[@mojo4393]

Engine problem will come in with these ones due to its weight, it actually needs a bigger engine. 2.5 is just to weak

[@boofhead7338]

I have had my 07 for about 10 years and had the lift kit, big exhaust, clutch, air bags, chip etc. Learnt many lessons along the way. One was that its hard to find techs that can get the wheels aligned properly. Get a quality performance chip fitted, one that does not alter the fuel rail pressure but alters the injector pulse or you will get over fueling that in turn causes all sorts of issues including shortening the life of the engine and injectors. EGR blank is a must. Looking back all I would have done being a casual 4X4 driver is a chip and rear air bags. Otherwise they are a good capable 4X4 if not thrashed.

[@bigred4534]

What chip did you get for yours?

[@henrybarwick7712]

Hey! I’ve got a 2014 Pajero, just done a lap of Australia doing the great central road, plenty highway and a few other tracks on the way! Not one problem! 15,000km trip in a month and a bit! The car has 232,000km on it already (got it new) and never missed a beat! Yeah it lifts wheels but the traction control works a treat plus the standard rear locker 😍 and sand driving is what it’s made for! Always seem to put drive the patrols and cruisers (obviously cause it’s lighter too) and is a great touring rig! Highly recommend!

[@xaviermac7660]

I’ve got a 2000 r50 pathfinder (previous gen), it sits on 32s with a 2inch lift and a front auto locker, factory lsd in the rear it goes great. Keeps up with the others all through the high country. You’ve done a good job with yours, looks mint.

[@chubbz2562]

What type of lift? Level kit or coil spring lift? I have a 2003 I’m debating which one to go with. I’m thinking coil spring lift for comfort

[@BinJuice1630]

I've got a 2008 R51, been driving it now for 3 years. I love it, but man... Some of the problems I've had with it are nuts. I had the same issue with the alternator pulley that you did. Had to replace the entire suspension and we did the SCV twice! The worst problem we had was it going into Limp mode, bringing up all the lights on the dash, wouldn't rev past 2500. Couldn't figure that one out for months. Turned out to be the priming bulb to the fuel line had a hairline split in it. $20 to fix that. Another issue was the turbo not kicking in and using up entire fuel tanks in a day. That was fixed by $8 for new vacuum lines. It's been a headache but man it's a great car for camping. We're lucky to have the knowhow to fix it ourselves. For anybody else, this would have cost thousands to maintain. Really happy to hear it going well on the beaches, I just did my first creek crossings since it's actually running perfect for once, even towed a 750kg camping trailer through too. Never ceases to surprise me with how capable it actually is.

[@liambrunt1533]

2010 Pathfinder, had timing chain done at 96000, EGR cooler split at 105000. Apart from that been one of the better 4wd I've had. Just starting to spend money on it and actually upgrading it instead of fixing.

[@theclan4adventures]

@@TJANDMAC long story short I used to race class 7 desert racing here in the states so before anyone was doing titan swaps I built the the long travel set up I have using the stock parts just modified to suit my needs. The current set up on my truck right now was the first kit I made and are 4" wider per side witch is 1" wider than running a titan control arm swap. I built a 7inch wider race kit that is on a freinds 05 pathfinder if you google r51 pathfinder overland you will find pics of his truck..its running fiberglass fenders for a frontier and a roof top tent custom built rear bumper with twin swing outs..I was using bilstein 5100"s with a custom spacer originally but after the market started making parts for titan swapped xterra's I switched to a radflo front shock with 600lbs springs.. rear is armada 4x4 springs with relocated upper shock mounts and rs9000's. Almost have everything I need for a solid axle swap in the rear but I pull 10" of travel in the rear as is. 14" up front strapped to keep the cv's safe lol. I'll post up a video maybe this weekend all the stuff I've learned over the last 10 years on these trucks seems to be handy for most so I'll share it as I can..

