Re: Terrano Front onto Navara D21

Headlights are a definite difference and park lights will be slightly too big for the rano grill. Question though, why swapping? I see many people going the other way (Navara grille and lamps on a terrano) on account of aftermarket LED headlamp options for the navara headlight buckets. (I myself am ...

Re: Building Te-Rino

Far out bro you did well to roll it! You didn't upgrade to the R200 front diff? Haha was very gentle so no real harm done. It was the plan (even purchased the diff drop in preparation) but the 4.8 r180 came along for next to nothing. Will swap to R200 one day though, it's part of the master plan......

Re: Building Te-Rino

So I had landed a 4.8 front diff on Trade-me about a month or so prior to the above mentioned trip for a steal thinking that one day i'd start a project to swapping over from my 4.6s to 4.8s. Since the front diff had to come out anyway I figured now was as good a time as any, so after sourcing some ...

Re: Best all-round shock for 2" lifted terrano

Standards in the front end are just fine, have you reindexed or just cranked your torsions? If it's the latter then take em down & reindex instead so you get a better spring rate.
For Rears I use extended Munroes, but tempted to go Rancho 9000s when these ones start getting bad.

Interesting thought. The vacuum hose for the boost compensator on the fuel pump. Where does that go? In its current position it's on the butterfly bowl next to the intake elbow... I removed all the butterfly cold start crap when I put on the intercooler, also blocked off EGR. All the vaccum hoses l...

I wonder (and this is literally spitballing now) but if it's anything to do with the cold start crap on the intake elbow? (I replaced mine with an intercooler so never had a chance to have a problem with it as it was removed)

you should be able to roatate the compressor housing to make the outlet face vertical and make the silicone U bend redundant. same goes for the inlet flange :oops: Didn't even think of that. It actually bolts up nicely without having to change intercooler flange though as is so all happy over here....
