  1. Ok took the car in to get the SAS done. Then i get a call the next day saying that i cant be fixed.

    And the reason for that is the chasis is snaped in half. They couldnt belive that

    1. It didnt fall appart from me driving it

    and 2. pedders never picked it up when they did thier report.

     

    So now that is it. No more can be done for her. I now have to try and ring my insurance company and see if i can make a claim

  2. Ok without going into it the best option for fixxing my 91 pathy is a SAS. I did try and do a search on here but couldnt find much i wanted.

    I have no knowledge so i will be paying for someone to do it all. So what i mainly want to know is what would be the best axle to swap it with??

  3. ok heres the right up and the price in AU dollars

     

    Frount shocks $210

    Swaybar link bush $19

    Swaybar D bush $30

    Welding to chasis (where things have worn through) $241

    Radius rod bush $70

    control arm bushes $371

    Rear shocks $350

    Rear springs $199

    Panhard rod bush $39

    Draglink $440

    Diff mount suport bar $1139

    Fitting $847

    Alignment $55

     

    tottal $4141

  4. ok took it into a suspension place today and EVERY bushing is shot. but thats not the bad news my frount diff support bar it broken and that will cost $1400 just for the part. all my suspension is rooted including torsion bar.

    All up the damadge report is just over $4000 :(:(

     

    So i am gonna have to sell her off for parts and get another truck.

    This time i aint getting a bloody import :(:(:(

  5. ok here is what i have managed to break

     

    bolt.jpg

     

     

    The bolt u see should be extended to where i have drawn it in (but as you can see i snapped it). And it should pull the centrelink down.

    Would this cause the tire to be slightly pigieon toed

  6. did some heavy 4x4ing on the weekend and heard a creak in the frount end. Got out and had a look for posible broken tie rod. All was good so i got back in the car. On the way home i took a corner to quick and heard a snap. Got out and i saw the right hand tire on a mega lean. But to my suprise it wasnt the tie rod but the bolt that conects the centre link to main suspension thingy had been sheared(technical term).Will all i need be a new bolt and all the bushes.

    Is it worth taking it into a suspension shop as all my other bushes are shot anyways. Get them to do it all at once

  7. ok have saved up a fair bit of $$$$ but dont know how to spend it.

    I have got $1700 AU and heres what im thinking of getting.

    First of all my frount suspension is shot. i mean really shot. i cant even go over a speed hump without the tyres rubbing.

    so i have been thinking about either

    1. getting a locker installed then a 2 inch body lift so that the tyres dont rub till i can afford better shocks cost $1700

    2. getting some long travel ranchos and putting in a intercoller $1500

    3. getting some cheap frount shocks and doing the intercooler and a few other things like tinting the car and stuff

     

    what do you reckon would be my best option

  8. yeah maybe in the future IS will be beter but right now way to many problems occur because of it.

    ANd no-body has said after how much boddy lift u have to replace the steering shaft

  9. Man i knew that the nissans frount end suck and all but now i really hate them for it.

    After reading this topic i am serisosly considering selling my truck and getting a car with a Solid axle there is just far to much money involved lifting these damn things. I would mind so much if i lived in the states then i would have access to all the after market parts but living in Australia the price with shipping and all blows way out of my budget.

     

    After how much body lift do you have to adjust your steering shaft.

    I was about to buy some 2ich blocks this weekend but if i have to adjust the steering i might just pay for someone to do it

  10. hey guys sorry to pester you agian. Got everything i need to do a basic service to my car colant,oil,oil filter, fuel filter.

    And was wondering if any one could give us basic adivice to do a service. Have never done one to any car before so i dont really know what im doing. I went to get a car manual but they dont make one for the turbo desiels.

    any advice would really be appreciated :)
