do you have a steelmasters branch in your area ? they are quite likely to have them/can get them/ can get them made even

yes you are correct, on a mono tube the high pressure nitrogen is seperated by a piston but on a twin tube it pressurises directly onto the oil by the looks

Thats awesome ! . to re gas em fit tyre valve type fitting to tube and pump up with nitrogen (inert) after re oiling ? what you reckon ? ive got a full spare set of shocks from daily to try this out on

can i be ultra cheap and re-oil shocks with a slightly heaver weight oil (ie a 40weight) i guess i can drill, drain, tap and plug, and refill them to gain some more shock compression resistance? or is it far too gash ?

sanding them takes a lil sand and try and repeat. and if you over sand you can always build them up with some solder and a lil propane torch.

ive got some metalset - which is awesome 2 pack epoxy stuff have fixed fueltanks, flogged out brackets and even mufflers over the years not the greatest for load bearing threads thou

thats 520 lb per foot. not lb per inch

semi auto Trans will take Castrol TQ95 , dry fill 4.2 L

Chur, thats a great answer . van im looking at has 8.5's and 9.5's on it currently ... with 215 50 17's all round . looks a bit too stretch for my liking or for heavy loading/northland roads/deewuns etc

You were too busy eating a pie , ok so whats the answer to my question vehicular is nissan largo 4wd fronts 225 45 17's rears 255 40 17's 0.24% difference in circ. equates to 2.4m difference in travel per 1000m

Whats the go with running different width tyres on a full time 4wd vehicle - , just wondering what % different rolling diameter is ok before the centre diff gets unhappy (open centre diff - difference calculated at 0.5% to 0.9% depending on wheel options) edit - found a staggered wheel option that will allow 0.24% rolling difference

chuck the speedo sender gear off the 4 speed into the 5 speed and u'll be all smiles

have you considered a transverse leaf IRS subframe from nissan serena/other gayvan for the back end ? might be able to get it lower ? diesel diff is a 3.6 from memory. is drum too in 5x114 too I'll have to pop over for a squizz sometime.

I had a kit, it was a CDT one, had a log manifold, inlet manifold, t04 turbo, 2" SU carb, water injection. was fairly ag-spec by todays standards. also had decompression plate. turbo had no wastegate, but there was provision for one to be put on the manifold (which was split pulse)

check the alternator case is well earthed to motor and chassis. (and the engine/chassis earth lead isnt kaput)

My repair still works after a year but yes its fiddlely to do. getting the preload right was the hard part

if its the same as a corona one you can macgyver fix em for about $8 and a few odds and sodds (bike cable inner, crimps, bolt, glue, bit of alloy etc)

Am looking a mid 90's paj with a 4m40 2.8 turbo , I hear these things are ticking time bombs in the engine department, does anyone know what fails on them ? (cause and effect)

Avon do a 245 40 15 if that is any help.

What about the rear seatbelts?

I see your project is coming into action ! hope you gonna channel the body somewhat. wires? widened steels ? Some Inspiration

What is the go with putting copper sealant on steel head gaskets (multi layer) ? does it have to be done , advantages etc (obviously both surfaces will be surgically clean and flat, and block threads cleaned.)

Matt, have a look under the boot on the slave on the left and see if there is any corrosion. one side may have siezed

Fix that case / Put bigger cam in now please.

Id say the impellor has fallen off your water pump.
