  1. well its been a few months since i fit the lokka up. Still loving it. Thought my steering issues were related to the driveshaft angles, which has ended up being incorrect. Although it will allow the shafts to overrun on decent surfaces, it definitely has created a couple issues when i need to go from lock to lock in a very confined space. Its still absolutely farktonnes better than the standard diff, and definitely one of the best upgrades ive done on my girl, however once i throw the Dana at her, i will only be going E lockers front and rear. for the money, im still rating it as absolutely awesome.
  2. Should add, I worked in the industry and performed engine conversions for quite some time. I assessed my D21 for a LS2 swap before i decided on a KA24ET.. Reason for going KA24 in the end was because of cost.
  3. VH45DE was done down here (Australia) and came up for sale a while back in an R50. seemed a bit tight and old mate was after way too much for what it was. As for space, an LS is an easy doer. Marks 4x4 sell the adaptors for the transfer to the GM trans. Bellhousings are an easy swap to the LS from 304/308 if required. http://www.marks4wd.com/engine-conversions/transfer-case-adaptors/nissan/navara-pathfinder.html If you can shoehorn a 1UZFE in a hilux, and a VH45DE in a R50, you cannot tell me you will have space issues with a LS swap. Infact, if i could LS swap my FD3S RX7 with ample room, its an absolute no brainer for the D21/22/R50.
  4. How did you go about the transfer case? Looking at swapping tx10 with tx12 for my swap.
  5. Soooo. Being in the land down under, finding a dana44 is like finding rocking horse @!*%, however the h233b front can be found in every backyard if you dig deep enough. Instead of flipping the diff, I'd rather change the transfer over. I haven't been able to find any information on whether the tx10 is interchangeable with a tx12 transfer, hence I'm hoping someone will be able to share this info?
  6. After trawling through all possible sites I can think of, I'm having a hell of a time tracking down a z18/20/22/24 efi manifold in Australia. Are they available over there or am I chasing rocking horse poop?
  7. Know this is an old thread, but would like to add that my 1990 2 door does not have the captive nuts behind the indentations on rear panel. Just keep this in mind when doing the installation. I'll be cutting the top section out now,adding steel plate behind with captive nuts then rewelding the panel back on.
  8. well i have given her a hard time since and the lokka is absolutely amazing compared to standard. The only issue i have had is on very soft surfaces (sand) at low speed it hasnt allowed the driveshaft to overrun. My lift is also causing what feels like my CVs to bind on full lock and droop. Along with the 2wd steer swap and ALL new joints, its been a great improvement. Now i just need to do something about all the bent tie rods! (up to 4 now, in 2 trips.)
  9. Priced it all up. Thought stuff it and got 2wd parts on the way. Better design after all. And cheaper.
  10. Thanks. Will be doing the 2wd steering swap in the future. just fit a full new 4wd setup before i saw the 2wd swap. looks like im fabricating some anti bump steer ends!
  11. Done a bit of a search and cannot come up with an answer just yet. Are there any known anti bumpsteer tie rod ends available for the D21? Would be nice to be able to buy them off the shelf before i start fabbing stuff up and trying to get correct components to suit. Not a fan of the angle my ends are on on full dorr Thanks.
  12. 4.1:1 aye. That would be nice when I do the engine swap. Got my brother to send me a pic of my plate. She has 4.8s in her and should have the replacement diff turn up tomorrow. Thanks fellas.
  13. Yeah. Too easy. Thanks fellas. Just needed a bit of confirmation there are multiple ratios available for my model type or not. Looks like I'll have to get the replacement diff during the week instead of doing it today.
  14. Ran into a bit of an obsticle with my front diff lately. The crown wheel had a damaged tooth when I pulled her apart and fit my lokka. Seeing as it was still functional before hand (although not ideal) I decided to still fit the lokka and leave it for a couple months before replacing it. Issue is the lokka fitment must of upset her a little so she's locked up on the crown wheel and pinion. Without removing and counting my cw pin teeth and working out the gear ratio, is there a standard ratio fitted to the fronts? She's a 1990 2 door 5sp z24 with r180/h233b. Car is a bit away from me so hoping there is a simple way for me to work this out and get another diff before I get to the car next. I'm assuming it's the 4.3 seeing as that's the common one. Thanks.
  15. Engine swap. Vg30et will help you tow ? Is what I would be doing if I had the v6 model. Try towing with a z24. Would be lucky to tow a box trailer with a bag of cement in it. If your really not up for the headache of engine swaps, stick with what you got!
