Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a ca18de in a sj413. engine from a s13 silvia with factory silvia auto. Most of that era nissan autos are the same centre section (ca, sr, 300zx, rb20, and terrano/pathfinder) Patrol and twin turbo 300zx have same val;ve body but have more clutch packs than the others.

My engine is on ...

My progress

Spike - that axle has been moved back, but it's all been done with the springs. See how much of the spring is visible in front of the rear wheels? On a stock sierra an equal amount of spring will be visible fore and aft of the tyre.

I'm not convinced the chassis has been cut but I could be wrong ...

Its had the rear 300mm or so cut off the chassis which might make it look like the axle has been moved back.

You got pics slyvan1?

if its a wide track sierra (going by your display pic you do) then they are on the rear wheels. Take the tyres and drums off and have a look for yourself. You will see the handbrake entering through the side of the drum backing plate.

Not quite 35's but...heres mine..

Dank: that doesn't make you a fence sitter, I don't think it's the fact that people don't like diff gears all together it's just that diff gears alone don't offer low enough gearing. You would have been more controlled driving that with 6.5s then with 5.12s. Joes zook goes well becaus. It's auto and ...

I don't know why people are against tcase gearing over diffs, you will always find an instance when you wish you had lower gearing. That vid shows it, gearing would mean you could have let the clutch out fully allowing you to consentrate more on other things. I really think we need a comparison ...

I disagree with Joe (respectfully). I was watching a youtube clip of a car that joe had built (4play) and geared via diff gears. The car is RPM's blue hardtop/bushwacker flares/SPOA and 33/34" combo. It was trying to do a simple step up but kept stalling, and had to give it plenty of berries to stop ...

the wiper arm isnt slipping on the pivot is it? There should be a phillips head bolt at the bottom of the wiper arm holding it on.

coily:

BAD
No reduction gears available unless you change to a leafy tcase
chain driven transfer tends to skip due to worn chains
weak bracketry/control arms
no front locker option
weird length diffs - cant change with leaf gear
rarer than leaf
engines have a dendancy to go bang
cannot lift as ...

- Fuel rail has its own fuel pressure regulator (FPR)
- I would suggest running the filter after the fuel pump - they hate sucking through filters.

Love the ghetto radiator piping!

Dank - I love how you said 'I had no fuel related issues at all', does this mean there were plenty of other issues :lol: :lol:

I simply run a VL commodore external pump and high pressure filter (after pump) and have never had a problem either with or without Supercharger setup/fuel pressure reg ...

with 4.9's, 30's and jimny engine i used to get 9L/100k's
with 6.5's, 33x12.5's and supercharged jimny motor i get 11.5/100

GTI injectors are rated around 270cc. I went up to CA18's at 380cc when I turbo'd mine and the duty cycles are really safe at 11.5afr @ 10psi. Depending on boost and how safe you want it I'd probably suggest the GTi injectors may be getting on their limit. As for intake temps the only reliable way ...

he used the larger sc14 rather than the 4agze's sc12. With both types you will struggle with pulley sizes and standard boost pressures.

Never fear, me and Jimmy will come see you lads sometime in the future...

No vids yet, was in march 09 edition of 4WDA custom mag, heading to the west coast of Tas early Dec and will try and get some pics & Vids.

Update: Upgraded to a genuine Sard 1:1 rising rate FPR, as the cheapo Ebay unit was giving up the ghost. Much better to drive, and still has good fuel eco at ...

although this is for a mpfi jimny motor, it gives you an idea on size/position and boost levels.

can I ask why down up/downgrade? Frog was such an inspiration...

because it zook already had a 4a motor in it, so it would be easier to keep it 4a series based, and really vit motor has nothing on a 4age. Suzuki motors are pretty lame when it comes to power/smoothness and upgrading.

mines a bit deceptive like yours ajsr,
only 2 inch body lift, longer springs, maybe 2 inch lift, with shackles/moves spring mounts to reflect longer springs.
bashed guards, diff moved forward and cut headlight bucked to fit 33x12.5's.

Because you want the gearing to mostly benefit the lowrange gearing, Diff gears (vit CW&P 5.12:1) will not give you low enough final drive. (gwagensteve has figures somewhere)

Gearbox changes are not an option, to expensive and will ruin your highrange.

Lowrange reduction gears can be purchased ...

this zook was owned by one of my mates-mates and it was maintained so well. He got a scratch in it once and got a complete re-spray. He rarely went 4wding and spent SO much money on it its not funny. Not a bad buy.

press, or put the bearing through a vice of some sort and bash the axel back through.

Does this fix the problems many face when going SPOA?
If so, top job, hopefully we will be seeing far less dodgy Z links.
Well done sean! Cheap as chips

correct me if im wrong, but sj50 - NT therefore handbrake is on tcase.
Your drums look NT also, no cable entering for handbrake like later SJ70 (WT) models.

where abouts in tasmania are you. I have a red 92 hardtop that needs disappearing. pm me. (not an ad as its not for sale and there is no price )

ditto.
