Re: Gearing for a heavy GU on 35's

depends also how bald they . i've 4.375's on 35s td42t its alright on 35's its very good on the road but i would go for tc gears if i wanted to play with low range but for fuel economy and speed i would use 4.3's. 4.6 would be too high and you would be stuck doing 100 cause your engine would be ...

So I wonder why some blokes say they are revving around 26-2800 on 35's with 4.625's
how many 35's actually measure 35'???

Even if the tyre measures in at 34.5"s on 4.625's the rpm would only be 2353 rpm.

Re: Gearing for a heavy GU on 35's

I think you have chosen the right gearing. The correct calcs give me 4.5:1 gearing to suit 35's. this would give you the factory settings for revs & speedo as if on 31's. So 4.375:1 is close to 4.4:1 so you are a tad under. The 4.625:1 will be to high for your needs. The 4.3's should give you ...

Detroit soft locker. Anyone know where I can still get one for the rear of my GQ as they no longer make 'em. Was informed on another forum that opposite lock have a stock of these but not so as I found out today.

You wont get any more flex with a snake arm as any other brand drop radius arm , because the 3 link design is what binds up through the bushes. The most common options in order are below if you require additional flex Superflex Arms X Link 5 Link 4 Link Triangulated 3 link There is heaps of ...

Re: gq rear control arm

couldn't see it being a drama. I run heavy duty ones with a 6" lift that are factory GQ length. Reason I stayed factory length was the 35's just hit the quarters as is any longer & they're really bite into them.

Re: Why did nissan stop making the 4.2td.

Just kidding... You had to be. MF would never put an IDI short stroke motor in a tractor. :D It appears nissan are using Hino motors in their light trucks now. They'd be a good patrol motor.

Re: Why did nissan stop making the 4.2td.

I would like to know if there is a zd30 that will crawl out in the bush like a TD42. The ones I have experiance with are all still dead under that 1800rpm mark, & thats with tyre sizes no bigger than 32's. Makes for interesting rock crawling work & smelly clutch's. As far as 460,000 kays done by a ...

650 kays to 80-85ltrs around town on 35's I don't think is to bad. Haven't been on a trip since turboed & 35's fitted but expecting 700-750 kays out of the 85 ltrs.

Anyone who thinks a 3.0 4 cylinder engine is appropriate for a 2.5 tonne 4wd needs their head read. Its not in there because it was the right engine for the job...it's just because Nissan are disorganised morons... Yes well I agree with you 100%. There are some weird people in the world.

Re: small oil leak from turbo

Mine did the same thing. It was blow by. I disconnected the hose from the intake & its just sitting beside the motor atm. Fixed the leak. Think the oil was seaping out of the bottom bolt & pooling on the under side of the compressor.
