first time here

hello everyone, I would just like to say hi and introduce myself , I am from Canada and I own a 1996 Nissan mistral TD27T R20 , I bought it on auction from japan and had it shipped to Canada , love the vehicle but I do find it hard to find info about it here (I think I might have the only one in Canada lol)looking forward to reading the posts and gaining insight to this interesting suv. thanks

Welcome mate, yes we know all about Mistrals, what do you want to know, Rick

Welcome aboard. Hopefully it’ll be solid without rust, if that’s the case get it treated underneath and in the chassis as I believe the canadian authorities use a lot of salt on the roads.
Assuming it’s not the intercooled engine then it’s all mechanical fuel pump ect so a great setup. Even the intercooled engine is a great engine and a bit more power.

I would like to put a 2" suspension lift in but having trouble finding where to buy one, I know I cant get them in Canada and I just need a company name or a link to one , also just wondering if putting a intercooler on would be a good idea , is a top mount the best way to go or down in the front , also it puffs out a little black smoke sometimes when the weather is cool , it goes away when the car warms up is this normal ? thanks

it has 162000 km on it now and has no rust or dents, it looks like it already was undercoated so I think I will be ok with that , I want the lift because I would love to go exploring with it in the mountains in my area and you never know what your going to run into.

Lots of threads on here about mods such as lifting.

I’ve never lifted any of my trucks but basically the front is just adjust the tortion bars and rears I believe is longer spring and shocker absorbers. Think you might have to do a little mod on the 4wd selection lever.

People seem to lift the body too but again plenty threads on here. You may have to be a fully paid up member to see everything not too sure.

Over here and in europe people can order from a company called Milner Off Road a uk company, you may have to contact them to see if they’ll export to you.
