I am after a set of wheels/tyres for my '94 Safari SWB. It has a nice set of alloys on it but I am keen to find the original factory '3 spokers' - anyone got any ideas?
See attached image - will sell the wheels/tyres that are on it...

It would be rude that I did not let the ORE forum know I am selling my beloved G.

See TM link below...

Cheers Gnarly...I am honestly in 2 minds about selling it - it is easily one of my favourite vehicles - I also have a G Wagen which is about as good as you can get as far as SUV's go and oddly enough I am always happily driving the Safari about.

Yeah - but if you have the cash to splash is it retarded? I guess it is relative to what sort of $$$ you can drop without batting an eye lid. For me ...not much The proof of the pudding is how long a listing sits...I think that particular Safari will be there a while if the price is not dropped ...

Have kept the G Wagen straight - I just think that is the way it is supposed to be....it is amazing on sand dunes - my Safari simply can not do what it does...I think my Safari 4.2TD is more fun...it cost me a lot less & I tend to make it do things I would think twice with the G (for fear of ...

Must have leather interior
Not too worried about how many k's...more interested in service history
I can be contacted on 021 08 111 888 or vaughanw@avalon.co.nz

Hi all I am on the hunt for a VX100 4.2TD - around say 1999 - 2002 Any help on what to look for.... There are a few on TM with 300+ks on the clock - that seems fine but what are the 1HD engines good for - are they as robust as the Nissan 4.2TD? and good for 500+ks? Is the variable height suspension ...

Not sure what you mean?

See my listing on TM - link below...no kidding dudes, this is a beautiful truck - one of the saddest sales I will make

I am picking most people who poke fun at a G Wagen have never owned one and probably never will...beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is nice but don't knock another mans mule unless you have ridden it.

Mate - doing a runner in an LWB Hi-Top? No such thing

Hi all Just had an 'accident' at the car park building in Nuffield St Newmarket...Barrier arm came down over the front of the truck and wiped out the dinky little mirror on the front left hand corner - it is repairable but will first try to buy a newbie if anyone has one they want to quit... FYI the ...

Thanks to all for the answers, went for Valvoline 15/40 (picked up 2 x 10 litre drums in the Repco sale) as that is what the previous owner was using and it seems to run perfectly. Cheers VW

Anyone recommend a good oil to use in my 1996 Nissan Safari 4.2TD?
Cheers VW

Hi all...appreciate feedback on this one... I have a '96 Safari GQ version with 4.2TD...hands down it is one of the most brilliant vehicles I have owned...unbelievable engine and heaps of character. I am now thinking of an 'upgrade' to the later version GU with 4.2TD...I think this model ran from ...

Thanks guys...I really appreciate the clarification

Thanks for the replies...really useful info...Cheers!

I have read a lot of info on the web re Silver top vs Black top...this is my take so far. I can not find any hard facts...eg: info Nissan themselves have released as opposed to "mechanics who have worked on Nissans for 20yrs" (hard to verify) that proves one is better than the other. Therefore I ...

Hi all...I am too busy at the moment to change my own oil and filters every 5k...I and doing about 3k per month so it is a regular event...anyone know of a good and well priced outlet in Auck that can do it? the vehicle is ususally in Penrose during work hours, Remuera in the weekends.

Hi all - I am looking for a new set of springs for my '96 Safari - anyone know of a set for sale or a good place to buy and have installed? - I am in Central Auckland. Cheers Vaughan

Cheers...how much?

Prefer grey, no cracks or damage - dis-colouration fine as I will have resprayed.

Hi all
Any tips appreciated for a good set of tyres for 100% road use on a '96 Safari. I have two sets of rims 1 x road, 1 x off-road. I need to replace the road set shortly. Cheers VW

Just bought this... '96 Safari Kingsroad I have being looking for a project vehicle and viewed 30+ Safaris before choosing this one which really stood out...knew as soon as I saw it I would buy it...as I write this it is being transported from Christchurch to Auckland...should arrive on Friday. I am ...

Hello all Looking forward to bumping into a few of you out there in the wild open spaces. I am just a casual 4WD enthusiast - my family and I use 4WD weekends as a fun way to get out town and suck in some fresh air. Favourite off road areas are Bay of Plenty and Coromandel. We have two 4WDs - 1: a ...

Hi Simon, FYI I bought a '96 Patrol 4.2TD LWB today. The seller saw my post and made contact. Very happy...a lovely example with low K's and full leather...will post images of my latest acquisition shortly.

Hi Simon, I don't have much to do with forums in general so have no idea if an 'introduction' is the secret to success or not. Your advice is duly noted though. I did receive 3 emails and one phone call today regarding Safaris so I guess my tact isn't that bad. All the best VW

I am keen on buying a straight 1995-97 Safari 4.2TD, prefer auto. LWB or SWB fine...I can be emailed on vaughanw@avalon.co.nz or 021 08 111 888

THANKS ALL...BOUGHT A GORGEOUS SAFARI THIS WEEK...WILL POST IMAGES SHORTLY
