Pathfinder-Trails If it ain't dirty, I ain't interested! Home About Me My Family Photos Holidays The CSCC Paddy This is Paddy, a 1986 Nissan Pathfinder ST. Mechanically, Paddy is completely std and so features a Z24i engine. Modifications include a bull bar and snorkel and tinted windows. This is the front cover of a 1988 brochure for the Australian spec. Nissan Pathfinder. This is the back cover of the Australian spec 1988 Nissan Pathfinder. 17 Dec 08... 24hrs after collecting Paddy off the boat, he gets some new wheels Looking at this 4x4, it's hard to believe it's 22 years old and in original condition! Paddy was built in October 1986. This is a 1986 interior. By today's standard it's very flimsy. But, soon all the interior will be removed and new sound insulation installed all around so that it's quiet and sounds solid. A Z24 Nissan Engine. A reliable but underpowered engine. When built in 1986 this engine produced 103bhp [77kw] and 130ft/lb [177nm] of torque. God knows what it produces today! The engine from the other side. Travelling at 70mph I've calculated i'm getting 24mpg from this engine. Not bad considering... Another side shot of Paddy. This time you can see his Airtec snorkel. A useful item to have. Final shot of Paddy's interior. I can't wait to get his new seats in. The old ones look ok but golly are they uncomfortable! Paddy's new steering wheel. It's so nice to hold a wheel where the rubber doesn't turn around the rim when the wheel is in the straight ahead position! One from a new pair of seats. New seats will help alot as the originals are now very uncomfortable. These are from a 1996 Honda Prelude. Now... if only I knew how to make the subframes to fit them. As you can see, a strip down has begun. I'm tired of 'poo brown' interiors. So, dash out, all interior out and will arrive back in car when painted black. You can see the new sound deadening in the door, on the outside an in. Nissan put none in. No wonder the car sounded like a tin can when on the move, closing doors and with the stereo on! I'm doing for the back as I am for the front. Here shows 23yrs of grime on the outside of the panel... if only you saw the inside! Perhaps you're glad you can't!! Here you can see the other side after plenty of meth. spirits. The silver you see is the new sound deadening material. It makes such a difference but I do think I'll put a second layer in.
