hello everyone, pwede bang makahingi ng comments about this pickup? binebenta kasi sakin ng tito ko for 200k negotiable pa.. i think 1996 model.. ano ba good and bad points nito.. tska madami ba available parts? kasi gusto ko din i-lift ng maximum 3 inches.. and put big tires.

tumitingin kasi ako dito sa old threads pero wala mashado info tungkol sa pathfinder eagle.. thanks

On the engine, as long as it's properly maintained there's no problem (very reliable TD27). Parts won't be a problem. The downside here is that it's somewhat sluggish as a performer due to the 4wd gearing and added weight (as compared to the similar engined Frontier). Ride will be bouncy too unless you do some mods to the suspension.

Things to check for would be the suspension, rust in the rear bed (check the under parts), and smoke emissions.

The price offer to you is quite good though...

salamat vinj, yung price neg pa yun. ü

ano ba mods na pwede gawin? ok ba i-lift ang pathfinder?
and meron ba ditong mga naka pathfinder na pwede mag comment about their pickups and kung anong mods ginawa nila? thanks

If I remember it correctly, may thorough review ang Top Gear Phils. sa pick-up na yan. Though 4x2 ang naka feature, you might be able to get some tips there.

the brakes are somewhat weak also. lift kits are available, trailmaster 4" lift. and yes its very sluggish. check mo ang rubber sa windshield, aircon trim always cracks. mga centerlink and tierods are the first to give way.

may pathfinder ako 94 model at terrano na converted, maganda ang td27, tiwala kami, matibay kasi hindi aluminum yung cylinder head so walang posibility na warp.. kaso lang mabagal- dahil sa differential nya hindi dahil mahina ang engine, so nagpalit ako ng differential from hilux yung 8:35 ang ratio, ayos na, malaki ang binilis.. yung about naman sa terrano, yung sakin nabili ko td27 with turbo, dun ala nakong binago, ayos ang takbo, hindi ka ibibitin,, kung may idadagdag ako, intercooler nalang kasi lang kasama yun.. Ayos ang mga td27, matibay talaga, kung gusto mong bumilis, ang differential lang ang gagalawin mo kasi low speed lang yung nilagay ng nissan although nilagyan nila ng tranny na high speed.. kahit yung surf ng brother ko pinalitan namin ng td27 kasi hindi talaga tumatagal ang engine ng surf, ngayon bumilis pa compared sa stock engine ng toyota surf..

try mo sa 4x4ph. may terrano/pathfinder club dun. baka may makatulong sayo.

para sa akin ok naman ang TD27 hanggang 2k rpm hehe. sabi nga nila, sa gearing yung problema kasi ramdam mo naman na malakas sya humatak. ang ok din sa kanya ay di sya mausok at matibay nga.

kakapalit ko lang ng balljoints last month. ang nilagay pang pathfinder 4x4 kasi pareho lang naman pangilalim nila ng terrano (except for the rear suspension. leaf spring ata ang pathfinder vs coils sa terrano). total price ng parts 3.9k (4 balljoints). i think ok na rin. at sa tagal na ng release ng engine at chassis (mula unang pathfinder/terrano up to the current 4x2 frontier and urvan), tingin ko madami nang parts available dyan at di naman kamahalan. dami pang subic/imported. at katatanong ko lang sa casa may mga available parts pa sila even for the 'rare' terrano, what more sa pathfinder. hth

pahabol, ang alam kong sakit ng early 90's pathfinder/eagle series e medyo rust-prone sya same as patrol safari. may nabasa ako na hindi ata maganda ang factory rust-proofing ng UMC nung time na yun.

TD27 Engine is very reliable. Kahit sa Isuzu na makina na nakakabit sa Hilander and Crosswind ilalaban ko yang TD27 engine ng Nissan. Nissan Pathfinder Pick up is not built for speed, but as a Multi Purpose Pick up. Kahit Hilux at L200 Strada hindi uubra sa Pathfinder in terms of durability ng Engine. Tested ko na TD25 and TD27 engine of Nissan. Change oil, tune up (adjustment of Valve Clearance), and replacement of fan belts lang maintenance niang TD27 Engine.
