Are they press studs all the way around Screwy? How did that go with rain?

Zer0, I've seen those two pics. I think they belong to Screwy and Dr Frankenstien. Thanks but I'm looking at closer pics for what I'm after. Rockrover, I know what you mean and I've thought about that myself. My old FJ40 had a soft top and the front of it fastened to the front of the windscreen. The ...

Hello all,

I'm making a soft top for my MQ and I'm after ideas or designs for attaching the canopy to the roof.

I'm specifically after pics from those with them fitted and tips from those that still retain the capability to fit the old hard canopys.

Thanks Guys.
The more pics the better.

Just a quick one Gurus'

I've mate up some 1 inch body blocks for my MQ/MK. Anyone know what size bolts I'll need to suit??

Cheers
Lewie

I've called this place as per NAM's post but they didn't know anything about an $8 kit. They want $50 from me.

Maybe they stuffed up? Or maybe I didn't ask nice enough.

Anyone else called these guys??

Lewie

Evening boys and girls, Does anyone know if my 84 MK shares the same brake calipers with any other models? I'm looking at buying a kit for my fronts on Ebay but there are no MQ/MK kits available. Cheers Lewie Here is the ad: NISSAN PATROL GU Y61 SERIES FRONT BRAKE CALIPER KIT. SUITS ALL Y61 SERIES ...

By the look of the pics it dosn't look like there have been any mods to the canopy.

I have the same canopy on mine, but I'm really after pics of the inside and how the soft top attaches.

Thanks anyway. nice rig.

Anyone got a roll bar on their MQ/MK with a hard top/soft top? I'm asking because I'm looking into making a roll bar up but would also like to keep the hard top I have at the moment. I'm also looking at making a soft top but I'm a little stumped when it comes to attaching it across the roof. If ...

Wallace,
I've got my eyes open for one at the moment also.

If you can find a ripped of otherwise stuffed one, send it to me and I'll make you a new one. (also one for myself while I'm at it!)

Cheers
Lewie

BEWARE!!

If you're gunna take to the spring packs with an oxy to open up the leaf retainers...

Make sure you don't press down on the one you've just bent to keep the pack steady while someone bents the other end!!

Jebus it stung like a biatch!!!

(chicks dig scars!)

Cheers chops,

Funds are a little tight at the moment which is why I'm trying to do it myself. Plus, if it goes well, maybe I could make some more up at a later stage for some extra $$$.

Thanks anyway,
Lewie

Hi all, I'm after a SWB canopy for a Nissan MQ Patrol. Here's the deal. If you have a busted or torn or just stuffed (including windows) canopy for an MQ send it to me and I'll repair it for you. Here's the sneaky part. While I'm repairing yours, I'll make a pattern and whip one up for myself! I am ...

Mate, I had the same problem in my MQ recently. I've not long changed the front bearings in my MQ and a friend of mine helped me and passed on some valuable knowledge. I'm glad he helped me as he said to just do them up just finger tight or less (just enough so you feel resistense on the nut ...

Hi all, With regards to engineering certs for body blocks, does anyone know if they HAVE to be one piece? What I'm doing at the moment is cutting 1in body blocks from a 1in thich chunk of alloy. See pic. Is there any problem with putting a bolt through two of these together if I decide to go to 2in ...

A little too good to be true. Was quoted $50 per side

Lewie

GOLD. THANK YOU!!

Hi all, I'm looking to replace the seals inside the front calipers on my MQ/MK. I had some troubles with the wheels being bloody hard to turn by hand. Thought it was the bearings but it's the brakes. I pulled them apart and found a lot of gunge in them so I cleaned them up nice and fitted the old ...

Howdy,

Anyone know where I can get a 350 block and heads hot tanked in the Sydney, Richmond area?

I also have a cam i need to get measured up as I have no details for it.

Cheers
Lewie

fnq,

Mine looks very similar. Never heard of an SQ before though. Is it an overseas model?

If no-one has guessed yet, I'm not quite up to speed on Patrols but I'm soaking up as much as I can.

Yep. There are lights in the rear bar. It's not that big a deal really. I would just like to know for sure. I'd feel like more of a fool than I do now if someone asked me what I had and said it was an MQ only to find out that is wasn't. Cheers Lewie It's not looking good for the fella I bought it ...

Hi all, I posted up a question a little while ago about "Is there some such Patrol as a G-Pack?" The reason I did this is because the guy I bought it from turned out to be full of shyte. Now I have reason to doubt if it s even an MQ! I checked out the L28 Engine number threat i the bible but found ...

I thought the same thing when I did the front wheel bearings i my MQ. Looks a bit rude but apparently that's just how they are.

By the looks of it, someone has been there before you.

Lewie

Just took the front wheels and calipers off. The wheels spin freely so my calipers need a service. :cry: Is this the sort of thing you can do yourself or is it best left to a pro? Does anyone know of a mob in Sydney that would come up the the Blue Mountains (Winmalee) to sort this for me or is there ...

Cheers mate.

I'll give it a crack tomorrow and post the results.

Lewie

I'm assuming from .... id say your wheel bearings are way too tight... you mean the wheel bearing lock nuts?? When I did them I had a mate with me and he said to do them up a little over finger tight. From memory. Does this sound right? Is that what you mean? If not, let me know so I can sort it ...

Howdy, I've noticed that rotating the front wheels, by hand (obviously jacked), is bloody hard. The first time I noticed it was a while ago while I was replacing the front wheel bearings. I thought as time went by the brakes would loosen up and release the pressure. They haven't. It feels like ...

Screwey gave me a tutorial on leaf packs and added a few leafs to my packs. The front end was sagging a little.

Are they the stock ones??

Thanks guys, I did the cutting disk option. Took me 5 minutes eachside. One pin and bush literally fell out but the other is stuck like shyte to a blanket so I'll have to do a little persuading with that one. I called up Pedders to see how much new pins and bushes would be. He said he'ddo me a deal ...
