i looked at the shocks today and it will be a pain in the ass to move them. the RHS will be easy but the LHS has all brake lines,fuel lines and ...

I just went and tried the set up out again. Conclusion: need 80mm bump stop extension and need to move the shock over so it doesnt bind on the control arm some how as this is stopping the axle from dropping down more as you can see. there is still plenty of downtravel to be made once the shocks are ...

rear gu springs.

yeah got rid of that a long time ago

i finally got the new brakeline and some shocks in, and took it for a test run. the flex goes ok but the shocks are binding up a bit. there is more flex to be had just have to sort out the shocks

ther terra flex look much the same as the superior engineering ones. you get reat flex but a harsh ride unless the shackles are pinned closed.

Gday 2 questions for you all
vehicle is a 93 NJ pajero 2.8ltr TD 4M40
1) have a vaccum switch thats located on the passenger side of the engine bay towards the top of the firewall, one vac line goes off to the other side of the engine and hooks up to where the brake booster hooks into the vac pump ...

engine is all wired up. all i am waiting on now is a new harmonic balancer and finding out where a vac hose goes. other than that once the balancer is in all i need to do is pop the radiator in and fill it up will coolant and engine oil and crank it over.

drop shackles work well. or put a longer custom leaf pack in with fewer leaves and extended shackles. or even just extended shackles should help it flex more this will give a bit of lift to so you may need to get longer rear brake line.

engine is back in the car with a new exedy clutch and pressure plate.
all the extra bits will have to be hooked up next week after work as i will be down south this weekend. I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel

Looking good, the 1st oil leak will make you cry!
yeah i know i hope it will take a while before i find a leak

well the engine is finished being put back together and it just has to be put into the car now and everything hooked up, so not to long now i hope. i just need to find a engine crane to ...

well its been pretty easy only working on it and hour or so a day after work. the hardest part was getting the harmonic balancer bolt off. needed to borrow a 3/4 inch braker bar to get it to move. other than that its all been pretty easy. Also i picked up the head today and finished putting the ...

well i have mostly stripped the engine i just have the crank and pistons to remove. the head is off and getting a new casting and all the internals measured up to make sure they arent bent. once the block is seperated it will be sent off to be honed and cleaned, then a overhaul kit will be ordered ...

yeah it was running like a dream before it happened not overheating issues or anything like that, these things happen i guess

Well i found the problem,
I removed the head and found that one of the combustion jets had fallen into the cylinder and caused major chaos.
I should be able to get the head rebuilt for about $1300, but not sure how much the block will cost to get resleeved and new pistons.
Options are:
1) rebuild ...

Hi all.
Went for a short 4wd last weekend and went through a few small puddles on the track, the track was easy going no hard parts mainly just gravel with a few 6 inch deep puddles in some spots.
Anyway after this i started the car up the next day to hear a relitivly loud ticking noise. I thought ...

Just a question, is the intercooler fan ment to be running all the time or does it only come on sometimes?
and does anyone have a wiring diagram for it as my repair manual does not.
cheers

are the kits from cal offroad exactly the same as the calmini ones for the nissan frontera from the states or are there differences?

Does anyone know where i can buy a D22 navara workshop manual, its a early 2005 model with the ZD30 Dtt engine in it.
An help would be good

did you have to modify anything else to fit them, like lower the mounts for the sway bar?

Got a 2005 D22 navara and was wondering if anyone had fitted ball joint spacers to lift the front end. I was only going to lift it 40mm. I was thinking a spacer would be better than winding up the torsion bars.
Any thoughts?

Hello all
I want some new ratios for my cruiser but not sure what to get. As a stocker it had 4.11's running 31's, currently its still got the 4.11 on 33's but i am getting some 35's and need to change it for highway use. Should i get 4.88's or higher?
cheers

is there such a thing i thought only the 80 series had them