[@jonhughes8512]

Had a 2008 Ti 2.5diesel for just over 6 years (last of the Spanish build). I liked it as a vehicle to drive and very practical, but it cost us a lot of money in repairs. First old mechanic advised not to buy one, I should have listened to him. Current mechanic (a 4WD & diesel specialist) said the same thing, has seen far too many issues and poor design on these. Just under 2 months ago, engine cut out after making a funny noise. Returned to the mechanic and the engine was stuffed, economically beyond repair, probably crankshaft broke. It had done less than 170,000. Now gone to a Toyota. If you have one of these I hope it lasts, but it is not known for its reliability. I notice a few comments about being maintained properly. Mine was, not driven offroad, minimal and light towing. Any car can go wrong but some are more likely to.

Otherwise I tow a 3ton RV with a petrol no problem and does all my off-road tracks with almost no issue. Fully independent suspension makes it very nice when cruising down the tracks with a bad lower back😁. Automatic gearboxes are the way to go with the traction control system on these. 4low and slow, constant throttle is the key. Just let the computers work it out and it gets you through Everytime.

I've got a 2008 Pathy ST-L the same colour. I know mine's got 3.55 diff gears and 31 spline axle shafts, which is nice and strong for its size. So it goes hard in 4x4 on wet bitumen (160km/h) and hasn't broken anything there. I've blown the head a couple times for different reasons like the same little plastic radiator hose overflow point you showed in this vid, and one time cranking the A/C on a 3hr trip home one hot summer's day when I wasn't watching the temp gauge and it ran out of water. Since being rebuild with new injectors it's got WAY more torque. Freaky torque for a turbo diesel 4 (Auto). The only mod I have is cross-drilled/slotted brake rotors. Are your tyres 35s? Also, what suspension upgrade did you use? I'm looking at Superior Eng., but I know there's other options and would like to hear your opinion. I'm also looking at an LS conversion from POWERCURVE ($25-30 grand) with a 6x6 from 6x6 AUSTRALIA ($60-70 grand including wagon extension bodywork). My mortgage is a little more important ATM. Mod possibilities in Australia are only limited by budget, hey?

@@TJANDMAC I don't know the injectors did it. Maybe, but...? I just found ya video with the 35s. Intrepid effort. I like ya style. I still reckon my mechanic did a little something special to my engine, but I dunno what. Other than the new injectors, 2.75" S/S exhaust, 3rd head, and the snorkel, it's standard as.

I was looking at Pathfinders as Im looking for a 4x4 and started doing research on them. I stumbled across this video, got to 3min and have now decided not to get one.

Hey man I have a d40 navara pretty similar to the pathy, how would you rate the pathy going through hard 4b tracks? Have u done some real fucked up rutted tracks or just more intermediate stuff ?

[@TJANDMAC]

yeah i did one track where it nearly rolled and the other guys could just flex through, but i still made it on my own so that says something for the pathfinder i guess haha about the only difference would be the rear flex for the d40, however i think the wheel base is slightly shorter for the pathfinder which gives it a slight advantage in some situations, i could be wrong about that... it might be the same as a d40

[@travisfontaine3911]

Can you let me know what you did to your pathy please

[@antongribkov8172]

Hey. What wheels and tires do you have on Nissan Pathfinder? I like them :) Russia

[@TJANDMAC]

[@antongribkov8172]

Thanks🙏 good road and travel

[@erhardt1477]

G-day mate... I’m getting one in Germany 🇩🇪 👍 Not sure about the 35 inch tires... might not fit in the garage 😜

[@Zackary-gp7eh]

Over here in Canada I’ve got a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder it never misses a beat the best car I’ve owned by far for reliability

[@user-kg9cv4rr8j]

Really how?

[@b-rad9830]

Hey TJ, have you done, or are planning to do anything to address the clear coat cancer on the Pathy and the surface rust in the roof sills? I've got a D40 Nav from the same year with exactly the same issue 😞

[@bigoil48]

Same on my 06

[@TJANDMAC]

yeah, i may wrap it, or just get the bonnet and roof re done, not sure its worth the cost however, the entire car is pretty rough... lol

[@b-rad9830]

@@TJANDMAC yeah I know the feeling man. Hard to justify the cost. Shitty DIY patch jobs it's most likely gonna be!
