oh what a nissan feeling! Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 thanks guys! I used the same method and rubbers on my pajero, it has worked really well and creates no engine vibes through the car at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My came york trip is in two weeks, i have spent the last 2 months preparing for it, practically re-building my camper trailer, and also some serious work to the pajero. my welder died today, so not happy.

StasIII Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Is that like a M6 bolt holding the engine up thru the mounts ? bit on the small side don't you think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 thanks for the tip champ, the other side had a lead pencil in it, thinking about changing that too. Finally pulled my finger out and got the cage mod plated today. 4 seats still too. was wanting to get my seats done at the same time, but can't find the time to do the seats. So we have: LA1 LB1 LD2 LM1 LA3 LG2 LH8 on four different plates.....will be 5 with the seats, may as well paint the car blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 did some paint today. rear of car re-done, needed some more smoothness than previous rocker cover Repainted the section above the engine where i had to strip it back so the chassis numbers are readable. A few other bits got some silver or green. And most importantly the front and rear crossmembers are painted, I can now finally put the car back on the ground, and move it to the shed.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 thanks mate. engine finally all bolted in. Turbo, dump pipe, exhaust, wastegate all together for the last time. I moved the car back in the shed now it is finally on its wheels again. A bit of a mission with just me and the missus, its an uphill into the shed. Some cleaning up to do tomorrow if I'm going to be able to work in there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
