And people complain about the mud in NZ. Looks like a hard slog and the villages have had a real rough go of it.
Amazing where you can take those little step thru bikes.
Good read and watch cheers.

I have the hitachi equivalent - 18v cordless pro set. 5.0ah li-ion batteries. 1/2 in impact wrench is 255nm. Drill is good but would have liked the hammer model which didn't come in a set at the time. Broken a couple chuck bolts running 20mm+ auger bits when rushing. Batteries last forever and my wr...

Re: Half of the Volts, and "name that thing"
I run a redarc charge equaliser to manage the batteries individually and just run 12v stuff off one battery in the 24v system. Been working well for the last 5 years.

Re: flares
Conveyer belt rubber. i think i have 3mm. Can do full width of your guard replacing any inner skin, is nylon reinforced and nice and supple while still holding shape. Only the front done below (first attempt had that sag in it :x ) and hadn't been shaped yet. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk176...

Same as the A14, same block I think. The link says 93kgs - kinda heavy? http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Engine_Swaps#Engine_weights_and_specs You'll wanna know what gbox is in it to get an exact weight but just go off size maybe and compare it to something similar

Weird I have seen more than a couple manuals with remote starts fitted. Even seen one bunny hopped in the carpark with no driver in it as a result. Maybe just aftermarket fittment with an alarm or something.

I'd have thought the allen head bolts were round so don't know how sockets are gonna help given how tight the bolts would be. Surely they would just spin. Go the hammered torx bit way if a fresh allen key and heaps of pressure doesn't work. The spline on the torx deforms easier and should fit the bo...

I wouldn't go there if you wanted to spend more time driving than spinning spanners. Looks like it won't go for more than scrap value.

Must have been only a few trucks. I have truck 39 and its a 413 tag.
Re: SJ416
You're on the right track. Can just take a bit of a hit to get it out. I'd be careful not to score the housing with your pin though as it could damage the new seal when installing. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/Westcoasterz/xfercase012.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f328/Westcoasterz...

There are a few subbie gearboxes that had hi and low range selectors. The early gl or loyale wagons had electric difflock too. My 91 legacy also had hi lo BUT it wasn't an option on my particular car from factory it seemed. The gearbox was correct, Subaru just didn't have the linkages and incab bits...

Re: SJ413 transfer case bush
The oem ones can perish relatively fast due to exposure to oil I guess. There are better aftermarket ones that last longer. Even seen brass replacements. My non oem ones have done a few years now.
