I have a '04 built Lada Niva 1.7 with fuel injection. Never let me down and even in the cold where most 4x4 vehicles get bogged as of their weight, the Niva just says gimme more. This paint job and the video is really good. Good job.
My first car here in Australia was a niva. When the engine stalled in this and you had to crank it a bit to restart the sound bought back memories haha. Loved the niva, but very high maintenance vehicles. As they say about the niva, "Always half broken, never breaks down"
I had one as my first car years ago and I felt the same when I heard the starter and the gentle rumble and whine of the transfer case. There is no car quite like them. I learnt with my first one to keep on top of it in terms of maintenance.
what beautiful looking car!! rear axle travel way is awesome. spotter is a bit wrong. need turn first right and then little left but Lada is so capable it doesn't matter😳😁

they definitely can present a challenge at times, but if you keep at them and perform the right mods and maintenance they can be pretty reliable. Great cars.
I'm so glad you mentioned that...I had one for 5 years back in the early 90's...it broke down every 2 weeks and was too afraid to take it out of the metro area! But when it worked, it was great! Pity it was so unreliable at that time - mine was a faulty ignition module fault - and it was well known in owners circles that the gearbox would start to fail after 50 000km....electrics were dodgy and it was soooo slow...but it could go places many of my friends in their larger 4wd just couldn't...I had Pirelli Scorpions as a great compromise road/ light trail tyre and the car was stock standard....great design but so badly built :(
That's awesome! Great driving and great tuning! I'd like to know, if you have the whole list of your modifications? I'd love to hear from you, which modifications are worth to do them.
Great video, did you do anything to the suspension? it is crazy wide but still it does not break. If you have changes something please tell me as I am bulding my Niva Off Road project. Thank you

Everything looks mad, but the paint is really something. Like Auscam vehicle pattern but with like a coyote color in place of the olive drab. Sorta like Auscam desert might look, if we made an arid version of the pattern. What's the deal with the rubber coming out past the guards? Is that not a problem where it's registered or do you have detachable guards for on road use?
Hi Noises, the camo was inspired by the auscam vehicle pattern but with the tan base. The video was of the first run out after modifying it the first time round, we hadnt fitted the flares by that stage, you will see in later videos that arch flares were fitted.
hello! i have some questions for you jajaj firts, where you buy the loockers ? and what blocks they are? i want to install on my niva lockers but i don´t know what to buy. what size of wheel do you have? your car is amazing!!
When you can virtually get Niva spares in the supermarkets in Oz (like you can for Landcruiser), then it will have arrived. Until then, it's just a niché!
They will always be niche here in australia. They used to be more popular but they stopped importing them 20 years ago. They getting a bit rarer to find these days.

Built like a tank and goes everywhere. Puts to shame many other overpriced offroaders
Its great to be able to keep up with the much bigger offroaders, more than a couple of people have been very surprised at what a niva can do offroad.
True. But it cannot be used to drive 80mph on highway smoothly.

Best off roader... especially if Our consider the price tag. Can't beat the Lada.
Great offroad car. The capability even in standard trim is excellent. its a shame there aren't so many of them here anymore
An Aussie who owns a Niva!?!?!? .....SUBSCRIBED!!!!
....I love that hexagon camo pattern by the way 👍
We love our nivas down here in Australia. I am Glad you liked the camo pattern
I think that it used to be called "Lozenge" pattern.

This video proves Lada does not need rock slider. Ladas body is rock solid.
they are indeed pretty strong cars
The best 4x4 ever made reliable strong motor will not let you down
I like their simplicity, they get the job done without too much fuss.
@@ozniva9724 100% they are what i see as a true 4x4 easy to work on great off-road vehicle the only true off roader
Awesome buddy - really one of the best Nivas that I´ve seen on UA-cam !!! Great suspension and I love the painting! And of course the DIFF LOCKERS !
Thanks Mate. I really tried to put some work in on the suspension to get it to flex out. By the way I just posted up the next video.
What springs did you use man this things awsome
@@ozniva9724 what lockers do you use??
Great awesome Niva! 👍🚜

Serious off road kit, used one for 5 years in UAE/Oman.

Niva, ‘towing out Toyota since 1983’
1977 !!!
That's an excellent design this Niva
Thanks Gergly Nagy.
That is a really cool looking truck.
Cheers mate.
Your niva’s camo reminds me OPFOR vehicles from arma 3.
Thanks Ozz, I havent played Arma 3. I based it off the AUSCAM vehicle pattern.
Локрайт в обеих осях в сочетании с бешенными ходами подвески - это просто охуеть как пушка
Спасибо, мы старались изо всех сил, чтобы получить максимальное движение подвески
Now... everybody wants a Niva. Great!!
The more nivas, the happier place it will be

A bit of anti-rust , keep an eye on the temperature and it will serve you whole your life. It was not made for such trails though😉
You are right about them not being made for those trails. I am putting a solid front axle in which will help alot in these conditions.
Ok we want more videos to watch your Niva adventures ha ha!
thanks, i just posted up the next video
IT ONLY MISSES A DIESEL ENGINE TO BE A PERFECT NIVA.
very nice rear spare wheel and jerry can carrier
Amazing car great fun. Thumbs up.
Звук мотора вызывает у меня ностальгию

No electronic BS. The apocalypse vehicle!
its great to not have any computer interference!
Sick paint job.
And this is 1.6 model (first model of Niva)...he put at least 5000 bucks to bring it on this level.
I dont want to put a figure of money on it. many weekends of work.

the wheels are 225/75r16
Wwwoooowww fantastic brilliant... Bravo !!

Try a hobbywing 1080 Esc and proline hyrax with beadlocks. Way smoother control on climbs.
Great video. I'm green. How does the niva drive on the tarmac in every day driving mode with automatic locker? The lockers are blokka I presume.
They are Blokkas, they are ok on the tarmac as long as you have a part time 4x4 disconnect. Not perfect but not to bad.
