Re: Newby. Terrano v6 owner

Also I've got the v6 petrol engine what's the pros and cons between the two?


The V6 models have much stronger manual gearbox and front diff (R200) and double-offset CV joints (28 spline outer)

33x10.5s will fit standard unlifted (just) on the factory Lego wheels (15x7 alloy)

Re: TD42 RWD

Never know whats going on in someones life. Anyway about the gearboxes, it gets confusing because you have said before that they are all the same gearbox internals, which means we're all running around with Patrol gearboxes behind TD27s http://www.offroadexpress.kiwi/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=...

Re: TD42 RWD

There's misinformation in this thread. The cast iron FS5R50A manual gearbox was only ever fitted to one vehicle mentioned in this thread: Patrol/Safari and would be the only suitable/strong enough manual gearbox behind the TD42. As said, Nissan Civilian 2wd gearbox is the same and would be the best ...

Re: 18x1.5 Left Thread Tap = HD Nissan IFS Steering Links $9

Sorry I don't have it on hand. The outer tie rod is still weak spot in this setup though, I realized. Could improve on it by extending the adjuster and using a bigger non shanked outer :o eg FJ80 tie rod, taper reamer is easy to find too... http://www.marlincrawler.com/images/80end_500.jpg

You'll need to find an open carrier D44 which will probably be pretty difficult in NZ.

Re: My Pajero build. The Whale mk2.

Those are radius arms, and the brackets I was talking about. They make a kit for the WD22 platform (which is really quite different), and you still need to find an axle that isn't available in New Zealand.

You are right, adjusting a torsion bar does not affect spring rate, its just that the real world results feel very similar. Spring rate is determined by bar diameter * length of bar. When adjusting torsion bars, you are adjusting the twisting force, ie torque, on the bar. It is worth noting that the...
