I think that's could be the reason, as I have the roof rails (factory). But I don't have any drawings to dismount it...

thanks,

Hello, In my LC 100, m.y. 2001, when is raining, the cockpit is full of water... The water is appearing on the floors, looks like its coming from under the dashboard... Pretty strange. One person told me that there are some tubes that goes inside the body-sides and maybe these tubes are blocked. The...

Thanks, we know that. We mount it in order to check if everything is ok with the gears. We will add a silent block, a soft one.

thanks for looking,

Hello, As I said... I have water inside my cockpit, in front of the seats, under the covers... I mention that the car is used only as a holliday, expeditions, etc car. I didn't cross any water, it happens (I guess...) because the rain and snow water comes inside...somehow. I checked the under the wi...

No, its just the weld. We finished the fuel deposit welding, btw.

thanks,

This and Brus' are my favourite builds on outers at the moment. Keep up the awesome. :cool: ;-) I recommend you the topic of the other cars we are building now. Different car - designed from scratch for extreme off roading, "trophy races": http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic196326-30.php...

Any chance of a close up picture of the rear calipers/brake set up? is that factory mitsubishi and do the calipers have a park or E brake facility? thanks!! Hello, The rear wheel assembly is factory Mitsu pajero, but with a different brake disc and brake pads. The wheel hub is reinforced, as the fr...

wicked drafts. almost has the silhouette of a datsun 240z whats the car in the corner of the workshop? another buggy? Well, this is my good ol' Nissan Y60. The one in my signature. It was good enough, at the date when we build it. Even now is good enough, but what we are building now is "the n...

Brunswick Diesel in Perth Dont go the 6.2, plenty of threads on it. Hello, As another member already said, the 6.2 or 6.5 is not such a great invention... I do mount it in my Y60 LWB, with TH400 and 700R4, 4 years ago. It is more a question about what use you gona give to the car. For competition, ...

Camel Toe anyone? Have you guys done simulated tests on the stress/load on that support junction? It'd be interesting to see what sort of stress is there with seven points coming to one. Super neat weld job by the way! More pics :armsup: Yes, we used a program (I can't tell you the program name bec...

Welding looks like TIG not MIG to my very inexperienced eye..... I would have expected TIG with the mention of alloy steel earlier on. Hello, Sorry, it was our "internet - IT" guy who made the confusions... Of course it is TIG, with a specific alloy wire. But, you know, the IT and buildin...

What's going on?

;-)))) Well, not! I hate this kind of posters, especially in our shop. But I don't hate Miss Romania!!! At all!;-))

awesome, i'll be watching this build. any reason you start with RHS chassis instead of making it all round tube? Well, as I said: after a lot of years I learned to learn from others, mainly because I spent a lot of money doing mistakes. This structure is not my invention, but it has been done previ...

Hy guys, Well, the cars you see are designed and engineered by me. I'm a member of this forum since...a lot of years...;p-)). I've started in 2000 with an Y60, which in meantime change in such a way that is not a Nissan anymore...but this is another story! So, the cars: today we just mocked-up the e...

well i'm a diesel fan, And you can get a high performance diesel for under 10k.... Depends what your wanting to use it for, speak to a person who was in the outback with the new 6L motor and its already got a knock in it and only done one event the V8's just dont last but they do perform. For relia...

From what I remember... The turbo pressure should be 0.65 - 0.7 atm. You can increse the pressure by modifing the wastegate actuator lever, making it longer. BUT: you must remove the "valve pressure fuse device", located on the intake manifold, that is factory set to open to the athmospher...

Can somebody give me the part number and maybe a shop from where can I buy it? But the shop must work with overseas customers...

Many thanks,

Gabi

I use a modified Safari clutch with extra clamping pressure. It is in a TB42 but should make no difference. Hs been a good clutch and I have set it up so I only have to JUST move my foot and it takes up. Thanks! What means a "modified clutch"? What is modified? How can I get one up to her...

Hi guys,

As I said: based on your experience, which is the best clutch to use for competitions, in a TD42 supercharged (turbocharged, whatever...the same thing...)?

Many thanks, Gabi

I do have a Nissan genuine thermostat that opens at 76... I just bought it few wheeks ago...but its bought in Europe...;-(

BTW: the wheelbase now is 2650 mm.

Hi, I did moved the rear axel. If you move it with 250 mm, you don't touch the gas deposit. This is what I did about 3 years ago. Then I move it again with another 100 mm (or something like...), but I did moved the rear crossmember and I choped the gas deposit. The set-up is using a 4 link tringulat...

Hi guys! Well, I do own a TD42 with a in-line injection pump, The car is 1993 made, has 2 oil filters, 2 fuel filters (factory fitting). The pump is a Zexel (Bosch licence), looks exactely like a SD33 pump, but has a vacuum controled regulator, plus a centrifugal regulator above the vacuum regulator...

counter clockwise it deliverd more fuel. If you tirn the screw half a turn, you get about 10% more fuel...I've just checked theentire injection pump yesterday, at a specialised shop, and I've tried various set-ups forthepump...so finnaly I understood how this s###t is working... But, my TD42 has a i...

I have a similar problem...I've put a Vortec 2 supercharger on a TD42, that very curiosly has a in-line injection pump...;-(((, that is controled by 2 vacuums from the adimison manifold... So, now I can't "convince" the pump to deliver fuel according with the quantity of air that the super...

As I said: I'm working in supercharging my TD42, 1993 m.y. I mounted the vortech2 supercharger, the puleys, everything... I'm waiting for the new cone air filter, to move the vacuum tube that goes from the pump regulator to the intake manifold (in a normal td42 engine with INLINE injection pump, the...

Hi all, I'm in the midle of supercharging my td42...(finally!!!). So I have to fit one more pulley. Problem: the existing pulley dosen't want to came off!!! So I tried with a press, but I only manage to broke the pulley (not a problem, as I want to install new alluminium ones anyway...) Now I checke...

Hi,

Are the CV's iincluding the inner axles?! Are this heavy duty CV's based on genuine Nissan ones ore aftermarket?

I need to buy 4 of them, and to transport its to Romania, Europe, so as I will pay a lot of money for the trasnportation, I want to buy good stuff...!!

Many thanks, Gabi

Hi guys, My trip car is a LWB GQ in which I put a 6.2 chevy engine, TH400 gear box and NP208 transfer case. I used to have 4.625 ring&pinion, but I changed it to 4.11.... What to say: great low end torque (I use t/case very few times...), nice engine (and very simple one also)), very good gear b...

Hi, Just to let you know of my personal experience: if you plan to use ball joints (SKF, Timken ,you name it...) for steering, traction arms, etc...just don't do it...unless you have a Dakar official Team budget!!! Its worn veeeery quickly...after one competition you have to change every single ball...
