Keep an eye on the OSF tyre wear with km2s on. You'll have to swap fronts to back regularly to keep the tread "flat" as they'll tend to start wearing every other tread block on the outside edges on the fronts and if they get too far gone they seem to just melt away in a couple of thousand...

I always fancied a smoked colour one to match the wind deflectors on my van but I couldn't find one for the 3.0l bonnet. So charcoal grey would get my vote. Never looked at how they're fitted but is there enough gap to fit both a bonnet and headlight protectors between the bonnet edge and...

If its the thin rubber with the dimples your after I noticed one on ebay today.

Sorry to hear your having trouble with your conversion Zac. Wondering if your van panels have the fibreglass bit bonded to the inside of them? You should have some galv steel parts that stick to the inside of the window openings first then bond the van panels to the outside and screw together...

Hi Walshie, yes there's 2 switches a high and a low pressure. Have a look in the downloads section for some pics where to find the high pressure switch and the part number for the switch with an extension if yours hasn't had the updated part already. When I needed one I had to give them the...

It'll be a D21 pick up :thumbs

I've one of these in the middle of the roof gotthegift.co.uk/index.php/cb-radios/aerials-/-antennas/sirio-turbo-800s-blue-line-antenna-kit/p_458.html I mounted it just behind the interior light where there's a bracing rib and used a bit of alloy plate under the roof to spread the load a bit...

Think he means not the KA24E engine like we have in our terranos:thumb2

Found this too ebay.com/itm/NISSAN-DATSUN-720-STEERING-WHEEL-OEM-RARE-OPTIONAL-VINTAGE-VGC-240-260-280-JDM-/161169080383

I was thinking it was maybe something like this autobidmaster.com/carfinder-online-auto-auctions/lot/26476571/COPART_1984_DATSUN_720_STANDA_CERTIFICATE_OF_TITLE_DENVER_CO/ The steering wheel was used in a 280zx so maybe isn't necessarily off the original donor.

Should be a 14mm square sump socket but I usually end up using the 1/2" drive to put it back in after dropping the socket in the bucket :doh

From what I've read on a Patrol forum fitting the C200 diff was part of the cost cutting as its said to be lighter duty unit but the variants they used BC/X are still LS and even use the same clutch plates as the H233B. Best way if you want to know for sure would be to take the backplate off...

Maybe a Z24 engine 1984-86 from a Datsun 720 or similar? Going by what twinspark 4x4s the aircon compressor was fitted to. Not much to go on:nenau

Yes Rick it seems the C200 BC/X has the removable back plate like mine and is smaller to look at with a 200mm ring gear so holds less oil. Difference between a BC and X must be the ratios as one seems to be used on the 2.7 and the other on the 3.0. The other is the H233B with a 233mmring gear...
