hahah i have 2 sets of those isuzu wheels and at the rate i go thru tires id be on blocks all the time.and no this bakkie doesent break often .i dove it hard for 2 years with noisy lifters and a bearing rumbel.blew headgasket only cause the belt tentioner went misssing and the waterpump wasent turnung .was cheaper to buy an import than repair the old motor.plus i could get it on the road in 2 days. some of the parts was "sponserd"lol like a completly new front suspention except shocks. but need to stiffen up the suspention too much body roll.

@aep886 i like the siera.wont mind having one of those to play with.
@ driftz.thanks I had a mould made of the sani fenders cause no one makes them u cant even get them from Nissan.and SANI went out of busness.i sold the couple of sets i had and finally used the origanal set on my D21. ill have to make a coupla of sets again soon.
iwas toying with the idea of maybe doing a murderdout budget spray if i dont leave it the way it is.dont wanna spend money on what it looks like. ag maybe just leave it as is. cant decide.

so lastweek was the wheels of fury down here in the cape and it was mad fun.the drifting was off the hook. i took along my ratsun hardbody to spin and have some fun. got some weird looks from people wanting to know what the hell a bakkie was doing there.but i dont care as long as i can have my fun i gdont give a sh!t. heres a pic of me getting it all wrong and clapping some tire over,u dont realise how long your tails is lol, it left a lekke war damage tire marks down the back side.

as time and money is available i play around with setups. i have a set of adustable front rancho shoks out of a 4x4(yes i know lol) but it stiffens the front up a little more. in the back i have a home made frankenstein leaf set up. a dearched uppper leaf,plus 2 more leafs,i removed the middel leaf, and turned the over load leaf upside down. all the leaf ends are clamped together with 5mil plate to stiffen up the rear .i removed the rear clamp cause it was causeing one wheel to lift off when spining or cornering and the ride was incredibly harsh.ontop of my leaf pack i hav 100 mill long blades added to the pack all these to does is increase the thickness of the pack but does not affect stiffness in any way. but does make the bakkie lower .ontop of that i have a 70mil lowering block running toyota truck 12mil U bolts. giving me a combined 120 mil lowering stance.thats flat and stiff and hardly any body roll.

ow and we went to street to strip drags a few weeks ago,i took along a bakkie load of wheeels for drift and spin practice ,polished them off for the night,was supper fun. not a big turnout but i got to go back on as soon as i changed wheels,must say changing wheels so often in the span of 4 hours is tiering when u dont have that much help,and its 6 lugs per wheel. eish
Image

thought id share with u guys the new toy i bought.its not a drifter,but a 4x4 but it can go sideways on tar.it was standing for 2 years in a guys driveway on blocks.he sold off the 33'tires and it didnt want to start.i convinced him to sell it to me cause his neighbours wer bitching about it caus he lives in a complex. so i drove out with some wheels,and some money and im the owner of a nissan sani V6 4x4. the guy told me its a rusted wreck .but after some inspection this this is neat inside only a few small rust spots and faede paint .the rust was surface rust on the chassis.that just polished off. this is what R5k bought me.
Image
it had 2 alloy mags .so hers the list of aftermarket parts on there, rear diff with powertrax locker,oldman EMU rear leaf springs,extended rear shackels, poly pushings, calmini front LSD,calmini front tortion bars, calmini uppercontrol arms,calmini ball joints,low profile polybump stops(dont know brand) brospeed branches, power flow free flow xhast,racing lifters, 3inch body lift. etc, the list goes on, by my calculations its over R35k worth of aftermarket parts. i got a set of 285/70/16 BFgoodridge mud terains from a friend, slaped them on my black isuzu rims.
since it was standing close to the beach for 2 years,i removed the plugs turned the motor over by hand at first. cleanedout fuel tank .filled fuel put in a battery and it stared up firstime.lol. the only thing that neede replacing was one driveshaft and that i got with the sani as spares.
so this far i respayed the bonnet, touched up the fenders,added front arches,and mud flaps. all i need to do now is reasemble i upgraded to new spec grill . all the rest were small issues, so this is hwat it looks like now

these are after apolish and some minor assembly minus roof rack
want to take this bably out into the atlantis dunes before i put her up for sale.
