Help with list of RWC fixes please 1989 GQ 4.2d Wagon

[Alitis007]

I recon the springs are sagged and just pulled the iron man shocks off and one feels stuffed, Iron man springs +50mm and foam cell shocks for $1200 any good?

Fixed steering wheel $50 glue injection.

Still can't see where fuel tank leak is pulled the inspection hatch from in the back lots of dirt but nothing wet around sender, pulled the filler rubber cover off and can't see any wet there etc Bugga May have to pull the tank out

new seat belt from Nissan $185

Looks like only the top hinge's are stuffed may buy genuine drivers and cheep passengers

Dunno bout the shocks but +50mm is roadworthy legal, if you have a look thru the forum you'll probably find a revue or three haha.
Price sounds about right for the steering wheel grip .

After you do the shocks give the tank a good degrease and was then go for a drive and see if it leaks, if it doesn't then job done!

Aftermarket would be half the price surely, did you try bursons or repco for the seatbelt??
Hit matfew up for the hinge he'll help you out

I found some seat belt specialists online, send away $100 bucks to repair, $140 for aftermarket plus $20 freight.

Thinking with the door hinge's to go aftermarket for the passenger side $70 and Genuine Nissan drivers side from patrol apart for $165. Had a chance to have a look this arvo and it seams only the top hinge have most of the play.

I will research what the best option +50mm springs and shocks are for me, any recommendations?

I'm down near gisborne mate. I can help with seat belts but for hinges sound about the same in my wreck lol

A Local spring works has got the bushes and 50mm lift springs.

I found out this arvo why the rear spring is loose when up on a hoist, the shocks that where on it are longer than stock. So a mate has lent me some standard rear shocks to fit.

I ordered a new seat belt $185 and Gen door hinges $145 today from Patrol a part, I am going to put the cheep door hinges on the passenger side $50 from patrol a part. Sorry Matfew I thought the chances of getting near perfect second hand seat belts was not an option.

With the tank, pull it check for an cracks / damaged hoses etc - if all ok - give it a paint. (is it the main or belly tank) - just to hide for the roady

If the tank is leaking - you will smell it when on the road with a full tank. I have gone though a couple of belly tanks - mainly due to sitting on to of rocks while off road.

There was a guy in Benalla selling som gq bits.

What LSD have you got in the front diff?

[GQ TANK]

Mk rear centre.

The MK used 12mm bolts, while the GQ uses 14mm on the ring gear (thread is on ther ing grear). I just filed the diff centre to aling the holes with the ring gear.
