next mission is to build an a frame to tow it with

tank test cost me $80 six months ago run the line with rubber mounts and get the pros to finish and cert mounts for tank have to be approved too get them with system if you can make sure the reg is for big enough engine( big v8s should run twin regs) or one for idle/crawl one to give full flow under ...

not able to run bigger than 33S?

in pretty good nick for a 20 yr old 4wd hope this helps

my 2 c worth as a mountain bike suspension tech a good copy of a design with bad geometry will perform poorly a good system can be made better with a modern advanced shock absorber the more adjustments you have the better and they more likely they will be set wrong until ya do lots of measured test ...

yes well good hijack of the nissan thread i didnt see one marked random lvv rantings top of the south if its gotta v8 or looks kinda shiny brent pahl nelson cert services operating at nelson mechanical 130 vanguard street if its looking a bit bush then mot is probably the go if its too rough or ...

and you can sneak in two 10inch fans in front of the radiator but behind the grill
super cheap has them cheaper than trade me
do we have a member supplier?
fit very nice takes a bit of trimming on back of grill plastic
and gotta take the rad out to install but once they are in sweet

or anything nice about 2lt either
i do have a 2lt turbo and manifolds lying around already if anyone is keen
i think if i do ressurect the surf it may become a supra

MEANWHILE not to hijack the thread but
whats a 2lt turbo and manifolds worth if someone had one lying around?

excellent i was getting there
reading thru the how to photo thing
makes modding 4wds look easy

sweet sounds good
might be able to offload some surf parts onto you
very busy next few weeks

lvv and plates is kinda priority at the moment
my other car is a bicycle
then diff swaps
and then maybe do a few mods later on before another cert

4.88 is lowest gearing

and are any of the other ifs bits any use to me?
may end up wrecking whole surf warrant just ran out motor is dead everything else is tidy and well maintained

yep tried that
the surf one is g 285

the double cab lux one says t h and k no numbers
