G16 or 1NT (maybe g13 if its a minter)

Hey,
I'm after a g16 or a 1NT to go into my sj413. The old 1.3 has decided that it wants to fart blue and drink loads of oil.
I'm located in Oxford Canterbury but will get one shipped if it's a good price. Cheers guys
Will also have a g13 if it's a really good one.

Re: 1kzte surf drama

The engine ran for a max of 20 seconds after the bang. I pulled right over enfine off and lifted the bonnet. Was really concerned that I jad blown the head. Is removing the auto gearbox a big job?

Re: topo maps

I went to map world and brought fresh maps it was a bit pricey but WORTH every cent!!! You get the country topo map in multiple scales then in 3d too. Also how get land ownership boundaries. Payed around $150 for the whole south island about 2 years back.

Make it so the cops can swing round over to your place and take you out to a range with your rifles. Make sure you can shoot them and use the saftey correctly.
