New member, sort of: Here is the new used 04 r50 Platinum edition!!!!!

[lemansz20]

I got this 04 about 4 days ago, its got about 72k on it and runs pretty good. The transmission shifts a little slow, but im hoping an oil change will help that. Here she is: (pictures are from my google phone, so nothing crazy)

Here is how the front looks now, I have a black out headlight set going on and Ill take pics after im done installing.

Nice! I always loved an all black Pathy! You got the best year, 2004 before they re-designed, and all the latest gadgets inside!

[lemansz20]

Thanx man, I just installed the headlights right after I installed the new headlights. It looks WAY better I think, I will take pics tomm when its lighter in the day. Def need to get some front tints, and change all the yellow bulbs to clear, b/c on black it shows to much.

Make sure u do all preventative maintenance before u continue drivin that beauty so it will last u long times without headaches!

Hey now that you mention that, ive tried to look a little bit. What is recommended to be changed at 72k miles, b/c the dealer that sold me the car lost the books and had to order another one for me.

[Qxxx4]

very nice! clean and sexy black, those are my fav wheels on the r50 maybe ill just get those lol

[JonathanPrem]

Are those Stock running board. Those look really sexy. Mines a bit different and those rims. Dammmm

[lemansz20]

Yea their factory, and very sturdy. I am a little unhappy that the dealer I bought it from, put different tires on the back but w/e I can over look it for now.

Nice Pathy, congrats on the purchase. Love the wheels that came on those. Definately sharp. Enjoy your '04, man, I love mine.

Good lookin' ride!

well...change your transmission fluidslsd flluidscheck spark plugsget a compression test donecheck your coolant and all other lubs and liquids

try to check for any wierd noise in the suspensiin like clunking and stuff when your driving.

yeah it may cost a bit but its worth it in the long run. One guy on here has a pathy with 180k wiht the 3.5 v6. And just got his first check engine light...so that pretty damn good!

What should the compression be at?? I am pretty sure they did the test before I got the car so i can check the results. I think it was good.

ONE thing that is bothering me is the trans is shifting slow, like 1st gear to second gear is kinda harsh when shifting to second, could this be just a simple trans fluid fix????

[pathfinder9035]

yeah it could be....worth a try.

and im not sure what the compression should be but i bet the other guys on this forum knows.

[lemansz20]

Yea Im gonna try and change it this week. Im gonna do a search on what oil people are using, if not just start another thread unless someone answers me here. Im gonna have to change the engine oil, and transmission oil for sure.
