WD21s only have one O2 sensor, which is upstream. Bosch is the original O2 sensor manufacturer. Buy this Bosch direct-fit sensor at Advance Auto Parts online using discount code A124 and get it for only $60 before tax.

Loosening and tightening the brass screws on the backside of the instrument cluster may help your tachometer, also ensure the wiring harnesses are connected completely and are "clicked in". If the speedo and tach start working after tightening the screws, it might fix your code 14 too.

KYB GR-2 front struts are great on my '01 Pathfinder, I'm sure they'll be good for your WD21 too.

Does your Pathfinder have a manual transmission?

I don't know anything about emissions testing, Florida doesn't have them and I've never lived in a state with inspections.

It's a auto was looking for a 5speed but they were all crap and rust buckets this ones got a mint body. My dad had a 97 hardbody so the front reminds me of that and my mom had a 99.5 r50 it's like reliving my childhood both body styles in one car

Good, rust is bad!

You should do a transmission fluid exchange (you can find steps for a cooler line fluid exchange in the general information thread, linked in my signature) and add an auxiliary cooler, the automatics on WD21s are known for failure.

There is a timing belt DIY guide on NPORA here if you feel like trying to tackle that yourself.

I'm not sure there's a guide for removing the instrument cluster on a WD21 specifically, but if it's anything like an R50 you need to remove the two screws at the top of the instrument cluster shroud then pull that out, then 4 screws and you have access to the backside of the cluster.

Also, download the factory service manual here. To save a copy of the FSM, right click -> Save As on every PDF, save them into a single folder, then use fwd.pdf to navigate.
