Tell me more about that magnetic mount. Did you just put it behind the dash piece there or what? I've been looking for a new way to hold my mic and that's super clean.
I've yet to own an 80-series; the mileage scares me away :)
The power was great in the montero. Granted it was no muscle car but 215 hp/235(?) tq is pretty solid for a 4x4. I just picked up a 4Runner that I'm really liking but I do miss that extra 32 hp (and deeper axle gears) on the montero...
How much travel are you guys/gals getting out of the front of a Gen 1 Frontier/Xterra with aftermarket UCAs? I'm cross shopping those with 4Runners and Tacomas and I can get travel numbers for those but I haven't found any for the Nissans yet.
I'll post it up there once I wash it. Its filthy now and looks terrible, haha. Sucks that the motor went; it was a great vehicle otherwise.
I'm looking at 4Runners (96+) and Frontiers/Xterras. I almost want to get a car to stop getting terrible mileage but I know I'll regret that real quick.
Bad news: cylinder 6 is toast. Compression is at like 40 psi or so so the motor is dead. I guess the missing butterfly valve did some damage after all. I'm not really interested in a rebuild or a motor replacement so I guess its time to sell. Anyone interested?
I was thinking the same thing but I'm not sure where to get a scope. I was thinking I'd stick a magnet down in the chamber and see if anything comes up. When I pulled the spark plug from that cylinder, it was all smashed again so something for sure got in there. Fingers crossed it just passed...
Welp, I think I discovered why my spark plug got smashed:
Found I'm missing one of the butterflies from my intake when I removed it this weekend. Funny thing is, the screws are still there, just no plate. Weird. Now that I'm already replacing that manifold and its off, I guess its time for...
Hey all,
Yesterday my died at a stoplight. It started running a little rough and it felt like I lost most of my brake boost just before this happened. It was difficult to restart and required lots of throttle to keep it running. While I drove it from the light to a safe place to park a...
So any ideas about the crushed spark plug?
Small update, the plug I replaced it with is platinum but its not Denso or NGK. Guess we'll see how long it lasts.
