Re: Rubicon vs Sport vs Overland

Hi all Going through a similar question myself Rubicon or Sport? Two door not unlimited.Most of my driving will be Central Otago rock or coastal Otago mud and clay. Nothing too extreme, but then still want a capable vehicle. I can probably live without the diff locks and not sure if the 44 front is...

Re: 2WD steering Mod hitting Sway Bar

If you click on the photo it shows it the correct way up. I looked at the thread above and the pics of the Terrano sway looks like it drops down off the bottom arm. Maybe a Terrano one will fit my Navara? In your photo, the suspension is at full extension, have you tried taking it off the jackstand...

Re: R20 vs D21

The diamond in the rough has got to be that gearbox. You've got some quality box, hard to find a box like that, it will plug onto the back of the engine in your WD21. I wouldn't bother with the diffs, same diffs.

Crash bandicoot used to have R20 and will know more about parts compatibility etc

Re: grenade engines

I believe the EGR system causes it to melt pistons etc. Seems like almost every major manufacturer is the last 10-15 years has had a light duty diesel engine that suffered from catastrophic failure, and it can always be traced back to the emission control system. http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/nissa...

Don't think they will work if it is still the standard 4 link with panhard, it relies on the flexibility of the rubber to allow it to flex. Whereas 3 link with panhard would be fine with sphericals.

They are great value for money and very capable vehicles. Not the best economy on the open road but then when one buys a V8 one is not theoretically thinking of economy. The Lexus conversion in the Disco have tons more power and also run approx. 8lt/ 100km less than the normal 16-18lt/ 100km..........

Re: Pitman arm length - How crucial ?

I imagine that so long as the draglink and panhard are still parallel (as with any other live axle front coil setup), it would be fine. If the pitman arm drops a bit and puts them out of parallel, you might get some weird steering input in certain situations (bump steer). Yeah I was reading about th...
