I have the 98 qx4. Just did the front and rear coil springs with new struts up front, and both front axles and control arms and a new rack and pinion. I am not a mechanic by trade, but i like working on my own cars. That is one thing i love about this car, it is really easy to work on. At least when there is no rust on them. The resale value sucks but for as good as it does in snow and ice, i will keep fixing it cause i love how well it does in the winter.
Beautiful! I'm also a sucker for that styling. I wish mine was in that condition. Currently, at 179k with some rust and a few other odd ball issues. I've seriously considered getting an upgrade, but when I crank it and take off I am always reminded how much I love it. It's just smooth. And it's a beast in the snow. Thanks for the video.
You have to be very proactive with rust prevention...there are products out there that can help dissolve rust and defintely undercoat the frame especially around the strut towers. Cheers
There’s something special about this generation. Perfect size whether you have a family or just want something to drive for yourself. Almost looks like a 2 door with the grab handle. Just really cool. Plus this one has the powerful. 3.5L V6. Very reliable. Too bad they were very expensive when new at least in Canada. Somewhere around $55,000 20 years ago.
That looks to be in fine shape. When I was searching for mine I was really surprised by the fact that on the used market, Pathfinders of the same year and mileage would sell for more than the better equipped QX4.
I have the same QX4 last manufactured in 2003 in the 2WD option. No butt warmers, though who needs them here in Texas! Still runs very strong. I agreed with you, they don’t make these kind of vehicles anymore. These models are fast becoming classic collections.
Nice the tri spokes are tuff, Thinking about importing all the cladding grill for my 99 Pathi from Japan,that infinity model never made it to Australia.
A fun tidbit about the Infiniti QX4, is that their drivetrain has more in common with the Nissan Skyline GT-Rs of the same era, in that it uses the same ATTESSA AWD system, abeit in automatic transmission. It was also sold in Japan as Nissan Terrano Regulus, where as the normal version, with the Nissan Pathfinder drive train, is sold as the Nissan Terrano.
I bought one last fall, it is the best 3grand i have spent. The drive is smooth and the engine is very quiet. Love the power and it looks forward to any snowstorm yet inside it feels like you are in a vault
I have a 98 with 135,000 miles when i got it. I paid $2,895 U.S. dollars.. that was 6 years ago. Now it has 197,000 miles and i replaced all suspension and steering for just under 1500$ with me doing the work. I also did the timing belt and front crankshaft seal myself for 135$ they are super easy to work on if you have common sense and basic tools.. I live in north idaho.
These as the Pathfinder have the VQ 35de engine 2000 thru2008 it was Ward's List #1 engine 7 years straight .My 2001 Pathfinder has 198,000 no leaks,no smoke ,dip stick reads full between changes the best engine ever made by Nissan, the best brakes on the market,the transmission is Jatco the tier 1 of tranny's,,Toyota only follows while PATHFINDER SETS THE STANDARDS!! PERIOD!
This was back when SUV's were SUV's. Body on frame and could actually be offroaded. I own a loaded pro4x '23 titan and i love it. Owned multiple g35's and a Q60 3.0T. I think nissans saving grace will be the new Z but who knows.
Did u buy it? I owned one with 300k for $500 and drove it til 500k it had a new subframe when I bought it so I didn’t spend much no engine or tranny issues and it was pretty quick
It could be the Rear Main Seal. When I got rid of my 2001 Qx4 4x4, the RMS started to leak(drips under the car, and oil pan/drain was wet every time I checked) around 210,000 miles mark. I bought it used from an original owner.
The Infiniti FX series are not related to the Nissan Murano. It is closer to the Infiniti G-series and the Nissan 350Z, as these all use Nissan's FM platform for RWD based drivetrains. The Murano is closer to the Infiniti I35/Nissan Altima.
I appreciate it. I wasn't sure what I'd think either, but it was like giving the truck a free lift once I did. No, I sold the QX4 a while back. I'll definitely have another at some point, I just want one in a black/black combo. Any videos on yours?
I wish my QX4 had the heated seats it went through driving as with off reading the suspension takes a beating it does run good the only negative side is the power antenna that can never survive a car wash it would be better if the antenna is built in that's not motorized and could have the navigation stereo with six cd changer. I don't know about the airbags do work all the way around or have the keyless button other than a key to disengage the anti theft alarm as well as know about the interior fuse box the information is too small to read even with glasses that has two in size lettering
It's a shame where Nissan/Infiniti stands today in the U.S. market. In the late 90's to mid 00's they were producing some really great cars/SUVs. The Pathfinder, Xterra, Hardbody, Maxima, etc. were all quality made vehicles. The Frontier and Titan are still good vehicles, but are not the right vehicles to compete in the U.S. market.
@Bret C Couldn't agree more. Not to mention, the Z32 300zx, 240sx etc. They were a true enthusiast company at the core back then, but we're hemorrhaging money at the same time.
I have a 2001 that I bought brand new, now it has 78K, kept it in good shape. It really is a beautiful car. The AC control is very strange as auto is the only setting.
@toni ortiz, it depends how bad the leak is. If it's minor, I would leave it and just drive the car. Keep the oil level checked. That price is pretty accurate for the amount of work involved. It's a big job and would range anywhere from $1000-1500 on average.
We LOVE our gold Infiniti QX4 2001 -- 20 years old & still driving!
This is actully a copy of a 1996 nissan pathfinder or terrano as some countires call it
Does it require premium gas?

