Sunshine Coast for me I'm afraid, wouldn't mind a wee trip oop north it's bloody cold down here..... iPom

Thanks again Pro Nav for the invaluable advice. I've been back in the United Kingdom for the past three weeks or so and didn't go near a computer (Too busy on the pi$$) so apologies (again) for the delay in responding. I've access to mig, tig, and mma so the only choice to make is material. From...

Sorry about the delay in replying lads... didn't realise you both had replied. Thanks for the heads up on the seats I'll be watching the Bay with interest. Would Patrol seats fit by any chance, I saw a complete front and rear set for $100 the other week in the paper. Pro-Nav... It never...

Hi James, welcome to the forum. Glad to see some more Poms on here! I'm originally from Lancaster, Lancashire. I emigrated with my Aussie wife two and half years ago and still lovin it! All the best iPom

She's had a hard life methinks...... 371,000 ks on the odometer!!!. It's on a 2nd reconditioned engine I think as there is yellow paint pen writing on the rocker cover and the front differential. I'm not sure about the gearbox though, both the shift boot and release fork boot were shot to pieces...

Thanks for the quick reply Pro-Nav. I've got the shifter out at the moment as I am replacing the rubber boot which was shredded so I will add 4L through the shifter hole. Many thanks again Dave

Can anyone tell me the correct amount of oil for a 1992 d21 transmission? I'm asking this question because the Haynes manual says 4L yet when I first filled it 6 weeks ago I could only get 3L in. I've since read on an American forum that Nissan placed the filler plug too low on the D21 and that...

Cheers Dave, will try the old bang the dash trick. I might even pull the dash apart and have a wee butchers at the gauge. I'll give it a few taps first though. I'm hoping to have the old girl on the road before Easter so might give the dash pull out a miss. Thanks for the heads up mate. iPom

Right Lads, After running the engine on the D21 for twenty minutes I noticed that the Temp Gauge hadn't moved at all. I went and bought a new Temp Sender and ran the engine again for twenty minutes. This time the gauge moved to just past the 'C' mark. I felt the top hose of the radiator and it...

Cheers for the support lads. It's been a bit of a grind(pardon the pun) at times but I have and still are enjoying the build. All up I reckon I will get it back on the road for $2000 which is pretty good. A good point is that I have done (except for the gearbox) all the work myself which is very...

Originally from Lancaster 'Oop North' in the Uk. Now living at Kawana on the Sunshine Coast and lovin it.

How do add more photos to this thread? I could not seem to do it using quick reply?

Thanks lads, The list of things to do is; Rebuild gearbox. Done by a mate for $600!! Now fittted New windscreen. Getting fitted next week. New 1/4 glass passenger door. Replace exterior weather strips both doors Grill missing. Repair rust holes in foot well, drivers side sill (Done) Repair...

Well I promised you lads some photos and here she is... she's a work in progress so no laughing ok...:suicide: As you can see she's a wee bit rough but as you Aussie say "She'll be Right!" iPom These are early stage photos from last year, I'll post up some more very soon.

Hi lads, got the transfer case in and drive shafts, bled the clutch (more of that later) and took her for a wee spin round the bock (No RWC, no rear lights, no tray, no bumper bar you get the picture!). Anyway did'nt seem to have any dramas other than a squeal coming from the shaft where it...

Thanks Shonky, that sounds like great advice, I had a feeling it would be down to balancing of the shafts relative to the case. I had a nagging thought it would be more of an internal issue. I'll sleep easy tonight knowing i'll at least be able to rectify the problem. Once again many thanks for...

Right lads here we go first question!!! When I first bought my $500 nugget the previous owner had removed the gearbox and transfer case due to a problem with the gearbox. I've since had the gearbox rebuilt and refitted it a couple of days ago. Tomorrow I'm going to fit the T/case and drive...

Hi, my first uneducated guess would be a set of extractors, that should release a few extra ponies, a good service (oil/filters etc.) and general tune up would be a good starting point.

Hulo matey... another D21!!!!.... Strength in numbers methinks! Just joined myself a couple of days ago and looking forward to being part of this forum. All the best iPom
