I've searched around this forum and a couple of others but I haven't been able to find anywhere that says what parts are interchangeable on the 1st gen frontiers. What I mean is, are there any parts from the xterra, pathfinder, or any other Nissan vehicle that will fit on the frontier?

No, in 2001 the Frontier got a facelift. 01-04 Headlights will not work. You can do a custom upgrade on your headlights tho and covert them to projector style with HID's or LED's

Below Is Info On How To Upgrade The Headlights For The Early 1st Gen Frontier / Xterra

Heres Another One I Had Saved. Its For a 1.5 Gen Xterra But Same Principal Applies

This Place Here Has Some Nice Kits To Do A Retrofit:

And This Guy Here Made A Video of "How To" Do It

You'd Be Surprised What Some Good LED's In Our Stock Assemblies Can Do Though. Check Out My Thread Below:

2013-2019 Frontier and 2013-2015 Xterra on the door...but they were "with" and "without" holes for the body side mouldings.
If you have a plastic bumper cover, 2009-2019 Frontier.
If you have a chrome bumper, the lower part was 2005-2019 and the upper part is 2009-2019.
For used parts, try Car-part.com

It is, but you'll need the 98's ECM and engine harness and will have to splice it into the Hardbody's main harness assembly. You'll also want to look to see if the 98 KA24DE has a crank sensor mounted through the transmission bellhousing. If it does, you'll need the transmission bellhousing that has the hole in it for the crank position sensor or will have to modify the 95 bellhousing. The D21's didn't have the crank sensor mounted in the bellhousing until the 96 & 97 model years, if my memory is correct. You'll have some exhaust mods to do, as well. Wiring Specialties can probably help you with the harness.

I have not done anything with my truck, just preventative maintenance and maintenance items on it. I originally was going to use it for some weekend off road adventures, but I ended up modifying my 2011 Pathfinder instead since I have 3 small kids also. I have done a full front suspension refresh with all Mevotech arms, Bilstein 4600 shocks, and new Timken inner & outer wheel bearings in the last three years. I'll be swapping out the KYB rear shocks for a pair of Bilstein 4600 shocks later this year also. I was thinking about installing Sway-A-Way torsion bars with a pair of 4x4parts UCAs, but probably won't happen anytime soon.

Mentioned earlier is the Hollander Interchange Manual. But you can check for this at your local library and if you're lucky, they'll have it. Pricey, but some libraries invested in this set years back. No longer in print but for 1st gen trucks, this resource is GOLDEN. I drive about 15 miles to a neighboring library where I open it up and take dozens of photos per visit. If I recall, the engine parts volume weighs over 5#.

sample


p.s. if anyone wants pages I collected for a 1983 Nissan 720, holla. I no longer need them. Sold my baby after 30 yrs of reliable service.

2011-2017 Juke and 2017-2019 Sentra use the same brake rotors.

No podría decírselo con seguridad, creo que no, pero he oído que la transmisión aumentará. Pueden usar la misma transmisión pero idk. No estoy seguro de con qué problemas de cambio podría encontrarse también. El arnés de la transmisión también podría ser completamente diferente. Pinout diferente o simplemente arnés diferente todos juntos.

El 03 tiene el motor VQ35 y el 98 tiene el motor VG33

Según sTeVeXNYCPerformance en YouTube, el VG33 trans se montará hasta el VQ35. Entonces, cualquiera de las transmisiones debe montarse en cualquier motor.

Rockauto.com has them in the $30-$50 range. There were several types, i.e. heated or non-heated or heated w/ memory. They come unpainted, though.

I doubt that’s doable but would think you’d be able to find a frontier in a wrecking yard somewhere near enough.
