Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday all, New to toyota gear and need a help and straight answers. What rotors and calipers do I need to get vented rotors onto a hilux solid front axle with a 'wide trac' spacer kit on it? Also, are any parts from an 80 series front diff compatible with hilux front diff, eg will steering arms from ...

Thanks NJV6.

Rear diff is definitely 10 bolt.
Front diff is high pinion, and measures ~300mm from front cover mounting face to rear face of pinion flange.
Transmission is listed on manufacturers plate as v5m31, does that give any clues to what the transfer is?

Cheers
Daryl

Gday guys, Had a search and couldn't find the answer to a few q's. Can anyone give me some help in how to identify what transfer case is in a Mitsubishi Delica, with the intention of fitting lower tcase gears? Is there a visual clue, ie number of bolts somewhere or something? Its a 94 2.8itd, 5 ...

Does anyone know what the taper angle is for the upper balljoint in a Paj?

Cheers
Daryl

NP435 (NP= New Process)
6.69:1 1st
3.34:1 2nd
1.66:1 3rd
1.00:1 4th
8.26:1 reverse

4wd and 2wd are the same box except 2wd has shorter output shaft.

Yep, Nissan H233.

Basically I just welded everything 25mm at a time and let it cool. Took a while to stitch the truss on!! I used a straight edge to check it as I went, and if it moved at all it was less than I could measure.

The mounts in the pic bolt to the chassis where the rover arms did. Made using the centre plate from a poly chassis bush and GQ upper link mount that was cut off the diff. Lower links now have more triangulation than rover setup due to mounts being further apart on diff. I know the GQ stock links ...

Thought I might share some pics of another GQ diff install. Trussing is 75X75X5 SHS backed up underneath the bolt on mount and underneath the SHS with 10mm plate. Mounts are set up to use GQ lower trailing arms from diff to original point on Rangie chassis. Still deciding on where shock mounts will ...

Thanks Sam.

Does that mean the rangie bush is 35mm OD? The piece of med. wall 32nb that I have measures just under 35mm ID, at least I think its 32nb.

Yes pulley will be facing engine, with body of alt forward. Dimensionally big motor + new home + 6" into the firewall = need for lateral thinking ;) , definite space issues! Googling last night I found there is no problem with running backwards other than cooling fan efficiency, fan going backwards ...

Is there a commonly available shackle type bushing that fits neatly in a NB pipe size? Trying to avoid turning up carriers for the bush when making engine/gearbox mounts.

Can an alternator be spun anti-clockwise and still function correctly if it was originally running clockwise?

DiscoDino,

Another option is to use a nissan patrol 5 speed. Good first gear ratio, strong, and cheap. Les Richmond Automotive does a kit to put it between a rover v8 and LT230.

In Top Truck Challenge 03 there was a yellow 'Jeep' that had axles pivoting in the centre ala tractor front end with air bags controlling the articulation. Watching the footage it wanted to 'pig root'/hop alot when climbing and in the truck pull event but seemed to work fairly well in slow speed ...

No idea on the group buy. I just found em on the net a while ago and thought they were a better idea than the steel and seal jobbies. The other thing I was thinking is for the guys going to convert to solid windows, they are really easy to break into the car (get under the seal from the outside and ...

Aluminium, powdercoated black, $363 per pair for LWB, frames only.
Just an option.

Hydraulic guru's... What would you need to replace a tailshaft with a hydraulic pump and motor arrangement? Could it be done without a big reserviour and cooler? What sort of pump/motor, line size etc would be required? Parameters would be approx. 5000rpm max speed, max torque at pump say 10k ft/lbs ...

My GQ has started annoying the crap out of me and i was hoping someone may have some advice on how to stop the rattling noise of the doors. I thought it was the front doors and i think it still might be a little but i have bought new door hinges and have yet to put them in. Also my front windows ...

Local (400k's away) Nissan dealer quoted me $1345 for front or rear 4.6's for gq!!!

Question: If you have two sets of diff gears for the same type of diff, both approx the same ratio (4.6), but one has 11t pinion and 51t ring gear, and the other has 8t pinion and 37t ring gear, same hemisphere, same carrier, same materials, which one is stronger and why?

Cheers
Daryl

Ta.

Thats strange?
If the pinion is 9 teeth, and the crown wheel is 42 = 4.667
If crown is 41 = 4.555

I thought they were a true 4.625?

Cheers
Daryl

Anyone know what the genuine part tooth counts are for front and rear cw&p?

Are aftermarket gears same tooth counts?

Cheers
Daryl

backwards

~3" spring, 2"body, 80 series bumpstops inside coils, retained coils f&r, 14" travel shocks. Ran 35" tyres. On 32's in pic. IMO too unstable on side slopes and poor high speed handling.

Not an Enerpac, but maybe food for thought in terms of doing it yourself?

I just bought a "Borum" cheap chinese bender. Cost me a bit over a couple of hundred bucks. They said they used to have a problem with the crappy dies kinking the pipe but have swapped to large radius dies now that dont. We had a Dawn die in the shop and puting them side by side they looked almost ...

OK, I searched and couldn't find the answer. Can a h223b rear centre from a drum brake diff be used in a disc brake diff in rear of a GQ? I remember reading something about needing to shorten axles to avoid the thrust block in the centre? Have been offered a 4.6 centre from rear of 02 Navara. Its ...

HSV If its not costing you anything, Id say try and hang onto it. With as much time and effort into it as you have, its going to be a regret having to sell it for much less than you've put into it. Maybe just more fuel in the situation? Bad situation to be in, but maybe better to not make any more ...

Mick,

How about a detailed rundown of the ram setup for springs in the first pic?
