Pretty much everything you need to know about upgrading your Terrano can be found here... m check for worn bushes if your back end feels loose... I threw in a pair of king springs, munroe longer travel heavy duty shocks, re-indexed the torsion bars, and threw some blocks and bolts under the body ...

Something new like this seems pretty cheap... m I've gotta do my terrano CV's and am thinking about buying these $50 ones and doing the job myself. I've been quoted $150+ at Ripco per CV, and up to $275 per CV plus fitting at the Mechs... I guess the question is - Is it 700-800% better/more-reliable ...

Yeah thanks for organising that one Jerry! Big shout out to HighCountry for fessing up some gems! Warlord, your hands-on aproach to overcomming ramp-over deficiency is priceless!! Mad props to Saddam and his 8274 for keeping his symexs' on the ground and cleanig up the mess!!! I'm off to replace my ...

:) .... My best MPG so far on a road trip is 31mpg (5 people + luggage) Not too bad for an old diesel auto with A/C on occasionaly... Whoa! i get about 16mpg (7km per Litre), assuming my math is vaguely correct. And my AC don't go! Is that shoddy, normal, or is 31mpg exceptional? I too am keen to ...

Yep! cool as! :afro: .... 'Whale' :batman: and 'Truckie' :rambo: eh.... Y'all ain't make nit easy fer yerselfs... hehh hehh hehh...

Thanks for the add Jerry...

Date : Sunday the 29th of April Location: Aotea Block Drivers Briefing / Start Time: 10.00am BBQ Lunch $2 per person Bookings are required Rated Towhooks are required (mounted properly) if you are using the hazards. Hi Jerry, I'm keen if you have space! Is that your new bathing suit or a tree trunk ...

We have a 90 manual smurf and a 90 auto terrano. I've also had an 88 manual smurf. All turbo diesels. The 2.7 terrano motor has been bullet proof and leaves the smurfs at the bottom of the hill. My 88 2.4 cooked and needed replacement, also big $$$ if you can't do it youself... Terrano is sproket ...

Hi, I don't know anything about swaping an auto-box into a manual truck, except that it can be done... Shame to lose your manual box. I would have thought a rebuild would be a better option/cheaper/or comparitive expense? The petrol manual-box doesn't bolt up to the TD27, but I had an idea if you ...

I find this technique has worked a treat for me... Every situation and vehicle is different... I've tried successfully and unsuccessfuly in both manuals and autos... There was one cross-axled situation I got myself into with my old gutless Jackaroo where applying a firm hanbrake (rear drums) as well ...

Mine is the same... Stuck on windscreen demist direction... I remember hunting around internet forums looking for an answer after checking all the fusees I could find and replacing the dash control unit to no avail... I recall reading somewhere that there is another relay in behind the glovebox ...

If the bolt has that amount of distance between the hook and the chassis rail, that would more likley be the reason for failure..... .....Were those 2 bolts holding the bullbar on ,on that side?..... My factory setup was similar, if not the same... Does anyone use a bridle between 2 hooks? Wouldn't ...

I have never snapped 1 of those hooks because the bolts have always snapped first when load testing. The back bolt stretches and snaps and the the front bolt shears.

That's exactly how it went down for me!!!
:headshot:

Damn, thats a rough graphic...

There we have it I guess! This exact symptom happened to my 80's Surf! The bolts distorted and ripped clean out of the captive nuts!!! The hook was fine though... I had the chassis repaired and a rated hook attached with some 5mm plate drilled and attached between the hook and chassis with 3 bolts ...

Thanks Jerry! I think it's a great idea that CCVC have made their club spec publicly available as a guide... It gets peeps like me thinking! Even if it may be considered over-engineered by some... I'd rather not have my hooks how i like my steak, under-done... My apoligies too, I didn't mean to ...

You will find people won't accept you on hooks with unrated hooks.....go and see Marty (Stinky) 384 4141 and he can sort out mounting these properly. Is this 'Stinky' fellow in wellington? I might have to pay him a visit... Here is the CCVC club standard... Introduction to Snatch Recoveries Minimum ...

I already have rated 10,000Lb hooks that I would love to fit to the front of my Terrano but the bolt holes don't line up! And there is really nowhere else to fit them up front??? Is there any Nissan guys out there with pics of their chassis mounted 10,000Lb hooks? Or legit bar setups? I've not had a ...

I had aftermarket rated-hooks bolted directly to the chassis of my old Toy' and some 4mm plate steel between the hook and chassis secured with an extra bolt. (3 bolts total per hook), I'd like a similar set-up for the Terrano if poss. One less thing to wonder about...

Good question... I did a couple of heavy-ish (ie: a few consecutive pulls at full throttle to free my stuck hulux) recoverys with a mates Terrano with the stock hook on front, as he only had a shackled towbar on rear... He never had any issues with the hook... But then, he was never too hard out ...

Sounds like an interesting concept. I have a Terrano, would it be possible to do the "Flip" on my front end? Could you explain what is involved, as I haven't heard of anyone doing this at all. What would be the possible side efffects, eg unstable road manners, etc. Cheers Al The WD21 Terrano ...
