Picked up my new Safari this weekend. Goes mint. Got the mitsi sorted mid week so that now has a wof and reg so will be starting mods on that so I can use that off rd until the Safari is up to the task.

FORGE1

Fitted a 2inch lift to the old ladies 80 series.

Drowned Safari (Water over half of the roof)

claim accepted and being taken away tomorrow. No pics as phones and camera went in the water and mates helping out get the kids out. Time to go shopping.

Huge thanks to Scruff123 for your help.

At a guess I reckon it could be one of the injectors is stuffed. Do the old screw driver up to the ear on all of the, and see if that narrows it down bro.

Picked up a 1998 mitsi challenger v6 for $500 only needs a new exhaust flexi and she's going again. Give it to the mrs for a toy as she complains its boring in the passengers seat.

FORGE1

That's no good I only filled out my entry form today haha. Owell will keep an eye on the outcome. Hopefully something can be arranged.

When I fitted one I didn't use one. Just gasket goo.

FORGE1

Haha saw this. What a joke. Wouldn't have been a "successful" recovery if it snapped and hurt someone!!!

Hey man, nah I ended up going for the Maxxis Bighorn 764s. By the time I worked out freight it wasn't worth getting them. If your in the South Island it's probably worth it.

Got my ones from here but via trademe. $75 to the door. Fitted easy as.

No rubbing now

Is there anything else I should consider? security system including phone alert / gps tracker, cobra alarms have waterproof sirens, don't bother with the "5 star" systems A good one to consider is Warlock Car alarms. We just had their pager system fitted to my wife's WRX so far so good. T...

Ill start this one off.

Trimmed the rear guards on the safari to stop rubbing at full flex.

Also fitted diff spacers to the front control arms to stop rubbing as well.

Tomorrow I might go and test it out.

Hey Mate, My brother has a 24v Landcruiser. The smoke when cold is quite a comon thing. His can sit on idle and puff it out and it clears once warm. His one doesn't leak at the sunroof so I can't comment on that. He hasn't had any issues with leaking power steering so again can't comment on that. Al...

That looks like a minter. I would love to experience GQ Patrol ownership at some point, but the variations in prices on Trademe seem to be absolutely insane. It would be cool to find a bone stock one that had never been offroad. Yeah she was pretty tidy when I got it. Previous owner was a old guy w...

This was my first safari I owned.

Looks exactly how I sold it just now has A/Ts and manual hubs. Plenty of time and funds went into it esp fitting the pto.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=733670388

I sold it for $9,000 so shows how they can keep their value.

FORGE1

Yes will fit on your bighorn. I ran 15x8s on my 1995 swb bighorn.

I used this post to get the info I needed to fit legacy seats in my safari. I ended up using google.co.nz (searched wrx seats into nissan safari) and went to the Images tab and was able to get the pics from there. Its all there in the first 10 rows just scattered throughout. Hope that helps Quite ea...

After going through a salt water stream last weekend in Tepora I decided to rust treat the safari. 4 cans of fish oil later and all done. Got bored and decided nows a good time to order some new tyres. Got a set of 33s maxis bighorn 764s on the way. Also wof's coming up next month and near bald tyre...

FORGE1

So this price seems really cheap considering I can't get them for under $420 locally. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=724094016 Can anyone advise if this place in Chch is any good? They told me I had to arrange my own freight to whangarei which is fine but wouldn't have a clue who to...

Gave the safari a birthday today New oil engine, transfer, box and diffs. Got to use a mates workshop. Made life way easier has a hoist for each wheel got to tinker with flex etc lol. Perks of using truck hoists. Also replaced a axle seal on a mates safari. Tomorrow's task install prs and cb before ...

Is the track open now? I was thinking of going up the Te Aroha side while down there if possible. Only closed on Weekdays from 5am - 4pm. Weekends and evenings are all good, few of the guys in our club went up a few weekends back, looking alright at the moment too Awesome, thanks I'll be going thro...

Anything left over you can drop the down the road if its easier haha. I won't say no to left over free bits.

Sorry just saw there was this question. I'm not sure what was wrong with the distributor, all I know is when trying to start it would not spark on all 8 and since its been replaced its all good on the spark side I just need to figure out the last of the ticking issue the it will be done.

FORGE1

Yeah mate will be interesting to see if they fit inside the rear guards or not. Next playday will be Jan at this stage :) How did the tyres go with flexing up? Did you change anything for trailing arms etc? I just swapped my 15x8s for some 15x10s but looks like I might have made a mistake as I'm lo...

Haha couldn't have said it any better. I'm going to be selling a car in a couple of weeks and once that's gone that's my tyre $$ haha. No doubt these will sell before then lol and there will be nothing for sale.

FORGE1

Dam why do they always come up when I have no $$. Good luck with the sale. If they are still there in a few weeks I'll be keen.

FORGE1

Let there be life :) After many dead ends I think I have finally solved the problem. I had a mate come over and we did some more testing on the old girl turns out it wasn't sparking properly. Coil - check Module - check Leads - check Plugs - check Distributor - no go It would spark all 8 first time ...

Swapped my 15x8s for some 15x10s and went to a mates workshop and got the Safa on the hoist haha those truck hoists are pretty sweet how they go under each wheel. Did some tints its on he back windows 5% did the trick just need to do the fronts at 35%. A few weeks back fitted the sliders off Curlys ...
