A couple days ago I fixed my death wobble with polyurethane split bushings from (whiteline.com.au), got bushings through local Partsource store. Only took about 3 hours, pulled bolts out and was surprised that they still had gold color to them(looked almost new). Pushed out a few of the old steel sleeves and bushings with my fingers, i guess that explains the wobble. Not bad for a 26 year old truck, now all my bushings are done. Has about 420,000 km.

If you want LSD for front use, rear carrier from 300 ZX, should be a post on here how to do it. I lived in Shaughnessy for 4 years, moved back to Nova Scotia a year ago. If you need parts or work done try Useable Used Auto Parts on 238 31st North, they only deal with Nissans and Infinities. I bought an engine and trans from them, great place to deal with, prices were good and prompt. Pick-a-part by the airport is another good place. I bought a 1988 2-door from a young guy on the north side in 2010 for $500, still driving it.

I lived near Lethbridge, Alberta (2010-2013), bought a used 1994 VG30e (150,000 km) for $577.50 (tax incl) in 2010. Bought a transmission (w/overdrive, 140,000 km) in 2012 for $729.75 (tax incl). The guys there were great, they found me a transmission (hard to find a good one w/overdrive locally) on Vancouver Island, shipping was $150. Didn't take long to get it. Original engine had 388,000 km and trans had 430,000 km when changed, 2 years later drove to Halifax, Nova Scotia (5000 km) for $800 in gas, still working great.

Hello, new member here. I just recently bought an 88 XE-V6 2-door($500), i recently moved to Alberta from the East coast and wanted something i could take to the mountains to go fishing, a friend back east had a 88 Nissan 4X4 truck that was a blast to drive off road. I'm in the process of fixing a few holes(floor and rocker panels)and am building new bumpers(2x6 steel channel). Just got 4 31x10.5x15(slightly used for free).Was thinking about 35's, spring swap,crank torsion bars, body lift(3')and winch as winter project. AC not working, am thinking about convertin it to an air compressor with a small tank.
