Re: 83 Safari no fire

It is my understanding that the only real purpose of the condensor is to reduce the sparking/arcing across the points, allowing them to last longer. About the carb and fuel pump: The float is inside the carb body. Won't see it from outside. Some carbs do have a "sight glass" (a little wind...

Re: 83 Safari no fire

Carb or fuel injection? Mechanical or electrical fuel pump? There may be a blocked strainer somewhere on the fuel system (fuel pumps often have them, and carbs could have them on the inlet).

Re: My nuwe ou Patrol 4.8 GRX 2011

GQ is so 2-300kg ligter as GU. Maar hy het meer windweerstand en die oorspronklikke enjins is minder gevorderd, so hulle brandstofverbruik is eenders of swakker. Die GQ was beskikbaar met 'n TD42, maar alleenlik sonder turbo. Hulle is egter bitter skaars, en natuurlik ook baie stadig. Hulle het wel ...

16" and larger rims should fit (assuming the above has been sorted).

Recovery training and demo

Probably around a decade ago the Nissan Club arranged a recovery training day with a demo by Henk of Securetech.
It was a very interesting and informative session, and I wonder if it's not time for another one.

Could I get a show of hands of who would be interested please?
