Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My ol man is gunna buy a 720.. I'm not real keen on the idea...

Can anyone convice me otherwise???

I havent seen one of these that has been real good yet......

It is an 85 mod.. Only used as a hack...

what probs do these have???

IFS mainly



Someone here bought one recently and decided he should have spent more money.

I have a friend who's had one for a long time so I'm not against the idea.

Check the thread here a few pages back

Spend a few extra dollars and atleast get a Navara. My uncle has a 720 with a Commodore V6 in it, and it still isn't half the vehicle my dads Tray Back Pathfinder is, or the Navara it replaced.

G60 is way better!

DONT DO IT!!!!!!! THEY ARE SHIT.

I am a one eyed Nissan man but I will reccomend you buy a Gutlux before a 720. If you have the extra money buy a Navara as they are much better.

720s are so crap in the bush it is embarrasing where they wont go. My mates one used to go up hills better in reverse than forwards.

The gearboxes are also a bit weak.

This is a nice 720!

Everything that u guys have told me I pretty much already knew...

Just thought there might of been a glimmer of hope for it..

Its typical tho he asked for my advice on what to buy and I told him to get a lux but..... he found this shitter and reckons its great and no 1 can convince him otherwise.......

Why ask for advice if u arnt gunna listen???

Dude, that looks so unsafe.

Don't do it. My 720 has more rust than panel steel But by some fluke its still road legal
Goes really well but the body is stuffed.

I do believe they use the same tranny as an L28 MQ/MK Patrol. Divorced transfer and all that. Could be wrong but I don't think so....perhaps it is just the transfer they share?

anymore info on parts interchange would be greatly apprecated.if the 720 has parts that will work on a mq that would be great.

Spot on RMP&O, they are also a bugger to get out, you have to remove the front diff to remove the tranny.

Navaras are one peice & so much easier to remove.

a tranny/tcase from a 720 will bolt into a mq?

Not sure weather it is exactly the same, they might be a lighter duty unit. The gearbox is the standard nissan 5 speed design used in all Datsuns during the 70s-80s. They had varioud different ratios and specifications.

PM RMP&O, he may be able to match the gearboxe through parts lists or dealer specs.

Does anyone know if there are diferent bodys that can bolt on to the 720s?

Navara perhaps?

A non rusted 720 cabin does not appear to exist in Australia

Don't worry its not isolated They are the same in NZ. I've been told that the early nivaras will bolt up and have even been given a good body (Nivara). Its about 4hrs away and as you know the 720 wouldn't tow the skin off a rice pudding. I'll do a mission with the trailer in tow soon. I don't have much choice......... The passenger window wiper is not secured at all neither is the passengers bonnet hinge, don't get me started on the sills and guttering. If I roll it............... I'm dead!!!!!!

Thanks for all the info fellas...

I will never buy one thats for sure!!

But he has decided to buy it....

Hope he enjoys the money he will be spending on it chasing the RUST...They are cruel machines. Atleast you can say I TOLD U SO.

does anyone know the high and low ratios of a 720 transfer case?
