Our navara's are utes with leaf sprung rear, and come in 2x4 and 4x4, single, king and dual cab. The 4x4 is 2" extended bodymounts. My Pathfinder is the same shape as the one in your sig.

I'm not sure what the 80's Pathinder 4 doors were set up with

Australia's 2 door Pathfinders are 2.4 litre 4cyl carby's, single barrel quickly looking at it. Dunno what type of carby, i'll get back to you on that. I haven't had any problems with the carby's on either of my D21's, exept the throttle linkage on one of them bent under the strain of the cable. I don't think we got the injected version of the Z24, the Navara's (utility version leaf spring rear) got the KA24E and the 2 door Pathfinders were discontinued in 1990 i think.

Mine's 87 and its carby! VG30DETT isn't the only variant of the turbo V6, i'm looking for the VG30ET motor from the first 300ZX, the Z31. Its single cam, single turbo, same era as the D21's, a very narrow engine from strut to strut compared to the twin turbo with no need to cut up the internal guards. I've been doing some looking and all you need to keep the Pathy 4WD is to have the manual bellhousing and gear retaining plate off the 300ZX and it bolts straight up to the Pathy V6's gearbox! They're just hard to find for cheap, at least in Australia, don't know about America.

What did North America get from Nissan instead of Patrol for the full size 4x4? I'm not sure what the equivalent of a hardbody is here (oz) but i've got a 2 door 4cyl and i'm planning to cut it down into a ute and hopefully find a Z31 300ZX turbo and use its engine, they're difficult find for cheap with a manual here.

Why not just put the body of a Pathfinder onto a short or mid-wheelbase 4x4? Surely there's a few 4x4's out there with similar track and width that have solid axle setups! Plus with the Pathfinder being the underdog to hilux/ 4runner/ surfs, we've got bugger all choice for different engines, so if you were to put the body onto a shorty Patrol or Cruiser etc you'd have better options for engine and adapting packeages wouldn't you? What would the setbacks be to this idea?

As the title says... i'm looking to upgrade the stopping power obviously. Thanks in advace! Is there even a disc reardiff in them? I'm gettng a bit confused looking throuh some sites as to what's available...
