    Door Dropping?

    Hey lads,
    Got a 2003 gu,the driver and passenger doors have sagged down about 3-4mm,is there any adjustment on the hinge bolts or the pins?
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks Jake.

    Not really, there is a little bit but not very much at all.

    You have a few choices,
    new hinge set (about $100)
    2nd hand hinge set (which will be partially worn already)
    getting your hinges re-pinned (dunno who does it now but it can be done)
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    The hinges are a common replacement. Give Patrolapart a call or send them an email mate for a price. Check their eBay store for a price too.

    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.

    Strewth mate... no-one does that.

    Look at the tabs on the top of the Forum
    Click on Patrol Parts
    Order hinges
    Fit hinges
    Problem fixed

    He sure did but I think he is enjoying retirement now.

    I've got a new set of genuine door hinges sitting here from Patrolapart that I still haven't gotten around to fitting yet.

    all I did was undo the 2 nuts on the bottom hinge on the door and fitted a spacer washer on the bottom bolt, tightened up and door shuts perfectly
