I have 4l of chocolate brown, but was going to paint RX3UTE that colour. also considering doing this one in the brown and hit RX3UTE with it’s original lemon yellow again. or considered a baby blue on this one.

waspman Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 You could always add in the Karere stripes, this was the factory supplied diagram on how to apply them, from memory they also rolled white steel rims 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb drifter Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 This is interesting seeing this ute thread! My boss was telling me about the original yellow rx3 ute and i had heard from others about it too. I'll have to show him the pics we were all wondering where it got to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Can you buy drop spindles? That wound take you down to 30mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuzz Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I bet AirRide NZ would have spindles for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Is it top or bottom ball joint that has run out of travel? Side note, going from 6 stud to 4 is likely going to be problematic for cert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 It’s the top ball joint that is the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXFORD Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I believe drop spindles started from the next shape - '85 onwards. There may be a way to convert by swapping balljoints/tierods to suit the later spindle but that would be getting into design approval territory with geometry changes I would think. Like I said on the Mtnz page, pie-cutting the upper arm has always been a thing, but I havn't had to get any through cert for many years, so unsure what the reinforcement criteria would be nowadays. If you want to Pm me I can dig out some pics of how its done. Even if you just do it for now to get you laying so you can build the bag mounts, then figure out the legalities later on down the track.
