakes. Here are the ideas I have... Coolant system: - hoses are probably fine. But I su...

Re: Engine smokes when going up hill

I would bet that it is your valve cover gasket(s). Let me tell you a story about why this must be so. I took my 2007 v6 pathy to the dealership for something (forgot what). They told me my valve cover gaskets where leaking. So I ordered replacements and put them in. All seemed well. Later, I took my...
