TheCiscoKid Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 omg I had to bump this gorgeous van. i've never seen one, but they just got put on my bucket list. Is it a full frame van? I wonder how close the frame is to a Hardbody's frame, the dash's look very similar. Im jealous Quote Link to comment

Burabuda Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 i love these vans!!! ugh dude you're creepy seriously, this van was a "explosive" find :lol: Quote Link to comment
HowlerMonkey Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I performed all the recalls as well as prepping them for the crusher. We had a satellite parking lot filled with them and got into a bit of trouble explaining how 3 of them got rolled on thier sides in one night and the rest got dented up. If the front shocks were bad, you could hop the front wheels off the ground as well as do stoppies that lifted the rears off the ground. Some of the vans coming in to be crushed were in pristine condition and one mechanic quickly ran out and bought a really beat up one for 100 bucks and only had to wait a week before one came in that was of identical trim and color..........so he just swapped the number plates and even went as far as welding the "pristine donor" van's plates on the firewall into his stripper and even matching the paint and vice versa. This netted him a cherry vannette for a weekend's worth of labor and 100 bucks..........and a bit of risk. I pulled about 18 perfect captains chairs (all blue but two were red) and arranged them in a circle in my basement which brought much party fun and hijinks as the bases were small enough that more than a few people spilled out of them.

gokiburix Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 any updates on this van? I wanna see more!! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 H190 rear RustRocket, can you post a photo of the oil pan? It's got a winged sump, I think a front sump pan. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 C-200 rear with 2 pinion standard tranny 4.375 and auto 4.625 ratios or 4 pinion 4.625 ratio. The 5 speeds were RS5W71C the R was for 'remote' shifter. The oil pan is a front sump and is over to the pass side somewhat like the 4x4 pans. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 it's cool have you done the engine swap yet? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Swap? They come stock with Z24 engine. Which is why they had overheating (catching on fire) problems. In japan they came with other smaller engines which fit much better and allowed the engine compartment to keep cool: A12, A15, CA20, LD20 Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 SR THAT BITCH!!!!! turbo of course. it would be badass to see one of those drifting. i would love to have a nice little van like that. my voyager (V-GER) is cool, 5spd as well, but not as cool as yours! Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 i have a chance at getting one! I want more inspiration! Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 SR has less acceleration than Z24 -- Nissan Van has factory injected 2.4 liter. Z24I : 137 ft lb @ 2400 rpm SR20DE: 132 ftlb @ 4800 rpm Only if you rev up the SR over 4800 RPM does it pull harder. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 slammed to the ground with full length roof rack would be cool Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Unfortunately, Rustrocket sold his van, so I guess I'll take over this thread (if that's ok...if not, I'll create my own) Goki has finally acquired a Van! pics and progress coming soon! SUPER excited! -goki Quote Link to comment

Drazz100 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Love these vans.I have been after a mitsubishi van for years but none ever comes up in my area.These nissan vans look nearly spot on like the Mitsubishis.Toyota's of the same year have a rounder edge look to them and not nearly as nice Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 lots of realestate for your bitchin stickers there Goki! Congrats! Thanks Fisch! I know I'll be putting my previous sticker designs on them...along with a few new ones I'll have available soon. As for future designs....we'll see~~ TONS of real estate for sure!!

gokiburix Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Curious how your gonna fix the overheating issues. :P Before I acquired the van, it looks like some or most of the recalls were already performed. There are stickers on the door sill saying that the vehicle already had the recalls performed. My mechanic also said that there doesnt seem to be further issues. I really havent gotten to drive it yet as I bought it in an inoperable condtion, so I'm real excited to drive it too! if it seems like there still is an overheating issue, I might just add some electric cooling fans to it.... we'll just have to see~ Quote Link to comment

You dont even know how long i've been after these vans! Im super excited to finally have one! I got some hair-brained plans for it! :lol: But yah...the Mitsubishi Delica van is a near carbon copy of this van as well as the Toyota one. I think I saw a Mitsu-van in the junkyard a few months ago...I shed a tear that day :( I found a Mitsu-van for ya! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/2807058488.html hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 what are you plans?? slam it to the ground with full length roof rack to give VW Busses a run for thier money? Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 what are you plans?? slam it to the ground with full length roof rack to give VW Busses a run for thier money? plans are yet to be determined...I only say that because I have a few ideas floating around but dunno if I could actually pull it off, so I don't wanna say "I'm gonna do ________" then not actually be able to. I'll just see as I go along to see what is actually doable. As for the roof rack...it kinda already has one on there (Nissan stock). See 2nd pic. It also has dual sunroofs (front tilts and rear fully slides open) so I dont wanna be blocking that either. Realistically, do vans need roof racks? It's not like there's a shortage of cargo room :lol: Quote Link to comment
