I am interested in the notion of substituting the 2003 for a 2002 manifold and why, but the 1600 or 3200 is out of control, completely, even if you were to do...
I strongly Recommend you replace the manifolds with Doug Thorley Headers. It will be cheaper, you will have better gas mileage, better power and they hold up...
Doug Thorley does not make a header for a 2002 Xterra. SLR or Spencer Low Racing was the company that made them and they are out of business. You would also...
The headers keep them. They are 50 State legal headers. Steven Lutz "SteeevO" c: 909.374.0711 Rugged Rocks Off Road <http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com> Crawler...
the Pathfinder 3.0 header will bolt up to that motor. and even if you need to have an exhaust shop rerun all the pipe you are still looking at spending a lot...
The Xterra motor is a 3.3, not a pathfinder 3.0. Going directly to the Dougthorley.com site, there is only a listing for the 3.3 Frontier, a different animal....
I have a 2004 nissan xterra 6 cyl with about 28,000 miles on it, and am now told the power steering box needs to be replaced. Cost for part - 2,400, cost for...
Yes, the part is $2400, though $1200 labor is insane considering it takes a couple of actual hours tops for a pro to do the job and I can't see a shop billing...
Also, if it's just leaking, try a bottle of power steering stop-leak before you shell out any more money on it. Nissan lists replacement seals for the early...
I wouldn't worry about a crack, mine has been cracked for several years and has caused no problems at all. There's no bargain to be had here sort of getting a...
There's nothing in the service manual to that level of granularity, I'd say just take the panel off the inside of the door and see what you can make of it....
Hello - Got a 2001 Xterra 6 cyl with 114k iles on it. Lately its been making a rattling noise at idle and when revving. After popping the hood, I narrowed the...
Could be the rotor under the cap, or yes, it could be the bearings. Take the rotor off, being careful not to drop/lose the screw (you may need to bump the...
Thanks for clearing that up Brent. For people that dont know the particulars, its appreciated that you clarify. About the 2002-2003 exhaust manifold scoop, I...
Nope, thats not mine. Maybe mine has a pre-cat but it is long and the pieces are welded last time I looked, LOL. Possibly Ca. emissions then ?? Or something...
Here's the text on the existing headers for the xterra. "comes with primary 02 sensors fittings. Sounds like plug and play. 2000-2004 Xterra 3.3L V-6...
There are only the 2 styles, and the only year that had CA emissions was 2000, 2001-2004 were 50-state setup. the 2000 non-CA models were the same as far as...
Yup, thats them. Small too. The shields obscure seeing if they are welded or whatever. I dont reember a sharp bend though. but then i havent been under the...
You don't really see the sharp bend, but you can tell that the rear cylinder has to travel forward a few inches to the point where all 3 come together before...
I have a 2001 xterra with about 140k miles on it. I have (in the last 6 months) replaced the timing belt, thermostat, radiator, serpentine belts, and heater...
I am having the exact same problem, I too have approx 140,000 miles and replaced the timing belt, thermostat, radiator, serpentine belts maybe a year or two...
I also hava a 2001 & had the same problem @ 105,000 miles when I had my timing belt work done. The mechanic noticed wear & leaking around the intake plenum...
I have a 2002 and shortly after the timing belt and water pump scenario was done at 110k, I almost overheated. It had run perfectly coming from the shop and if...
They did a pressure test on my coolant system and a block integrity test to see if there were exhaust fumes in my overflow. Both came back fine. BUT, I'm still...
I went thru the exact same thing with my 2001 X after getting the time belt and wwate pump replaced. Give me a day and I'll pull out my paper work and see...
I am having the same exact problem with my 2005 X. i was below the minimum line for coolant and wasnt getting hot air when idling. took it to nissan and...
