Re: hit a log on side of local track

As others have posted, the usual thing is twisted output shaft on steering box. This is quite common. Check panhard bushes as well, often when the box hakes a hit large enough to twist the shaft, the panhard bushes are also damaged. This is often what causes "wobble"

Re: Td42T which airbox is big enough for 23+psi

My understanding is that donaldson do not make an airbox with a side entry and end exit that fits well. some people adapt donaldsons but they mostly run them in reverse which is less than ideal.

Re: zd30 air box lid air flow

You could plumb a standard zd30 airbox up to a 700hp engine, the airbox would then be a significant restriction in the intake system. You may then loose 200hp to the airbox, but you might still make 500hp. If you can get a zd30 box for free, run that, then when funds permit, free up the intake by ...

Re: price guide assistance

Hi mate,
we are a Patrol wrecker, for your reference, our prices would be as follows:
RB30, $695
5 Speed, $795
your 5 speed should sell well as they are not a reliable box.
The RB30 may not sell well, we rarely get calls for them.
good luck

Re: Divorced transfer case

as aferal said, a GQ/GU case would be very easy to adapt. it has a sealed female input shaft that would lend itself to having a press fit spline inserted into it and then a spline to suit a front or rear patrol tailshaft flange on the other end.
easy as pie(if you know a machist)
