its not heavy. two people can pick up the chassis fairly easy.

I will get some more pics with the engine in tomorrow.

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 5:12 pm**

So what are the specs going to be. Engine/gearbox/transfer/axles/body??

Sam

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 5:24 pm**

engine is going to be the mighty 3B with a turbo, stock gearbox and a set of gears for the tcase.
Axles will be rockwells 4 wheel steer, if they ever get here!!!! Full hydraulic steering. Coil overs. I will be running 20 inch rims and 14.00r20 michelins.

Links will be double A- frame front and rear. Same as what slinky uses in the rear. The bottom A-frame for the front and rear will mount up to the bolt in crossmember in the pic. Gearbox mount is also on the crossmember.

I have the lifted the engine and trans to give more clearance for front upper A-frame and also gives a flat bottom. I want to run the chassis as low as i can as well.

Body will be just the cruiser firwall and bonnet and tube everything esle.

how much shorter is the chassis?

what wheel base?

NICK

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 6:57 pm**

the chassis is cut off at the rear t/case output.

I am going put the wheel base at about 105-110.

Just an aside.... What is the wheelbase of a coil cab nissan patrol?

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 7:03 pm**

i think the nissan is 108 and the wagons are 112, but im not 100% on that.

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 7:05 pm**

Coil cab Nissan are 118 the same as a LWB.

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 7:08 pm**

thanks.

I want to keep mine shorter than the lwb patrols and 80 series, but longer than a shorty

Posted: **Fri Dec 27, 2002 7:12 pm**

i was going to say that but it didnt sound right, now that i think about it some more Ruff was 118 and i remember him and BJ have the nissan wheel base discussion about the steps and how it was a wheel base thing.

I was going to ask what you are going to do for brakes but I guess you will run the stock drums with the 20in wheels??

Sam

Posted: **Sat Dec 28, 2002 8:48 am**

Sounds like its going to be a weapon!

How much did you pay for the Rockwells :?:

Posted: **Sat Dec 28, 2002 11:08 am**

brakes. i am going to run wheel discs. I will run the hubs flipped out but with heaps of backspace, about 8 inch or so on a 10 inch rim.

So you are running tube from there back??

What wheel base you thinking of running??

Sam

Posted: **Sun Dec 29, 2002 10:38 am**

yeah tube from there back. only a loop back to hang the coil overs from and with some stays coming back from the rear main hoop of the cage to support it.

Wheelbase, around 105-110 inches.

i am just dropping the body on it at the moment, just up for a quick feed!

I will post some pics with the body on later.
