Outer Limits 4x4 Board

im selling my zook to buy a gq, just wondering if there are any major things to look out for? and a rough price guide. im not fussy about condition, because as long as it has some vic reg on it, i can get a rwc. i just want it reliable and reasonably cheap. im looking at spending between 5k and 15k, depending on engine and accesories. any info helpful. thanks

First of all do you want a SWB, LWB or a a tray
Petrol motor crack heads, especially when on gas, the standard diesels are slugs, watch for rust aroung the rear window frames and floor and look for body mounts punching through the floor, mainly with lifted rigs.
Check for warn sincro's in the 5 speeds and also broken engine mounts, front seats get a bit dodgy and the LED clocks work when they want. Other than that they are pretty tuff.

im not fussy whether it is swb or lwb, but not a ute. i already have a ute haha, i would prefer a turbo diesel, but how slow is a standard diesel, is it as slow as the zook?

Well If you are used to the 79 F150 the diesel will be standing still.
Where in Melbourne are you.

compared to the f150 maybe, but compared to the zook?? flat chat with 33" tyres to help the gearing it does 100kmh, sometimes when the engine warms up it does 110!! im in carrum downs

so, what are they worth, and does any one have one for sale?? will buy either a stocky, or a modded one

Have a bit of patience, cause the first of the japanese GQ safari's are about to hit the grey import market.. All SWB, all factory turbo diesel, all the interior and exterior trimmings, etc... Most have 50-60k on them, and are still way cheaper than you can buy a flogged out local unit for..

good point carlton... the 15 year rule is about to apply! i have import hook ups if anyone is keen.

but didn't some of these safaris come with a high roof cab?

high roof = teh Grimace

they will all be shorties cause of the conflicting interest laws or some sh1t..

Fair trading laws? I think that's the one I am thinking of???

when are they due to arrive? how will they be equiped, diff locks etc?

BLING , BLING rear spoilers !!!!!

& LURVLY brown interiors !!!!!!

I don't really know?? I was talking to a mate last night, and he said a friend of a friend sort of arrangement had bought a sh1tload of them and was ready to send them over, so I hassled him a bit more this morning and he sent through some more info and that photo.. So they shouldn't be too far off, I guess?? How long does a boat take from japan? Customs clearance would have to take ages too, I guess??
The one in the photo is already quite possibly sold to someone on this board

i wonder who?

no more bjwagon stories

the high tops are indeeed the Grimace

wtf is Grimace

say it out loud! 8)

they will not be high roofs, cause they were only on the long ones, which can't be imported because nissan still brings in their own patrol wagons.

then when you buy the import one, give me the turbo-diesel for free for putting you on the right track 8)

Would zuki handle that?

then why buy a td42t? just get one locally without the engine

i want a td 42 in the patrol. the back wheels wont touch the ground if it had a clevo in it! it will be front wheel drive! i will keep the 351 in my dragster for when i want to go fast.

i just want a safari, so i can say i am on safari

so any idea wot price range these rigs are expected to be in?

Damn i should of waited a couple of months and i could of got a shorty with factory turbo :mad: Aswell as that way cool rear spoiler
