Why are you flagged like that?
I’m not sure, haven’t been able to find much info on it but it might be related to moving and not transferring registration. Doesn’t seem to have any bearing on registering in the new county though.Why are you flagged like that?
add this to the list of things I didn’t know I neededkevlar arm sleeves
The point of the brackets is so the coolant hoses aren't bent out of their natural shapes. Any air in the system?
I just looked into a writeup on the "other forum" that discussed it. There's a LOT of repinning to do to the connector and you have to add a wire for the illumination.I've been spending so much time in rental cars for work lately that now when I get in the X I really miss the audio controls on the steering wheel. I'm close to finishing a purchase of a brand new OE leather wheel with the illuminated cruise and audio controls for about a hundred bucks.
I'll have to test the colors on the controls once I get it, I doubt they match the interior colors I put on the rest of the controls (5K white) so I might have to change those out as well. Offhand I have no idea what's involved with a steering wheel replacement so I'm about to pull up the FSM but if anyone has pointers they'd be appreciated.

I'm not sure if using a pathfinder clock spring would fix that or not. Need to dig some more.
I forget, what deck do you have in there? If you’re doing all that for the wheel controls, might want to go the next step and look into deck integration with voice/Bluetooth control for your phone. Do it all at once if that’s something you’d be thinking about later if not already.
The Xterra controls aren't back-lit like the Pathy controls. That's where all the rewiring comes in.When I did mine I went with the pioneer AVIC-W6400NEX and followed that one tutorial on “the other site” that detailed the deck, wheel integration and camera/backup bypass all in one. Still had to add the Metra wheel control add-on module to get my factory wheel controls to work, but that’s cuz I already had them factory as part of the Rockford Fosgate system. I also wanted wireless CarPlay so that compounded my install. You may have a very unique situation with wheel controls not designed for your X and trying to add aftermarket equipment on top of it. If that’s your headed path, look into the iDatalink with Maestro and compatible decks. They may make things simpler even though they’re pricey. My info also may be out of date from doing my deck 3 years ago.
I want to do a heated 14 Titan wheel. Or a 19 Altima wheel.
Just to warn everyone, save yourselves a lot of time and never read any "tutorials" on modding the X steering wheel for a Pathy one. Forgive me but, a bunch of idiots guessing at wires. After two attempts I broke down and pulled the wheel and clockspring and used my multimeter to check where each wire led. So frustrating for how low quality the info was on this.
Thanks Prime, it took forever but man, the things everyone were listing made absolutely no sense. FFS, I'll probably do my own (That's is the right way. Multimeter all the things.
Congrats on getting it done.
To be fair.... The average driver intelligence in Cincinnati is reeeeeaaaalllly low.
We drove up to Cincinnati on Friday during the remainder of the storm, unbelievable how many people slid off the roads on 75N. This was the first time I've really used the Duratracs on icy roads and they performed flawlessly. At one point we had to go up an ice covered on ramp, uphill and basically a giant loop at the same time which several other cars got stuck on in front of us and had to back down and give up. We drove up it with basically no wheel spin at all. Great tires.
Well yeah, but I’m from Atlanta. This place is like heavenTo be fair.... The average driver intelligence in Cincinnati is reeeeeaaaalllly low.
Well mine lasted the previous owner a decade in the salt belt before I ripped them and everything else out under there. They had rust, but so did everything else too. Totally agree not much of a recall notice. Maybe it’s transferable to anyone buying them second hand on the cheap. OEM replacements that could outlast what they’re throwing them on? Helps out the flat bed tow truck operator?I got a recall notice in the mail, haven't seen one of those in years from Nissan. Doesn't apply to me since I replaced mine a few years ago but it's for lower control arms replaced between 11/2009-5/2010. Apparently the welds can break where the bushings are mounted. Kind of crazy given they're talking about a part made over a decade ago, I'd think all the ones that could break would have already done it by now.
For anyone who hasn’t replaced the lowers or the bolts for the lowers, it would be a good chance to do that (at Nissan’s expense). Those bolts can be rust welded in there.
For maintenance items, OE is the only way to go.
