Curious if anyone has put and engine oil cooler on their first gen, 1st gens tend to run hot a tad hot on not a ton of oil so I wanted to see what would be involved in putting a mini radiator up the the engine oil. I’ve seen little sandwich adapters online for the filter but im not sure if there...

I'm trying to do some high-level investigating into where I might be leaking coolant and trying to learn more about this particular hose in the attached photos. Unlike most other hoses under the hood, this one has quite a bit of play in it. The lower part of it is wrapped in a what looks like...

Does anyone know if there is a kit for the hundreds of hoses (exaggeration of course) that go on the intake manifold fo the 1st gen V6? I want to replace them all and honestly don't know if I have them all to begin with. If there isn't a kit does anyone know what all of the hoses are or where I...

Good morning! This is my first post on this forum, and I apologize in advance for any terms I misuse or simply don't know. I'm here to learn, so feel free to correct me! I'm not much of a car guy (yet). I've got an '03 XTerra 3.3L with a VG33E V6 engine, just over 203,000 miles. For the last...

2004 Xterra 4wd VG33E engine Just shy of 200k Runs fairly well. I have only had it since January. Nonethtless, i have been testing it out. Even after a heavy snow storm, doing some tree clean up work for neighbors up the varyious unplowed hills. A bit under powered. Yet, that was not...

It has stock leather seats which I have yet to see on any other one of these and really low miles so she's got a lot of...

I have a VG33E in there now and just inherited the small block with the house I bought. The timeline isn’t anytime soon, but I know I’ll eventually need to put a new engine in my X with my mileage I’ve got..260k. Alternatively, what types of engines have people put into a first gen? I know I’m...

Hi All, Does anyone have a diagram, parts list, or just know what the bolt sizes and bolt grades are for the upper and lower intake manifold and valve covers on the VG33E engine? I am planning on replacing the knock sensor and leaky valve cover gaskets on the 2003 Xterra XE and would also...

Full disclosure...this is a 2000 VG33E frontier(125,000 miles), I've found more helpful information here while researching than elsewhere so I'm posting here. My truck died at idle while waiting for road construction at the bottom of a mountain pass...far from cell service. After it had died it...

Hello; So I'm fairly new to this site, just bought a 2000 Xterra 3.3v6 because of the excellent body and style. Turns out has a bad head gasket the previous owner drove it on and overheated it a few times. the 3.3 VG33E are notorious for bad fuel economy, anyone know of another motor that...
