SAS on Pathfinder

Post by yorgerg »

Hey, i'm contemplating doing a SAS on my 90 model d21 pathy.
Got a few Q's about it.

Been looking for kits, all i can find is leaf sprung kits, does anyone know if there are coil sprung kits available, or is it custom all the way.

Next Q is, what sort of donor axle do you think would be ideal, diff would need to be on passenger side to align with the rest of the car. In the US a lot of conversions have been done with the dana 44 axle, are they available in Oz.

Would like to stay nissan if possible.

Jeeps would be the first place to look I'd imagine.

Possibly also hilux?

Yeah i've had a look at some of the rigs on NPORA and your right, they are wild :crazyeyes:

its partly to blame for this idea. :oops:

Now, flipping a GQ housing and rewelding on the coil perch's, how feasable does anyone think this idea is, as i said, i'd like to stay nissan unless i absolutely have to.

Consider the track differences.

They use bundy diffs for the hilux sas ??? should be about the same track but no idea if everything else would line up. Lots of ratios to choose from as well

Well i was thinking about swapping out the rear as well in favour of a GQ, its already coil sprung in the rear.

the track diff' shouldn't be too bad, i'll have to change offset rims though, currently running the tojo rims to get a bit of extra width.

is vsick's build up posted anywhere, i've seen many references but haven't actually come across it yet.

I used a MQ/MK front diff (rotated). They are the same width as the pathy and they share the same ratios too. PM me for more info.
