the one in my car has been butchered and put back together but i have continuity checked every wire that has been fucked with and they all check out good. 

Can you check voltages at each end instead of continuity? A broken wire with 1 strand still touching may have continuity and a voltage drop.

You have a good memory

Wow, that all looks very exciting. I’m sure everything will happen down to the minute as indicated in the agenda. I really must get my secretary to confirm my accommodation.

Needs a third axle 

Don’t need a cert to switch to flat deck/send it.

Dimensions: https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vehicle-exterior/dimensions

(see tables and images)

You can have 4m past the rear axle.

would you have looked twice at it, then checked the sheet?

Nah, I don’t think so.

That doesn’t look dangerous to me. 

Thins angle shows the ‘stretch’ better. I suspect most wof inspectors wouldn’t think there was a problem there.

So this is still the go to chart?

Yes

As a WOF guy I have seen stretched tyres that I thought would fail, but were ok according to the LVVTA tyre chart, so if they are outside of the tyre chart specs they must be obviously super stretched and you should fail.

Bloody kids these days. Get off my lawn.

EGR no rules. DPF if first registered before 2010 can delete. Post 2010 can be legal with an emissions test.

Pajero is bigger than the Nissan. Does size mater? As above check for rust in the Terrano, especially under the back seat. I think you just need to test drive both of them and see which one has the least rattling engine and least knocking suspension. End of the day they are old trucks and you get what you pay for.

That could be a factor to your fault code

Should be. Do you have a scan tool?
The reason I ask about the oil level is this may be how the fault code is triggered. Diesel diluted oil will raise the oil level.

Any other codes or lights on the dash. Is the oil level perfect (do not overfill). Oil gets diluted by diesel when it does a dpf regen. It should evaporate after some hot (highway) driving.

Send @Truenotch a message 

Same same.

Old chain is worn/ stretched. New chain should not be exactly where the old one was. To be safe, once the new chain is on, turn the engine over by hand 2 revolutions to ensure valves don’t touch pistons. Don’t forget to check your ignition timing once it’s running.

Ah shit. Due to unforeseen circumstances we will be unable to attend.

sorry @Mourning Cupcake
