FYI: Yet another one 4WS in NZ?
Apparently only two claret/black touring models (leather. roof. 4WS, short wing) were ever brought to NZ.
NUTSHL is one. The other is (so they say) owned by an elderly gent name of URLICH, which just happens to his plate as well. Keep ya posted. Ian |

Fws
I know of another for sure. It was pranged and went to a wreckers yard. Also another which moved on, after the owner spent much time and money on it. He was an electronics expert and fixed the control unit himself. I have the details.
They were extra cheap second hand in Japan, because no one wants one due to the cost of repairs. Because of this many of those imported into NZ were so equipped. Beware ! In point of fact, several makes introduced this feature, but consumers did not like it and it was a dead duck.

4WS SVX - for Trevor + others
Trevor - I remember seeing Ulrich up on the car ramp at North Shore Giltraps - getting the 4WS control unit taken out - he hit a kerb & got the rear wheels pointing slightly the wrong way - the rear electronics package behind the rear diff had to be sent to Japan to be fixed as no one at that stage had any info.
I should have taken some photos for the guys overseas to check out (hey Trevor maybe you could get under yours next time it is in the air?. Still got my 95 SVX with 120km - believe it was the last one sold new in NZ - first owner only did 5km in 18 months!!! before I got my hands on it (for a mear 50% of original cost). Steve (1 OF 1) |

As I understand it, in Japan used SVX with 4WS are considered a liability due to repair factors, and because of the price difference quite a few have ended up here via dealers.

4WS SVX - for Trevor + others
Yes that is right - I saw a 4WS version for sale in Wellington, but decided that something weighing 1800kg+ with 4WS was not for me....

4WS in West Auckland
Peter, up in the boonies of Candia Road now has four SVX under the wrecking ball...the first was a 4WS he owned for many years before it bit the dust. He's a good source of all sorts of bits and pieces.
FYI my 4WS works fine...at 230+ Kms - once Wingers sorted out how to put the steering rack together properly.
