Ca43 is an interesting diff code, normally would be he or hf43 etc. If it turns out it's h190 I have a 4.1 but you'll probably want a 3.9 or 3.7. I'll do a bit of hunting for you

[Snoozin]

I would fucking love a 3.9 H190. LOVE.

[CaMpylobacter]

Chur Mr Teler!

CaM this has struts in the front, and rear leafs that have sagged towing those cage water tanks around so much the load compensators are compressed/bent lol

 

fair enough then

 

also, remove overlaoders, call it sorted, cut fronts to match amirite?

[CaMpylobacter]

also +1 Jpipe w. t25 or similar. 

doit.

[Raizer]

Yeah will pull them out and see how far it drops it, but I need to find some spare fronts before I go cutting anything!!

Any of you guys got hook ups on Nissan genuine parts?   Tridon have changed all there RD28 listings to the $60-70 "high performance, high flow" thermostats, and I've got no idea what the standard one's part number was.

Nissan here has told me $46 for a genuine, but even that seems a bit high for a thermostat to me      /Dutch?

 

Turbo needs to happen, but I want to tidy the rest of the car up first!

[HighLUX]

Being  nissan lego, im guessing that c33 or a31 springs would be the same/similar

[Raizer]

Yeah I was thinking c32 and possibly R31 would be likely candidates too

[coldturkey]

Breaking the window winder handle while resetting its position = step back.    (it dug into my knee when the window was right down or up)

 

Dude, I feel you pain. Drove all the way to Hanmer and back with the handle pwning me in the knee. Thanks for reminding me to adjust it before I go on the next roadie.

I do have one for sale if u so want

[brocky41]

I do have one for sale if u so want

Sorry is 4.1 atm

[Raizer]

Going to hopefully have the screen removed and refitted tomorrow, leaks like a sieve at the slightest bit of rain!

Hopefully getting some RCAs and lowering blocks made this week, still haven't found suitable front springs yet though.

 

Whats the deal with Nissan speedo drives, is there a range of drives you can swap around for different outputs?

Checked it with the GPS earlier and with the 185/82/R14s on there 50k on the speedo is pretty much bang on 50k on the GPS, I want to chuck this thing on something like 195/50/r15s but don't want the RUCs to go through the roof!!

 

/Considering swapping to a petrol engine as it looks like RUCs are going to be $60 every 2 weeks!

//Also considering changing just the odometer drive to a stepper motor like in Mikey's Z...

 

Edit: ok after a bit of reading it should be easy enough to get the speedo close to correct, depending on my diff ratio and if i can find the right drive gears.

Any ideas what a L20 powered P430 would have diff ratio wise?

[UTERUS]

Turbo is gonna blow your fucking mind into orbit.

[brocky41]

I thought this was cool,

Maybe with a turbo on the diesel you could cut the same time

[kicker]

Beaver you snake in the grass!

Dibs when you sell

[Beaver]

Rofl. I have to own it for at least 11 months and 10 days (wagnats 2017)

[johnnyfive]

Ah what, My bad.

 

Also, Nice! This thing is dope. 

[kyteler]

Sly ol' Beaves.

Have you any particular plans, my son?

[Beaver]

Wof, reg, roll (hopefully for nats but its a tight schedule between now and then)

 

Then low, wheels, few stlye improvements (steering wheel, shifter etc etc)

 

Nothing too outrageous.

 

Will keep an eye out for turbo bits for it (I dont even know if rb28t came out in NZ), then and wait for rd to blow and then chuck rb20 in it*

 

 

 

 

This may or may not happen

[Snoozin]

Boy oh boy some tridens would set this off.

Off the chain that is.

Neat.

The Patrol's are sometimes found with the RD28T. I keep the occasional eye out for one (not very often) but anything Patrol/Safari related is over-priced to fuckery.
