No, a guy drives it, and i'm from Chile, south america

MKPatrolGuy wrote:I was speaking to Cheezy yesterday, he had the Mav on the Dyno and with jets that were too small it still pulled over 800Nm of torque and I think it was around 385kW at the rear wheels. .

What engine does he have? last time i saw that Nissan in Four Wheeler magazine said it has a 383 small block, is the same engine?

still a small block , but out to 403 cubes now !!!!!!
alloy heads , twin GAS RESEARCH carbs !!!!
lots a MUMBO !!!!!!

The guy who dyno'd it does sprint cars and all sorts of race cars, apparently he had it at about 5500rpm and gave the throttle a stab and it tried to launch off the rollers, he recons they don't normally do that.

Don't know about being ‘tough’ or ‘inspirational’ but here is my GQ — gets me around with a little touring and 4Bing in between.

And another...

ur second pic is very nice, what lift u running?

I had the coils made up about 5 years ago to give a 7 inch lift, I figure that it is around a 6 inch lift now. There is also a 3-inch body lift and 35" tyres.

overkill. what about some 37" rubber soon? or even 38?

Nah, couldn’t be bothered going through the rigmarole of re-doing my engineers certificate. Besides, it goes pretty well off road as is and gets lots of road use in between, I can’t be bothered wheel swapping for off road so I will drive it as is.
I figure it will never be a rock buggy so why try to make it one — as is it is a good all round compromise, on road, off road, touring 4B.

here's a japanese one, actually looks half decent

The front flex's nice, has it got a 5link or is it the standard 3link with caster plates???

john runs stock radius arms with the front passenger side bolt ditched for a quick release pin.

it is a very tidy truck.

Yep, what Wendle said...
It allows me to drive on-road with the front end restricted by the sock arms. Off-road I pop the pin and it flexes like a five link. Works well on a 'daily driver' when combined with a quick release rear sway-bar.

Sounds like it works well, it doesnt bind when the car flexs in the other direction. I was thinking of getting another radius arm and and cutting it in half and putting a pivot in it with a quick release pin, like the one on the D90 (landrover) site. It looks like it could have potential. Just need to speak to an auto engineer to see if this would pass though.

won't make much difference. the bind is caused by the arms trying to corkscrew the axle.

the bar work is "interesting"...

There is no binding in either direction on my rig but my castor plates are welded on, not bolted, so there is no bolt in the way to foul the radius arm on the left side. I use rubber bushings, pollyeurathane ones restrict flex and travel.
The diff is also braced accross the top for extra strength. Don't know what an engineer would think about my 'off-road set up' but they dont have to know about it. On road it is just a stock radius arm set up. I tend to crawl when off-road, if you crash and bash this may not be the way to go.

Forgot about the castor plates, as was thinking on my set up with only 2"susp lift on a swb. The front of the radius arm would hit the axle (if front bolt removed or rear of axle if rear bolt removed).
So removing a bolt for me wouldn't be all that effective, where as the pivoting arm doesn't have that prob.
As this is a modified arm it would need to be engineered for the on-road driving (it's a DD). Off-road I wouldn't really care as long as I know the welding has been done properly (old man is a boiler making - so should be able to weld such things).
