Re: Wheel Spacers
What kind of strain would these put on everything else? And also can someone tell me if these would be equivalent of an ifs hub swap on a solid axle surf? Trailer my mud tyres everywhere so no major for the road legalness. It's the same as using a big offset wheel, or bigger offset hubs etc. It's t...

I'll add a vote to The tyre doctor in otahuhu, they get anything we need to get done for customers. If it can be done safely, they can do it.

When I got my flywheel machined to suit my new clutch (a few years ago now) the specailists found that the flywheel had been machined wrong previously. I forget if it was ...

Re: Torsion bar locking clips are a b*stard
I posted it in another thread, but ..... I re-index mine at the front. After you've loosened the adjuster right off, undo the 3 bolts that hold the bar to the lower arm, slide the splined sleeve back along the bar till it's off the spline, turn it, slide it back on and bolt it back up. Much easier.....

Re: FYI - Terrano D21 Measurements
It's important to remember that you need to allow for a bit of compression of the bumpstops, particularly on the rear, where they have very long soft ones. You will kill shocks and probably crack/break the mounts if the shocks are too long and you start being a bit rough (jumps etc...)

OK, so I’ve finally got around to doing the torsion bar adjustment a couple of weeks ago. Looks much better now. Was fairly straight forward and no real problems encountered. Here is the procedure: (You can perform these steps to each side as you go or repeat once one side is completed) 1. Jack up ...

Re: D22 Ute - weak front end?
D22 is bad for cracking chassis around front suspension mounting brackets. Start is tiny hairline cracks, then get bad fast. Have to look real carefully to find it before it gets bad. According to nissan it only happens if bullbars fitted, but I've seen many cracking with no bullbars.... i've only ...

Re: national trials round 5 - dissapointing
Are you saying you were forced to attempt the course? Of course not. It is up to the competitors to decide wether or not to attempt a hazard at all, and if attempting a hazard, how far or how hard to take it. If you drive like a nut and break your vehicle in the process then you have no one to blam...
