So seats have been a bit of an issue. The factory drivers one was fucked when I got it, so tracked down a pair of terrano seats a long time ago and have been rolling them. They were better but not great. Then a bench seat popped up locally (and we all know bench seats are superior) in reasonable condition and cheap cheap, so nabbed that and figured I'd need to get creative to make room for the shifter. Thankfully I was wrong! And being tall helps as I want the seat as far back as it can go for leg room anyway. It can move forward enough that the misses should still be able to reach the pedals, and back tips forward so can still get people in the back seats. Just needs a seat cover/nice blanket to top it off. Chuffed. Excuse the mess....

Awesome thanks. Will set my alarm accordingly.

Long time listener, second time caller. Rough leaving time for Friday morning departure?

Clean undies each day, brush your teeth twice a day. And don't forget to milk the cows.

Leave approved, form filled, and I rode bike to work today so I'm ready. @Truenotch /dad I'm pretty sure you've got my back for accom both nights yeh?

Sorry for being Captain Obvious, but is there a reason a person with your clear mechanical ability didn't just pull the hub off to replace the wheel stud? Would have been child's play no? Or is the hub pressed into the carrier and what not?

So good! Count me in, happy to make a donation

Hell yeh! Mine will soon be wellside anyway

Happy now @Nominal? Made it look like a car again and when for a drive to the servo to pump up the tires. Everything does what it's meant to other than the heater (as you can tell by the steamy windows) as I didn't plump it in when swapping the motor due to not having the right size hoses. So that's next on the list. Otherwise does what it says on the box and goes sssshhhhhrrrreweeoooooaassh when you give it the beans which is A++

More haulage

It's alive! Threw the rebuilt injectors in and seems happy as. Drove around the block and makes all the right noises and not too many of the bad ones. Next steps are to put the front back together so it looks like a car again and then start chipping away at the rest of the issues including but not limited to cracked windscreen, bald front tires, no cert, no wof, no reg.

No pics/lame progress update. Picked up a new battery as old one was chooched. Threw that in and started up like a champ. Still isn't quite happy and seems to intermittently drop a cylinder (i.e. exactly how it was when I left it, surprise surprise). I know this engine is OK(ish) so worth persisting. Pulled the trigger on some rebuilt injectors so will see if that helps. It makes choo choo noises again so I'm calling that progress.

@Geophy may have some suggestions

Second time in my life. Both Nissans in fact.

This is still going strong. Broke a set of points on it while being a dirtbag in the wet which was lol. Have also been chasing an intermittent misfire/stumble, so it's ended up with pretty much all new ignition bits other (points, cap, rotor, coil, leads). Also pulled the carb off for inspection and clean. Hasn't fixed it, but hasn't made it worse either so I'll just keep on keeping on. Did a service today, next one is the big 300,000km! Oh, and some decent headlight bulbs have made night driving much more pleasurable/bearable. Have some assorted load hauling pics

Beauty. Adv50 will be on duty again. Won't be able to keep up with all the medium bike sooks but so be it.

Just general punishment/butt shattering/technical difficulty etc. Marku has pretty much answered it for me so I'm happy as!

As a cape virgin, how does the ride compare to the te urewera loop?

You beauty! Should probably get my bike running then!

Keen for hicks bay hookup! Would also not say no to a real bed in gisborne (sorry hemi haha)
