Shifting out of Park

Good morning All, My 09 has been occasionally doing a weird thing where it won't shift out of park. You know that definitive "click" you can feel when you depress the brake to release the Shifter. It would appear that mine stops doing that for a short period of time and then does it again ...

Re: It has begun!! Titan VK56 swap in my '05!

That was just awesome to see the engine bay completely gutted like that. With everybody turbo'ing everything these days, I'm suprised nobody has built an performance engine for our pathy's yet. Nice work on your VK swap though! Love it! I had no idea that they sold 2wd Pathfinders! I've only ever se...

Re: Bilstein 4600 + Moog Springs

I have the 4600's and the Moog's The Moogs started off pretty hard but, I was pleased with the Extra ride height. Under load they perform beautifully and give a real planted feel the Pathfinder. I towed a 4600 lb Travel trailer this year and was very please with the way it handled the weight.

Re: locked out with dead battery

Yes clockwise should unlock and counter clockwise should lock. I'm wondering if the linkage has come off inside the door. Do you hear any kind of mechanical movement in the door when you turn the key? You should hear a "clunk" inside the door as you move the linkage. Nothing worse then not...

Re: Need help with towing

Some great info in here. I think I may just buy one of those TPMS Tool thingies for when I flip to my winters. What I've done in the past is the following: Set tires as follows: Front Left -- 36 PSI Front Right -- 33 PSI Right Rear -- 30 PSI Left Rear -- 27 PSI Turn key to run but don't start, tap w...

HVAC Temperature Control

Hey All, I can't remember where I read it, on here, so I'm just going to start a new thread. So I was having trouble with my temperature(HVAC) inside the vehicle, it would either blow cold or luke warm and nothing in between. At first I thought it was a blend door, or a stuck valve but, after doing ...

Re: After 2500 miles my oil still looks near new

Just gotta chime in that it's so nice to have the same level all the time. After driving American cars for the last 10 years and ALWAYS adding oil it is SOooo nice to drive a vehicle that doesn't burn a lick of oil. Oil's cheap I'll replace it as often as it needs it!!! I run the Pennzoil Synthetic ...

Re: Alternator questions

Nothing worse then putting a part in and it solves the problem but, sounds terrible. It's even worse when it's super labour intensive!!!
At least it should be quicker the second time as you've done it once before.

Re: Weird double arrow green dash light

Weird, does the dealer have any ideas as to what it could be. I don't even think I have a space for that light.

ClockSpring Adventure

Hey All, I know it's been documented elsewhere but, I wanted to add this here. If it's not the right place, Mods, please delete this topic. I just wanted to say that I struggled for a good 30 min and almost gave up because I couldn't figure out how to get the Airbag off. I did not realize you had to...

Re: R51 pathfinder walkaround

Looks super clean, right out of the showroom. Interesting though, I've never seen one with the reflectors in the bumper like that! Must be a different country thing.

Re: Center or Third Brake Light

I had to replace mine, it was surprisingly cheap at $70 CAD at our local dealer but, $30 on eBay is much cheaper. Good to know if mine ever goes again.
It's just a 12 Volt output, I wonder if a guy could just put some white or Red Standard LED Car strips in there????
