here in australia. probly. but over sea's god knows. i bought a wreck for $800 aus. from that i got a good motor, another man box. hub,s etc etc, and then got rid of the shell, but all the extra parts like lights and stuff i couldn't even give them away, and yeh i tried on here. but it depends on what is out there in pathy hevan. just see whats around first. if a wreck can be sourced then a box, pedals, and all the gear should be able to get secondhand, jut get the fly wheel machined aswell before the install. oh and mine was an 87 pathy though

Personaly i would replace that seal. then get a manual trany and all the bits for a conversion. but thats me... i already have a manual.

wouldnt that make the it hard to get the pin in " if ever needed " with lineing up the hole????????

we go a 2 inch lift here couse in most of the states and terratories in australia you dont need modification plates for now. anything over 2 inch and its a pain in the but

and for flares you can either try any fourby shop and i belive clark rubber also have flares to go on. these are a d.i.y thing but a mechanic would probly put them on for you

Hi. there are very few aussies on here. and most of us are from perth. not to knock the forum but another forum such as 4x4earth or pcoa wich is the aussie pathfinder forum. they should be able to help you out further with that one. But also dont forget to drop into the aussie thread and say hi.

chiped keys are expensive and yes we do or locksmiths do charge alot for them. The key blanks are expensive for a start and the special key cutting machines, and you will find that you will need all of youre vehicals detals to get one cut.vin and chassis no. for this reason, the locksmith will call nissan with the details to get the code ( chip ) info for youre car. this is also for holden, ford, mitsabishi, toyota etc etc. i have done this before when i was working for a locksmith there is alot of bull and red tape to get this info. this is the reason for the high price. if you dont want to pay that much for a key. well then its time to buy an older car. The cars of tomorow will always be more advanced so grin and bear it. wait till they are finger print starters. it will be a pain if you loose a finger...lol and yeh i have seen them.

had the same isuuse with mine. but wasnt the battery or the wipers.....lol it was the smaller wire on the starter motor. was connected but was loose. was getting the click but no go. have a look there to.

is my ex wife in youre car. she usualy squels when the 4wd indicator was on to.

put that under the aussie thread. probly get a taker on there.

i would kill for somehing like that here

find it easyier than trying to work around ariels when under the bonet. i must admit i do have one on the bull bar but it is only on there as a height guageand easy to remove. an old 27meg ariel. i have spotties on the roof and a roof pod. dont want to rip them off in undercover car parks.

uhf in center roof consol arial mounted on wheel carrier after i moded it and repowdercoated it black. wireing was a cow. be careful where the cable runs into the cab. i ended up running under the rear bumper and inside through a drainage hole. and then up the roof lineing

THIS REALLY FRIGN SUX. HAVE A READ TO WHAT THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT WANTS TO DO WITH LIFTS. ACT NOW - FIGHT UNFAIR 4WD MODIFICATION RULES Fellow 4WD enthusiasts, Today is the day we must stand up for ourselves as 4WDers. You have been branded “car hoons†by the NSW Minister for Roads. I will not accept my fellow 4WDers, readers of 4WD Action magazine, being branded as car hoons simply because we choose to enjoy 4WDing in properly, safely modified 4WDs. We, as responsible 4WDers have never needed each other’s support as much as we do today. It is time to act now or have our chosen lifestyle unfairly limited by regulations based on false information. The news We became aware on Thursday 16th July of a press release issued by the NSW Minister for Roads, Michael Daley describing severe restrictions to suspension lifts. So many of you have publicly displayed your opposition to this on our forums and via email. We share your surprise and disapproval. Vehicle Standards Information #50 (VSI 50). Please read the attached version of the new regulations here as they will affect every 4WDer, Caravan tourer, and performance car enthusiast. Here’s what it means in a nutshell. Any suspension modification up to and including 2 inches of lift, carried out after Saturday 1st August 2009 in NSW must be fully engineered or carry the manufacturer's approval. The total amount you are allowed to lift your 4WD from the ground is 50mm. That is it! This includes any combination of larger diameter tyres, bodylifts and suspension lifts. Any higher lift than this will only be eligible for conditional registration. For example a 4WD with a 2 inch suspension lift and tyres even 1 inch larger in diameter will not be able to be registered for daily on road use. Click here to download PDF from RTA website. 4WD Action strongly opposes this regulation. 4WD Action is shocked at the rapid implementation of this regulation and very concerned that no one from the 4WD industry, nor engineering signatories were consulted nor made aware of this move until its surprise release last week. This places question marks over the real motives behind the regulation and doesn’t even give the limited number of engineering signatories the time to approve the hundreds of suspension modifications made every week. The team at 4WD Action understands, abides by and promotes the need to modify 4WDs in accordance with sensible road regulations to ensure the safety of all road users. However this new regulation is unfair on responsible road users and based on false information. 4WD Action readers are enthusiasts who modify their 4WDs responsibly for a wide variety of reasons. These include, family touring, weekend camping, towing, volunteer rescue and clean up operations, trade work and driver training to name a few. VSI 50 affects everyone. Not just NSW based 4WDers. Please don’t think this regulation doesn’t affect you and your lifestyle. Even if you don’t live in NSW, if this regulation is accepted in NSW, there is a good chance it may be adopted in other states. If this unjust regulation goes unopposed by you and me, it will open the door for many more restrictions to be placed on how we modify our 4WDs. As 4WDers and taxpayers, it is time to show your opposition today! We will not have our rights as 4WDers trodden on anymore by an uninformed minority. We must band together, let your voice be heard now. This approach to improving road safety is like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. And it won’t show the desired improvement in road safety anyway. The real car hoons aren’t the people getting their suspension modified by professionals or using properly designed components. This is just punishing the responsible, law abiding road users. The Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA) in consultation with its members, have conducted extensive and appropriate testing using modified and standard 4WDs. This test utilised professional drivers and the latest in data logging technology as used in top level motorsport to prove that a range of 4WDs with 2 insh suspension lift and 2 inch larger diameter tyres, handled as well and in some cases better than the standard vehicles. This is being presented to relevant road authorities as they attempt to get this approved as a new national standard as in a National Code of Practice (NCOP). I agree that this is a more reasonable outcome. I propose we adopt the far more sensible NCOP approach which is based on fact and real test data using real 4WDs. That is 2inch suspension lift with a further 1 inch increase in tyre radius making a 3 inch increase in ground clearance before you need to seek engineering approval. this was taken from our local 4x4 monthly magazine website. it reallysux for us aussies. our first npora member to be affected will be cyril......... hope this doesnt pass.

SAS it

for the price of welding is it worth getting an old body from a wreckers (jy) and swapping over. a life isnt worth it. even if the body has been striped. most of the chassis get scraped anyway. probly pick it up for a good price.

hell yeh. always run new wires especialy if running a new head unit aswell. on all parts. this includes power and speaker wires. and put on a noise supresor while youre there just to get rid of the engine noise......if you have a descent set up always use good quality wire. get the crap stuff that usualy comes with them and turf it. well thats my experience and raining aswell. but everyone has different arguments with it all.

i tried the dealership and they wouldnt eplace so i went to the local baby shop and got a little bracket used on carseat belts. it holds a normal seat belt (lap and sash) together when kids are in a booster seat. works wonders. thanks for all the ideas guys..... ill post a pic when i can
