i posted the picture but i did not bend it, mate chris bent it, im yet to bend anything, we both have 31's not wound tortions, we go the same places but he has 8"rims that stick out about 50mm, he has bent 2x idler arms 4xtie rod ends in 2 trips,

[u13turbo]

Ohk so tie rods are not as expensive as i thought. I was thinking more like $70-$100.. well thats a bonus i guess.

[nizmo]

chris truck is the one on the left a bit hard to see but the wheels stick out the guards,

I do not think it is all down to the rim width as mine are 15x8's with -24 offset and 33" tyres.



I have yet to bend a tir rod or anything for that matter. I just have an issue with excessive wear on the tie rods.

Maybe I drive like a Nana?

[nizmo]

sweet thanks his looks bout the same as yours,

[sibainmud]

Mine are 8 inch with 0 off-set.


With no sway bars, 50mm body lift and standard torsions, 50mm lift rear springs and 32's (33.4) Simex's, I can do this piece of piss



More I flex it the better it gets

[u13turbo]

That looks awesome. Do you get rub at max flex on the rear gaurds? With 33's with body and sus lift do you need to cut front gaurds? is that very hard?

Trimed front guards just a wee bit, no rub at all, not even when I get it airbourne
I researched the off-sets to get it just right

Airborne! lol i done that awhile ago, not intentional tho.. So you would get bad rub if you had 11.5" wide tyres im guessing? I wanna try fit 33x11.5 or 12.5s but im guessing it would be abit of a mission..?

[sibainmud]

hmmm, i'm thinking a fair bit of chopping needed and a body lift.
To give you some idea, these are the same rims with 31x10.5's
So, off-sets are the key

[sibainmud]

I seam to, mind you I have removed all evidence there were any in the beginning. I can't help it if the wof guy doesn't know one Terrano from another

Lol. Mine has broke a rear swaybar link, so works as if there is none. Does removing the front make much of a difference?

[sibainmud]

I kept breaking them too. After the 4th and 5th ones, got sick of it and took the whole lot out.
I have a bit more body roll, and it's a little more of a handful under full brakes but it is a 4wd and you don't steer them, you merely guide them
Yesterday on the way home, I had to do an emergency stop and it was quite easy to keep it straight and turn all under control. So not much noticeable difference.

Haha love it!

[tpterrano]

hi, thanks all, i just priced raised springs can get 50mm ones for $135+gst but im starting to think maybe a body lift and taller tyres, i dunno ill sort something out, who is close to pahiatua who can give advice on a custom rear bumper with a easy removible tow bar??

Were can you get those springs from!?!? is that $135 for a rear set? thats sounds awesome, i need to raise my terrano up abit and this would be great. them and justwind torsions up and im set.

hi, i can get them through autoline in palmerston north, where are you from?? pm me some details and ill hook you up,

Hey Mate, this sounds bloody cheap to me, do ya reckon you could give me some details on how to get hold of some?? Thanks a lot,

[u13turbo]

I've tried searching but cant find the posts im after, I need to start making up the brackets etc to strengthen the front end, i've done 2" spring and torsion lift so think its time to get it stronger.

What is the big bar that goes from one side to the other joining tierods and idlers together? My one is buggered and i need a new one, dont wanna get it on and bugger a new one

Found this site, and this seems to be what i need to do.
http://www.nissan4x4.co.za/GH_ShowArticle.asp?HID=22

Does anyone have the measurements for the brace? and has anyone drilled out the old bushes in the draglink? its the bushes in mine that is buggered.

Not sure how much it would cost to make these brackets, but i Haven't had much practice with a welder so I'm not sure if its something i should practice on, If someone has the measurements and could make me some up I'll be happy to pay.
