@@GamerBenYT But running on petrol, not vodka

Aww. :( fire edit tho. @dankpods should see this. AKA @garbagetime420

There are more detailed guides on the internet - but basically just loosen the roof rail at the back (behind the light) and then wriggle off the shade (screwdriver helps to release the central guides from the rail)

Dank you

You had some amazing mods! I'm happy with the plain "big block" F8B

@@classicandclunker yes it was fun car , Im in Australia and I once drove from Sydney 300km to get some parts , I had a big block 425 Olds v8 block in the back and two tyres, a turbo 700 Transmission behind the seats ( there is a surprising amount of room there) and a complete 4.2 litre GM Holden V8 on the front seat ( with the seat belt around it) minus heads and intake , so at least 400 kg all up in load , then drove back to Sydney another 300 km . That was with the original 550cc 3 cylinder, it went fine . Ive always loved small Japanese cars , it started as a kid I got a Daihatsu 360 cc Van , it was 2 cylinders and a Two Stroke . When I got the Mighty Boy I thought of many engines , at first I wanted the old Suzuki LJ50 3 Cylinder Two Stroke in it , but it was too different , but all the later 3 cylinder , 550, 550 turbo and 800 cc are externally the same and the Swift of that era is the same motor but one extra cylinder and 1000cc.

@@JosephCowen-fz8vj oof, that was one crazy parts pickup, corners would have been interesting

@@classicandclunker actually blew a tire out on way home on a sharp corner and the jack was under the gearbox I had behind the seat.

Long since sold in Brisbane, Australia

Oh, thanks but I sold it a while ago...

Most of the earth it’s maxima

Hmm.. from what I've been told by a US motoring writer (and the internet) the US A34 Maxima is slightly bigger, overall than the J31? Same engine, though..

@@classicandclunker not sure what to tell you but it’s definitely called the Nissan Maxima in the US we don’t have the name Teana

@@gerardogonzalez1217 yeah, seems my Maxima was your Altima, just with slightly different looks

Yes, the two I've owned have never left me stranded

I ordered 80 series LandCruiser regulators SKU-WO-7772212-PR. Just have to swap over the bottom slides..

@@classicandclunker thank you very much. Bought both sides for 150. And fitted them today. Took about 4 hours. Thank you VERY much :D

The ones around the back? Yes, not the easiest to access.. Maybe try a screwdriver with a 90-degree turn in it? Or if it's rusted in, some penetrating oil? Mechanics would have taken steering wheels off frequently, so there must be some trick to it! Good luck

It should be fine, as long as it's not for a long time - keep an eye on the temp gauge and pull over as needed to cool down. Maybe just do 80 if you can, to account for the F5A engine. I used to take a 2 speed auto Mighty Boy on the highway with the bigger F8B engine and it didn't like it. However the manual F8B I have now is hardly worried by doing 100

Thank you for the quick response, i have another question the mighty boy im looking at is for $14,000 is that way overpriced or is that to be expected now as they are more rare? its also in mint condition and my trip would be from Springfield to Elimbah @@classicandclunker

@@tauriplay1239 you'll pay around $5k for a registered and driving MB, so for $14k it would have to be in remarkably good condition. There are some out there over the $10k but they might have very low KMs or have had a bare shell respray.. If there's any rust in the usual trouble spot of the firewall (even minor) then I'd say it's not worth even $10k. There's a very rare soft top one in Mackay and it's $8k on Gumtree.. I'm in the Caboolture area too, you'll see a couple of Mighty Boys around here

I can see the red one you're interested in.. If needed, email me to talk more, email is in the "about" section of my channel

Thank you for the info, will keep all of that in mind and will update you if I decide to buy or not. Cheers

Yeah, very conventional layout like any other Japanese car. But if you get a dent or something, body parts will be hard to find!

Very likely - but any other time I've done this (with other cars of that era) it's just had light foam padding to seal it. That's why I transferred some of the glue to the replacement. Then last night it poured, and this morning I went out to check for any ingress - and there was none

@@classicandclunker Yes, some use foam, but they tend to become brittle & disintegrate with age. With mastic like sealant, they stay pliable.

Being made in Japan by Mazda, it should be good. But things will still need maintaining..

@@classicandclunker I see, but she's still looking good and gorgeous with that stock wheels..

Yeah I know of some for sale - but I can't give up on the wind-cheating hubcaps

Well I had a wreck until recently, which I took parts off. What are you after?

Yeah good advice mate👌 don't put yourself in that position, you can't argue who in the right or wrong when your dead

This is in Australia the far right lane he went to is the overtaking lane. The correct lane would be either where he was or the far left. He definitely wouldve seen the car before he switched lanes if he was paying attention

@jaybaby-zw7lo yeah but rhe point old mate is making, don't be there in the first place

@justincarter1950 how is he suppose to not be there ? The trucker crossed from the merging lane into the left lane then switched to the middle. The proceeded to break the law and move to the overtaking lane on a solid white line where he can clearly see out of his drivers door there is a car there ?? Explain how the car is even remotely at fault here

@jaybaby-zw7lo you either accelerate infront or drop right back, he sat in that blind spot for ages, anyone thats done any dort of advanced driving corse knows this, it simple mate, you don't put yourself in a blind spot longer than necessary 😉
