Re: Wheel hitting radius arm
just adjust the steering stop on that wheel slightly until it stops rubing
Current 4wd: Surf Kzn185 ssrg factory Intercooled (yet to start build)
Past 4wd: toyota surf ln130, coil sas, 1uz v8 build

Yep...plus check the steering stop bolt is still there, they are known to come loose and fall out. If so a good hex bolt will work as replacement with a locking nut for adjustment.

Oh sweet cheers guys thats awesome now to attack the dreaded long bolt on the thermostat, the water temp needle is only just above the cold mark thermostat must be stuck open hope that's the only problem and pray to the nissan gods the long bolt comes out as one piece wish me luck

I found on mine with 35s they are just to fat and need a different off set rim to move the whole tyre/wheel thing out a bit.

Give the head of the bolt a few good hits with a small hammer, if you cant get a clean hit on the head of the bolt, use a pin punch, this will usually 'shock' the threads and loosen the rust and crap etc
