Just had a quick squint on fleabay. There's only been 4 listed in the last 30days. One sold here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-TERRANO...item1c18d2e561
One was listed twice at1400 and didnt sell and one other went for 1030 squid.
They were all mot and running etc
So if you've got to do wisbone and other stuff for mot it needs to be a lot less than 600 to buy if you want to make some dosh worth the efffort

its got 7 months mot and 1 months tax already. Wishbone has been, shall i say, botched/straightened. Drives perfect so dont need to spend too much. Appreciate the big response though

the early rm3 terrano/ pathfinder was proper chassis with all the same running gear as the t2. as jace says . the one i had was the later one r50 and paul is correct not a proper chassis . lifting it is almost impossible unless you have big bucks.

so both right on that.

i found although low to the roof, it had similar if not slightly better ground clearance than the t2 . and id say 33" tyres is possible with a little work...


the r50 terrano / pathfinder is a lovely drive . its like driving a volvo and not cramped at all the roof is lower thats all ... mpg i found better than t2 and much more power, super reliable

if its tidy, for 600 buy buy buy . just drive it for the next 5 years free motoring almost.... milners4x4 do most parts for it


id have mine back in a flash

id have another one nearly did about 6mths ago nice black one on ebay went about £600 it was a manual wouldve made a nice day to day driver so pick up vans could be exclusively work trucks!

Time for a bit of edumacation The R3M might have been called a Terrano in some markets (although I'm not sure where) but was better known as the Pathfinder - its not a direct relation and was never sold in Europe, although it uses the early TD Terrano engine and gearbox as far as I know.

Ok, this is the original R3M


Then this is the R3MR...not sure if this was a MkII or just a 'deluxe' version...maybe someone can tell us?



Then there was the Terrano 2 MkI ...built in Spain for the Euromarket but also in Japan and grey-imported here as the Mistral...this one is the Jap-built Mistral, distinguished by the l/h 'old style' wing mirror....and other pointless 'bling' LOL


This is the more common Spanish-built Terrano 2 MkI with its square headlights.



This is the T2 MkII, distinguished by its round headlights....plus the addition of the bonnet scoop to supply air to the intercooler, which boosted the engines original 100bhp to around 125bhp.



This is the T2 MkIII identified by its square headlights and clear sidelights, plus the 'teardrop' cutouts in the lower bumper. These make it go faster



And finally this is the MkIV, identified by the square headlights and the revised bumper, with no teardrops and moulded-in 'over-riders'



Oh and I nearly forgot the MkIV 3.0 litre.....set apart by its offset bonnet scoop (although I'm not 100% certain if they were all like that, maybe someone can confirm?)

Can't confirm it as such, but if you look at the I/C placement on the ZD30 engine it difficult to imagine how it could have ever been elsewhere.
