Terrano/Mistral in Australia

[Offroad-Events]

I've seen a few back in 2001 when I was down in WA for a couple of weeks. Wonder how long they've been on the market in Oz, which engines and is there any aftermarket parts for these in Australia ? The chassis is 99.5% off the first gen. Pathfinder / Terrano with only minor changes.
This is mine:
'04 Terrano 3.0Di with the ZD30, 2" lift and 265/70-16's

Thanks, but this IS a Terrano II.

OK, Nissan calls it the Terrano III (R20) internally because of the different (longer) front clip to fit the ZD30.

The TD27 was the most ordered engine here.

Is this Terrano IIs are worth buying? Dont tell me if it is cheap,buy it. How are theirs off road performance? Do they have a factory fitted LSD or open diff? How are they on road?

As far as I know all terranos were rear LSD equipped but you'd have to check your local market's specs. Manufacturers vary so much from country to country....

As far as I know they all have the LSD rear end. I did 50.000 km's in mine the last year, everything from fast highway (top speed with the ZD30 and bigger tires is 190 km/h @ 4500 rpm redline), country roads of all kinds and a few thousand km offroad. In stock form the suspension is a bit low and underdampened. Get some stiffer shocks, I recommend Trailmaster (the european ones, not the US ones) and you're set for most conditions. They're pretty reliable and can follow a stock Patrol nearly everywhere when the driver knows how to handle the IFS.
