hey all
kinda interested in the early 90's terrano's. 2.7L turbo diesel...
wondering how they go more so up teh beach not really extreme stuff rocks n what not.
ive read that they arent to bad on fuel. and they look like they are quite roomey.
anywayss
anyfeed back welcome
and i realise they arent the best looking things.

also:
what are they like to get parts for and repair?

nissan xtrail.

my old man used to have the v6 model... i was pretty keen to get one... test drove the turbo diesel model... omfg they are so gutless.

hey i used to have the 2.7 turbo diesel auto terrano and i never had a problem i had it throught landcruiser park, on rainbow beach and out in the glasshouse mountains trails. the only mod a had was a podfilter in the factory airbox ,a snorkle and 31 inch tyres

[attachmentid=715097]

got a v6 88 model check me topics to see it but had 31 mudders on it and 2 inch lift was a great think on the beach (muddies not the best idea but still managed) and they are a very roomy car in the back seats especially

get one they should be fine up the beach they are just like any other ifs 4wd out there.

my ifs 4runner has no trouble getting along the beach

i would not go with near a terrano with a 10 foot pole
worst 4wd. south african build quality. fark that

Sorry IFS? yeah
arent the surfs shit, and the 4runners are the go?


what do u have to support this? like i dont wanna take advice from people who havent used em... or been in em or known someone with em ect. and its not like id be doing full on 4wding, just up the beach, round north shore fraser maybeee no rock climbing lol

IFS- Idependent Front Suspension

yeah 4runner have the tougher diesel unless you get the 3 litre turbo diesel surf, i think the little 2.4's had trouble with cracking heads

They go fine on the beach, just lower your tyre pressures.
Mine went great, although lifted, boosted and intercooled with a locker.

they never had trouble... they did it just fine.

2.7td terrano's are good rigs. auto is a bit slow, but I've never actually seen a manual one to compare to.

it you are picking one up cheap enough go for it... but in a similar price range you can get a TD pajero, or an old 60 series land cruiser... you could even get a gq patrol... but you wouldnt.

i'd buy one if it came with a chick on the bonnet

sorry cvbass i had to say it, no disrespect to the girl

ot: get the terrano they look pretty good going by the way cvbass's looked

also if you park on the beach park with your nose facing the water so gravity can help you to get moving and lower the risk of getting bogged

yeah, anyone know what they are like to get parts for?

seen heaps on bribie beach looked like they handled the beach well aslong u lower tyre pressure should have no problems

for parts also look for pathfinder, very similar

or the arse end facing the water... cos cars have a backwards gear too...

very true but the chance of getting bogged is there when you have to move forward again....

if you are worried about parts just contact your local spare parts store and ask them whether they;d be able to get parts for it.
i have seen a heap at wreckers though so it shouldn't be too hard

Pathfinders have the same body, suspension etc, and the motors were used in some Navaras, just always say its for either one of them when looking for parts, or they will try to charge you an arm and a leg for your 'import' parts.

yeah. im still considering the sierra / vitara option
as they are cheap to fix and run. just not sure if i want something bigger.

i had the sierra and there awsome, but then i got something a bit bigger. either way your gona have plenty of fun.
