2"body lift at the weekend

[Fez_uk]

think the fitting instructions are aimed more at the shogun. There is no blanking plug like that at the back of a terrano.

Again, You will have to take the rear bumper off and make a small cut. It's nothing too drastic.

you will have to remove the interior panel in the boot to see that.
not an actual pic of mine its one in the fitting instructions for the kit on xpajun website.

Ahhaaa... Now I think I know where that is... I will have a look in a bit...

no doubt I will find out myself at the weekend when I actually do the body lift.

You will just find metal there is no blanking plug out with the angle grinder sir lol

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

Just had a good look, as R1cho says, there is no way to the top of it. Basically, it is in a sealed box, directly behind the light pin switch, in that section you can't get any tools into.

Not even convinced that with the rear bumper off, you could get an angle grinder in there to do the aforementioned surgery either.

Did some on say pics

 

[elty001]

first job was bumpers off.4 bolts on front and 4 bolts on back,self expainatory as to which ones they are when you have look.
next where the rubber infills under the front arches.
left the fan cowl in place and just removed the lower clip off section which has given me enough clearance.
had a quick look underneath to make sure there was enough play in all the body to chassis connections.front abs sensor wire on passenger side had to be unclipped to give it a bit more length.
forgot about the steering knuckle bolt until afterwards but I just slackened it of and gave it a tap and let it drop down a few mm on the splines and re tightened it.
body mount bolts front to rear





two captive nuts on each side are the very rear and the middle ones.rears came off fine as did the passenger sid but the drivers side middle sheared off:doh

had to perorm a bit of surgery on that one by cutting the body above the mount and drilling it out

knackered the thread doing it so I had to find an m12 x1.75 pitch thread nut which luckily I had got:thumbs
loosened all the nuts and bolts on both sides but didn't take them out yet.
had another quick look underneath to to make sure there was nothing I had missed then had a fag and a brew before I got the jack under the body.

I didn't have to cut any hole's to access any bolts, flipped the rear seats up lifted the carpet and there was a black plug, took that out and the bolt was under that

 

[elty001]

I only had to cut that one out because the bolt sheared in the captive nut.

 

[Lazy-Ferret]

So in this picture, the bolt hole you can see is the seat? and the raised bulge, is the opposite side to the second picture?

I take it, this is the cut away bulge of the other side, in the picture above?

Did you have to cut the square holes, or are those the ones that are already there with tape or some sort of blanking plate over?

 

[elty001]

The square holes are already there with a plastic cap over them which breaks when you remove it.
And yes you are right about the holes.the hole in the picture is the seat bolt hole and the captive nut is under the round bulge in the floor.
Will get the rest of the pics posted up as soon as I can get the ipad to log on to photo bucket

 

[Fez_uk]
