hi all, heard of this web site a few days ago, its absolutely fantastic so much info on anything and everything you would need to know and from reading a few posts i see the people on here are a great friendly bunch.

im jay by the way, i had my terrano for over a year now and never thought of taking it off road until last weekend when we took the nephew and niece up miruwai beach.......... i spent more time playing in the truck up the dunes like a school boy obsessed than i did with the mrs and kids trying to build sand castles lol anyhow im now converted from drift nut to 4x4 enthusiast. (will defiantly keep my licence in my wallet that's for sure).

i will be listing my s14 drift car in the next couple of weeks and will then decide weather to sink some coin into my terrano or just buy something else that i will bankrupt my self with :p , which i would appreciate some input as im new to this and i dont know much about 4wd's and what a good chasis would be to start with. toyota, land rover, mitsi, suzuki, izuzu, nissan, etc .......

here is the old girl anyway all iv done is top mount IC'd it , cranked the boost up and put some 31"s on it
(manual) BTW

Welcome!

Get a Jeep! lots of power and f**k all fuel economy :lol:

Nah but seriously, terrano is a good 4WD to start with, was my first 4WD a few years ago. Learnt heaps in it, then i moved on to a big LWB Safari, and now on to the Jeep Wrangler.

Keep an eye out for local trips etc on here and join in! Best way to meet people and have fun!

Cheers

Welcome Jay,
Terrano ain't all that bad. As per your last post, you have some skills that will help with the "enhancements". Push the Nissan as far as you can, at least you won't need to do any engine repairs to it :P
You will need to up grade the steering a bit. Tried Woodhill yet?

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

There's a lot of people on here with Terrano's and all have a wealth of knowledge in modifying them!! (I'm still learning :oops: )

Best thing I've done so far on mine is 2.5" exhaust from the turbo... Really opened it up. A bit more grunt, Keeps EGT's lower and sounds pretty cool too. :lol:

yeah, a terrano is a good place to start, good engine, just put some mud tyres on and boot it everywhere till you get sick of getting stuck then get something with live axles and a PTO winch :) welcome to the world of 4wding
