Re: R51 From Germany

I very nearly decided to gift my XTerra before I shipped it back yo the US, to a family member over there. But he is not a car guy. I believe in Germany an Xterra or a R51 would be something special, yet he would not have fully appreciated it I think. And to top it off, he lives in Berlin and not i...

Re: Got some new tires - Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

i have a little over 5k on my set of these. but in a much larger size. lift and the front requires some trimming. LT285/65R18 drove it up to tahoe with some heavy snow and i was quite happy with the performance but i dont have extensive snow experience. Do you have any pics from your snow trip? 8)

Re: R51 From Germany

Hi Fred, dein Deutsch ist aber auch sehr gut! Wobei ich nicht beurteilen kann ob es maschinell erstellt worden ist. Stuttgart is the greatest paradoxon in this whole discussion as it is the most microparticel polluted city in Germany. Basically the City where the whole madness started. Didn´t the o...

Re: Loss of heat stopped at idle.

Honestly, I think there was just some air stuck in there. There could be a leak, but it has to be so small as to be irrelevant. The thermostat might be opening a few degrees early (5-10) (based on spec) but its not enough for me to want to address it now. Maybe next time I feel like flushing the ra...

Re: Loss of heat stopped at idle.

Hi All, Thanks for all the comments. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a small leak in the system. Also i did notice a whirring noise that i thought was the fan wearing when the coolant was low. I haven't noticed it since i topped it up. I also did the heating things to get it up to temp as best ...

Same issue, mine turned out being a bad radiator. Bottom tank seal, and upper tank seal were shot.
Its good that u spotted the bad radiator beofre it became an even bigger prolem ..

Seems to me this symptom of intermittent heat can have several distinct causes.

Re: Loss of heat stopped at idle.

Same thing happened to mine. Posted about it on these boards a while ago. https://www.thenissanpath.com/topic12776.html The heat would fluctuate with the throttle. After much tinkering, the eventual fix was a failing shutoff valve in the heater hose. Replacement of the HVAC heater hose inlet solved...

Re: POR-15 on Random Things

Got distracted replacing a disposal. But, here is a zinc coated, reman caliper bracket on the left, and one I have stripped of zinc with my Dremel and a wire brush on the right. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e185/txnavy/A74CF336-B547-4A27-82E1-6165CA3A35FF.jpeg?width=960&height=720&...

Re: 2023 Frontier Exhaust - retrofit to R51?

Alas, I was in dire need this weekend. The cross pipe was bad and I had my local exhaust shop make a custom Y-tube that connected the two cats to the muffler. The new Frontier exhaust will be a future endeavor, if this piece ever rots away. So I basically have a 2-piece exhaust instead of the three...

Re: 2023 Frontier Exhaust - retrofit to R51?

I've been looking at replacing my soon to be falling apart exhaust assembly. I've noticed that the new Frontier has a heavy duty stainless steel system. It will surely outlast whatever I will purchase after market. The tuned sound from it is fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R2opomionY&am...

Re: Who has the highest miles? Post miles & service history

212K: Replaced my dead cat yesterday. Well...Nissan did and gave me a great deal on labor. It took them two days on the lift to ease the bolts apart and several broke anyway (this thing has spent half its life on the east coast), confirming this was not something I wanted to do in my garage. Among ...
