How long does it take to install a catalytic converter on a 2005 nissan pathfinder SE?

March 2nd, 2010

According to the service department at Nissan, it will take a whole day……..and i have to have my car at the shop at 7:30 a.m for them to start on it and get it done by the time they close at 5:30 p.m. Does it really take that long and why?

more than likely yes. exhausts are a real pain to work on, the parts rust fast and often have to be cut off, or have bolts drilled out. the actual replacement of the cat is only a unbolt and bolt back on precess in a perfect world. its getting to it, getting it off, and making sure everything is leak proof that takes a while. plus im sure they are union and will require two breaks :)

I have a 92 pathfinder that only starts when I jump it. New Battery, new sparkplugs, wires and cap. Thoughts?

most peole will respond Alternator, so i will assume if you are still reading this you checked that, and its ok, if the alternator tests ok and the battery is good, but you keep having problems It is your Chassis ground from the engine block causing high resistance in the charging circuit, run a wire directly from a solid point on the engine to the negative battery terminal, this will solve your problem

Nissan Pathfinder good tow vehicle?

February 28th, 2010

are the newer pathfinders years (2005-2008) good tow vehicles?? It tows 6000 it says for the v6 and i don’t want to get the v8. I have a boat that weights 2300 do you think it would pull it like nothing is back there? and has anyone ever seen anyone towing with a newer pathfinder? Thanks!
P.s i don’t want a truck so don’t say get a truck

You will need to make sure you have the Nissan towing light harness installed. Trailer harness either 7 pin or 4 pin plugged in to the plug on the left rear frame under the truck. In the right kick panel some Nissan relays and jumper wiring harness to protect your pathfinders wiring harness. A good hitch & Pin in your receiver and 2,300 pounds won’t be a problem at all to tow. Gas mileage suffers when towing but gas mileage in the boat out on the water is even worse. But hey it is recrecreation right! Make sure your truck and boat keys have floats. On different rings.

2003 Pathfinder wouldn’t start jumped it started up how do i know if i need a new battery?

February 26th, 2010

I have a 2003 pathfinder with the original battery in it. I went to start my car tonight and it wouldn’t turn over. I had triple A come and give me a jumpstart and it got me home. My question is how do I know if i need a new battery? I live in MA and soon enough it will be freezing here does that effect the battery? How do I know it’s not the alternator? Thanks!
Thanks for the responses. Any ideas on which battery is the best one out there?

If your alternator was bad the car would quit running shortly after you removed the jumper cables. Cold reduces the battery’s storage capacity, this is why a weak battery fails once the weather starts to get cooler. Just get a new battery.
The best battery out there right now is the Optima red top, if that one is too pricey for you, get whatever one has the highest cold cranking amps in the budget you are shopping for. 720 cold cranking amps and above is very good.

My 1997 Nissan Pathfinder just got 4 new Yokohama tires.?

February 24th, 2010

But I had to get the truck aligned at a different location. Midas aligned the truck for 69.99. Well, at 65mph- and up the steering wheel shakes just a little and the truck pulls to the side a bit. This was happening before with the old set of tires. Could it be that Midas just took my money and f#@!*&* me over or do most pathfinders ride a bit rough on the freeway? The shocks are newer as are the tie rods. Any suggestions? The tires are Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G051
P235/75R-15 108S XL. I want some expert opinions before I go back to Midas and be an as*hole to the guys there.
Discount tires mounted and balanced the tires.

you might have two problems.

wheel shaking at certain speed is wheel balancing is off.

for pulling to side is alignment being off. Find a flat road and go about 20-30mph and let go of steering wheel and see if it goes straight. The road in my area are slight curve to right for water drain so make sure your road is flat. if you think is still mess up ask to take service adviser for 5mins test ride and show him your problem.

dont forget to check tire pressure.

Where the Vikings really as brutal & violent as the new movie "Pathfinder" makes them out to be?

February 22nd, 2010

I meant to say "were" not "where". Ugh…
The movie "pathfinder: Legend of the Ghost Warrior" coming soon here in the States. I guess it’s based on a graphic novel.

In the movie the come to America, brutalize the Native Americans, and leave a child behind who must fight the Vikings when they return. Sounds corny, but I’m sure I’ll rent it.

I’m curious because I’m mostly of Scandinavian descent. Great answers, keep ‘em coming.

Yes and no. Like every other society, they went through a period where being brutal and violent was tolerated. But most Vikings in ships came to trade, even in the "bad old days" and were often their victims were their own people.

Also it was the time of the movement of the peoples after the fall of the Roman empire, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Celts and Scandanvians, moved around Northern Europe at will and many joined Attilla the Hun and others in the sacking of Rome.

In pre-history all the "Northern Peoples" can all be traced back to the same area of middle Europe and during the Roman period all were noted for being migratory.

New DNA evidence shows that the Celts and the Vikings were fairly close and intermarried. Even Scottish legends claim the Celts in Scotland and the Vikings were once one people and a nation of loosely connected tribes and clans.

The Vikings were also the victims of timing and bad press. Because their exploits took place after the fall of the Roman Empire, they were written about and distrubuted all around the known world. Written and spoken Latin was the lingua franca of the Dark and Middle ages and the Viking raids were written down and read by others all over Europe and parts of Asia and Africa.

No doubt some embellishment was made to make the tales more saleable by the scribes who sold them. People were getting tired reading Homer’s stories, the Aenid, Horace’s poems and wanted some new stories. The Viking raids came along at just the right time.

2006 Nissan Patherfinder SE question?

February 18th, 2010

I just purchased a 2006 pathfinder with 29k. Love it, but am very concerned about this so called auto hill descent control feature. It is the SE model but does not have a hill descent control option/feature. I brought it to our local Nissan dealership and the tech tells me this is normal, on Pathfinders, and other nissan trucks/suv’s. When I am on a hill and begin braking, the tranny automatically begins slowing me down or keeping me at the same speed. What concerns me is, if this is activated over 55mph the RPM’S are over 3000… with my foot off the gas!? When I try and disengage it can be a bit of a struggle to click the tranny out of this. Is this normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hill decent control and hill holding only works when the G-Sensor sees the truck at 10% grade and only while traveling very slow. HDC on 4×4 models uses the brakes and trans to ease the truck down the hill at around 5 MPH or less Your question is mis leading If your pathfinder does not have that option. Coasting and engine braking of an automatic trans is computerized I do not know how you would change the way the truck deaccelerates.
