First let me introduce myself....I've been on the offroading world for the past 5 years, mostly with Land Rovers. These last few months, I saw the light, and after some research I decided to put Y61 axles on my Range Rover proto mostly since upgraded Landy axles will not hold more then 36" tyres without breaking. Quick look on ebay and got a pair of axles from a 2003 Patrol from the UK. Few weeks later and axles are now enjoying the sun in Malta
After a few considerations, and a new front ARB locker, I'm considering the idea of converting rear factory diff lock to air activation, in order to have a single system. Has this been done before or is there any writeups?
If any one has a problem with their Nissan Locker not engaging/disengaging or delays in these actions its caused by the factory Hitachi vacum Solenoid being faulty , the answer is to replace the solenoid with a MAC 12volt vacum solenoid made in the USA and supplied by Pneutech in Ringwood Melb , you will also need three nipples and a filter also suppleid by them , once fitted the Nissan Locker then engages /disengages almost instantly everytime , cost of approx $150 part # 45A-GC1-DDBA-1BA-M532F
we also took out the switch in the dash, and replaced it with a TJM lockers switch. So, both the TJM front locker, and the vac locker are side by side.
