Outer Limits 4x4 Board

well my mnate has just got a pathfinder... (dont know why) and he wants to know what sort of basic mods he can do to it. he doesnt wheel much just every now and then when i get stuck.

so what size tyres can he fit with it being stock?
can you lift these?
more power (its got that 2.4 petrol motor)
and can you get snorkls for them?

thanks.

Maximum size tyres for a stock Pathy is 31x10.5R15.
If he looks on his tyre stamp it should have that size on there anyways so they are legal to have as well.
He can lift and inch or so easy enough...slightly taller springs in the back and wind up the torsion bars on the front to compensate.
If he wants to got to 32s he will need three inch lift. 33s need 6 inch lift.
I would suggest a body lift if he doesn't do too much wheelin. The reason I say this is when you go a suspension lift it stuffs around with the steering and you tend to bend tie rods and idler arms easy. Although if he stick with 31s he won't have a problem.
You can get snorkels for the D21 series diesel navara. As long as the air intake for the 2.4L is on the same side I see no reason why that snorkel wouldn't fit your mates truck. I have the navara snorkel on my terrano. ARB said it wouldn't fit but I told them to do it anyway and surprise surprise it fits perfectly

As said before, 31's on a 7" wheel will fit with no problem. Get some new coils for the rear and crank the t-bars to get about 2" of lift and he can run 235/85-16 on a 6-7" wheel with some minor trimming in the front. The best you could do for the steering is throw it as far as you could and replace it with the Calmini steering. The Calmini steering is bullet proof. I race my '89 V6 with this setup, no probs.

The "key" Calmini gear is only able to fit L/H drive cars. eg. Idler arm brace and drag link etc.

Best throw the front end out and put in a live axle.

pfft.
oh look at me...i'm soo good...i have an SAS.
i am torn between an engine swap and an SAS v6...what to do, what to do.

Live axle first Justin.

but 200+KWs of V8 goodnesssss
then again it isn't much good if you can't steer it i suppose
hrm...might be time to go talk to a well respected OL over here.
I suppose with the live axle I will have better clearance for the oil sump as well

You're right ! I always forget you guys drive on the wrong side of the road

Hey there Exodus_68 - is yours a terrano II or the first series?? I am trying to track down a snorkel for mine - 1997 Terrano II petrol.
