Ahh good stuff! Just as entertaining as the old vw vortex thread about the crub, fents, and burshes from back in the day!

Didn't see this here so I thought I'd pass it on. Settle in and prepare to laugh http://www.bcsportbikes.com/forum/showthread.php/146566-Build-to-Fail-Fail-to-Build.-What-is-this-I-don-t-even.....

Whatever floats your boat

is it the same with all the windows? (do any other windows work when the one is question does not?) find the wires that operate said window once you unplug the harness from the switch panel and jump them using a small jumper wire and see if the window works.... second thought, unplug the harness from the switch panel while listening to the breaker. there could be a short in the switch itself. also, you may have to wait a bit to see if the breaker resets.

not me! I drive like the four horsemen are hot on my tail and still get 17mpg

yeah I get 17MPG with my stock '91 on 31" tires and thats between city and hwy. (~500km/tank)

"there is no try, only do." BTW, I live just across the line and spend many of my weekends in bellingham..... interested in wheeling? I used to go to sumas mountain but they finally did a much better job of blocking the trail..

ahhhh that's a fantastic idea! never heard of such an animal and I had wondered about how a guy would correctly time an engine if he got it partially put back together and had no way of trusting the timing that was done by the previous guy. sometimes perfect TDC is very hard to find without being able to go by timing marks with the head on. These things sold at auto parts stores or usually just off snap-on or mac trucks?

I know where you're at with this, Ive been there many times but always chickened out. You're planning on dropping the coin anyway, take a day and fly out there (you can find some pretty cheap flights if you don't care about the comforts. What's another $400 on top of the price if it means you know for sure what you're getting? Would you be going and driving it back or having it shipped? If you're going to drive it back anyway, just go buy it in person but plan on the possibility of ponying up for a standby airfare to come back with your pockets still somewhat full. Better to gamble a few hundred than lots of thousands on what is really nothing more than a pig-in-a-bag. I love those cars man, Good luck!

From what I understand (I was curious about this too) most people just extend it but those who plan to tread a lot of really deep water, I heard of going a bit further and venting the diff inside the cabin (not sure of the details as to how this is done exactly, but would assume just a simple drilling of a hole, a grommet, and some silicone would do the trick) but I would mount the end of the vent tube right behind the tail light where there's a nice easy access panel conveniently put there by the good folks of Nissan.

I had always wondered about what I refer to as a momentary locker which would be either electrically controlled or something as simple as a camble activated locker for my front diff. I just basically want something for the odd time when I want to crawl over a log or go up an exceptionally greasy bank/ditch

Well I'm kind of an ass so.... Irish also

Kiss my ass, It's Irish!!

Thanks I miss it, I sold it last fall. I loved how quick it was and how crazy it was in the corners (it was lowered 80mm, or 3.15 inches) I would drive down paved roads where the centre of the lane was a little higher than the tracks (nothing out of the ordinary)and the chin spoiler (lower valance) would be constantly dragging. It got tons of love from the local vw drivers here. I have owned something stupid like 10 VWs in the past 7 years haha
