I still really really dig your ride. :o

I'd like my QX4 to stand that tall someday.

My exhaust on the Qx4 was a modified Stillen Cat-back exhaust. I had the stillen cat-back exhaust on for awhile and then i wanted to get creative. I then had my muffler shop custom make pipes to go around the spare tire and there she is. I had a CAI/Hollo cats/and stillen exhaust as mods. I also advanced my timing and had a safc II installed on my truck to tune it. Needless to say, my truck was a lot faster than stock even with the 20's. I was running even with a Murano RWD.

I love that QX4 you used to have, love the rims too.

Do you remember which rims you had on it?

Please let me know.

what is safcII?

also, with the advanced timing, what did that do for your fuel economy and power/torque? i dont need numbers, just whether they increased or decreased.

finally, did the exhause do anything for performance?

kingflosser - The wheels were Giovanna Anzio 20's. They fit perfectly on the QX4 because they were made for six lug suvs.

Bullrid - The safc II is a little device that is used to control and modify the air - fuel mapping the ecu controls. It's made by apexi and it'sgreat for the 3.5 engine used by nissan. I have one in my G35 and I35. I bought the safc II because after I modified my exhaust all the way up to the headers, i was running rich and I had to lean out the air-fuel. My mods definitely made my truck run faster. I was running all over v8 trucks all day. I have a video out there showing my 0-60 from inside the truck from a stand still. If i find it, I will post it here.

Oh and you can advanced the timing on 3.5 by going to the nissan dealer and having a mechanic do it for you. You need someone with a Consult II and have them modified the timing to 17+. I actually got great fuel economy after all my mods. I went from 15city to about 20city and greatly improved on highway mpg.

Also, do you know if 22inch would fit aswell?

if you go to that link and scroll down, there is a pic of pathfinder with 22s

thanks for all that info, one more thing. what is the reason for the advanced timing. it injects the fuel sooner providing better response? better mixture of fuel and air resulting in more fuel efficiency?

You kiddin me? I'm impressed. .
Wish the VG would respond to stuff like this :o

I'd kill for 20 in town -- I typically saw 19 on my 240sx

Your Pathy is awesome! You offroad guys should make some posts with some general direction with do's and dont's of Pathfinder offroading and mods that support that!!!

HEYYYYYYYY ...

Are you PradoLifts?
I done some e-stalkin'

Says something about your site being the only R50 lift specialists -- do you sell a kit?
http://www.lpperformance.com/

Any reliability issues with lifting an R50? I like what I see, but I want it to take a serious beating :o

His lift uses the stock subframe dropped 4.5", some say it wont hold up to abuse, but he has tested it (along with the other users of the test kits) and they have held up fine. I was originally at the top of the list to get one of these lifts, but I'm happy with mine and haven't had a problem tackling an terrain in Virginia, but if you want a real lift, check his out. I know for a fact he has spent months and MONTHS and MONTHS just designing it, then building it so he feels comfortable with it. I would put it on my rig.

I haven't gotten to play around on the rocks yet much until a few little kicks are worked out. I need to extend by bumpstops just a little further so the tires stop trying to rip my rear bumper off.

And in all honesty, I'm not the first one to do one of these kits. Neither is Keith or any of the kits he made. The things seem fairly popular in Japan, but they are expensive as hell to start let alone ship over here.

The kit has taken a pretty good beating so far. I know not everyone has followed the progress so far, but the spacers I had installed had 4 sides plasma cut and welded together to form a "box". The new design is a piece of rectangular tube with holes instead to eliminate all welds aside from the seam from when the tube was assembled.

This snowstorm I slid into a snowbank and cracked a weld on one of the old blocks....everything else seems fine. Welded it back up and ready to go.

I KNOW THIS IS THE PICTURE THREAD. OTHERS ARE CHATTING HERE, JUST ANSWERING QUESTIONS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MOVE IT TO A NEW TOPIC!!!

tell me what you guys think

is your rear sway bar in?
