1988 Nissan Safari VRY-60 TD42-5MT-Granroad

ready to run another 37 years. Granroad trim package with factory PTO winch, vacuum-operated rear differential lock, sway-bar disconnect, sunroof, rear cabin heater / cold-weather package and various other Japan-market details. The TD42 has recently been turbocharged using factory Nissan Y61 TD42 turbo components from a later Safari fitted with the same engine. This is not a generic aftermarket turbo kit. Less than 5000 km has been covered since the turbo setup was fitted. The turbo has a new Hitachi CHRA, stainless dump pipe and full length 2.5-inch exhaust system. Imported to New Zealand in 1999 with approximately 119,000 km. Now showing approximately 350,000 km. Two long-term New Zealand owners since arrival. Clean title, no known accident damage, and full NZ odometer history available. The vehicle has recently been professionally gone through and future-proofed. This includes starter motor, alternator, clutch, refreshed clutch hydraulics, cooling system, engine mounts, transmission mounts and body mounts, wheel bearings, front axle rebuild, rebuilt brake calipers, rebuilt wheel cylinders, driveshaft universal joints, etc. all using genuine Nissan parts. These early TD42 Safaris were built through the lens of commercial trucks, the early engines were manufactured by Nissan Diesel company intended to run 800-1mil kilometers between major overhauls. Paint has been refinished to factory-specification color 002 Mint White and factory-specification single-stage enamel paint system. Bumpers are finished in Nissan gun greyl using the OEM R32 GT-R colour code. Original factory paint assembly markings from 1988 are still visible on the frame. Wheels are 16x7 Bradley VX from Japan. Currently tire size is 285/75/16 which works well with the stock 4.11 rear end. These particular tires are garbage, you’re going to get a much better deal buying tires in the US. Interior is clean overall. Headliner has some sun damage/shrinkage around the rear quarter section and marks above the rear-view mirror. Left-hand dash vent needs replacement, and a replacement is being sourced from Japan. Fuel door cable also needs replacement, which is minor and can be addressed or supplied.
