The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

Only bought it a month ago when it had 375,000kms on it, looks like original engine, going to check engine numbers..
Only hickup so far was the coolant tank had hairline cracks in it, wasnt going to drive it anywhere. Brank new one $130 in the back seat, had dealers "fix" it with a second hand one for now.
Fingers cross with it that i will only have to give it a rebuild which is going to be dirt cheap... looking about $600... hehe

Nice one Rob,
Mate if you can rebuild a ZD30 for $600 advertise it mate as there will be a que of blokes lining up at your door for that rebuild!! Generally when an01 to 03 ZD30 goes Bang your looking at $5000 to $7000 repair unfortunately! Even if you can do it yourself surely there must be $2,500 worth of parts given your bottom hose was $130
All good though i hope you get many more kms out of her mate.
