Re: 95 Hardbody Pathfinder swap (mrecoolgar)

Been working on the power hook ups for the PW, PL, PM and ect...
I drew the internal routings of the fuse block.
It has many always hot and key on power routings.
And the back has taps to add more circuits via wiring.
One for always hot and one for key on.
The upper fuses will be key on only and I'll be adding the PW there.
The lower fuses will be always hot and I'll be adding the PL and remote entry there.
I also removed the padded section of the dash from the plastic section.
You may not believe all the dirt that was sandwiched between them.

Colder weather is here and I don't have a heated garage.
I need to verify the fuse block terminals now that I'm adding optional equipment.
Here's a bare fuse block.

I hard wired the ashtray and lighter illumination as well as the glove box lamp.
I also hard wired the intermintent wipers.
I'm placing the wiper module inside instead of the factory location underhood.

The two photos above show the Pathfinder set when I had them installed on mine.
If I have any attaching hardware I'll send with it
I'm not sure how much to charge for shipping to GA.
But I'm guessing it will be between $30-$40 via UPS.
The box will be light but a bit large.
You can send a USPS money order or may via PayPal to 'mrecoolgar@hotmail.com'.

JC87HB — 2009-09-29T16:59:24-08:00

the pathy ones will fit a hardbody right? and how do i pay for this? xD

Re: 95 Hardbody Pathfinder swap (JC87HB)

mrecoolgar — 2009-09-29T16:07:30-08:00

I do.
I have all 4 from a Pathfinder that includes the mud guards - $60 all.
I had these on my Hardbody awhile and looked good.

And the fronts only, no mudguards for a hardbody - $20.
Thanks for asking.

mrecoolgar,

Hey man, do you happen to have any fender flares you are willing to part with? if so, how much for em?

Re: 95 Hardbody Pathfinder swap (mrecoolgar)

kibatheloanwolf — 2009-09-27T17:22:02-08:00

Okay I'll let you know by the end of the month man and btw looking good!

Re: 95 Hardbody Pathfinder swap (mrecoolgar)

mrecoolgar — 2009-09-27T17:07:01-08:00

I still need to wire in the ashtray and lighter illimination, the glovebox light and intermintent wipers.
Kiba - I'll be getting to the salvage yards after Oct 5th.
Let me know if you still need the air cleaner hardware.

Re: 95 Hardbody Pathfinder swap (kibatheloanwolf)

mrecoolgar — 2009-09-27T16:59:29-08:00

Yeah, the Pathfinder body parts will fit.
The dash is going back in now, slowly.
I finally removed the pedals to paint.

Proper wire harness routing followed by the climate plenums, 3 sections.
All with new seals in and out.

What a difference.

SGiese — 2009-09-21T14:01:22-08:00

I have a 95 Hardbody with a destroyed front clip. Will the pathfinder front clip with inner fender or without work on this truck? I have found a 94 pathfinder I can get the clip form cheap. The front of my inner fender is pretty torn up but I just may be able to beat it out enough if I have to. Also we may be gifted a diffrent pathfinder of unknown year to get the front clip from as well.

What a great idea and lots of work of course. I have a 1990 Nissan PU 4 wheel drive. I have had it for 15 yrs and now has 178,000 miles. I have been thinking of dumping it at some point but it hasn't given me a reason to do it yet. My interior and exterior need some work. Love the bucket seats. I am inspired. Runs great. Have never changed the timing chain.

They come unpainted from the factory.

And I thought I was the only one who was ever nutty enough to do this! My old HB had a water issue too, and those supports were mighty rusty. I treated them with Loctite Extend (rust neutralizer) and then sprayed them with flat black paint.

Let me know.
I'll be glad to send what you need.

I was getting a wet carpet on the passenger side.
I resealed around the windsheild but that didn't help.
I resealed around the fresh air intake but that didn't help.
It was leaking from the plastic cover that's above the fresh air intake.
It was warped and the water clung to the underside then dripped straight down into the fresh air intake.
I solved this problem by making another cover from tinted poly.
Old.

New.

And I've been painting the dash supports.
They come unpainted from the factory.

Please keep the circuit board.
I'm trying to reduce inventory.

Re: Now To Add AC (mrecoolgar)

kibatheloanwolf — 2009-08-26T08:18:44-08:00

Lol I might grab mine form auto zone or O'Rileys my dash is barely visible when I drive at night Oh and the white cluster is way better than that horrid orange cluster.

