Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) Just picked this up last night. Napz24 carbureted 5speed. with a dual outlet flowmaster that dumps straight out of the muffler just before the rear axle.... :w00t: LOUD AF! Getting that fixed soon. Came with a sunpro protach-II(?) which i have to figure out how to install... four wires? and a bunch of junk! lol. Lowered by torsions in the front. I AM NOT new to nissan. Have had 4 pathfinders prior. :) It has these tires on it now down there VVV two rears were bad. :( one was peeling away from the wires. (the cap?) During the tire change: B) Edit because i forgot to add that i got ALL the original dealership paper work for this beauty. am/fm user guide, window stickers, etc. :) all the goodies that one loves to find in an old rig. plus it got painted by maaco (blech!) about 10 years ago.

DeviousPsycho620 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Nice truck man. Welcome to Ratsun. What plans do you have for her? You should come to the meet tomorrow in Vancouver. I think we have someone coming from Kelso. Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Dude! Im coming to vantucky tomorrow anyway! lol. i wanna come? send me an address? hahaha. id be interested in seeing others. Plans... different wheels so i can drop the rear, find seats that swap in, black interior swap (has a poop brown int now), drop the rear 2-4 inches, paint the cap. then touch up. maybe a carb'd vg30 in the future with a pathfinder LSD rear end swap.

Draker Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I know you've got the pro-tach but I've got a spare stock tach if you would want to go that route. Completely up to you man! Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 That would be better!!!! How does that swap in? My truck wasn't optioned for one... :( Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 It's simple, could probably install it in under 30 minutes. First things first, remove the cluster. Open it up and it bolts right in. Then you pop the hood and install the resistor (which I have) and thats it. all the plugs are already in the harness, just not plugged in. No mods needed. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColtonMelson Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I love the truck! I really like the wheels and have been looking for a new set for my 83' 720. Would you want so sell them? ALSO!! Any one else have a stock tach gauge cluster to sell?!?!?! I replaced mine due to a bad volt reg. to the fuel and volt gauge. and it has not tach. Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 That would be cool. Skulptr (who i know from pathfinder) has one over in spokane. so whoever can get me a decent price for a tach can take my money! ;) lol That sounds like a really simple in stall. yes i would sell my wheels. THOUGH, i need some other wheels in place of them... so maybe part trade? i need some that stick in further so i can drop the rear end! :) Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 $25 shipped to you. If you want the surround I'd include that too. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 sounds like a plan! It'll have to wait a few days. (MAYBE a week?) then i'd be down for it. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 No problem! I'll check with you in a week. I've tested the gauge and it works just fine. Let me know if you opt not to get it, cause ColtonMelson is looking for one too. Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Will do! I'll ask steve what he wants for his, and figure out my budget, and get back to you. :) Quote Link to comment
Alec 720 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Love the rims! Good looking truck too! Quote Link to comment
Bagged620bulletside Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Badass truck! Love the wheels and the color! Welcome to ratsun. Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks guys, thats one of the main reasons i went after it. it's attractive. :) plus i know how damned reliable they are! Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Okay, so it developed a problem on the way to the meet today. Engine kind of has a tick (never was noticeable before) and the idle has kicked up. so now when i clutch to shift, the idle stays at the rpm i clutched in for a good few seconds, or until i engaged the clutch. almost like its stuck in a cold idle? it heats up to half way on the gauge. Im stumped. :( Quote Link to comment
Kyle84 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hmmm so i was thinking about it, could the throttle plate/butterfly(?) be getting gummy and causing it to keep the same throttle when clutching? still doesnt explain the overall high idle. If i need to post this somewhere else let me know. Im new to carburated engines... :confused: Quote Link to comment
