WTB td42 GQ ute

[AB]

We are looking for a new company car at work.

Looking at a grandpa spec td42 GQ ute, would really love a lowish km td42 ideally with a RWC or very simple to get a RWC.

If anyone finds something on their travels please let us know.

Happy to have rear leaf only but not front!

[nissannewby]

Only full coil or full leaf in gq.

[AB]

Only full coil or full leaf in gq.

Yeah ok, bugger, it might be hard to trying to find an unmolested full coil.

Everytime I find a decent one It's full leaf.

I need to find one before end of Jan.

Mine could be if you do a conversion 2 change the TB 2 a TD and then do a chop and put a tray on it.

Its only been on its side once, so 'I would not really call it molested :)

Thansk mate, I saw that but we just don't have time to get it back to a RWC condition.

It would be nice to find one with a little bit of fruit on it though.

[gubigfish]

That's neat, I can't see on phone is it coil or leaf?

I'd hazard a guess and say leaf because of the bench passenger seat which normally come in the DX model. You would have to ask them to send you a photo of under the car to be sure. Also being that it has Broome number plates its probably seen alot of beach work so check it out for rust.

[Clunk]

doesn't say, but it's also up in Broome, so a bit far for one of us to go and check it out...... didn't notice it when i posted from my phone

[Clunk]

Shame you didn't say anything a week or so ago

Mike at XLR8 Fabrications just sold his coil cab

Why did he sell it, that's one very nice gq ute. Only saw it a couple of weekends ago.

[AB]

God there's some really nice ones out there with low km's immaculate but all leaf sprung.

Too expensive but does come with RWC and a serious toll box set up and coils. Bloody miles away from me!!!

[AB]

Is a RWC in qld valid at Vicroads or do I need to start again getting a RWC down here?

[nissannewby]

That's neat, I can't see on phone is it coil or leaf?

Coil. Trailing arms are a give away.

[AB]

Broome is just too much for me...lol

May as well drive home from Bangladesh!

[Ben-e-boy]

You could buy my ute. It will pass phoneworthy cirtificate

[AB]

Ok, so I would need to get a RWC in Vic as Vicroads don't accept interstate RWC. Nice!

[AB]

Wow, I got super excited for a second but has to be a scam...

Hahahahahah you reckon

[AB]

hahahahahah you reckon

bargain!!!!

I found another GQ which seems very stock, 95 model, very neat and clean, body immaculate, inside immaculate, 283k, side steps, brush bars, passenger bench seat with 3 seat belts, nice clean tray, etc.

It does have a Safari turbo which was put on 15 years ago with no IC, no boost or EGT gauge.

Would anyone be weary of this meaning the driver would have no idea or knowledge of what engine temps it was running throughout it's life?

[gubigfish]

My old GQ wagon was non-intercooled and I had no issues with it. The big thing I guess is if it wasn't overly tuned it should still be ok, assuming whoever tuned it in the first place knew what they were doing. nissannewby may have a better idea.

It's lasted 15 years with that turbo on it so I wouldn't think it's doing much damage if any.

Buy it and keep it at your house for spare parts. I mean... Safe keepings.

It will be fine. They were very conservative qith those setups.

[89gqpatrol4x4]

I think the same when people say am I going to put gauges on our 99 factory turbo non intercooled gu. Well it's stock and has lasted 300,000 km so why bother!

[AB]

I still clench the steering wheel with a shaky relapse moment when I need to put the foot down or driving up a big hill in this engine.

Looking like this bloke!

Might've just bought our new company car but realised VicRoads now have a 14 day rwc policy!!

At this time of the year it's going to be fun!

[Rossco]

Nice, any pics? ?

I'm sure that's always been in place but nobody seems to care. I think it is in place so that you can't screw the previous owner over by not getting the rego transferred. Just say to the guy that you probably won't be able to get it transferred until the new year.
