Yip, got my work cut out. My plastic door trim sections are also coming apart after 20 years of sun. I ripped one off the other day hauling myself out from under the car. So need to see what plan I can make around that problem. One advantage I do have, is that most my body is fiberglass, and I...

There really is not much decal on my vehicle at all. I do however also have a major problem with my clear flaking off all over now. Roof is particularly bad, as well as the fenders. Also thought of flatting the paint work and doing as you have suggested. Actually know somebody in the signage...

From what "age" do vehicles qualify for this thread. Some of us just have older vehicles that we like for various reasons. My main reason is for the simplicity of the oldies without all the electronics. Mine is only 20 years old now, and the biggest reason I have built and done everything...

I have not been here forever, but seeing as I stumbled back onto the site, thought I best update a bit.. Eventually started with the SFA, but its still work in progress while I sit in the unemployment line and things happen very slowly. Still a runner, but only rear wheel drive till I sort...

I am bashing a set of MQ Patrol UTE axles under my D21 Hardbody/Pathfinder and got my hands on a H260 rear. You can't miss it, its a darn truck diff size. I was super happy to have it till it got under my rig on 33s, and I realised how limited my pumpkin clearance is. And seems to be evident by...

Well through not being an expert with fibreglass, it took a while and three attempts. I set a budget for the project and purchased what I needed ahead of time. Budget was about 30% of what a import snorkel would have cost me for a Parthfinder and I was not sure if it would work anyhow. From the...

My truck got drowned in 2008, and I promised I would fit a snorkel, but nothing was available over the counter for my body shape. I have something in mind and home built this fibreglass unit and got it finished a few weeks ago.

I have driven the 2.5TD for Nissan in test and competition once. Was very impressed with it compared to my old 2.7 donkey. That thing drives like a car on the road, had it up to over 200KM/h. Picked up the vehicle with 30Km on the clock with normal road rubber, off to the competition and came 8...

Here is a copy and paste from the a Nissan site: The V9X 3 litre V6 Turbodiesel engine has been developed to deliver high levels of performance with strong economy, competitive emissions and class-leading refinement. A world first in the 1-ton pickup segment. Power output is 170kW while the...

Here in South Africa, that is the Navara. What engine you got in there, petrol or diesel, and if diesel, is it the V6 3.0 Twin turbo? That thing goes like a rocket.

I am going wheeling this weekend for the first time in over a year, hope to bring some pictures home and post them:smiley_drive:

That is so cool!!!

Hey Sexy, I follow you and your hubbies videos on youtube and can't wait to see the next one. Every time I logon, I am hoping you have posted something for us. Guys here at work think I am nuts. Some guys watch porn, I watch 4x4's climbing over rocks. That Nissan is awesome, thanks for sharing...

I've been planning SFA on my truck for six years now, but I can't find a diff with the correct ratio, so it's a front and rear end replacement that pushes the price to double.

You don't know how frustrating it is when got all these ideas and no money (job) to do them with. I ran my truck for a while with old engine oil that I mixed back into the supply. I never went more than a 20% mix with the diesel to keep things "fluid" enough in the tank. I did not do any...

Thanks for the reply. Those manuals are like hens teeth. My buddy who is insisting on this engine is grinding away at the internet daily, and we may just have an option or two with existing ECM's that can be re mapped. That now seems to be the biggest mission, to find someone who is willing to...

Darn great job you have done there, wish I had seen this thread earlier. I am from South Africa and those power plants are fairly common here in many different models. My truck has the slightly lower model than the one you have there now. I think your s is fly be wire (no throttle cable, but ECU...

See the reaction when you shove that bullbar and sticker into a road pimple's back window after he cut you off at the last intersection. Even works better when you have a descent amount of mud to emphasize the message:Wow1:

Nissan from South Africa What an awesome bunch of rigs. I don't see any other from South Africa, so here goes. Some pictures of "Hillbilly". He got this name around 3 years ago and it just stuck. He is a 1997 D21 truck chassis with a fiber glass body build by an independent coach maker. Looks...
