Gotta be a few MQ/MK owners out there ???

cybernout 10 - try shortening the neddle (its what I done) its commen for the neddles to bind and touch the face of the speedo

Mine is a late 1985 LWB Deluxe 5 speed wagon with SD33T, all stock standard. I use it as a daily driver a few months every year.

Taught my son to drive in it and he can now jump into any vehicle and handle it with ease.Even the RTA examiner commented on the benefit of him learning on an old school vehicle.

Have you tried adjusting the timing to eliminate the pinging? Also might be dodgy fuel.

Check timing , check plugs they could be shagged
Those L28s will run on 91 ron fuel ,mine does and sings past 6,000 rpm and no issues at those revs

83 swb patrol owner new to this site. awesome thread

I've definitely got a couple of screws loose own a MK AND a MQ..both wagon however one is going to be used as a donor for the other..parts are as rare as hen's teeth here in NZ. Don't even start me on how hard it is just to get a friggen manual:1087:

Try not to laugh too hard

I love my MK, im on number 3, the other 2 were just donor mq's though. cheaper these days to buy a whole car for bits then to buy individual

Know what you mean about the parts..local nissan and parts dealers absolutely love my MQ.

How much dosh do you have? I'll send you one! Are you actually in Napier, or is that the closest main town to you?

Unless we all start trading parts between ourselves.
