Aren't there two pumps plumbed directly into the bottom of the washer reservoir? One pump for the front and one for the rear window? Thanks mate, you're right. It's a bit confusing because the big reservoir seems to be feeding to the rear window? Although there are two pumps on that one. Anyway, I ...

1990 Safari 4.2

Where in the heck is the window washer pump? Mine doesn't work and has just failed a warrant. I cannot find it in the manual so would appreciate some direction to avoid pulling things apart I don't need to

cheers

FFS. Changed the air-filter and it runs sweet.

Thanks @MihiT

Thanks, vehicle is manual and must be about 350K on the clock. Haven't done the air-cleaner in a couple of years but she's had pretty light use due to company ute. Might be worth replacing anyway. What's the IP? Once this gets too technical I need to seek professional help but it's worth trying a ...

Long time since I was last here. My 1990 Safari TD42 has suddenly started missing at 1800rpm. I though it was probably the fuel filter so changed that but alas, no better. Basically, runs fine until you hit that rev range then there is a sudden loss of power and the vehicle simply won't push through ...

Thanks team. New fuel filter, new air filter and all is good.

I was thinking the fuel filter as well - especially due to that exact timing each morning. Might be an easy place to start.

1990 Safari TD42 Just the last few days my Nissan has done the following. 1. First thing in the morning it starts fine, runs fine 2. After about 3-4min it starts to lose revs and power and miss a bit. Smokey when rev'd 3. After another few minutes it runs smooth again 4. Starts and runs fine for the ...

Hi all, can anyone recommend a replacement to the electric aerial on my 1990 Safari? As you can see the cowl mount goes round the corner and none of the standard aerials fit. I don't want another electric one, just a rubber thing that can be bent over and smacked about without snapping! photo 2 (2 ...

Hi, what is the recommended oil filter (x2) for a 1990 GQ Safari TD42?

Hi Twodiffs - I've been busy as you can tell

Thanks for the offer, but no need for payment - just glad it goes to some use rather than a landfill!

SOLD to Twodiffs!

Can you PM me some delivery details and I'll send this week.

cheers

Pulled this out of my 1990 Safari. It's the business end of the rear sway-bar disconnector. I was having trouble with it popping out and seeing as I had no need for the thing got a mate to weld up a permanent connection. This is free to a good home - just pay the freight (prob $5 nationwide non RD ...

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like they're both half decent so will go with the more conveniently located shop

Hi all. My 1990 Safari LWB needs two new tyres for the front. I do 90% road useage but go offroad in the weekends to get to a couple of surf spots. Have got two prices locally. Firestone 10R15 604's (I think they had Desert Dueler on the side) @ $266 ea Tyrepower 31 x 10.5 15 Maxxis MA75 @ $270 ea ...

Just to sum-up this thread ... I recently jacked up the rear of my truck and can confirm I do have a slippy in the back which is good news (do they even make them without?!). I have to assume that my auto front hubs aren't operating as well as they should so will manually lock them in the future ...

OK - thanks, that makes a bit more sense. Several people have told me that I need to lock the front hubs to be in 4WD. I knew this couldn't be the case because I regularly (every day) change into 4WD from the cab so I can slowly back up a very steep piece of gravel drive into my garage. Final ...

I'm not an experienced off road driver. I use my GQ Safari for few of the harder to access surf beaches up here in Northland and for getting to my house when our ford floods! Recently I got fairly well bogged down in some very soft and deep sand. I got out in the end but it wasn't as easy as I'd ...

Brilliant - thanks gards and Twodiffs.

I've found the relay which is obviously easy to remove. Where's the best place to source a replacement part ? Does it have to be Nissan or is there a generic replacement part I can get thru Repco or similar ?

thanks again

OK - not much response so I'm giving this a bit of a bump .... I have removed the Hazard switch but I'm not sure how to take this apart and/or clean the contacts. There is a little brown disc screwed into the side ... I tried to "unscrew" this but it just goes round in circles (which probably means ...

Thanks - I have worked out that horn and hazards are on the same circuit so tripping hazards blows the horn too. As the above link points out, it doesn't matter which I use first, hazards or indicators as they both go through the hazards switch. Use either and the relevant fuse will blow. I assume ...

Some electrical funny business going on in my Safari. Indicators don't work (incl hazard) neither does horn. I checked and replaced a blown 15amp fuse, but when I turn on the hazards there's an odd noise behind the dash (near hazard button) and the fuse blows again. Is this a simple prob to fix ...

Hmmmm - the search returns absolutely nothing for

sway bar
sway-bar
sway bar disconnector
sway-bar disconnector

... except from my post.

Of course I had no idea that was what it was before.

Anyway, sounds like something I should leave alone.

Thanks for the help guys

OK - another stupid question from me.

Fist time owner of a Safari, LWB, '90.

To the left of the steering column, half hidden under the dash is a little lever ... almost looks like one of those dash mounted hand-brakes. Got a lot of Japanese gibberish written next to it.

WTF is it ?!

Thanks for all this information - Forum's like this is are what makes the web great. Pervious owner left a bottle of "Morey's Diesel Smoke Killer, Fuel Conditioner" in the back. I shall use it. He has service receipts for a partial service every 5K and a full service every 10K. I think I'll just do ...

Thanks for the advice ! Yes, I am keen to do the basic stuff on this truck myself. Used to do all my own servicing and repairs until I started buying complicated European and Japanese vehicles ... and gave up. One thing I notice is there appears to be two oil filters side by side ! Never seen that ...

Hi all. Have recently swapped my 3 series coupe with about 2inch clearance for a standard looking 4.2 GQ '90 LWB low-roof manual ... ... and I love it. Much more practical for our 5 acres of land than that ridiculous beemer! Q1. The only thing that I'm not sure about on this new truck is that it ...
