After a nice detail job i did tonight.



Blue Dashlight Mod.
and the Audio System




and id just like to see, can people measure, that have stock suspensions that they either replaced or that are still in good condition , measure how much inches from the floor, to the fender flares.

mines only 31 1/4 inches, im replacing it soon. coils, absorbers, and struts.
Thats about it, still on the list is
new suspension with 2 inch lowering coils.
Rims, i reallyed liked sixty4 or whatever his name was he has 22"s except id like mine to stick out, forgot if its negative or positive offest or if you need spacers, but so they stick out on the sides, wider stance.
blacked out headlights
send tails to jonstintedtails.com and also the 2 bumper reflectors, get dark tint on them, but leave the clear strips on the tails.
Paint the side mirrors to match body colour, along with all the handles.
i really want to find chrome trim for around the windows. since black starts to fade out and look like garabage
for audio, 7" dvd touchscreen headunit sometime, along with 2 15" FI BTL subs, and in all replace the whole bose, 4 in door speakers, and put 2 tweeters in the spots there are up front, and add 2 more in the rear.
tint, but i would want it all mirror tint, like the older lexus rx300;s have ,and the older pathfinders 98;s or something.
Paint the stock rims cause the caps are fading. and when i get another set of rims, put winter tires on those.
billet grill top and bottom, id also want to paint the inserts by the foglights to match the billet grill then.
mabye in the future new paint job.

edit: and to qxxx4 i actually want to take mine off soon, probably when i do the suspension and it settles and its 2" lowering, i will take off the running boards again, and the roof rack , will make you think its lowered more than it really is. since the roof rack adds like 4 inches to the look of it from like behind.
lol edit again:
but question about the dashlight mod, can the needles be changed to a diff colour? since i remember at night i road by this audi, and its dash and controls etc were green like ours, but its instrument panel, had green for like the speed etc. and then white needles. i though that would look pretty sick, and no need to go thru the trouble of changing the temp, etc lights to blue. and have that all stock look if the needles were white and dials green.

My front bumper looks like a 14 yr olds face, it's so pockmarked and chiped from all the rocks that have hit it on the highway.

but also, no rust, but you gotta have the balls to wash and wax your car in 20 degree weather, and the water starts icing on your hood so you have to get it in the garage quick, and also washing the underbody alot. pays off.
, id want it all to look like it was fresh, no chips, dings, dents, touch up paint. i really want to get a paint job, and get it the same colour, or a purpleish-redish colour changing paint, but that s***s expensive.| Quote, originally posted by miamiheat3332 » |
haha it already kills me just with ugh to i bet you offroaders is nothing but even the little chips it has kill me |

Bad idea. Those lowering spring will eat out your suspension and give you really bad ride quality .

i asked on this board no one seemed to have expireance with them, but i didnt order yet, so id like more info.
On the other hand, i do want to lower but goddamn no one has any i dont think. other than those.

dont have them anywhere. other than 4x4parts, and when i got my hopes up, im seeing that people are saying they are s***Let me say this, I'm lifted & have bigger tires, the ride is a bit rougher, to say the least, than stock height (especially with the tires I run) & many people (especially here on NICO) wouldn't dream of going with my setup because the ride will be waaay too rough for their delicate little as$es. If you like it & are into it then it won't matter. If you want a supremely comfortable ride on long trips then by all means keep the same suspension setup (maybe upgrade to nicer softer struts & shocks) but if you have a certain look you want (mine is more of an offroad performance issue but its essentially the same concept its just a matter of what you're in to) then to hell with everyone else & what they think, go with the lowering coils & throw some God-awul 20's on it but for the love of everything that is good & holy DO NOT put that little DUB emblem on it.
Try it out for yourself

Did your Pathfinder come with the roof rack fairing (the one that has NISSAN on the front) or did you remove it? If you removed it, how did you remove it from the rack? Also, do you get a lot of wind noise without the fairing? Thanks!
Also, how did you do the instrument cluster light mod? That looks really cool! Is there somewhere I can find instructions on how to complete it?

and the instrument panel mod, you need to buy 2 bulbs, and search for a thread, the starter should be slickroger. thats where i got it from.

and you mentioned going with a mirror tint? I'm not sure that you can do that under the factory tint... I'd just try to match the front windows to the factory back. I like that look a lot more than the mirror tints- but to each his own. Oh and sweet color

| Ahh, to have a pathy that never saw a Canadian winter. My front bumper looks like a 14 yr olds face, it's so pockmarked and chiped from all the rocks that have hit it on the highway. |
Likewise. Counted 14 chips on the bumper, 27 on the hood, and another 11 on the roofline.

and also your ride looks pretty clean for being in new york. i used to live on long island, and most of the family lives their, and there rides deteriorate pretty quick, but thats put also with them not really giving a s***. whole family pretty much drives hondas, nissans, infinitis, acuras.

| to nick, couldnt you just get the factory tint removed and go with the mirror then? |
its factory colored glass - the "tint" is not removeable.
the only way to do that would be to change out all the windows.
Post Title: Re: My pathfinder. (miamiheat3332)
Posted by: NickD85 at 5:49 PM 6/24/2009
edit: oh and the glass, s*** that sucks, i wonder how the mirrored tint the older pathys have would look on it, if it would look like s***, then id just go with black

With your help I was able to find the instrument cluster mod and I also removed my roof rack fairing successfully, Just one question, do you know of any good super glue? hahaha
Those clips you warned me about snapped right off, the front clip on both sides just broke off with ease.
I have another question, did you remove the clear tape under the fairing? How were you able to remove it? Thanks for your help!

| i heard its around 2500 for a factory quality paint job not sure from where, and like the frame, under the, hood, the door jambs etc. are inlcuded |
Umm, IIRC if you were to get a paint job to the same standards as the factory, it'd run you somewhere around $7K - 10K. I'm pretty sure you're looking at around 7 or 8 coats of paint and 5 or 6 coats of clear coat. I dunno, I could be way off, but that's what I remember.

It's around here somewhere... maybe I'll wash her in the next couple weeks for so. Ya never know... |
Whoa man, WHOA! Your rig might fall apart if you do that, the mud and grime is what's holding it together!

. Anyhow, I'll post some new/better pictures up once I get the new set in and once I finish de-badging the rear hatch.I love the look without the roof rack fairing, much cleaner and more sleek. I have noticed some wind noise above 40mph but it's not much more than the noise caused by the Yakima basket so it doesn't really bother me.

If anybody has projectors on their pathfinder (up to '04 cuz i know they have projectors for '05+) I would LOVE to see pictures. I really want to get HID's but they would never pass inspection with my current headlamps and I get enough people flashing me for my PIAA bulbs.
