OK, now for kinda something conclusive. I managed to get an hour to myself with a clean table to lay the parts out and label bits to see how everything worked. Nissan safari pumps appear to be very very similar to the sanden pumps. The "crankcase" ( for lack of a better word) doubles as the sump ...

yeah mate il give you a ring, could be a goer. has it got warrant and reg?? or a set of live plates at the least?? is the body fu*ked or is it repearible?

I am after a 84-88 toyota surf with removebale rear canopy in the auckland area. anything considered??

Have never heard of this place sorry, any more info on them please?

nz bus and truck spares. they are based in south auckland

hey mate got any pics of the v8 surf?? and a price??

damn i'd be keen if you were closer to auckland!!

excellent work man, very neat and tidy. could i have a price on just a basic log manifold?? very interested

pics?

cheers for all the info everyone. got my mind made up that im going to get one now, now i just got to find a decent one for a decent price

is there much suspension parts and accesories available for these in nz. planning on running 31's on 15x7's and a 2" lift.

hi i am still looking into one of these as they seem like good value for money ...solid front and rear axle 4wd with grunt. have read on trademe that the autos are prone to shitting out on these at around 200 000ks..can any jeep owners shed some light on this?? also what fuel economy figures are you ...

Hi i dont know if this is what your after or not but there is a seller on trademe who sells a full brand new carpet set for lwb or swb safaris for around the $300 dollar mark

yep the one you are looking at is an r50 not a d21 so will not be affected from rust issues. the autos and manuals in them are not the strongest though,

from what i read they will still be producing the gu series utes for the mines e.t.c

hi very interested in springs/ shocks could you please pm me a price cheers.

im after a nissan td42+ 5spd box..any condition considered, even a non-runner.

these things are prone to cracking heads.

what brand springs are you running and are you happy with them?? seems to be so many opinions on different brands of springs

looks bloody good. just out of curiosity, could you please tell me what size tyres and how much lift you have on your safari??

old thread i know, but just wanting to know if anyone has any measurements of a standard height gq swb??

myne has approx 550mm gap between centre of the wheel and bottom of the wheel arches, just wanting to know if it is standard or not as i want to lift it a couple of inches
