victorypark. I went through this when I first bought my 2002 model V6 2wd. The trick is to go in through the wheel arch. either take the wheel off or put it on full left lock. You have to move the rubber guard out of the way then you can get in with a strap wrench and extension. Once you get it...

Cant say for the 2002 model but I have a 2001 ST and it had an ashtray on both sides. Sounds a bit odd. Maybe the assemblers and inspectors were having a bad day. peter

The first thing you need to look at is. Do the Subaru seats have the seat belt buckle attached to them? If not then you probably should look at some different seats. Then check the width of the runners between the Navara and Subaru seats and the height of the Subaru runner from where it bolts...

Tony The first time I plugged it in I didn't even have the key in the ign. After I realised the fuse was blown I replaced it and I heard it blow as soon as I plugged the switch in again. Key was in off position that time. Needless to say I didn't buy those switches. peter

I tried two N16 variable stalks on my 2001 D22 2wd today.Private seller who is just wanting to clean out his shed, who kindly allowed me to try them before buying. The first one blew the fuse as soon as I plugged it in so I suspect it had a fault. The 2nd one didn't work properly either. No...

G'day All Does anyone know if a steering wheel from a N16 Pulsar would fit a Non airbag D22? Of if there are wheels from different Nissan's that would fit. My wheel has got some wear from the previous owner and looks a bit shabby. I wouldn't mind going to a slightly smaller diameter but not...

Bods I'll look forward to hearing how it works for you. Somehow it seems like it couldn't be that easy but hopefully that is so. I did do a search on variable intermittent wipers and intermittent wipers but it didn't bring up anything. thanks Peter

Gday Can someone tell me if any D22 models came with factory fitted variable delay intermittent wipers? I've been looking through the service manual but I haven't been able to work this out yet. If not, has anyone modified their intermittent wipers to add this function? From what I can gather...

Yeah. I'm hearing you. There's a lot of it about. peter

I know what you are saying. Mines a 2001 model. I certainly cant afford to buy Recaro's anymore. When my now, ex, pulled her stunt 6 years ago, I had to get rid of a lot of stuff. 2 pairs of Recaro's among it all. So it goes. Take care peter

Thanks for that. I might end up doing something like that myself. peter

Oldie Can you supply a bit more detail of the work you had done and what the cost was please? To me the stock seat feels too "springy" or bouncy. There are no springs in the squab so to make that firmer would require a new bit of foam to be fabricated. The stock bit is all molded. There are a...

I fitted Recaros to a Datsun 720 I had way back in 1982. Later I fitted the same seats to a D21 Navara I had. It wasn't a real biggie from the install point of view on those cars. Back in those days it wasn't all that important to get the install engineered as it is now though. However I've been...

What do you reckon the problem is with the torsion bar suspension? As most late ute's now have coils on the front and I don't think there are any cars with torsion bar suspensions anymore,there must be a reason why the manufacturers have gone away from them. A torsion bar increases in stiffness...

JesseT As long as your basic body structure is straight, I can't see why you couldn't do this, but unless you could buy a complete car as a donor at a good price, the exercise might get a bit expensive. It might be cheaper and easier to just buy a later model one in good cond and get rid of your...
