Fixing my cousins 07 X. Looking to replace the drivers seat base and then inner tie rods, rotors and front brake calipers. Any one know if Pathfinder seats and front end steering and brake parts are interchangeable. Tx
The only similarities that exist between Xterra and Pathfinder are the VGE class engines that only 1st generation Xterra ('99-04') and Pathfinder ('86-'95) were equipped with. However, the Pathfinder was only 3.0L and Xterra 3.3L so the parts are not interchangeable but the design is the same, Xterra (VGE33) being slightly larger than Pathfinder (VGE3).

This also goes for the interior and hardware. The 1st gen Pathfinder was Nissans off-road SUV until every soccer mom wanted one and demanded a better daily driver and smooth riding for family vacations so Nissan turned it into a minivan dressed up as a compact SUV. Then that is when the Xterra was born and took its name from a marathon that took place over land through rugged hiking domain.