The white one has a nice blueish color to it which makes it better on my glasses and cuts down on the glare Would you like the old printed circuit board?

Re: Now To Add AC (kibatheloanwolf)

mrecoolgar — 2009-08-26T08:12:09-08:00

Got it fixed, good.
I may have a dimmer switch.
I had to replace mine as well.

Re: Now To Add AC (kibatheloanwolf)

kibatheloanwolf — 2009-08-26T06:31:33-08:00

Oh wow..I wonder how mine looks about now... Oh and thank you so much.. Would you happen to have a spare dash with vents? mine..has pieces missing an only 2 vents right now..

Re: Now To Add AC (mrecoolgar)

mrecoolgar — 2009-08-22T06:40:09-08:00

Fri I cleaned all the ductwork and started to reseal it.
This is an example of the thin, sponge-like seals used.
They are sticky and deteriorate over time.

I replaced this type with adhesive backed felt.

This is an example of the thicker foam-like seals used.
They deteriorate over time as well.

I replaced this type with adhesive backed foam.

Now To Add AC

mrecoolgar — 2009-08-22T06:10:07-08:00

Wed I finished underhood by adding the compressor.
It sits under the distributor.
I had to remove the cap in order to install the compressor.
I tried from under but it wouldn't go in that way either.

Then I removed the dash.

This is the section that gets replaced when adding AC.

Thu I removed the climate ductwork.

This debris is typical after 20 years.
It was thru out all the ducting as well.
I plan to add a filter at the fresh air intake to solve this problem.

Hey man I really hate to do this but do you think you can wait till Oct for payment on the seats I had to replace 2 tires a muffler and now blowing 89 bucks on marker lamps...

This is not a good time for my bills right now.. if you can't wait because you have another person interested in them by all means sell them I don't wanna have you lose money over me

Re: (kibatheloanwolf)

mrecoolgar — 2009-08-21T17:54:53-08:00

That probably is a shielded wire bundle and should be replaced.
Or maybe someone in the know can repair it.

The corner lamp will fit but may not match up to your grill.

Oh, and your package went out on Tue.
Thanks again.

Looking good, just dusty.
Mine had rust thru, of which I see none on yours.
That's a great starting point.
Recheck all your battery connections and use dielectric grease on the posts.
I'm almost certain there's a loose connection.
Just disassemble and reassemble all connections.

Well I think I might know the problem A few weeks back my fan blade met a wire that came from the distributor tot he ecu...and I spliced it back together... Could I have messed up?

Anyway here are some photos there is a wee bit of rust but nothing too big

Also..I just changed my battery cables recently..and ever since My truck has be choking at start up at times I had to run a wire to the lil thing on the side of the old cables and spliced it in.. Thin It's not getting enough juice to it?

Check your brake pedal. Nissan used plastic plugs on the pedal to depress the switch. Over time they can turn to dust. At that point the switch is no longer being pressed when you release the brake pedal. I had this happen to me 2 months ago. I replaced the missing plug with a small M6 bolt, lock washer and lock nut. Same happened to me with the clutch, Nissan used the same idea and it ended the same way. Truck wouldn't start because the clutch pedal was no longer pressing the clutch switch.

Well My clutch pedal did the same thing today...At least i was at home and know how to fix it Thanks Rev

Ouch So i would be best getting them form Auto Zone Or Advanced Auto Parts?

And yes I'm serious about grabbing those seats and will send you a 70 dollar Mo So you can hold onto them till I can get shipping done for them.

I appreciate all the thing you all have helped me with I really do My truck has really come a long way from when I bought it.,

It had no doors no Hood No windshield and no seat and didn't even run again thank you I want to keep her as long as possible

Re: (kibatheloanwolf)

mrecoolgar — 2009-08-16T06:57:45-08:00

The parking lamps are different depending on the year.
I have the drivers side from a 94 Pathfinder.
And the passenger side from a 86 or 89 Hardbody 4x4.

I have the wing nuts and know where to get the studs and intake tube.
I should be able to get those for you after Sep.

If you're serious about the seats, I will have to take them apart to ship.
Then I can box them and take them for a shipping quote.

It's no hassle, if I can help I will.

I will be trying to Nab those seats from you in September To get rid of the pain in the rear bench but it might take me another month to get shipping for you all I need to know is how much to ship also...My brake lights won't turn off... any ideas?
