Re: FOR SALE - Nissan Civilian 4.2L Diesel
Yes, I would have to agree with that statement, one only has to get use to the length & a Coaster is easy to drive. I did have to get an LR licence. The Coasters have a great turning circle which I think is good.

Re: FOR SALE - Nissan Civilian 4.2L Diesel
The 4.2ltr is a 6 cyl isn't it? Sorry about my Nissan ignorance on this one but a 4.6ltr Mazda is still a 4 cyl so......
I think B3's Civilian was a 6 cyl and he said it had a ton of torque and would go nearly any where.

We actually looked pretty hard at the coasters/civilians. could not find one though that ticked the essential boxes. Easy to see why they are popular

Think the 4.2 is a turbo too.T1 Terry wrote:The 4.2ltr is a 6 cyl isn't it? Sorry about my Nissan ignorance on this one but a 4.6ltr Mazda is still a 4 cyl so......

Maybe that's where the idea for the flying nun came from!!

Lesley wheels that Cruiser around just fine, and that's close on a truck, even did a bit of firewood collecting with it while at Muckingup as far as I rememberdapope wrote:probably, but then I don't know how good a driver she already is!
Bear in mind, all the scratches and dents on our swagman were put there by me. The better half has yet to open her account!
I have driven civilians and coasters, oce you get your head around the length, they are car like to pedal. I am sure there are owners on here who would back me on this

I hate the LC with a passion...yes, it is like driving a truck, not that I ever have. Dave told me I passed the 4WD driving course but that may have been his relief at getting back to camp in one piece. I know I was relieved!

We both enjoy the swaggie to drive, although side winds can make life interesting, and it does wander a little, compared to many cars. Not as badly as the old jaguar I had though, that was like navigating a boat along the road!
