how is 5" backspacing zero offset on a 9" wheel? wouldnt 4.5" be zero on a 9" wheel.???

i've only ridden in an auto pathy... i thought it sucked compared to a 5 speed... but then again i dont like autos (except for tow rigs)

if you keep the same backspacing the tire will be offset away from the car and you will have less tire extending past the rim on both sides so you will gain a little clearance on the inside.

was that loaded? just looked in my '85 FSM and the factory rev limiter is set at 6500 on the z31's not sure about the pathy specs.

sounds like your cam timing is retarded by one tooth or 5°

i know tons of guys that run welded rears on full sized and small pickups, none of them have problems with them. the only ppl that i ever hear negative things from are the ppl that dont have them. and as light as our rigs our i would say there would be no problem with binding, no more than a LSD or an LSD with xtra shims in it. driving on the street is going to put less stress on it than when you are crawling up a rocky hill with only one tire on the ground.

there is a spring loaded damper on the firewall, you have to bleed it first then the slave, go spend $40 and by a mity vac kit from autozone it comes with the brake bleeding jar. you wont regret it.

just weld the spiders up, you dont need a selectable in the rear. and once you drive one on the trail you'll never go back. and they're really not as bad on the street as all the ney sayers make them out to be.

that sounds right.... i knew it has something to do with the brakes or similar....

do you remember to feed your hamsters in the morning? they may be getting hungry after the initial cold jog on the wheel, or maybe the exercise wheel is worn out, sometimes they squeak when worn. i had to take my hamsters wheel away at night because they are nocturnal animals and the damn thing would run on his wheel all night long.

Kiel (sp?) just plug the f*cking thing, we dont have emmisions testing on this side of the mtn's plus it doest need it. if you need a hand bring it by and i'll weld the holes shut for you.

Its for the traction control system or load leveling, the 1st gen pathys had something like that, would have to look through the FSM to figure it out. when the rig is under a heavy load or acceleration the rear end squats and thus activates the switch...

youre joking right?

thanks

maybe the hamster has a limp?

i just picked up some universal poly bump stops, i'm going to put them in place of the missing bump stops that limit the down travel. does anybody know how short i need to trim them? i dont have the originals to measure from. the CV's bind and full droop and that makes for some scary driving ion the slick stuff.

water in the brake drums and/or the differential if the vent hose was broken

it must not be illegal in your state to drive off the roads (trails) ? even with snow on the ground in WA you cant drive off the green dot roads and designated jeep trails...

the only tranny that will bolt up to a nissan engine is a nissan tranny... period. unless you have an adapter made. but that defeats the purpose of trying to save money. if its a manual you're looking for get the 80's they are the same up until 95 IIRC. the autos IDK anything about (all autos are crap in my book)

its for impaling gringos that take to long crossing the road...

try astroglide or K-Y, you and your "engine" will enjoy it more

where are you buying your parts? are you greasing them? cv axles should take at least 100k+ miles unless the boots are torn. and the nissan ball joints usually last at least that, unless you dont grease them or drive like Ivan Stuart off road. my current pathy had 340k miles on it when i got it, and as far as i could tell it was all original nissan parts... p.s. your alignment guy is a retard and/or lazy

and dont go wheeling by yourself... the buddy system w/ a tow strap will get you out of almost any situation..

did any of the vehicles air down their tires? the guys that snow wheel around her run in way deeper snow and rarely get stuck, they all run bead locks and air down to around 5 psi...

hows the spring rate on the TJ coils?
