Can any one help with a Template for a Safari Snorkel to fit a 4500 or 4800.....the manufacture wants a receipt but the kids bought for a xmas present and lost it.....
Welcome , First you should please post a formal intro (then i may know where you are located as well)
And also......
Where you at ?
Approx Location in profile is good idea (even just a state is better than nothing)
hi guys, copped a snachy through the back window. anyone got a spare?
cheers
How did that happen Stevil?
X2 - what happened?
Also mate, please throw up an intro in the introductions section - something we ask for from all new members. No harm done and appreciate you're needing something, but you'll find you get a better response also if people know who they're yakking with etc.
That said, welcome aboard and hope you find a new door ...
its the second strap ive had break on me, the first one was a cheap strap my mate bought. that snaped at landcruiser park and dented my door, this one i was pulling a log and theloggot caught on a tree. the strap snapped and came through the back window
Steve take a look at the threads relating to correct use of snatch/recovery straps. You have been lucky twice. The third time you may not live to tell the story. Limit the need for shackles, never use a tow ball in combination of recovery straps! Keep your recovery strap for just that use in good condition. If dragging logs use a suitable chain for that job.

need the two intake pipes for me gu 4.5 petrol
Bumpity ! :smile:
Sounds like someone's rebuilding a beast, how's it all panning out for ya Steve, any luck mate. Do you want me to suss out the wreckers in the area or you looking private ??
Have you tried Southside 4x4?
It looks like they might have a white one in stock.

Thanks very much for the offer Wild, but i think postage on large panels would most likley kill any chance of getting stuff affordable from down south.
And Wreckers !, i know they have to make money, but the thieves want to charge near 80-90% of new prices, no wonder insurance wrote my car off, as ive been finding out, some of the wreckers that have web sites with pictures dont seem to update them, so half the cars they show on-line, dont even exsist, so this means i have to ring around.
Im going to strip the inside of the car out tomorrow, and will most likley end up just ordering a "brand new" roof skin from Nissan, not cheap ,but only $50 more than wreckers want for a roof !
Another LHF gaurd is what i really need, (ill pay more for white) i need this fitted so i can see if my door repair is good or not.

Thanks for careing guys, but I'm not that stupid, the first strap was trying to tow a mate out ov a bog off proper rated recovery hooks and the strap snapped instantly( brand new strap), the log on the other hand was choked in the strap and the strap was a bit worn and using a rated rec hook again and the strap snapped about hold way along!! Don't be fooled by drag chains, they are generally not rated and can also snap as I have seen before, my best option is to get a black snake and not use the common snatch strap!!
Or line up a smaller log, if you have a choice :-)Quote:

Rated chains normally have a mark every few links - I agree that not all are rated. I bought one, gold anodised, from a produce store, that had specs listed on the bulk bucket, but the chain itself is plain. The ones I bought from Serafini Chains up here are marked.

Hey Guys,
I just bought a GQ and it's springs are badly sagged.
At the moment all it will be doing is some light 4x4ing and touring so the slight raise some standard (non sagged) springs give should be all i need for now.
Will also look at slightly raised aftermarket springs. (2" max)
They will need to be out of a low k GU, that hasn't done any heavy towing/touring.
I'm in Perth and can come and pick them up at a time that suits you.
Thanks for your time.

I am chasing the mounting brackets to mount the driver side 3rd row dicky seat. I have the seat but the brackets are missing. I need these to get a roadworthy on the car.
Alternatively, if you are in the Canberra area and can loan them for the duration of an inspection it would be appreciated.
If all else fails, I would be happy to buy the 3rd row seats as a complete package.
Anyones help would be appreciated.
Mate, I thought the fixing bracket is fixed inside to the top of the wheel arch. Or is it the bracket to latch the seat in?
I'll be back in Canberra Thursday mate if you need a hand. Shoot me a PM and hope I can help out Thursday arvo or later
G,day all, a small chance I know but has any one got some reasonable rear seats they dont want? when I got my wagon it was set up for just mum and dad so no rear seats.
Cheers Ghurkin
Hey mate, jump over to the introduction thread and say Hi, that way we can welcome you to the forum
Hey mate, they should be a dime a dozen at the wreckers mate, make sure you get a pair with head rests. the early DX models did not have them. Do a ring around mate, i would have thought you'd get a pair for $150 or so?
they come up all the time on Gumtree mate.............. well over here they do anyway!!!!Quote:

Thanks AB Ill check them out.Quote:

Can anyone advise what changes are necessary to fit the later seats with head rests, if any?
I'd be surprised if they weren't just a straight bolt on job mate ... mine have headrests, so if at some stage over the coming week or so you have some time, I could slip over and we could measure up the bases so you at least know what you're up against if they don't fit.Quote:

Hi,
I'm after a spare wheel bracket for the RH rear barn door for a 2010 DX GU, with the bolts. Anyone have one for sale please? Have a Kaymar dual wheel carrier but won't be going travelling for some time so intend to remove the Kaymar arms & refit a spare tyre on a standard GU wheel bracket. I'm in Brisbane.
cheers
I've got one now - no longer wanted
cheers
Hi O4OFF,
Just caught up on your thread on your roll over, so sorry you had that bad experience, but so good that you & your family didn't suffer any injuries. I phoned that wrecker today too after looking at their website chasing a spare wheel bracket for the rear barn door on my GU. No joy but I asked the guy about the GUs on their site - got all excited thinking there's got to be a bracket off at least one of those wrecks but got the same answer as you. Hope your rebuild is going to plan.
cheers,
Hi everybody,
I am after a white flare to suit a 2011 GU wagon. It is on the drivers side and the rear door.

And yes, the Wrecker pic situation is very frustrating to say the least, ive rang twice, and spoke to 2 different people over 3 weeks asking about panels from the exact same white GU (in the ad Yendor posted), no parts are available in white, yet the ad showing the 99 white GU wagon, is "still" there today, read the ad, its very descriptive about that one car (car 786), so its not just some general we've got GU parts ad, but ring for avilability first, its, here is the car in our yard, "call for price"............ if no panels (including the roof) are available in white, the car is gone, 3 weeks is long enough to update the site !
Honestly, all this leads me to conclude, that they, (Wreckers in general, and this is only one example) are happy to blatantly advertise pictuers of parts they simply do not have, in any other retail industry this would "surely" be classed as FALSE ADVERTISING, and as far as im aware is against the law for a reason, but more than that, it quite simply just PI$$ES PEOPLE OFF !
Anyway, i opted to spend 15% more on what the wreckers wanted to charge, and buy "brand new" genuine panels from Nissan !
I would still be interested in any white GU panels if anyone comes across them at a good price, be good to have for the next "incident" :wink:
Hi Dingo,
I saw that one. I am hoping I can get a white one so I dont have to get anything spray painted. The re is also a seal kit and the fitting kit to get.
Thanks
You make a very good piont mate, it's false advertising but more than that it's just down right misleading to customers, or potential customers, and treats them with contmept & disrespect. It's a rude practice & it's either intentional or laziness - either way it's very unhelpful, particuarly for a bloke in your situation.
cheers
