The Nissan Path

As I am always replacing the crap Nissan body/trim screws and bolts, I bought a bunch of different flavors (styles,sizes, grades) in bulk from Zoro Tools and in A2 stainless steel from Albany County Fasteners (keep in mind stainless is usually softer than comparable fasteners, so only use for low-st...

Reinstalled passenger side luggage/cargo lower side panel after installing VLR load resistor for RR TS led, cleaned 11 years of crud off/out of rear HVAC unit and quarter-panel well, re-sealed sunroof drain hose on top of rear wheel well. I didn't remove seats, the bolts are frozen. (Summer project,...

A note on the Weathertech mats I recently treated myself to. (P#44033-1-2,front and rear floorliner, the cupped ones). Front liners are great, catch everything without any interference to seats, rockers/sills, feet, or pedals. Rear ones aren't worth the money. To catch snow, mud, spills etc. the rai...

Thanks for the encouragement and sharing your knowledge, your posts across the board have been extremly helpful. Funny thing is that I've had Pathfinder for a over a month now, and most of that time she's been parked while I'm wrenching on her, and waiting for parts. Haven't really had a chance to p...

I just installed the gates kit (tensioner and belt) from Rock Auto, pn GAT 38378K. The fit on the fan mounting bracket seemed a little too "open to interpretation" for my liking; even with the locating pin, it could move around more than seemed normal. I centered it the best I could, we'll...

I imagine quite colorful language being used during that! I know that the timing guides, chains, tensioners R&R are in the future (as I plan on having Pathfinder for very long time) at some point. I'll bet cleaning the timing cover might be the hardest part of the job; dreading that. I'm picturi...

Thanks for the reply. No, you don't have to remove the entire front timing chain cover. All of that work I did was just for the primary chain tensioner cover on the passenger side of the timing cover that was leaking. The cover on the cover. Although after seeeing what the tensioner looked like a wa...

Welcome! What are some specs for the Aventura? I'm not sure what the US comparison would be. Seems like there were more options across the pond

Good point. I didn't think of cost of a gasket, I was thinking of cost of driling+tapping for an extra bolt or 2. I wondered about an after market gasket, but that wouldn't be profitable because of low demand. (ie not needed too often other than water pump replacement, occasional leak like mine, jus...

What's this string do?... To those that are familiar with VQ40DE this is simple. For those like me who are new to this 4.0, not so much. "While you're in there..." Replacing rad, hoses, belt, tensioner, trans cooler lines, oil cooler liners etc. on my "new" Pathfinder, I noticed ...

I've gotta mention Germain Nissan because I have been pleasantly surprised there. Perhaps I'm jaded because I have decades of bad experiences with dealer's parts dept., (AHHH! Aviod at all cost!!) let's just say one of the big three. (I have never bought any vehicle nor had service done at a dealer)...

Thanks for that Graham, hillarious

Wouldn't want to be under that bird's droppings

Throwing this out there. I've had coolant leaks so small they were'nt obvious, but over time they cause coolant loss. I have experienced leaks that evaporate or blow away before being noticeable. Heater cores can be sneaky bastards for leaking before you smell coolant inside or get that crappy "...

I second that advice. Sometimes the shop can even fix it cheaper than diy. Rare,yes, but worth a shot.

Welcome! The only problems I've dealt with the sensors are 1. Bad/cheap replacement 2. Connectors, especially. Check that all is as it should be. I have had broken wires inside the connectors from heat brittleness, as well as gunk causing poor connection. Couldn't get new connectors, so I had to get...
