the fsm says oil pressure should be 36 to 85 psi at 3000rpm. (and at least 4.3 at idle)

High oil pressure is common in a 2h caused by the relief valve sticking. That could be your problem.

NSW car licence is up to 4.5 tonne and 12 or less seats.

Re: V8 100 series Fuel Consumption??

rebuild transfer case time.

i assume by pinion you mean the output flange - which isn't actually a pinion. either way the bearing is knackered.

Couldn't tell you how much it would cost, but i doublt it would be much. as far as i know there is know special tools or heavy lifting involved.

i have the hand pump you put on a 20l drum. Works well but is a pain as a one man job unless you're under a hoist.

other option i've used is a cheap drill operated oil/water pump you can buy from bunnings. That and some clear ttubing and a cordless drill is pretty easy and clean.

if it happened suddenly it's probably not the plugs, but the timer/relay/fuse or a wire somewhere. I think the timer and relay are one unit. if the plugs are original they could probably do with replacing anyway edit - It may also be at the back of the motor on no.6 plug. there is a metal bridge ...

don't think not being a nissan has anything to do with it. just refill the rad (and fix the leak) and try and start it. if it idles fine take it for a spin. (make sure you leave it idling with the rad cap off to bleed air though)
