alsome posts i can't believe that the north and south island can't work together either maybe we should be looking at a format like ORANZ run ? that would keep the travelling costs down until the big final at end of each season which could be alternated year by year between north and south island ...

who out there actually wants a 37" trye when i built my truck last year to complete in the winch challange series one of the biggest costs was the tryes and rims, if we go changing rules again to 37" it means if you can get competitive tryes in that size everybody is going to have to change up to ...

Yup do the whole exhaust from back of turbo as the dump pipe is crap from factory with 90 degree bend off the back turbo. On my truck we dropped the overall engine temp just by doing the exhaust, it always used to get hot before doing it now no trouble. Gained some power but due to the factory torbo ...

cheers for all the replays at the moment i have managed to track down a set of 35x11.5 simexs and since i'm normally in the mud will probably buy these.

Thanks for all the comments looks like if i move to an area with less mud and more rock etc would go for the creepys.

Just wondering on the above tyres has anybody used them ? At the moment i have one very bald set of simex which need replacing.

Do they compare to the simex well in the mud ?

Cheers

The V6 diff is the same 4.6 ratio in the auto (just double check the firewall before buying). If you are putting the V6 diff in i would also swapp over the half shafts as they are stronger being 29 spline as opposed to 27 in the desil. I also agree locker in the front with LSD rear would get you ...

Further to the existing comments; The front diff in the 2.7 turbo disel is a r180 same as early s13 silvia's. They are 27 spline. The front diff in 3 litre petrol is a r200 same as skyline r32,33,34 and s14/s15 silvias(200sx). These are 29 spline. As can be seen above the Lock right LOCKA's etc are ...

As said above 9000 pound premier/comeup winch for sale has never been used still in box purchased last month however since i have now got patrol with PTO don't need. Had excellent reviews by the assuie 4x4 magazine, can run on 12 or 24 volt vehicles. Winch comes with solonod pack, remote, pulley ...

Ok will post some pics of drop boxes once done think i will be waiting until long weekend at the mo got fishing trip this weekend.

Doddzee i have a think bout those tyres to they look seriously mean.

Well i use the patrol every day however was thinking of running set of road tyres and maybe mud tyres. would those one you got for sale handle bot of road use ie sometimes i drive 3-4 hrs to 4x4 tracks ? On my old truck i ran hancook mud tyres did bout 40,000 on them before they wore out most of ...

Ok thanks heaps for all the help everybody been great, i've just put 4' coils and shocks (tough dog stuff) and currently getting guy i know to make up some adjustable panhard rods and rear trailing arms. Also making up some drop blocks(2') for the front raduis arms will hopefully get done this ...

Ok think i might go with tough dog shocks and springs 4' lift and modifly my panhard rods to suit with 12mm spacers under gearbox. Further to this i've priced up some 33' and 35' the one concern i have with running 35' tyres however is the increase in gearing i'm going to basically loose my low ...

Ok still thinking bout suspension on the drop boxes you mean just welding on new mounting point to drop the arms down to match the spring lift ?

Has any body got and pics or actually done this ? Also does any body know how reliable the petrol factory diff lockers are ?

Thanks

Hmm by the sounds of it would i just be better of running a 3' lift and 33' tryes the truck is a td42 manual with HX35 hoslet turbo I'm just keen to try get big rubber under it as on my terrano i kept on getting bellied. Also with a bigger lift do i end up with more articulation, or just make ...

Hey thanks for that, don't like the sound of sagging springs. Do you recommend any other brands ? Also with that lift am i going to have problems with the rear driveshaft ie vibrations ?

Thanks any help appriciated got to get further than my mates 80 series

hey guys just upgraded my terrano to a swb patrol and i'm thinking of buying OME 5' lift ie shocks/springs then getting guy i know to make some adjustable panhard rods, 3rds arms and possibly some snake racing drop arms. With this lift could i fit 35' tryes ? also has anybody run OME on patrol ? i ...

i,ve actually taken the terrano crown wheel and pinion out and swapped into patrol front one all looks good. Just thinking bout how easest to get the steering working now.

Mate has offered me a very good deal on SW patrol however and it's making life difficult

Have finally had time this weekend to strip both diffs down and have now put terrano rear in the patrol front just got to get the factory lash settings ?

Can i get these from nissan ? or does somebody have specs laying round ?

you mean buy getting patrol 4.6 ratio ie an aftermarket crown and pinion ? That sort of sounds expensive i will try the terrano crown and pinion in the patrol diff since i've got both sitting on the floor at home. Hopefully all fits, i also heard you can get from the states for dna 44/30 ratio ...

even with the terrano rear crowm and pinion in the patrol diff i'm sure this will be much stronger than the standard IFS ? I'll pull down both diffs tonight and make sure that the terrano crown wheel and pinion will fit in the patrol front before doing the copping. The other way i was thinking of ...

Hey guys currently investigating putting patrol diff in front of my terrano and need ratio specs for patrol manual and auto ? Also as far as i can confirm the patrol diff is the same as terrano rear meaning i should be able to swap over a terrano crown wheel and pinion to keep my 4.6 ratio ? Decided ...

hey thanks for all the help finally got the keys of my mates last night put $40 in it and didn't get very far.

Think i pass the petrol up and look out for a desiel.

Cheers

hey guys currently got a terrano 2.7TD with ARB locher etc but i'm currently looking at buying my mates 80 series. It petrol 3l 6cy with factory lockers and winch done 200,000km. Since i havn't owned one and my mate for some reason can't accurately tell me how much petrol it burns can somebody help ...

Hey just wondering if any body has done a body lift on a terrano as i'm going to do mine shortly and are keen to hnow if there is any majors envolved ? Any info appriciated, i have looked at the all the american sites but no body has really giving me any hard facts ie if brake lines end up to short ...

Cheers for that i pulled axes and diff head out last night and yup its 31 spline with 32mm axes.

Does any body now if the turbo desiel runs an r200 diff in the front ?

Thanks for any help

hey was wondering if any one knows the spline count for rear axes in the above terrano i believe they should be 29 spline but not sure any help appreciated, otherwise think i have pull diff down and have look.

I've just filled my gearbox up took 7 litres and there is a big bung near top of gear box, i used manual pump to fill as is very tight the easy way is to remove gear shift and pour in top. Any gear box oil works well if yours is starting to make noise put some promar additive in it works wonders on ...
