'93 Nissan Terrano R3M

[Aaron]

Well had a clear out of my cars, my S-special went on Thursday and my Corrado VR6 went yesterday.

But on Saturday I made the 260 mile trip to Consett to collect the new daily after putting down a deposit blind.

This is my second WD21, the first was a gorgeous 3 door, but an idiot decided to not see me in it and crashed into it and wrote it off. Here she was....

h

I've hankered after one ever since and have run through at least 7 cars in the last 8 months since the accident.

Finally after looking continuously since the accident this one popped up

So I jumped on the train and the rest was history, a lovely couple owned it and they even gave me £30 back to get dinner on the way home. Really touching gesture and having had over 12 cars in the last 18 months and dealing with lots of less than stellar people when buying/selling cars it was nice to deal with some lovely people.

Anyway here is the car, 12 months MOT and it made the trip home faultlessly. This pic was shortly after purchase.

I've removed the wind deflectors and rear mounted spare wheel so far, few little jobs to do but I love the truck already.

Yeah I was after it originally when it was out of MOT but I couldn't sort collecting it, then it popped up again on preloved last week with an MOT so I jumped on it.

Not many pics yet, can't help but smile when I see it and remember I have one again

Love my truck

[BT]

I remember your old one and it's premature demise as it happened around the same time as my accident. I'm glad to see you've got back into something you clearly had a passion for, I see you've had a couple of various vehicles through my unnatural monitoring of the for sale section (yeah, I have a problem) and hopefully now you may feel a little more as you were prior to the accident.

Cool truck, can't say I've seen many myself, but I do love a truck me!

Needs more high.
Nice with more Nissan 4x4s here. Seems like they have disappeared from the roads, but since the frame is quite similar to the King cab one, I can understand why, they rot like organic bananas.

Haha I'm the same when it comes to monitoring the for sale section!

I love having one of these again, I still smile when I see it as it seems bizarre having one again, hasn't sunk in. I would have loved a 3 door again, but I have only ever seen my white one.

I'm looking at another for parts but unsure if it's a viable option.

Once this is exactly how I want it, I'll look to get another fun car, which will no doubt be ANOTHER AW11 though I'm liking the idea of mad maxing a Mr2 mk1.

That is one of the ideas, going to get some bigger tyres first and then possibly a two inch lift.

These are stupid capable offroad with no modifications. We took my mates out the other weekend and it performed flawlessly.
Granted, we may have broken a ball joint after clearing a 2m short peak in a quarry, but we had to drive fast to make sure we didn't seesaw on the top!

It has no mods, just the standard A/T's it came with when he bought it for no money.

[Knugcab]

I run 31" Cooper Discoverer STT on my King Cab and it's a capable climber. But then I have LSD in the rearend too.

[woodenspatulas]

I don't think I've ever seen one of these!

Strangely adult Tonka toyish looking thing, bloody well done sir!

Yeah I'm thinking 31" BfGoodrich A/T KO2's, these have LSD too

The Aussie's love these trucks for their off-roading abilities, and the previous owner raved about it too. I'll most likely just get some 31's and that'll be that for mods. 

Got a pic of your mates?

Not handy, no. It's a 2001 Pathfinder, so much the same except extra doors and a 3.3l petrol lump. Another mate has a 1999 one which has been to even stranger places, still with nothing more than A/T's. Although it is weighed down slightly by a winch and a hi-lift jack that have never been used, haha.
It just got back from crossing the Simpson Desert, actually.
Which is about here.


Just google the name to see what kind of terrain it is.

Don't think I've seen a 2 door before, all the ones in the states are four door (and rusted away) looks like a nice one. Congrats!

Edit: I guess it was available in the US as two door, just don't recall seeing them that way

And I guess they flex better than King Cabs due to the coil sprung rear axle?
