The Nissan Path

i got my pathy used, and the battery was ~2.5ys old at the time. i replaced it 6mo later due to multiple battery deaths (wouldn't even turn over at all on first try). i replaced with a duralast gold. 2 years after that (and i drained it a few times due to leaving stereo/amps on) i used the free repl...

wonder if a few things could be happening although these are just pure guesses as i've never heard of such a problem. maybe throttle position sensor? i had an acura once that at 'street' speeds was fine, but at highway speeds it would basically go into limp mode. maybe dirty/malfunction MAF sensor? ...

well, i have v8 but i didn't think that was much different than the v6 when it comes to this

did you see my post on the subject? i didn't need any line, just a double ended barb and some clamps....

boooo they don't make them for the v8s....

welp, after 1.5 years my plastidip'd wheels are finally starting to fail. here's my original post back from sept '12: http://www.thenissanpath.com/viewtopic.php?t=7815 it's starting with one of my wheels but it all are starting to get little cracks in the corners and such. here's the biggest culprit...

tromping through the snow on the way back from winter park...

probably did get much over 10-15mph at any given time. too hard to stop and turn when you go fast.

awesome time. i was in the bare rubber class, next class up is snow/studded tires, then the competition(non street legal rigs) this was the bare rubber track. during the morning practice it wasn't so bad, but once the sun came up it turned the ice into a wet glare ice and super slippery http://www.y...

nice find!

i run about 40-45psi in mine. any lower and i get outer tire wear. i take frequent depth measurements, and when the outside starts getting lower than the center, i air up more towards the 45 side.

if i go any higher it rattles my teeth out when i go over bumps....

The V8 and V6 have the same OEM shocks/springs. I'd be surprised if there's more than a 50-100# difference between the two engines. Not enough for a different suspension. I couldn't find an application of these shocks anywhere posted by Bilstein. I realize you have them and they work but I was snoo...

doctahjones

you're good, you're #1 in line. i should find out in a few hours if they're driving or flying, and we'll go from there. no $ needed just yet.

doctahjones

yeah from what i know the mounting and all is the same, but imo i think the spring has got to be a heavier spring due to the increased weight of the v8. i don't have any numbers to back that up, but it just seems like common sense when you're adding 2-300lbs in the front... i -might- also have a way...

some pics...

bushings look fine to me

doctahjones

i've been thinking about doing the same thing. couldn't you grab power from the rearview mirror? i mean mine has the lcd for direction and the auto dim feature, so it has power there. and if you don't have that, i would imagine there's a power wire there for it...
