Re: XTP Intake manifold spacer (IMS) F/S!

Just ordered mine, don't know how long shipping to europe takes. Was wondering: The spacer will raise the manifold, will the two 12mm bolts holding the manifold on the passenger side still line up with the holes? Or do I need to apply some pressure to bend it down?

Regards, Norbert

Re: Show it off!! Recent pics of your Pfinder, let's see 'em!

One way amsterdam - french alps is 1300km. The last 100km are narrow winding mountain roads with a mountain pas...

Re: Engine replacement

One of the german owners added a LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) system which makes the running cost acceptable. Please tell us more about this... The spare wheel is replaced with a 70 liter tank which holds compressed gas. This gas is a combination of gasses produced as a by product from refining oi...

Re: Engine replacement

yes, Netherlands. Very rare car here. 30 R51 petrol engine cars and 301 R51 diesel engine cars. So finding a 2nd hand engine here is quite impossible. Mine is originally sold in Greece, went after some years to Germany. Where it had 3 owners and I brought it from Germany to the Netherlands. I think ...

Ok, I might have located one closeby. Now, I got some doubts that he might be selling a VQ35DE... What are the obvious differences between a VQ35DE and VQ40DE? The VQ35DE has 2 serpentine belts?

thx again

Engine replacement

Hi All, My '05 pathfinder (150k km) has low compression on all cilinders and consumes oil. Looks like the ceramic dust of the original cats damaged the cilinder sleeves. Time for a replacement engine :evil: . Now, problem is that these engines are rare in europe (mostly diesel pathfinders here). So ...

VQ40DE head gasket replacement with engine in car

Hi all,

Quick question.

New to this forum and looking to buy a 2005 R51. Found one with 205K kilometers for cheap but with a blown head gasket. Question is can the cilinder head be removed with the engine in the car?

thx,
