Hi from Sweden,
This will be my first post on here but at least my 100th time visiting – I just picked up a German import 1994 Terrano V6 4WD AT a few weeks back for roughly $350 USD, and I'm hooked.
Charcoal grey metallic with grey leather interior, in decent shape aside from some serious body rust and a bad fuel injector, this thing previously served as a fishing expedition vehicle, traveling all over Europe with a 20-foot boat in tow. After it developed an engine misfire, it was quickly replaced with a newer truck and parked in a driveway where it sat for over two years.
It wasn't in great shape when I went to go see it, but a jump start had it up and running almost immediately. I was able to drive it home on the freeway with no major issues, and I've since spent a few days a week wrenching on it in the driveway.
Having previously owned a first-generation Infiniti G35 back in the states, I'd always consulted forums like these to learn how to perform all maintenance, repairs, and upgrades myself. And it's definitely nice to be back in the Nissan family with such a helpful resource as this one.
So far the list of fixes includes an oil change, new battery, new rear quarter window, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, new key, new stereo, rear spare tire latch repair, and some surface rust removal/repainting. A new set of fuel injectors is currently on the way from Australia – I'm thinking I might as well replace a few gaskets while I have the intake manifold out. Will be consulting the 94 FSM that's floating around.
Let me know if you have any tips!
Thanks all
