    I just wanna say that I never click the bell notification for any of the channels that I love and follow but you Ry are the only exception.
    I'll be ready to VK swap my X after your series is done because you encourage me.
    And for that I thank you sir.

    • @Rythecarguy
      @Rythecarguy  Рік тому +1

      Thanks so much! I keep trying to remember to keep the energy up. Even if I'm not feeling it 😄. Naw, no secret, I'm still on the fence but I am leaning toward using my titans engine. I specifically bought another Titan to replace the white one and I already rebuilt that VK so I know it's good and healthy. Plus I don't need to spend more money on it.

    Good video. I’m doing this swap on my pathfinder when the vq40 gives out and your making this look easy. I will definitely be following the build and I’m subbed. Also do you think the swap will be easier on my pathfinder since I don’t have 4wd?

    • @Rythecarguy
      @Rythecarguy  Рік тому +1

      It's looking like it's only a few extra steps for a 4WD and the pull will be a little easier (smaller/lighter transmission). But other than that it should be the same.

    Helluva job, but doable with basic tools and know how. Wish I had the time and energy to do a Titan swap. Would even go all out with an M205 differential and pathfinder shafts, full titan suspension swap.

      Weird right? Nissan calls the connection between the differential and the wheels the "drive shaft". From the transmission to the differential's, they call the propeller shaft.
