#30 of 79 Intake now available for '01 PF by pathy01 Jun 09, 2001 (2:10 pm)
Weapon R has an intake available for the 2001 Pathfinder. I've been hoping for one to become available for some time now, figure some of you might be too. Check them out at www.weapon-r.com They also have a ram air kit which can be used in conjunction with the intake. I've got both ordered, should be arriving soon. I'll let you know what I think of them when I get and install them.
#31 of 79 K&N air filter by windfalls99 Jun 10, 2001 (4:58 pm)
I recently installed a K&N filter in my 2001 LE. However, I was speaking to technician today who warned me that oil that may be given off by the filter may damage the mass air sensor and cause it to give false readings to the onboad processor. Has anyone heard of this potential problem?
#32 of 79 Pass on K&N by jeckles Jun 10, 2001 (5:24 pm)
I have tried K&N in several vehicles and am not impressed.   I don't want to start any flame wars or anything, but K&N filters are for race cars that get rebuilt often. Oil analysis shows wear metals and silica (sand) increase substantially after switching to K&N. I could also actually see dust accumulating on my throttle plate.   My brother uses one when he races (just in case he really gets an extra .5 hp) and then switches back to something more safe for normal driving. I recommend either use a high quality paper filter or reusable foam.   Just my $0.02 on the subject....
#33 of 79 Compare Buick, Passat, Audi, Accord & Bluebird by byroniii Jun 11, 2001 (12:33 am)
Hat off to everybody, Name's Jerry, now doing a boring survey on car brands. Just a few questions, what do you guys think of the above 5 brands? What would u associate with each of them? Do they mean something to you? For example, some people regard Buick as for elder citizens. I don't know. I just want to know what u folks think. Thanks.
#34 of 79 Interested in Mods for '01 SE 5spd but need education.... by exzave Jul 15, 2001 (12:57 pm)
OK CAI is cold air induction got that - pretty self explanatory   Cat-Back means putting exhaust system after factory catylitic converter. right..? New muffler and exhaust outlet right?   What is a "header"? Is it just a specially designed exhaust manifold. Does it include new cat or work with stock one? Does one generally put in new muffler, exhaust outlet w/ new header?    What about chips? These void warranties right? Are their any after market ECU's for pathfinders?   Answers or links to general modding information appreciated.   Exzave
#35 of 79 considering mods by smokey75 Aug 01, 2001 (7:02 am)
Hey, I'm considering a K&N FIPK Intake & Borla cat-back (not sure if they make one) for my 2001 PF LE. What are your thoughts on these? Thanks...

There are several people discussing different engine mods on the forums at 4x4parts.com Here's a sample photo of someone who custom-made his own intake: (Click here to view the thread)
#37 of 79 Recall Alert by mbunting Sep 15, 2001 (4:48 am)
Recall Alert: NISSAN PATHFINDER Owner Notification Date: 9/11/2001 Number of Units Potentially Affected: 31,000 Component Description: STRUCTURE:HATCHBACK HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS NHTSA Campaign Number: 01V282000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description of Recall Campaign: Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. 2001 model year Nissan Pathfinder vehicles manufactured from December 20, 2000, through June 8, 2001, and 2001 model year Infiniti QX4 vehicles manufacturer from January 8 to June 8, 2001. Some of the brackets used to attach the two gas struts to the rear door (hatch) may not have been made to specification. At high ambient temperature, the increase in gas pressure in the strut(s) may cause one or both brackets to bend, resulting in the struts detaching from the bracket(s) when opening or closing the rear door.   If both struts detach from the brackets, the door will rapidly fall down and possibly strike someone, possibly causing serious injury.   Dealers will replace the brackets for the struts free of charge. Owner notification is expected to begin during September 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261. Hawaiian residents should call 1-808-836-0888. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
#38 of 79 Bigger Tires by brian60 Oct 07, 2001 (11:47 pm)
Just installed some 265/70R16 Michelin Cross-Terrains on my 99.5 PF and they only seem to rub on the driver's side at about 3/4 of the way to fully cranking the steering wheel to the right while backing up. There's a ridge on the plastic fender liner directly behind the foglights that connects with the tread where it meets the outer sidewall. There seems to be a 1/2" more clearance on the passenger side, which seems to be enough so that nothing rubs. I used some Velcro to pull the liner back about 1/2", but I still got it to rub once today. I might redrill the three mounting holes for the fender liner on the bottom of the bumper if I can't get the Velcro to work. Just thought some of you guys might like to know.   BTW, 265/70s really fill up a Pathy's wheelwells - it's one of those things you have to see in person. Parked next to a Yukon and a Sequoia a few days ago, and I definately had the meatiest tires. Only downside is that my 3.3L feels even weaker as it tries to spin all that rubber.
#39 of 79 MIchelin Cross terrains by bigdot Nov 09, 2001 (6:21 pm)
How do you like your new cross terrains? These Michelins are the top rated all season in the Pathfinder size out on the Tire Rack web page. About 30 places up the food chain from the Bridgestone Dueler H/T that came on the Pathfinder. The noise is supposed to be way better (less) and the traction better. Would you agree?
