I had a very nice 04 Taco built up like yours. Traded for an FJ60 with a v8 and have not looked back. Currently own an 80 with a v8. No more Tacos for me, only Cruisers. :) Cheers

Well I finally got my diesel engine rebuild kit in route. Along with axle rebuild kits (just need the seals) and a few other bits. Should all be here from Australia in less then a week. Hope to get a turbo injection pump from a guy who has a container coming any day from Europe. At that point I...

heh, no Juke's man. I am strictly Patrols. Good point though about the 3d printer, thats hows you re-make plastic for sure. Oh and I will be 82 in 2044 so plan to be retired for sometime by then! :) Cheers

Bit of info on this one... Early (pre-66) oil filter housings base did not have a check valve built into them. This particular housing base is from a later model Patrol P engine due to this. Without the check valve the oil drains back down into the sump and every time you start it, it is a...

So working through my punch list to finalize the 64 chassis now that everything came back from the platers. NOS detent balls and zinc plated springs. In front of my hand is the cap bolts which I had zinc/yellow chromate plated. This if for t-case shifters, restored to like new condition and...

No doubt, perhaps you could sue the dealership if the fed's seized it!? Beats me and I am not touching it but it is sweet, in the states and has a Florida title. Cheers

The 2005 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Other-2005-nissan-patrol-4-x-4-manual-transmission-clean-title-fl-car-/221550863203?forcerrptr=true&hash=item339575e363&item=221550863203&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Just spoke to the seller on the phone. Truck comes from Venezuela. Came in on a 365 day permit...

Cheers

Thanks and yup, best salsa there is so have lot's of containers around! Good eye! ;) Just a taste of what is to come, original bolts and locking washer tabs for the Warn hubs I had plated. Cheers

Well, the last few days has been getting the 66 soft top ready to take to the upholstery shop. I wanted to yank the motor and trans before it went in. The truck is now on the trailer and ready to go for tomorrow morning. I am using a shop in Casper so have to road trip 4-5hrs each way...

Procar seat showed up last week. I bought directly from Scat, took less than a week to get here. Pretty stoked on this, 23yrs on my stock one and 245,000 miles! Scored a HUGE load of parts yesterday from a buddy. Everything from sun roof to dash cap (uncracked) to interior bits to heater...

The 67 is a real gem and cleaned up nicely. It is so pretty I have to share. Original Koito headlights A/C original windshield, no chips or cracks The 64's engine which runs pretty good. Need to test compression though. Nice seats in the 64 64's trans hump with the...

Two Patrols showed up today at the shop. Both from Colorado. A 1964 and a 1967. We will be making one solid Patrol from the two. The 64 is supposedly solid mechanically. Brakes worked very well when unloading it. The carb looks recently rebuilt and is a rare early Hitachi. Obviously this...

Agree, way to much plastic these days. Hence one of the reasons I love old trucks! And on that note, this Patrol should outlast most 2014 vehicles by a long shot. :) Cheers

I spent some time separating all the plated parts. A few items I even stuck in their final resting place. Amazing to me how these 50yr old parts came back to life. To me this is what restoring is all about! I am sure I have said it before but much of this hardware gets painted body color. Nissan...

Well, I ordered up a HUGE load of parts for this truck from Nissan last night. Believe it or not there is still a ton of parts that show up in the Nissan database for old Patrols. if you have the right part numbers that is. I myself have not tried to order up any parts from Nissan for an old...

Well, this showed up so it is go time on the project. Unfortunately I don't have much time until next week. This is zinc with black chromate, I really like the finish zinc with yellow chromate plain zinc 50yr old hood support re-newed 50yr old seat sliders look brand new Cheers

Ya I have seen that one listed, thanks for the link but what I need it good quality (new) turbo parts. Looks like the SD33 has been sitting in the weather awhile, don't think it is worth much over $100. Inside it will be toast if it sat in the rain. Cheers

Well, thought I would share this with the Nissanheads here on ExPo. As some/most of you probably know I have been working on this for going on 3yrs. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/75223-1964-Nissan-Patrol-soft-top-restoration/page22 Now that has kind of evolved into a back to...

Pretty big score on the trade. Being a Nissan guy I would think something like this suits you better http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/nissan/auction-772496060.htm But since there is so few in the US currently, you made a good choice. The Cruiser is a very well built truck too! Cheers
