I've acquired a datsun td27 4x4. It has been fitted with a temporary glow switch wired to the battery which I dont deal with. So on my journey to find out why the factory system does not work I have hit a brick wall. Things I've tried, new used factory timers, spare relays x2, tested glow plugs. I ...

Ended up getting flexi coils with 4" shocks plus new longer rear arms also, Well see how she is with new kit

Another question some of y'all maybe able to answer is will i get away using 3" lift springs with 4" lift shocks to maximize the most flex possible?

Cheers

Hi all, I have a 90 SWB Y60 with factory nissan automatic/Manual locking hubs. I have read you can remove the auto part from inside these which is very easy. BUT my issue is i have the model with the auto ring located on the end of axle by snap ring, Has and one removed this before done this way? I ...

Looking to fit 35" simexs to my SWB safari, so looking for all parts required for a 3" lift,

Cheers

Turns out its cracked number 4 between valve and combustion chamber on head..

I have fitted a new brass radiator , New thermostat an a new water pump. No signs of any coolant leaks any where. Its a silver top non turbo motor which i have fitted a turbo too but runs oil for cooling only. So im guessing its either head gasket or liner as you say, Im unsure what other things i ...

yeah its very odd, Never seen symtoms like these. I have done a TEE-KAY test and its negitive of gases so it says. If i clamp the line from top of thermo housing to radiator filler neck bubbling stops but water level rises and starts to push out. I used a coke bottle in filler neck to raise highest ...

Hi all, My new safari seems to have alot pressure in cooling system, From feel of the hoses. I have fitted new thermostat, Radiator and water pump all new. The coolant seems to bubble like excess air in the system but almost continuous. Oil looks fine, Temp gauge sits as normal on idle. However i ...

Also a tacho sensor to suit TD42 ,

Thanks

Hi all, I have a SWB safari Y60 im looking to lift as the current factory suspension has sagged as well as i plan on putting some 35" tyres on it at a later date. Doing some research its all abit airy, My questions are with a 3" suspension lift will it still drive well on road still? Im trying to ...

Is the drag link catching on the u bolts? Hey mate, doesn't appear to be. I notice a bit of rubbing on the rubber bump stop as ive relocated that foward with the diff but it has rubbed through so i believe it no longer does.. it was quite a deal setting the drag link on the right angle with bolts ...

Ok so a bit of a update, taken alot longer then i thought to find time to get on to this issue. I have fitted castor wedges to the front and its made a huge difference, not perfect but defeintly better. im going to go slightly bigger in the wedge and see if i can get it where i want it. also bracing ...

Might sound like a dumb question, But what way round did you put in the wedges to cure your issue?

cheers

did ya sort the bump steering issue out? what was the steering box to wheel travel alignment like? did you look into those wedges??? so many questions ...so little time... 8) sorry ive been away with work doing 12hr days today maybe the day to try many of these suggestions, i will defiantly be back ...

When you shortened up your drag link did you ensure your steering box was centred? Also with the lift you have are the ball joints on the ends of the draglink binding at all, they could be catching and preventing the steering returning, highly unlikely though. i centered best i could by measuring ...

you can get caster correction wedges that fit in between the leaves and the axle to help roll the diff to get better caster. skid on here would be better to chime in if 5d is acceptable or not. check every thing else first and if the steering is still crap then the wedges will be the next step ...

Sorry i didnt give the details overally correct, 1 perch already has the hole factory to move diff forward its just a case of drilling the opposite perch to match which was done so both sides were moved forward 35mm. Yes extended shackles were fitted they measure 6.5 inches long, also while i was ...

I'd guess your castor angle is out, as your diff moves forward along the spring the diff rolls slightly changing the castor angle, not much but perhaps enough to affect the self centreing I also have been thinking this, the guys at the wheel alignment shop put it up and said its all bang on, but im ...

So after moving my front diff forward i have since encountered a bad steering issue, I redrilled the spring perch on 1 side and move the diff forward i think its 35mm as alot people do to clear big tyres. I already had an adjustable drag link and have shorten that right up to suit. But my issue now ...

After decent tread 35" mud tyres, MUST BE 15" AND M/T

throw me some pictures and details.

Cheers for all the replies people, I was running 33" buckshots but i found those very average offroad, But im 90 percent sure ive made room for 35s so thats whats coming. So sounds like either mudzillas or treptors? Maxxis no longer make mudzillas but im told they do have sets around the country ...
