  1. Hey there james, had a look at your rig its pretty neat dont know what it is but black really makes the car. Nah bro my rig looks like a dog dragging an itchy arse. think its the springs and have bought a pair just waiting for them to arrive and thinking of away to lift the rear at the same time. Does any oneknow how the susoension button system works?
  2. Hey guys, managed to get ahold of a manual - Thanks Pav. Scored a second hand rear chrome bumper for $100 to replace the rusted and dull one i have, after some labour intensive polishing managed to get it looking mint. Jacked up the rear to have a good look and maybe determine the problem all looks as it should so dumbfounded ilet her down again. Once she was again on all fours i noticed that sheis sitting alot better, which would suggest that the shocks are fubar, right? If the sun shines tomorrow i will give her a good clean and polish and then post some pics.
  3. Well this morning i climbed under the beast and took random pics of what i am unsure. I have been trying to get any manuals of the car online but feel cheated at having to pay for them, all links that have been posted for the pdf are dead. Could anyone help in this respect? I will post the pics a little later of the rear suspension. Thanks a heap for the replies.
  4. Hi all, i am new to 4x4's and this site, so go easy on me. Yesterday i bought my first Terrano and on the drive home felt it swaying on the rear. Correct me if im wrong but this would suggest sway bars need new rubbers? Well while on a break at work i found myself admiring my new ride, but the more i looked the more evident it became the front of my terrano sits alot higher than the rear close to 60mm on the drivers side and 75mm on the passengers side. The rear shocks are doing what they must but for the life of me i cant figure this out. Could the coil springs collapse? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if i should post some pics of the anomally. Thanks in advance.
  5. Hi all, i am as my screen name suggests a 4x4 noob. Got my very first big boys vehicle yesterday and keen to start hitting the bush. Been scouring the forum for any information i can about this sport/lifestyle. Any pointers or handholding is most welcome - lets just keep the hand holding to a minimum dont want the wife getting the wrong idea. A bit about my 4x4 its a 93 R3m V6 terrano with aprox 120000 miles (192000km) on her. The drive home yesterday was interesting at highway speeds she seems to wag her arse and parked on level the arse end seems lower than the front fractionally. My background i grew up with 4 uncles who are mechanics/painters/tow truck drivers so have had an extensive apprenticeship, having said that i dont think i was listening most of the time. I love to tinker with cars (much to my wifes dismay) so when my current dd chewed itself up i started looking for the next tinker toy, (wifes view point) she asked me what would it take for me to stop tinkering, the result my purchase yesterday, little does she know. Looking for any like minded people in auckland area NZ to get out and about with, was contemplating going it alone but not comfortable with the idea of phoning home to ask the little lady for a tow. Anyway chaps thanks for allowing me to join, i promise you wont regret it... much!
