The Nissan Path

Coincidentally, I just got my rears done and took it for a drive last night(OME shocks & Med springs). I experienced the same thing, but my speeds were no higher than 40-50 mph and I felt like I was in a boat during a hurricane and I had no control of the steering. For my issue though, I see my ...

Thanks, forgot about Dezert Runner Offroad. They're only a couple towns over, about a 10-15 minute drive west :mrgreen: Been meaning to ask them about making me a set of rock sliders and then drive to King Shocks so they can look at my rear suspension to see if they have any shocks off their shelves ...

I haven't seen a thread listing any current businesses that make R51 parts for us that likes to take our vehicles off the beaten path. I've seen old threads that mentioned companies/businesses that are no longer making parts for the R51 or they're out of business. I'm hoping to come back and update ...

Your "low coolant" light essentially is your temp gauge or CEL

I was talking about that driveshaft spacer because that is going to see a lot of torque and spinning thousands of revolutions.

Man, I'd use loctite and RTV gasket maker on that spacer when installing.

Check your battery terminals and battery first.

True considering you're 2wd, cloth interior, and none of the other extra options that come on the LE. Also you're probably on 3.36 gear ratio as oppose to 2.93 so that definitely helps with acceleration and keeping the engine it's prime power band most likely.

And here I am with my trip computer telling me I'm averaging 14.7 mpg. :(

Congrats man! Glad you're enjoying the VK56. Before I bought my 2011 this year. I kind of regretted not buy a 2008 V8 LE that had transmission problems. The seller had it listed for $2000 obo so I'm sure someone made it out ...

My brother has an FJ80 Land Cruiser that he's been building for a few years now. He went from factory stock to 37" tires with a 4" suspension lift. He finally had his LC re-geared last week to get the factory performance back and now it feels like he has a supercharger or turbocharger installed. He ...

I would get a hold of ARB or authorized dealer of OME to double check.

silverarrow27

I hope you don't require that much lift because I have a set of the same size tires sitting in the garage waiting to be put on once I get my coilovers. I'm just going with a 2" suspension lift and I'm ready to trim fenders and bumpers to make it fit :mrgreen: I would have actually gone 35" have I ...

Other than your stealerships, not a lot of mechanics specialize in the one make anymore. It normally comes down to one or a few particular models now that most specialty shops concentrate on now. The Frontier sold well so I wouldn't be surprised if all mechanics have at some point worked on a few ...

I've looked into this myself as I'll be in the same situation as you. I'll probably just go with a 3.36 ring & pinion set for front and rear though. Still haven't figured out if I want to go with ARB or something else. Filthy Motorsports has a cable driven locker that I'm interested in on their site ...

Yelp reviews has always been a great source to find a good mechanic. When you speak to the mechanic, talk to them a bit and gauge their knowledge. If the mechanic knows the Nissan Frontier/Pathy/Xterra or the VQ in general, they'll usually make a comment about the truck. A local shop I know made a ...
