My brand new 1984 Patrol

[Kagiso II]

I had Lobo's enjin Fuel Injection off a 280Z fitted - worth every penny [NO stalling up steep slopes, even if I have to stop for some reason.
[BenHur did mine]
I think I still have one from a Skyline in the garage.

Probably ended up more fuel economical after that too i bet.

I have been eyeing a certain Patrol for quite a few months now. Yesterday, on my way to get some Nando's, I decided to stop and ask about it. I pulled it into my driveway this afernoon! It's a 1984 Patrol 160,2.8l 6 cyl, 152600km and in reasonably good shape. Obviously it needs some work and I already have a whole list of things that need to be done - a new paintjob being the first!
Oh yes - I paid R20 000...!

Man, how I love those LWB 160's!

There is a steel blue one that parks near my parking that has caused me to commit lust in my heart many times. It is definitely a highroof model and I think it is a TD 33T. At least in my fantasies, it is. :P

Something else to sort out: I had three very very very bad death wobbles in as many days. All would be well and I would hit a tiny insignificant little bump and the car would go mental! It got so bad that I had to stop dead and pull away again. After changing my rods...
I know it's a common thing and more or less what to look at. Hopefully the new suspension and new wheels with a proper alignment and balancing session will sort it out...

Sias which rods are those, the tie rods?

What you need is a strong Khaki broek?

[Herrie]

Check net die voorste nuts op die wiel bearings - daar is twee nuts met 'n lock washer tussen in - hulle gaan partykeer los.

Die lock washer werk nie altyd reg nie. Op my Safari ruk ek gereeld aan die voorste wiel om te voel of die nuts los is.

Ek het ook 'n fuel injection system met die ecu en electronic distibuter wat in in my garage is - wou dit op die Safari sit maar het besluit om hom standaard te hou.

my friend pieter (not mr connan )bought one for 15000 and i nearly gave him my 4.8 for that one !!!!!
