Hi guys,

When I bought my Pathfinder 2 weeks ago I didn't realize my shocks were yellow. Are they supposed to be that way or are they not stock shocks? I attached some pictures below.

No, those aren't stock. The shocks and struts on your Pathfinder have been upgraded to OME (Old Man Emu) shocks/struts. They are better than stock and they are fairly high quality.

Thanks a bunch Pwnin O'Brien. I have no idea what OME's are but I guess I can google it.

Upon further inspection, I found 2 more things that I am not sure about.

See Exhibit #1 and #2: Is this the stock Cold Air Intake?
See Exhibit #3: It's a 3' cable with a plug at the end. What the heck is it and is it stock?

Lol how do you not know if this stuff is stock or not? it obviously isnt. the 1st and 2nd pics is a k&n air intake, and the 3rd looks like something electrical of some sort, like a plug.. maybe its the rear 12v pulled out of the holder on the right.

Sorry, I've only had it for almost 2 weeks and I've never had a pathfinder before so I don't know what it comes with. Thank you though.

ok, and your welcome, but think about it and how many cars do you know come with a stock k&n intake? I bet there are some but only special verison like the Lancer EVO, WRX Sti, etc. So its kinda obvious to me a pathfinder wouldnt come with this.

anyways welcome to the r50 section of nico

The third pic looks more like some sort of trailer harness since its coming out from under the floor mat.. Could be wrong though..

this is a plug for a trailer for sure. Mine is the same one in the same location, all though you might need to buy an adapter for it to work with flat blade trailer harnesses.

Oh and here are your EMU shocks http://www.arb.com.au/products/old-man-emu-suspension/

and a vid of them at work [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRCYab6Z ... r_embedded[/youtube]
