Gearboxes are weak in them.
What sort of engine? I am assuming its a Z24, they can have rattly timing chains & prone to blown head gaskets but both are easily fixed. I have replaced many of them with linked chains if the guides are OK. Just make sure you stop the tensioner from falling out or you you will be in a world of hurt.
The front diffs are a bit weak but only if punished, most of them last the life of the car.
Apart from that they have a pretty tough chassis & body. Body can be prone to rust but that was everything built up until about 88 that cam from Japan.
Most other stuff you will see like trim, door seals ect.
Not a bad old truck except for the lack of power. Needed a V6 from the start.

Got a 90 model pathfinder.
definately needs more power, haven't managed to break anything on it yet, it still kicks over first start. the alternator is in a bad spot though, prone to filling with mud and gunk :(
After having it for a while now, i think that it is a fairly nice soft roader, its capable as an ifs can be, but i think the trans is starting to go in mine, i've been a bit rough with it over the years.

Sounds like a sweet deal, for $300 you can't go wrong and by the sounds of it you know your shit. And any way, like was said earlier, at least it's not a commodore or something, should be good. Not surprised she's over the moon about, and her opinion of it is the only one that actually counts anyway isn't it?
