The bolts that secure the calipers to the steering knuckle are up for replacement. Does anyone know the original Nissan spec? Looking at what's come off on mine, they're hex heads stamped 6 and appear to be 1/2" 20 unf (?) . I would have thought they should be metric M12 1.25 thread. A M12 x 1.25 above 8.8 grade (with a hex head) is a rare thing around here.. To add to this, the old bolts wont thread into new/ refurb calipers. Which again makes me doubt the old set up.

Are we talking fast zombies or slow zombies?

You could wait for a decent truck to come up for sale on the forum. They're usually pretty well documented so you'd know what you were getting. I'd also narrow the list of alternative trucks by getting rid of anything without a frame, ie no unibodies. The more metal under you the better.

If the rear of a 1992 WD21 has discs/rotors, does this increase the chances of it also having a LSD?

Supercharger!

I dont know anyone that does. I went as far as using Shell Helix which has a built in detergent in for the first few changes and then moved onto whatever oil takes my fancy. If you were really concerned you could get your used oil tested.

Ah that sounds pretty idyiic. I wont tell you about the flood damage around Seaton and Looe.. Whitsand bay is as beautiful as ever I have found http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/ to be very informative for WD21s. It's a New Zealand offroading forum but every other member seems to have Pathfinder/ Terrano and know their stuff. Might be worth a rummage. If there are no clues in there i'd go as far as to say its going to be a rebuild of self discovery.

The R20 diesel was turbo from day one (1993) and the autobox was available in that 93-96 period. They jiggled it about in 1996 with some significant changes like the intercooler and fueling. I dont know if the autobox specs changed at that point but the manual box was definitely altered. If you could find the FSM for that 93-96 period that would be your best bet. Redruth! I don't even like going over the Tamar these days I dont know how you made it to Canadia. I drove through there the other day getting to Stithians reservoir. I can assure you it's still there and not changed since you left. I'm from the Seaton/ Downderry area and know naff all about autos and the witchcraft inside goodluck!

The R20 used the TD27T, TD27T i and came with an auto. Have you checked out that FSM? it appears pretty thorough regards overhaul.

Could you lift it with some farm equipment and brace it with some badass bits of wood + straps. Or lift up the back end with tractor and move it 500ft that way. Or pick up the whole damn thing sideways on? Or make some sort of ski for the back and drag it.

I ordered some and they definitely turned up. Yet to open the box got a nice elephant on the label. Genuine nissan cost a small fortune.

If it still has the EGR fitted you either want to remove/ blank it or clean out the 21 years worth of crap within. Check all the pipes from the injectors back, i'd guess air is getting in the fuel somewhere it shouldnt. Anything interesting coming out of the exhaust?

Worth a read - http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/-warped-brake-disc-and-other-myths "..even if the brakes are properly broken, if, when they are very hot or following a single long stop from high speed, the brakes are kept applied after the vehicle comes to a complete stop it is possible to leave a telltale deposit.." Essentially, it's more likely to be pad transfer than warped discs.

mebe they are enkrypt3d?
