hot off the press MK DIFFS

Post by **Spartacus** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 7:05 pm

it has become apparent to myself after measureing many many many
times that the leaf perches from a nissan mK/Q front diff seem to
be verrrry close to lining up

my measurements:

Nissan
distance between mounts.= 675mm
distance from centre........= 337.5

ROCKY
distance between mounts.= 680
distance from centre........= 340

measured roughly with a tape while rocky diffs still on car...however
1.25mm difference seems plausible for swap...

can anyone pull better measurments on the rocky... i dont have a manual handy.

From the topic of this thread, I thought youve completed the swap.

Post by **Spartacus** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 8:43 pm

i got as far as removing the rear perches till it rained, got sick, and front was gettin rusty.

the reason i posted was to verify i had correct rocky measuerments
so others may have future reference should they investigate mk/mq diff
swap later on...

If it goes all well might change my rocky diffs to MK ones

, I wonder if my husband will notice his missing out of his MK

for times like these i wish there was a suck this emoticon so

and

will have to suffice.....

nissan mq patrol C200 front diff slotted straight in.

The pumpkin misses the sump barely just, didnt look hard.
need to get new ubolts n plate made since diff is approx 4" dia
and hook up brake lines to nissan ones.

currently providing around 2" track increase with 31s. theres no pics
cause its just remove and replace operation.

more as week comes by

CHeers.

go to a place called driveline services in Brendale mate for the shafts. Ask for Alan James

That place/ guy was the best service I have EVER received bar none so I'm always happy to pimp them

Tell him a very happy customer referred you

Ps take any parts you have spare like flanges/ u joints, it'll keep the cost down heaps

latest problem is i got parabolics in front which only 2 leaves n nissan
ubolts made for a 4/5 pack. so i need to fab up a 35mm spacer to sit underneath the spring pack temporarily till i get new susp.

Post by **Spartacus** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 8:15 pm

placed 100x55x25mm RHS (3mm) in between leafs n plate.

Post by **flynn** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 10:11 pm

Post by **Spartacus** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 10:18 pm

got the rear in tonight with 33x12.5 (thanx will) on 15x10.... sticks
outside guards 3.5" EITHER SIDE

_______ GOT WIDTH????

need to bolt back together and work out what to use for brakelines on the
diff.
can i use braided lines along the diff where it screws into the drum?

Post by **Spartacus** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 4:18 pm

alrighty.... the story so far:

as it turns out rear drivshaft 15mm too long so once drivable
with working brakes, its goin down to superior engineer to suss out
steering COILS, SPOA or custom springs SUA.

so just lettin u all now its almost done and 90% of parts are reusable

cheers
