2003 plate terrano Lwb with twisted chasis - Page 5

As for the torsion bar weld that was a dodgy back street garage that did that after the truck had broke basically outside and that was the nearest place it was taken off the road straight away after all other repairs and mots service have been carried out at Nissan main dealer and recipes available for everything

Best of luck Sami12, keep us updated

Best of luck with it I believe any thing can be repaired or re built to as good as new or sometimes better than new standard just not always cost effective.
Just get advice from someone who is specialized in chassis work.

Not updated in a while nothing has really changed with this terrano due to issues getting it moved and no where willing to look at it

However I have since bought this

Good to see you back, thought we might of lost you ☹

Pleased to see you did not turn your back on Terrano's

looks like a nice truck.

samki12 · 31-05-2016, 22:04

It's a 2.7 same as the other truck which I will probably now use as a spares truck

Seems reasonably tidy its spent the last 8 years towing a horse box to shows so only been doing around 3000-4000 miles a year

Needs a few bits doing mainly cosmetic

Main issues though are it is has a fuel leak from a quick look just looks like a leaky pipe also has a brake fluid leak again looks like it could be a pipe

Seems to drive nice though with the exception of the issues above

From what I gather fuel and brake lines are quite common to go on these, lots of threads on here and a guide on fuel line replacement in the download section. Good luck with it mate

and before you undo any nuts or bolts drown them in wd40 etc for a couple of days

jims-terrano · 31-05-2016, 22:24

Nice one, looks good. Wise decision to use the other as a donor truck.

If it's fuel leak above rear axle then best fix is replace front to back both fuel pipes. You'll also find engine will run smoother too. As siad loads of threads and a download about this job.

samki12 · 31-05-2016, 22:33

Yes seems to be leaking onto the side step near the rear axle what size fuel hose do I need ?

Also noticed a bit of vibration through the steering wheel after about 40/50 mph

Very clean underneath though in comparison to the other truck still has paint on the chasis to start with and doesn't seem to be any rust on the body either

Might be worth starting a new thread in the Terrano/Maverick section for these issues. There is a awful lot of pervious pages to go through and will make it easier for people to navigate and help.

Sounds like a solid truck as well. How are the wings?

samki12 · 31-05-2016, 22:56

Wings seem good except it has had the bonnet badly resprsyed at some point and they have got over spray on both wings and the grill

Are you breaking a silver one?

If so I need the 2 plastic colour coded trims for passengers and drivers side

How much?

At least they are solid with no rust, always a winner it seems with Terrano's.

I have mine to sort out at some point, my limited skills stretch as far as replacing though not repairing

jims-terrano · 31-05-2016, 23:19

Have a search around there are several threads regarding fuel lines along with sizes and suppliers.

As for your vibration, I had a similar on my 05 plate which turned out to be front propshaft. Bigbunny removed the propshaft which got rid of the vibration. There was a small amount of play in the sliding joint so had to replace the shaft. Of course other things can cause vibration such as wheel balance.
