The guy driving the bobed diso is an Aussie named Norman Hall, in the USA at the National Land Rover Rally, the obstical known as the Crack. yeah that's from moab... http://www.solihullsociety.org/pages/rally/2004/2004-09-15/goldenspike/2004-09-15-golden.htm http://207.44.162.36/solihullsociety.org ...

i see you saw my post over on dweb

thor you have any other pics of that one? i was considering doing a bob but also have considered just chopping it off right behind the rear seats to ditch any sort of custom glass.

yeah that's what it seemed like brent.
but the question would be if you could fit the 37-spline into a h233 housing...

Wendle wrote:yeah, maybe. i think there is more to this though.. maybe the old h260 hemisphere will take a h233 ring gear or some shit.. i dunno??

wendle, when you say hemisphere what are you talking about? the mounting area where the 3rd member bolts up?

[sorry guys the center i destroyed was h260 with lockright installed the one im now running is h233 witch is a 4 pinion.and both h233 and h260 are 31 spline. Wait, am I reading this right? There were 31-spline H260s? That's a pretty small shaft for what is otherwise a heavy-duty axle isn't it? And ...

just thinking about it, when you slide the h233 carrier into the housing, there is no way whatsoever that a ring gear 27mm bigger would fit into the hole?? i'm confused yeah that is what i was wondering today. that is a good amount more stuff to fit in there...i know to fit cruiser diffs in my 8" i ...

Wendle wrote:the MQ ones may use the same housings...

does this have anything to do with the fact that it can coem with a h233 rear housing and not a h233b?
i just noticed that off the spec sheet you emailed me...it's the only one listed without the b...

gah, thanks a lot brent, now more to consider. but if you can make it fit there really isn't anything to consider...37-spline 1.51" shaft vs. 33-spline 1.31" shaft thanks a lot for that spec sheet wendle. my original plan was to only use 33-spline carriers for a bit more strenght. so wendle you ...

yeah i figured that you were brent
when you were talking about your project i figured you would have found your way to this board...

the GU front is also high pinion, so you'd end up needing the whole carrier, which goes against what you are trying to achieve with availability? a high pinion turned upsidedown might help with any sump/chassis clearance problems created by the portals though?? yeah that a problem. also because i ...

you can get a 3.5 but its a front only. 3.9 4.1 4.3 4.6 4.8 aftermarket what do you mean by front only? i thought the h233 was used in the front as well? i assumed it was like a Toy 8" being that you could swap 3rds between front and rear... 3.5s are fitted to GU (y61) patrols fitted with 4.8 litre ...

cool thanks wendle... no pics yet, i was trying to find out if the gear ratios could go any lower than what we have over here before I started the actual build. I'm basically going to take the center portion of a h233, retube it, and fit the portal boxes to the ends. my only real hurdle will ...

Alright, I'm in the process of designing custom axles using a 33-spline h233 3rd and 404 portal boxes. The problem is over here in the US the lowest gearing we have is ~4.3 for the diff. Do the patrols come in a lower gearing? I'm looking for something like a mid to high 3.xx at the most. If they do ...

great they're all all following me over

thanks for the link big red...i'll have to shoot them an email and pick their brains a little

my tranny is shot, and a couple of my buddies are going too. it seems to be hit or miss with them over here though. yeah you guys got the better engine... the d44 is a option, but, i'm left without any respectable gearing options keeping it drivers side. there's nothing for wd21s in that respect. by ...

Don't know actual weight, but the size and weight would be easily half again as big as the toyota pick-up stuff. i was actually planning on trying to make a dual case adaptor for pathfinders until i stumbled onto the patrol stuff. so the patrol stuff is smaller than yota pickup stuff? am i ...

i used to own a terrano and its gearbox and transfer is tiny compared to the patrol. you have some crazy ideas. hope they work out. too much of a headfawk for me to think about at the moment. oh ok that cleared it up, thanks... but when there's no options for your nissan you have to think up stupid ...

i was about to say, that'll be like a $50 phone call for me.

how much do the patrol tcases themselves weigh?
about how much larger is the patrol tranny/tcase compared to a terrano combo?

lol, well that idea was shot down quick, thanks for clearing that up though

how much do you guys pay for the aftermarket gears? and is there a dual case adaptor for them?

alright i found out today that later model patrols came stock with 3.76:1 in the tcase. this caught my interest because patrols are passenger side drop, opposite of my dd pathfinder. reason why it is of interest to me is because my original plan was to swap fj-80s for my 8"s in my yota. the next ...
