Looks neat enough. Almost suspiciously too cheap though! What's the catch?Quote:

Be a conversion I'd assume, silvertop motor and top mount intercooler wouldn't have been factory on an early one . Looks very clean tho. .

When did the ZD come out in GUs, was it from the start or just RD28 for a couple of years? . .

Been there before…

Seems top stuff. Have you checked it already? Is the price appropriate?
No, I haven't seen it in person yet. If the ad is honest then the price is goodQuote:

Well, Christmas has come and gone... No gu yet but the dream is still alive! I just happen to keep finding things to do to my house before taking the plunge. Suspected clutch failure on the nav so that's getting fixed up first. Not a huge amount of td42s on the Tassie market but the prices continue to calm down. Soon...soon ... [emoji16]

Yo!
So I need some help understanding the series years and features.
Which years are series 1,2,3 etc?
Do 98 ST's have elec windows?
Which year did dx's start coming with electric windows and central locking?
.......from under the great down under.
The best way would be to read up on the models with Redbook.
There is an article about buying a used model 1988-2010 https://www.redbook.com.au/editorial...88-2010-22866/
And searching the GU TD42 variants from 1998 - 2006 to see the difference between models.

Cheers mate, will give it a look

Series 1 to 3 are the first shape, I suppose you call it. The headlights and indicators are separate, from series 4 on they are one piece. Larger tail lights on the 4 an on, different dash, larger flares on the 4 an on.Quote:

Yep, took my time, got a good deal [emoji28]
2001 factory turbo td42. Untouched engine, Rack, awning, Koni adjustables, Nissan bar, warn xd9000, dual Battery, 16" steelies, 334,000kms, not one oil leak lol.
.......from under the great down under.
Wide mirrors (electric) but I'll swap them. Reverse camera, UHF, free multi meter and 3 fishing lures left behind seat lol

Stick your finger inside the chassis then give it a lick. You taste salt flush flush flush then fish oil the sh!t out of it.Quote:

Bloody well done though mate. Did you need to come over or did you find it locally?
Yeah, will give it all a good going over. Bit of a clean and some touch ups. I found it in Launceston so not far away at all [emoji106]
