Hi all,

I want to go as a spectator with my son but iam a little worried about viewing locations and vantage points.

Is it spectating from afar or can we actulally get on the rocks??

i will research both for now ..

thanks for the start ..

you are going to spend a fortune whatever you do. GPS is expensive. Maps for GPS is expensive. Paper maps are cheap in comparison ...

hi all,

don't know about most of you guys but, whenever I go bush, i get lost.

i do all my prep work before hand ie print off google maps .. and still manage to get lost.

today i decided to checkout Colo Heights where i ve never been before .. i drove all that way and couldn't find a single ...

picked up a 95 80 series last weekend .. and both stock flares are a little damaged and need new seals between the body and gaurd.

where can i source this stuff from ? i also need new clips too.

cheers.

yeah your right .. does look a little off .. will post some pics.

i might drop it down to 4" lift and keep the wranglers ..

howdy all ,

got myself a 80 Series today with 173k on the clock .. auto, 4.5L dual fuel, 11months rego, 33" wranglers, 6" Coil lift on tough dogs.

gq for value or 80 if you want to spend more$$

look around i found my mate an 80 series, diesel with aftermarket turbo setup, front bar, brush bars only had 250000kms and had a detroit in the rear and it was $5500 if you look arounf the PRIVATE sales you can find a bargin car yards will mark up ...

sorry .. just don't like the look of the rangies .. id prefer to stick with jap technology.
So really the title should read " Most capable Jap fourby wagon under 8k " :?:

I am back in the market for a 4x4 after 2 1/2 yrs without one. Had to sell my XJ Jeep after my 1st son was born and now that ...

and the disco ! ..

sorry .. just don't like the look of the rangies .. id prefer to stick with jap technology.

Aint that a contradiciton in terms , coz the patrol/ cruiser is so advanced :rofl:

haha nice one.

but i was looking at a yard on the weekend .. and there was a couple of disco's on show .. and i ...

damn .. very hard choice .. i might have to step back down to a GQ with a 4.2d if i can find one.

now iam even considering the zooks

nah not interested in the beach at all.

but seems the 2.8td is hard to avoid since the 4.2td is hard to find for a good price.

iam starting to get turned off the whole GU "Slash" Nissan bit ..

now considering ..

80 Series
Prado

so should manual be a must .. i used to own a XJ cherokee and the auto offroad was awesome, although the 4.0l straight six did help

yeah iam already on patrol4x4.com

i suppose the 4.5l petrol with GAS is another option ?

something like this but with GAS >> http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:IT

yeah .. the 4.2td is hard to get .. bugger

hmm .. the 4.2td would drink much more fuel then the 2.8td ??

my xr6 turbo does 15L/100kms .. its just way too much.

Hi Guys,

I posted here a few weeks ago about most capable fourby for under 9k. Seems the GQ got the nod over most.

Now ive decided to part with the 2nd car (03 Ford XR6 Turbo) and upgrade to a GU 1999-2001 model as the sale value of the Ford should match the buy value of the Nissan.

Can please ...

a forum member (not stock) has enticed me with his Maverick, which can be seen <here> http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic195385.php

It's 92 Maverick with a 351 up front. It's a nice capable offroader, but iam not sure of its practicality with the Gased V8 ...

Fantastic Advise ![/quote]
Are you taking the piss?

Can anybody confirm the maximum lift for NSW roadworthiness? I thought it was 2" or 3" total.[/quote]



Not at all .. Iam learning about the GQs and i thought that was good advise.

What would you say about a injected 3.0L GQ ?

this looks quite good .. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=8044428&__Qpb=true&Cr=8&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__No=30&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%20463%20412%204294963846%204294963358 ...
