For medium - hard wheeling. what would people rather?

Post by **Gwagensteve** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 9:42 pm

NT LWB with WT diffs.

But you're in Sydney- you can find WT LWB's as Ateco imported them. Only NSW could buy them.

i understand nt with wt diffs would be the most desirable. we were talking about this at work today with mixed results. i was more curious then anything else what everyone thought.

if you had to choose between a lwb nt or swb wt...what would you prefer..?

If boxed into a corner, NT LWB.

Actually the NT is better in mud and with the advantage on climbs of the LWB it's not a bad package, just falls over all the time.

Definately the NT LWB But as said previously With WT Diffs and I think you'll find this is the general concencis from most on here and your poll already shows of this

Ateco might have been the only state distributor to import the LWB W/T but still like rocking horse poo to find today. Nearly as hard to find as a W/T hi roof.

The LWB N/T with W/T is the GO. I've been offered good money for mine but will die with it.

SWB.

makes the medium tracks hard, & the hard tracks extreme.

HRMM, my WT LWB was (allegedly) initially bought in SA...(makes me wonder how much of the cars "History" i can trust.)

I would be thinking the best answer for this would be WT Shorty, with wheelbase extended...

As it's been said I think NT LWB with WT diffs. Realistically neither are ideal standard. LWB NT need WT diffs and SWB WT needs a wheelbase extension. But in the end the LWB will end up the better rig with more space to store stuff.

NT LWB 1.0 litres rule

Post by **Pyrotech** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 10:37 am

Slightly off topic, and hopfully i can help me Gwagon.

if i have a LWB NT chassis, will my WT bodt fit on? and by this i mean will the body mounts line up? or will i need to make new ones?

If your WT is a LWB body or you stretch it to suit it will bolt straight on IF the chassis is a 1.3.
If the chassis is a One litre then the only mounts that line up properly are the ones each side of the radiator.
Mine is a 1.0 chassis with a 1.3 body and it wasn't real hard to redrill the holes in the chassis.. The rubbers cover up the old holes so nobody would know once bolted together.

ok kool so what your saying is the holes are only out by bugger all and can just be redrilled in the chassis to suit the body?

Well im a NT fan, my brother and i both have started building zuki's... mine is a NT with 33x12.5 with front locker. Brothers is a WT with 33x10.5, front locker also an with f100 offset rims. there is no question what one wants to fall over first ( MINE!!) both are spoa... in the mud mine will out do his but for crawling his is much easyer than mine....Its easyer for me to jump out of ruts, but he can also with out near tipping it lol.... all down to driver

LWB NT is where its at!

although if i could find some cheap, non crap looking flares (or even standard flares) i would swap in some 3.9'd WT diffs.
