Re: FZJ105 GTX35R 700hp Turbo Build

Now that you mention it, I couldn't agree more lol...

I have been so accustomed to people quoting a set figure, but assuming he hasn't made any changes to the driveline over standard to change that variable, there's no way it's losing 300hp in the driveline now!

There is no way in hell that is making 500rwhp. That number would be 382rwhp and the title of the thread must pertain to the 700hp turbo which doesn't mean the motor will make that, never does. My thoughts exactly. Dan From what I've seen/heard, AWD 105's tend to lose not far off 50% driveline at ...

Re: NISSAN GQ FRONT DIFF WHEEL TO WHEEL INTO 105 CRUISER

As a few of us said at lcool, why bother basically?

Build the Yota diff and you WONT break it, it will be stronger than the GQ one, and have better clearance underneath.

Oh, and the slight fact you're thinking about spoiling a Cruiser with Nissan crap lol! Would you put a Ford engine in a Holden?

Re: Brake upgrade on 4Runner

The rear brakes won't help at all, even if you put Porsche ones on there lol, the majority of your breaking force is in the front.

Best bet is V6 4Runner calipers and master cylinder etc. Should be plenty of old threads in here I'd imagine, if you search around.

Thanks mate. I mainly installed it for towing and driving at speed where the ECU likes to continually en/disengage the lock up. I basically made my own version of this for $200 less, but with less hardware and more reliability: http://www.automatictransmission.com.au/release.asp?NewsId=12101 ...

What I'm after is a constant LUC signal the entire time as per factory, except for when I want to manually lock it with the 12v signal. So in effect 'OFF' is the original output signal from the ECU. In my last post by an on/off switch I was just meaning the utilising of a rocker switch in cab. I'm ...
