I just found out that Russian LE models of Pathfinders have Stock projector headlights. https://www.nissan-rus.ru/full-catalog/nissan-pathfinder-r51m/kuzov/optika/26010-5x10a/ Do you guys have any idea whether they will fit on our Pathys, or how to even check something like that? They are way too ex...

There really aren't too many radiators that are still made in the USA unless you are talking about racing and/or all-aluminum radiators that cost several hundreds of dollars, like Griffin Radiators. Most of the plastic-tanked radiators (similar to the OE part) are made in China, with some made in p...

There is also the CSF all-aluminum radiator for ~$350 depending on where you get it. There was some thread in some Frontier forum where people had issues with it (or hinted they had some issues) but I (and as far as I know, others here) have had no issues with mine. Double the cooling capacity of t...

The "Value Line" radiators are made by OE companies for Nissan at a more competitive price towards the aftermarket. I haven't priced checked them lately, but they were going for around $260 online, which is good when you compare them to the "original Nissan replacement part," wh...

Its the economy line from them. But definitely better than what you likely have in your truck. What does the part number sticker on the right side of your Rad say? My radiator says: 21460-ZL11A I see from previous posts it's best to replace it. How do you think it the "Value-Advantage" co...

A lot of people like the Spectra Premium radiators. It's a Canadian company, but the radiator is made in China (as most are) with a 2-year warranty. Rockauto.com carries them and other choices, as well. Great, thanks for the tip. Any resource you recommend to compare what aftermarket radiator to ch...

I've been thinking to do a radiator replacement. Nissan parts website seem to offer Radiator-Value Advantage. Is it a good one? What the difference with OEM 21460-9CA0E? https://parts.nissanusa.com/p/Nissan_2009_Pathfinder-SE-OR/Radiator----Value-Advantage/90110995/B1D60-EA21JNW.html https://parts.n...

The Nissan radiator after '11 is quite good BUT expensive. Nearly all the aftermarkets are good too so very few folks go with thwe Nissan OEM. If you are down on cash since u just bought the vehicle you do do the bypass (explained how-to elsewhere on here) for now. Its basically free and onloy cost...

Beautiful truck and great pic!.. :D Consider changing the radiator or doing the bypass sometime soon just in case to protect the tranny from possible coolant contamination.. The 09 radiators were better than the 05/06 but not as good as the final model that went into the 11s and 12s. :) Thanks! Wou...

How durable is that plastidip stuff on wheels anyway? Watching the application videos gives me the impression that while it looks nice, I'm guessing that it'll get scratched up or peeled off kind of easily. Might be ok for road cars, but offroad, maybe not? Itâ€™s fine for road cars, but for nice, ...

After a ton of searching and viewing a ton of garbage, finally found a great one. Please welcome 2009 Pathfinder SE Off-Road 76k miles. https://realogy-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/ikulichkin_corcoran_com/EWsHh_1foXZCr0m6AsLafngB2FL7XZEOJhps2iiE4OdDYg?e=PrYouN Thanks all for few advices.

New York Auction cars are IMHO often not a good buy. My advice to you is to check the closest state to you with a "normal" driving environment. I'm driving to Pennsylvania tomorrow to check out couple of cars there. Hopefully at least one of them will be in good shape. It's as much, if no...

I have a 2005 with just under 180K miles. It has a life time contract. Aside from the timing chain tensioner issue which a 2011 or newer should escape, the engine, transmission, and other major components have no major issues that would limit the expected service life. And I paid $3,500 at 170K mil...

Hi All, I'm excited to join the forum! I have been looking to buy used car and stopped on R51 Pathfinder. It looks good and it seems to be reliable, based on what i'm reading here and bunch of other rating websites. On top of all that it's real SUV that i can actually take off road a bit, and not wo...
