Hey all. Have decided to sell the Terrano as am starting a new project. 1993 3.0V6 Auto Extractors and (i think) 2 1/4 inch decatted exhaust 2" Coil lift at the rear (dobis) 31x10.5 Maxxis Bighorns - Almost brand new. Cambelt done @ 145k Towbar Front Tow hook Cibie Spots Only fault is Headlight ...

No Objection. Two weeks suits me just as well as the original dates!

Just off topic slightly - but is a shackle ok on a rated 2500kg towbar in place of the towball for tow purposes? Would this be an acceptable recovery point until i get a rear hook?

just to be clear, this would NOT be used as snatch point.

Effing scumbags. Both the theives and the Insurance Co.

Wound up the T bars after putting in new rear springs and MT's.

Found some mud, beached the rear diff on a rut and got pulled out by a zuk

Trans started bitching at me after a couple of hours so next on the list is external cooler!

All depends on the lift you have. The guys running 33"s in the states usually have at least 6" of lift and have trimmed the guards. Many of them have also SAS'd their pathfinders. I have 31x10.5's on 15x8 Steelies -24 offset. The rims that came with the truck were -10. Even with these I get a small ...

Last time i went to PAP for an engine mount, they were all cracked! Ended up having to get one from the manufacturer.

That's an absolute disgrace. I'd be demanding your coin back, eh.

poor communication is the number one cause of customer dissatisfaction. And 7 weeks? That's just abysmal.

ended up getting bighorns, and holy shit. What a massive improvement from the pirelli AT's! these things will take me places the pirellies simply wouldnt. and thats with the pirellies at 20psi and the bighorns at 36! A bit noisy on the road and dont balance that well. http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net ...

Oh yup you're right.

Here's the crowd that did them: http://autowerk.php4.ernie.silverstripe.com/fleet/

Badass. I'd be keen as for a set if you decided to make a few

put me down as definate. keen as for some decent training.

I was told once that it was actually a vinyl - in which case i'd think highly scratch resistant yeah?

I've managed to get the glue off one door with non acetone nail polish remover, but it took forever! will get round to the rest eventually. Try white spirit. It will take the sticky shit off almost anything. Sweet I'll give that a go tonight. Cheers! the best stuff (by far) ive found for removing ...

yeah its a pain in the ass eh. I used a heatgun on low heat, and was able to pull the vinyl off quite cleanly. I've managed to get the glue off one door with non acetone nail polish remover, but it took forever! will get round to the rest eventually. Have since discovered that double sided tape put ...

deleted factory flares, signwriting and broke out the blaster:



monsoons have since been removed. Flexi flares and mudders coming shortly. Then the lifting games begin.

Was talking to a retailer recently and the kumho distributor is doing some sharp specials at the mo. He quoted me a figure that was in the region of $30 under the regular retailer buy price. He also said that apparantly people are getting up to 70k on these tyres if they're run at 40 psi on the road ...

Awesome. Thanks.

I'm also keen to know if anyones got opinions on sidewall strength... seein as i have two pirelli scorpions in getting tubes because of sidewall punctures!

G'day. Just want some opinions really. Going to be getting some MT's at the end of the month, but haven't decided what i'm gonna get or where. Trucks going to see a mix of off road and tarmac. So while wear is not the top priority, reasonable wear would be nice. Oh, they're going on a Terrano ...

Thanx,

Welcome Tristan! Funny you should mention the above, because I've just spent the night doing just that on my Terrano!

Have fun! (from another newb)

Welcome

Offroading is kinda fun, innit? Though I have to admit, my other love is a Subaru RSB (predecessor to B4) So now, i have TWO money pits!

rockyman wrote:will it fit though? lol

should do. Navara is basically identical to terrano from the cab forward etc.

but dont quote me

Pretty sure the V6 Terrano has a panel filter.

my 2wd ute towing my trials truck on a trailer made it so you should make it up there ok!!!

Sweet! Count me in.

I have a pair of munroe shocks from the rear of my truck that were used when I had my 2" suspension lift. They are in good order and up for grabs. Will get size of them later tonight. I only replaced them as I put heavier springs in the back due to all the shit I carry and longer travel shocks ...

i have some dobi 2 inch lift springs less than 200ks old for sale if your interested. if your rear shocks are after market then they will be 2inches longer than factory. 32's are a tight fit. all depends on the offset of the rim look at m for more info How much you want for those springs? As far as ...

i did a 3" calmini lift and 2" body lift and put true 33'' tyres on but i cut the guards. no point putting new springs in and leaving standard shocks as you will get no benefit from the extra travel. the front end will never be great as it is ifs. Yeah, i'll live with it (the IFS) for now. If it ...

Hi All. Been lurking here for a bit and have searched etc, but dont have the definitive answers to my Q's. I want to do a S/L on my R3m, by cranking/re-indexing the torsion bars and fitting new coils at the rear. Do i NEED new rear shocks? or are they just a good idea? What about the front springs ...

Pretty much stock, taken today. Took delivery yesterday morning! http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/twisted_RS/DSCF1248.jpg http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/twisted_RS/DSCF1250.jpg http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/twisted_RS/DSCF1252.jpg
