Hi guys heres a little update, i didnt get much done as i was helping a mate sort his car out (he bent his front diff).

Anyway i managed to get the old block and gearbox/transfer siting in for the output flange angles.

I was running out of time so i did a quick bodjy job and put the front diff in SOA just so it can be wheeled around easier now that the engine is in.

Hehe a super quick 10 min front SOA comprising of only 2 holes hahaaha (remember its super temporary!)

Z()LTAN · 09-20-07, 08:18 AM

Got some new stuff comin my way now

Chyro Longfeild CVs
Chryo Hub gears
4.88 chryo ring and pinion (front and rear)
Front and rear full Detroit lockers with solid inners
Fully rebuilt into my old housings with new bearings and seals
High steer with chrome molly rock rods.

Thats another whack to the budget..

Some more movement.

Your going to be stuck in there during summer if you dont go like crazy

Is that the old 1HZ that Kon was supposed to get?

What did Westralia springs charge for the leaf packs?

Yeah but kon wants an 80 series now so its basically spare parts now

Westralia wacked me $1200 for 2x fronts 2x rears and all bushes

Z()LTAN · 09-22-07, 02:26 AM

Ive just completed the hardest part of a spring over for a 75 series.

That bloody square banjo housing... it almost broke me, but i won in the end

Getting everything absolutely perfect to the mm and deg so i dont crab down the road.

not easy...

roscoFJ73 · 09-22-07, 05:05 AM

Are you happy with that shackle angle? Looks like it should be more vertical to me and when you load some weight on it ,it will be worse.

With the hi steer,can you still use the old pitman arm?

Ditto ... I thought ou need to move it 2" backward..

Z()LTAN · 09-22-07, 07:54 PM

im changing all the shackle angles when i weight the chassis

Z()LTAN · 10-06-07, 08:04 AM

Not a big update but an update never the less...

I got the Front and Rear diffs in their perfect positions.
Ive taken the centers out to be rebuilt with 4.88s and detroit lockers

Next i have to laminate and truss the housings, make new ubolt flip plates, try and sort out the front and rear shock positions, clean everything up for painting and then squirt some paint on her...

Im sure there is alot more i have forgotten to do but eh....

Z()LTAN · 10-12-07, 03:01 AM

my new $10 shock hoops

Z()LTAN · 10-13-07, 01:58 AM

Its Saturday so another update is due.

Ive made some new longer anti inversion shackles, they look very similar to a certain superior shackle

Welded the perches on
I trussed the front diff and cut the knuckles for the C&T later on
Extended the breather through the truss (ill cut it flush and tap a fitting into it later)

Tested my departure angle (with small tires mind you...)

Removed the tranni and transfer and sent out for exchange.

Z()LTAN · 10-13-07, 01:58 AM

Z()LTAN · 10-22-07, 05:46 AM

Alrighty then another update.
I don't have a Digital camera at the moment so i have no pix but this is what ive done.

I stripped the chassis bare
Spent hours prepping to paint
Painted 2 coats of 2 pack etching primer
Waited a day and painted 2 coats of High gloss 2 pack black
Painted all the odd bits like the shackles and fuel tank and brackets ive made.
Trussed the rear diff housing
Made u bolt flip plates
Started making sliders/sidesteps
Bought and picked up my new gearbox and transfer with chrome molly idler shafts

Somewhere in amongst all that i fitted a 2" body lift and 3" coil lift to my mates shorty patrol.

Hopefully get pix later this week

Cheers

Z()LTAN · 10-23-07, 05:02 AM

Z()LTAN · 11-12-07, 03:17 AM
