If you use the right type of bar (size) for the joints you are using then there is no welding anyway. The ones I'm building will just be threaded and then use a lock nut.

Also the turbo drain should be above the oil level. So I'd say they have put it to low in the sump as well.

PS Amazing how a public forum like this can be a huge benefit when people just state the facts!

Just get any wrecking on NZ to send one over. We have more auto TD42 here than anything else.

Hey mate, The overdrive issue could be related to this new issue but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with your ECU. The GQ I just just did up and sold had lots of auto problems. Originally it had the issue you have at the moment, The problem is that your torque converter is slipping due to a ...

Pathfinders run a 31spline H233b diff with lsd and with small mods fits the front of a patrol.

DON'T drive it anymore. The filter is getting blocked up and means no oil gets to the gearset so it will melt causing complete trans failure and complete rebuild. If you are lucky you have caught it in time so will be a relativly cheap fix. But still likely to be a couple K to replace frictions etc ...

I'd just get TD42 tanks and get them swapped to the core you have. That way get it cleaned inside while you're at it.

Yeah, it is in under the lh engine mount. Remove the engine mount and grind a bit of the web, then you can use a straight fitting out of the block. That is all there is too it!

Is that up to desert race spec or normal use?
I'm thinking seriously about going to t400 and increasing hp to around 350rwkw. Powers available so I figure now is the time to change the trans as that is my restriction.

That's what I'm using in the radius arms of my new truck.

Simple equation. The best 24v motor is the 7.8hp 24v Superduty. The best 12v motor is the 6hp Warn motor. The 7.8hp 12v Superduty motors are good but the Warn motor is better. From what I've seen the 12v Superduty with 24v would be a handgrenade! I've run 24v Superduty motors for a long time ie I ...

The difference between the old 2.5hp motor and a 6hp is night and day! We changed one last year and the difference is quite amazing.

With that much hp offroad you just don't need the gears. My old truck which had 375rwhp 4.1 diff and Patrol manualised auto (sort of!), would change and it made no difference to acceleration. The big thing with manual auto is you never need to take your foot of the gas so they just keep going. My ...

I wasn't thinking about the axle articulating so you are completely correct. I also didn't understand what you meant with statement about 'A' frame causing sideways movement being due to distance between the mount and the driveshaft. The full explantion makes it quite clear that what you were saying ...

water to air, the size it would need to be to outperform a good air to air wouldnt fit under the bonnet...... We have done afew cc4x4 cruiser 1hdt units, and the product seems to be ok. ??? But a water to air is smaller than air to air for the same cooling capacity. (excluding radiator pumps etc ...

With the stock patrol suspension the axle rolls about a theoretical fixed point on the panhard rod at the centreline of the vehicle. If you change to a A-frame, the panhard has to be removed and the axle rolls about the pivot at the axle end of the A-frame. The described fixed point is called the ...

hey how many companies make 12'' shocks and who are they? i know bilstein does. im looking to upgrade. cheers 12" is a common run of the mill size shock so everyone from Munroe through Bilstien, Fox, King etc and everyone in between has a 12" travel shock. Are you talking standard emulsion, coil ...

I've run mechanical and Stuans. Stauns take more maintenance BUT if you do this maintenance then they are very good. Lighter and they also increase stability at low pressures by reducing sidewall flex. I found with the same tyres on the same truck we could run a lower pressure with the same control ...

-twin motors 1k where do you buy these from? make the adaptor yourselfH 7.8hp motors are not free. from my understanding 7.8's are no good piggy backed as they destroy themselves. The 24v 7.8 Superduty motors would quite easily be the best 24v motor for winch comps. And as Wazza made the first ...

I've got a mate in NZ (Rotorua) who does the pumps and his normal price is NZ$2k. He does the pumps for most of the guys over here doing winch comps so you are getting ripped at $3k! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Nissan/Accessories/auction-276126535.htm But if ...

The more you compress the suspension the less the shocks work so as it leans in a corner the shocks will provide less dampening. You need to get the shocks more upright so they work correctly and also the wider the spring the better it will corner. When cornering the wheel rate is calculated taking ...

3l surge tank with a lift pump feeding it so it constantly overflows back to the main tank.
Bosch 044 motorsport pump with return to the surge tank.
That will handle an easy 600hp and is what I use.

That's sweet. It is funny how with suspension the more you learn, the more you realise you have more to learn! And everything is a compromise! But i will argue that an 'A' frame can't work. If designed properly it can work and in some cases a 4 link is not an option so an 'A' is the only way to do ...

Use a short section of bent pipe instead of the eye bolt. ie about 100mm long. That way you have a curved surface to spread the load and not kink the rope but is still very compact.
I did this on my first mid-mount winch and it worked really well.

I just wanted to know whats the best flexing set up. And where to find the link calculator? It's very important to know the reason why you want flex. Flex alone will not help you if the geometry of the suspension is incorrect. Like wise, the link calculator will not help you determine the geometry ...

I like the build kond :armsup: looks impressive but with the panhard chassis mount up so high it will handle like poo on the back . chop the panhard bracket off and lower the chassis bracket so the bar is almost level. cheers lukey im honestly curious - is it better for the panhard to be almost ...

Average AC pump is about 3hp or 2.2kw. Which in 12v will take 183amps to run and 24v 91amps. (assuming no losses) This is winch/starter motor territory and there are system of the shelf you can buy. http://oasismfg.thomasnet.com/viewitems/air-compressors/xd4000-continuous-duty-air-compressors ...
