Re: 1996-ish Surf Buying Advice

I would be looking at towing a boat ~16ft so will be fairly light. Certainly would want to get a leakdown - whats the going rate for this? Are the cracks fairly obvious or just hairlines? Are there any majors with the engine / drivetrain that I need to watch out for at this km? I would like the ...

1996-ish Surf Buying Advice

Hi All, Thinking about making a change from my Terrano 3.2DT towards a 3.0DT Surf (smart move you'll probably say!). As I am wanted something around 10K I would be looking at approximately a 1996 model with 130-160km. Is this a realistic budget to get something tidy? What are the major issues I ...

Re: 3.2 Terrano Boost

This may sound stupid but how do I actually tell what type of pump it is, I think the 2.7 has a rotary but not sure about the 3.2?. Yes it has an airflow meter - I would think the airflow meter could adjust fuel to compensate for an increase in boost (to a point) such as in a petrol.I would probably ...

Re: Monroe Reflex struts - Terrano

Hey Guys, I went for a set of Monroe Reflex in the end. Just got the shocks all round and left the springs factory. Handling has improved 100%, although after removing the shocks it was obvious how shattered they were. Its still got the "new shock" feel at the moment and i'm pretty happy so we'll ...

Re: Monroe Reflex struts - Terrano

I am not looking at a lift at this stage as it would mean investing in the rear suspension too. However, I am going to have a good look at the springs this weekend because I think it is sagging ~ 30mm in the front . I have noticed alot of the terranos look as though they sit down in the front so I ...

Re: Monroe Reflex struts - Terrano

I have done a bit of ringing around and these are the prices I've come up with in Auckland: - Pedders struts $238 inc gst ea - Old Man Emu ~ $160 + gst ea - Monroe Gas Charge $440 + gst pair - Monroe Reflex I can get at about the same cost of the Old Man Emu Do these prices seem reasonable? I am ...

Re: Monroe Reflex struts - Terrano

I am open to all suggestions. The reason I am first looking at the Monroe Reflex's is that I have the opportunity to get them at trade. Of the top of anyones head, what sort of price could I expect for Old Man Emu or Grabriel front struts? Who stocks these brands in Auckland? I have heard alot more ...

Monroe Reflex struts - Terrano

Hi Guys, I have a 99 Terrano Regulus which has a leaking front strut. I am trying to weight up my options for replacement. I would like to improve the onroad handing as it rolls and dives considerably compared to say a Surf (obviously influenced by the strut). I realise that the Terrano naturally is ...

99 Terrano Towbar

Hi There,

I am after a towbar for my Terrano regulus (KD-JRR50). Does anyone know what the best options are in the Auckland area?.

Are there "bolt on" kits available? if so that is what I would prefer as I am happy to do the work myself.

Cheers,
Kim

I have had the glow plugs out, all seem okay as they glow within a few seconds when put to a battery. I have also checked that they are getting power when starting up, I just put a light tester on the feed and it lit up. Are there any other tests to see whether the timer could be playing up? It took ...

Yeah this only ever happens cold. Is there someway I can check the glowplugs and timer? The glow plugs certainly seem like they could be the cause, the light is ticking off normally on the dash. But thats about all i know about the glow plugs. Are there any tests I can do to check them? Cheers.

Terrano starting problems

Hi There, I'm having some more issues with my terrano regulus. Occasionally it decides that it doesn't want to start, it will just keep cranking over. If i turn key off and try again it will crank for a while and then finally start, I am ensuring I warm the glow plugs up and everything. It never ...

I think I will get in touch with nissan, I'm hoping its a simple fix. Its more annoying than anything. From my understanding, and like on a previous Bighorn, The cold switch was only really needed in winter but I seem need it all the time to raise the idle. Unfortunately I dont have a workshop ...

Dont quote me on this, but off the top of my head: Cold idle with heat switch on: varies between 700-1000, when in drive it drops back to just below 700 and shudders. If I bring the revs up to 800rpm its fine. I think the hot idle is between 700-800 and there is no trouble with vibrations when ...

Hi, I have a Regulus with the QD32ETI. Currently when the car is cold and I am stopped in drive the car shudders, If I apply a slight bit of throttle and bring the revs up ~ 100prm its fine. Im wondering if there is anyway to adjust the idle up slightly? I had a hunt but confused myself as it uses ...
