The Nissan Path

So as some of you may know, i recently had to pay for a whole new transmission blah blah blah, I get in this morning turn the truck on and notice the SES or the FML light is on. Between smashing my head through the window and deciding which cliff to push it off, I managed to make it to the shop in 1...

DEFINETLY check for the "milkshake" transmission fluid color. If it is milky, RUN from this truck. If it's not, Buy it and DAY ONE get the trans bypass cooler installed.

Still closed but not fixed, Have to get around to taking it in soon... Trucks misbehaving alot with the little things, door frozen shut this morning...

There definetly IS great quality (and MUCH better than OEM) Brakes, but that is the one thing i won't experiment with- OEM brakes without a doubt.

Unless you tow ALOT, go for the V6. 275ish horsepower VS 310 really isn't worth it IMO. Especially considering how much more the V8 weighs, almost offsets the extra power (V8 is over 220LBS heavier)

They are definetly bricks, But they're like bricks thrown out of a plane; They still fucking fly no matter what the shape is! Best "race" i've personally had is against a crown vic (IT WAS NEON GREEN EWWWW) absolutely destroyed it. Pathys ARE fast.

Oh how i would of loved a pathy that looked similar to the r51's, but with more powerplant options. perhaps a Diesel? T/TT gas i4?

dared3vil00

Yup he has the original belt and has no intention of replacing it. Im pretty sure hes going to upgrade to a new Murano probably next fall as long as the Pathy keeps on trucking. By then he should have 400+km. 300+Km on a TIMING BELT? Amazing. I thought people who pushed past 100-110k on one was pus...

Timing belt? I'm pretty sure our trucks have timing chains which do not need to be replaced?

EDIT: Talking about the 99 pathy, nevermind me

dared3vil00

Good advice, Definetly an option i'm being forced to consider (Looking at YOU Nissan.)

dared3vil00

Well, as most of you i'm extremely disappointed with Nissans decision to make a soccer-mom mobile out of the Pathfinder, So i've been trying to decide what i should do, Keep my current truck until something better comes along from Nissan, OR go to the dark side (4runner) if they keep that a REAL SUV...

You know what Nissan, Fack YOU. I had faith you would not wreck this. Thanks for taking a name such as "Pathfinder" which implies it's an off road worthy vehicle and turning it into a Nissan Sante fe POS http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6dc2HdbJUR8/TKsSdZMoDMI/AAAAAAAAEbY/5SJwuZB7wA8/s1600/Hyunda...

Out of curiosity why does a 2WD pathy have skid plates?

Had i known i never would of exceeded them. Not willing to risk a blowout at that speed.

dared3vil00

UH OH... I think i may have made a big mistake by pushing the truck that far. Well more the tires than the truck. AFAIK All terrain TA's have either an R or an S rating. R is 106MPH S is 112MPH. Are those Speed ratings pretty accurate about when the tire will blowout? If they are fairly accurate the...
