1990 Nissan Pathfinder Reviews, Pricing & Specs

It has fairly good acceleration for an older manual. Engine problems, like a broken fan clutch. Its needed a new clutch, new brakes, new tires, a new radiator, and a new heating core since I bought it. Needs new engine bearings too. Exterior is rusty along the bottom and underneath. Interior looks like a god chewed most of it. Ha ha. It gets about 15 mpg right now. Needs oil quite often. But yes, I love driving it. Its a tough little truck.Dec 14, 2009

this truck and i saw many good times- if i could have kept him i would have, all spartan and bare i bought him off of some guy on craigslist who bought it new and gave him to his son, who hit a fence post with it and the father took it away and sold it, to me, the next day... so when i got him there was the hood was slightly dented in the right side, and that threw off the aerodynamics, and the hood wasnt what most would call 'stable' it squeaked... like there was a chipmunk living in the firewall compartment... which i told people when i got it the ignition wires were chewed, it had been wired for a 6 disc changer, which was not included... after i removed the wire, which was just buggin me... the stereo never quite worked right afterwards... my first oil change in LA they put 5w30 in it which was REALLY BAD- he sounded like a diesel truck and they didnt secure the oil filter (Goooo JIFFYLUBE!) and with the engine design of the Pathfinder it puts the poil filter directly above the starter... and what happens when you leak oil on an starter and it gets hot? who answered it kills the starter? i have such a smart class... so i had to jump start it ... for about a week... which is when i started my first job... Lucky me... then one time when i thought the alternator started getting funky on me, i uh... kinda used one of those portable battery starters... the wrong way... red on black and... caught one of the battery terminals on fire... Just a small zinc fire, i blew it out and after that i had no starting problems for a while... there was also that time when i was off to Vegas for Easter weekend and 75 outside of Vegas i killed my because a truck cut me off and i shifted down without using my clutch it kinda killed my flywheel... it was my first manual transmission, it was BOUND to happen some time...
