Can someone tell me if i can fit a front ARB diff centre in to the rear diff ?If i get ARB rear side gears to suit the change in spline counts ?

Im just in the process of doing this conversion atm , but when i took the subaru master cylinder off the car i forgot to see which brake line goes to the front and which goes to the back ?

So can someone confirm which line goes to which axle ?

Cheers
Jamie

I ended up having to use a slide hammer with a special end that griped the inside of the speedo gear unit and apply a little heat to get mine out .

To fit them i had to

-Move ...

Can anyone tell me the actual true diameter of a 32-9.5-15 super swamper tsl ?

Im using vitara front diff mount rubers instead of shocks absorber rubbers as they are larger and they have a steel sleave in the centre so you can tighten up the bolts without crushing the rubber.

DoubleTough/Spidertrax front axles & CV's

Rear airlocker in the front

Solid spacers instead of the pinion crush sleeves

With the added traction of the 33's, you shoudln't need to hit stuff as hard, so your rear axles should hold up unless you are really getting on it.

Your option then would be ...

im just in the process of lifting the transfer with no body lift , i ended up having to do alot more cutting than expected, i managed to leave the floor on the passengers side by making a new transfer case mount on that side .
I also kept caught on the gear box cross member so i have chopped it off ...

I just got my local pannel beater to roll me four pieces of steel like this

Then i just welded the new piece in and cut the gaurd out afterwards

For the steering shaft I got another spline cut on the shaft so there are two universal joints on the shaft.
The drives side radiator mount had to be extended by about 30mm to clear the power steering box and on the drivers side I chopped the chassis radiator mount of and shortened it by 300 mm then ...

Id stay with the Sj413 box and get one of bens adaptor plate ,for simplicity sake .
I would also definitly look into power steering , it made mine alot nicer to drive on and offroad, and if you are going to be using fiddle brakes you need to be able to spin the steering wheel with one hand while ...

are these studs or bolts? and if so do the heads protrude on the other side?

Yes the bolts are counter sunk (Just like the ones you can see) and to stop them turning when you want to remove the box i just put a small ...

thats some good and well timed info ( I need to move my diff foward soon) , and can you post a pic of the shackel angle when its not flexing up.
Cheers Jamie

I borrowed a friends mill and it took me around 4-5 hours (yea i know im slow) so im not i any rush to make more of them But i will ask him if he will let me use it again.
I don't know the angle but it starts at 25mm and goes to 8mm but like i said this isn't quite enough if you want it exactly ...

I've just done this conversion , i made the adaptor out of a piece of 25mm steel and milled it into a wedge ( a piece of 30mm would be better) .
I had to move the radiator over about 35mm . I just chopped the mount off the passenger side chassis rail shortened it and re welded , and on the drivers ...

ive signed up to the mailing list and heres my zuk as is stand now , im just starting the process of fitting a nissan 1500 with a sc12 , discs on the rear ,fiddle brakes and hopefully some 32s, so twin sticks would finish the whole job off perfectly .

was it very hard to move the linkages for the handle down to the new height

na if i do the conversion ill just get the diffs complete and road legal and maybe later i'll consider doing a engine swap, v6 sounds good

I have been consideing putting hilux or similar diffs under my 87 hardtop suzuki . At the moment i am just looking for ideas as i just want to get my wish list sorted so i can collect parts over the next few years , the plan so far is to run
410 transfer case
70 series rear diff 4:8 ratio (rear ...

I wouldn't of thourght that using nissan diffs would have been worth it if you are going to stick with the standard engine or similar as you will be adding alot of unnecessary weight to the vehicle . Toyota diffs may be a better option as there is a larger amount of spares over here in NZ and they ...

i wasn't going to cut the whole guard out just the small lip next to the outer edge of the body the ownly problem is the fire wall i am also interested in doin this because that part of my guard is nearly rusted out

I could probibly make the body lift at school on the lathe but i got two prices for spring lifts and that was nearly worth more than the truck . I just thought cutting the guards would be an easy way out and it would keep the COG down

Please explain this a bit better.
