The Nissan Path

The part you mention on the ground cable is a voltage sensor. The ECM monitors the voltage to control the charging system through the alternator. It allows the alternator to charge as needed rather than constantly charge, which saves a little gas.

Thanks! I guess it's been awhile? I spend most of my time at thenewx.org since purchasing my Xterra. I was having trouble signing into my thenissanpath.com account for awhile, so I just didn't bother after awhile.

Mitzone makes pretty good plastic valve cover sets with gaskets, cap and new bolts. They tend to run in the $65-$70 range for both covers in a set. They also make aluminum valve covers, but I've heard mixed reviews on them. I've purchased two set of Mitzone valve covers and have had no issues.

One thing I would recommend replacing while the front cover is off is the oil galley cover plate gasket on the front of the rear timing cover. Z1 Off-road sells a kit with improved gaskets and new bolts. The cover gaskets tend to blow-out on these engines and cause low oil pressure at idle and can c...

Has anyone purchased the Alloyworks all-aluminum radiator and installed it on their R51 Pathfinder? The radiator is nice, but the cap they supply is incorrect for our vehicles. It has a 16 PSI rated cap with the spring and plunger on the bottom of the cap. As most of you know, it is the coolant rese...

I cleaned-up the old bolts and re-used them. I put some anti-seize on the bolts in case I have to remove them again, someday.

According to the Nissan parts catalog, the part numbers are different for the valve covers for the 95 Pathfinder VG30E and a 2001 Frontier VG33E (I had to use Frontier because a 2001 Pathfinder has the VQ35DE engine). All are shown as discontinued by Nissan. You could try Car-part.com to look for a ...

For my Xterra, I went with Dorman # 626598 outlet side hose @ $30 from Rockauto and the inlet side hose I got for $42 w/ spring clamps from Z1offroad.com, which has a bleeder: https://www.z1offroad.com/z1-products/z1-off-road/z1-frontier-pathfinder-xterra-vq40-billet-heater-hose-inlet-p-18561.html?l...

It won't work on the V8 (#92408-ZS20A). It's only for the V6 R51 w/ rear HVAC. I'm not sure if that's the same as the one another member tried; he said the hoses on the bottom came up a little short. I also would have preferred that they use constant tension clamps like OE rather than worm gear clam...

Permatex Copper Spray Gasket is a good option.

With the overtime at the prison, the closest I get to going off-road is my driveway after the rain! Going back to batteries, I remember when I started working with Nissan, they used to sell fresh-packed batteries. We would get the Nissan batteries shipped to the dealer and then would purchase batter...

Yes, but isn't this everywhere? Let's take eyeglasses, for example. I purchased a set of reading glasses from Walgreen's last week. It seems well constructed, looks good and consists of a frame and lens for around $10. Meanwhile, if I were to get a set of just basic glasses from my Optometrist, I'd ...

I remember working on a 2001 Buick Park Ave. that would stall out on right turns per the customer and I verified. Turned out to be a bad ignition switch. Terminal 1 on the switch provided power to both the turn signal switch AND the ECM. There was some apparent resistance within the switch for termi...

With the purchase of the '12 Xterra to replace my Pathy, I decided to go with a Diehard Platinum AGM battery from Advance Auto Parts. It was $209 at the time, which was earlier this year. It's made by Clarios, which bought out Johnson Controls, and has a 3-year replacement warranty. Compared to the ...

If you're going to replace the radiator, you might as well replace the heater pipes on the firewall before they break!