Love love LOVE my Black/Black 03 QX4! Just hit 160k and still plenty of miles left 🤗

Beautiful truck.... that thing is a tank, it stands out, and can hold its own among SUVs....super reliable, too.
Molarois Morais, thank you for the kind words! I've since sold it, and can only hope it's still around today.
I have one and it’s a 2001 and I absolutely love it.great video
Nice the tri spokes are tuff, Thinking about importing all the cladding grill for my 99 Pathi from Japan,that infinity model never made it to Australia.
On the 04 Platinum Pathfinder you get that gauge pack like the Qx4
Have the same, love it.best car iv ever owned!
Thanks for this! I grew up with theses and the 4 runners. Where I’m from the in Caribbean this type of vehicle is necessary live it!!!!

Never heard that the QX4 had the ATTESSA system. Interesting.
My 2004 pathfinder has only 183,000 kms on it. Love my pathfinder!
@MOST The Games, that one's still a baby! I recently picked up a 2007 Armada with 141k miles. It's a different experience for sure!
One of these popped up for sale in my town and I’m highly considering taking a look at it
Wow super clean find
I got this for my first car from my grandpa I love it
I have the same exact one and I love it!
Me too!
I do luv my 03 Pathfinder. I keep mine in A1 condition. Only 220K Km's on mine
I have a question the headlights what are the different blue lens on them ?
I bought one last fall, it is the best 3grand i have spent. The drive is smooth and the engine is very quiet. Love the power and it looks forward to any snowstorm yet inside it feels like you are in a vault
Lol, I just commented the exact same thing before scrolling to see this. Agreed!
How many miles and what is the condition of the ones you got for 3k?
I have a 98 with 135,000 miles when i got it. I paid $2,895 U.S. dollars.. that was 6 years ago.

@@Breakern9n3 righteous 🤙🏾
Anybody know if this shares the same drive train as a Frontier? If so I think it can be v8 swapped from an armada. Those 3 spokers look great 👍

I also love the wheels. The classic Saab 900 spg had 3-spoke wheels, as well as the 9000 aero models.
I found 1 with 290k on it and an undiagnosed oil leak. It looks damn near brand new though. Its $1300. Would you suggest buying it?

how do you open the rear glass hatch only

@trpclfvr You're correct sir. I appreciate the heads up!
Yup and FX didn’t have a cvt.
This would make a perfect overland build. Lift kit 33" tires. Super reliable vq engine a true 4x4 with solid rear axle, leather whats not to like
Just got an 03 from Florida. Im afraid it still has crabs.
I've got an 02 Pathfinder 5-speed. I'd love to swap my power train into a clean Q.
how many liter fuel need to 100 mile
I was thinking the same thing a manual would be nice the pathfinder only had a base interior with a manual
I am not sure but I think there is also a lever for the back seats to recline.
There is. At least in my 98.
@@Breakern9n3 I was just going to mention that. I have a 01 QX4 and yes the back seats recline. Something unique for an SUV in that era.
Que linda esta esa SUV a pesar de ser año 2001,esta disponible aun
eres guapo
Me venden una 1998 acá en tj americana, en mil dolares, me conviene?
Did you remove the running boards? Never seen a qx4 without them.
Sure did
I like it. I've been considering taking mine off but wasn't sure what it was gonna look like. You plan on putting on rock sliders?
I appreciate it. I wasn't sure what I'd think either, but it was like giving the truck a free lift once I did.
No, I sold the QX4 a while back. I'll definitely have another at some point, I just want one in a black/black combo.
Any videos on yours?
What did you pay for it ?
Qx4 means 4x4?
how to reset the air bag light

Should have opened the hatch and showed the space back there. Lift the the glass of the hatch. Maybe fold down the seats.
5:41 that noise freaked me out
Esta preciosa esa SUV
It's a R50 Pathfinder with a face change.
They lost money yes. Ghosn saved but in the end quality wasn´t saved but lowered.
But now it looks better.
I have a 2001 that I bought brand new, now it has 78K, kept it in good shape. It really is a beautiful car. The AC control is very strange as auto is the only setting.
تغطية جميلة👍
I have the 2002 model. It doesn’t look nearly as good as this one and it has an oil leak. 🙁
Pull the front wheels there should be an oil ring seal that needs replacing
@toni ortiz, it depends how bad the leak is. If it's minor, I would leave it and just drive the car. Keep the oil level checked.
That price is pretty accurate for the amount of work involved. It's a big job and would range anywhere from $1000-1500 on average.
It’s the oil cooler O ring. Easy to replace
Nice fuckikg car mate
I wish mine had 4WD
The only difference fog lights and painted door handles!,woodgrain
Nissan had to many sales In South texas to go anytime soon maybe
Are some where else but for sure sale in the USA
It's Q-by-4.
244,000
If u like a boring car u would love a fun jeep
If you like poor workmanship, and the ride quality of a stagecoach, definitely get a jeep.
@@nicknick9081 Fo realz 😆
Yo quiero saber si todavia esa QX4 esta viva y donde me interesa espero respuesta o un numero de telefono
