Baxter's top ten useful, interesting, or inspirational Niva sites:
1 Lada
UK Forum
Plenty of Niva discussion; UK based, but plenty of international participation,
especially from the antipodes. Highly recommended. Also the home of Lada parts
dealer for UK.
2 Difflock
The other English speaking Niva forum; also caters for other breads as well,
and many general off-road driving topics.
3 Niva.ru
FAQ
English & Spanish translations of Russian
FAQs; very handy and hopefully expanding.
4 Niva
Adventure
Lots of modifications and forum (French, some English content)
5 Cloggy's
Niva Site
Archive of the original Kiwi 2 litre Fiat Conversion site, Toyota power-steer,
and more. The site that got me into Nivas all those years ago...
6 Navigatsioo
Nitehnika
Estonian Niva crew who did what looks like a cross between trials & orienteering;
in Estonian of course, but a very good gallery, and it looks like they had a
load of fun.
7 Parque
4x4
A comprehensive Niva site in Spanish, plenty of tech, modifications, & good
images; They're into long range & extreme Niva driving.
8 Gadgetboy's
site (formerly www.turbo-nutter.com)
GB's
on-going build & modifications diary, includes full Niva 1600 & 1700
manuals, parts catalogue, and other handy bits-and-bobs.
9 Baxter's
Temple of Niva Site
Lots of Niva stuff: modifications, stickers, etc, with an emphasis on Do-It-Yourself.
10 Niva
Nuts
Archive of an Australian site about a highly modified Niva for desert etc trips.
La web del Lada Niva - comprehensive Spanish Niva site, includes Niva on portals, racing Nivas, V8 Nivas and more, including the Paris-Dakar Nivas. Incidentally it seems Nivas were homologated for international racing right up until at least April 2006!
Nivamania - another comprehensive Spanish Niva site, plenty of competition Nivas. Also appears to be dead (archive of latest version here).
TurboNiva - Sean Huffman's Canadian turbo Niva project, includes manuals, and other useful bits & bobs. Archive of old versions of the site here
Niva clubs & forums - Over 50 Niva clubs, from Argentina to New Zealand.
Lada-Sport - LSDs, low-ratio TC and other useful bits. Germany (English version available).
Niva Shop .ru - Every imaginable Niva accessory, rock-crawler TC gear set, hot cams, 4.44 differentials, body-kits, and much much more. But exporting from Russia can be a fraught process.
Lada World - Danish E-shop that exports Russian sourced Niva accesories worldwide.
Apoio 4x4 - Brazilian Niva accessories; engine upgrade kits, lift kit, interior dress-up, dizzy wading kit (Portuguese).
Natal 4x4 - Another Brazilian Niva accessories shop; snorkel, double CV centre joint, VW engine adapter kit, lift kit, body kits, etc and home of the famous X-Niva (now sold) (Portuguese).
Lada Italia - Italian aftermarket for the Niva, power-steer, air-con, body-kits, etc. Also includes info and avi movies on the Ferrari V8 powered off-road racing Niva.
Russian Niva Club FAQ - lots and lots of info, modifications etc (Russian).
Excossack / John's site - Downloads for the Hoodoo 2" lift and alternator relocation bracket, and home of the Niva Register.
Viva! Niva! - No not a GM-Lada joint venture! It looks like a blog style site of a Japanese Niva fan - no idea what it says to be honest, but it looks kind of interesting. It also looks like it's now gone - archive here.
World Niva Club - Not actually a club as such, but lots of older clipped tech/modifications stuff. Appears to have gone down - here's the archive of the last working version.
NivaWiki - German wiki about Nivas; especially handy for info on injected Nivas (German).

Translator tips:
"W-Niva" translated from Russian refers to the Mk2 or Chevrolet
Niva.
Niva often translates as "field" or "cornfield" from Russian.
If you start reading about Hippopotamus' & Crocodiles, a Hippo is Russian
slang for the 3-door Niva, and Croc for the 5-door.
