your up to the fun part, this is where i was happy someone else was doing it lol.

yea sure am..between grinder plasma gastorch and big f#cking hammer should have it under control.....

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Dec 16, 2012 5:08 pm

had a good day.removed all the ifs shit off chassis.shit i love plasma cutters.ha used a grand total of two 115mm cut off discs and half a grinding wheel.
aafter plasma beem though

then with the help of these

then ended up with this

then sat diff under

set diff angle the same as oldmans gq, bit of a gap between chassis and radius rod.thinking will slot holes on diff to rotate arms around to a bit closer to chassis.

excuse the rotated pics.i rotated them all uploaded to photobucket which then rotated them back,so i re-rotated now I cant be fucked doing it a 3rd time...

looking good mate, looks like it will be a bit easier that what mine was, at least your chassis is wide enough lol.

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 7:42 pm

yea,should get a bit done on it next weeek without this having to work busness.haha
. but yes chassis rail pretty much the right width at the rear,mount centres will pretty mucch be inline with edge of chassis rail i think..spring hats will need to move in about 50mm each side,but thats no major!

Dirtydog · Post by **Dirtydog** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 9:55 pm

actually that sounds about the same as mine......

hmmm, got me thinking now lol.

next youl have to put in a safari box and a vh41 :mrgreen:

what you think a 1uz running link extreme and 7-10 psi boost wont be enough? ha!

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Dec 23, 2012 4:24 pm

strengthened one side chasssis rail today,used 8mm plate...

welds arent the prettyest, but i dont think they will fall off.haha

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Wed Dec 26, 2012 5:35 pm

diff to chassis mounts have been made..

ha the vh series motors are quite wide, dont think one would fit,clearances on the driversside between steering box, alternator, steering shaft,and exhaust,and coiltower are getting closer...next time id probly go coilovers...but $ talks.haha

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Jan 06, 2013 7:22 pm

so my chinese welder shit the bed the other day, so oldman and i solved that problem

a dirty old 3 phase miller..welds alot better too...

broughtfront pahard for a dollar...
front ends pretty much all in

tied the pahnard rod into a plate which also spacers steering box out so box clears alternator, so steering box is effectivly mounted on 16mm thick plate with crush tubes through to other side.dont think it will fall off...

clearance between alt and steering

and shit I cant get photos to rotate the right way...

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Thu Jan 17, 2013 6:38 pm

been chippping away at the rear, started with diff mount

not quite finished going to plate the top. plan on sticking it to the factory link mounts then box it it..

lower chassis mount

also bought some more goodies..

anyone with a standard height 130 surf able to measure the height between the centre of the front hub and bottom of gaurd lip?

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 6:19 pm

not really knowing what the feck im doing(first attepempt didnt quite work,...) have attempted version 2 rear four link...mostparts are just tacked at this stage..

oldman converted lathe into pipe knotcher,easyer than the way I had planned(and more accuarate for links)

going to add some bars to the back to protect the locker actuator as looks vunerable?

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sat Apr 20, 2013 7:56 pm

been a while so thought id throw in a small update,been slow progress, started on exhaust manifolds, finally got my rims and mounted tyres and threw them on for poser pics...

appears i havent taken any of the r/h manifold but its proving to be more difficult..due to steering colum etc,hopefully have it sorted tommorow

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Apr 21, 2013 5:31 pm

l/h manifold in place

rh an lh off

will need to cut and twist turbo inlets a bit...probably not the best for flow and all that busness,but can be changed later on...

evolution02 · Post by **evolution02** » Sun Apr 21, 2013 7:50 pm

Shit that's looking good.
With your turbos down there it's going to be a plumbers nightmare of intake and boost/intercooler piping

Just a question I've always wondered. When you guys on here have done SAS conversions how do workout where to attach the spring mounts to chassis height wise?

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Apr 21, 2013 8:00 pm

yea plumbing could be a spider web,was seriously considering a single this morning...
and the spring hight ,well you'll get a laugh out of how i did it.

.I know my weight, and balanced on the spring and worked out how far down it went, then took a guess at what the truck would weigh and did some rough calculations then stuck it there and saw what happened.lol time will tell if they will be right by the time i get a winch and bar work onit...

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sat Jun 01, 2013 6:54 pm

got bumpstops and front shocks in.(front shocks are probably to long, but i squeezed them in...) and relocated spring mounts on diff. need to trim/weld/grind/paint a few bits to finish off.waiting to find a lsd to put in my 4.6 diff head beforee I pull diff out to weld up.

choice build bro

are you going to intercool??
and if so are you going for top mount or front?
ive been wondering about slaping a couply turbos on the side of my 350 but I have no room for an intercooler really so I was wondering about the added heat to the engine?

just wondering if you thort about this yet..
awesome build tho some pretty good home fab work there, good on ya

cheers dude, yea going to intercool it deffinatly. not sure which way ill go,have a water to air sitting around that i may use or front mount. w2a is similar to this one http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 883604.htm
all depends on clearance, as i want to run the 1uz hydraulic fan, but its quite fat.

if you dont have much room could always look at water/methanol injection.also depends how much boost you want to run too.

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Jun 09, 2013 7:43 pm

made rear bump stop mounts

hmm can see why they have heated regs now

grinder got away on me .... :lol:

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Jun 30, 2013 8:05 pm

found stuff to fill in boot floor hole...

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 6:17 pm

not at full flex, still heaps of down travel in the shock...

[/url]
might need to trim the top of the guards a bit

almost as tall as me,and Im over 2m...

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 8:18 pm

making a new crossmember for the gearbox, not quite finished yet but...

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sat Aug 10, 2013 8:36 pm

nice!

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Sun Aug 18, 2013 8:15 pm

made a discovery today, cant actully remove right rear sparkplug lead cause of thr breakbooster...well not without breaking it.thought i could just squeeze it past....crack guess not.

made braket for brake proportionaing valve and welded brakets on to tappet cover for new coils.also removed exsisting loom to make room for my new one Ive yet to make..

hopefully these all come out the right way
edit, show up the right way in photo buket,dunno why they are still sideways... :oops:

Looking good man.

Can you modify the booster by putting a relief in it?

Matt.

possibly.I might look at that Option later,but for now Im thinking ill just use a standard lead and fit a grommet to stop it fulling up with crud.

quick question. what are you planing to use to run the auto as the g4 wont run it? or are you gonna just run it in "manual" mode?

skidmark · Post by **skidmark** » Mon Aug 19, 2013 7:28 pm

was going to run g4 as a 'piggy back' originally, but since haveing driven for a auto for a while. Ive decided to hook it up as a manual shift, with something like a raddesigns shifter.but ill prob make my own.
