My right tire cannot drop as far becuase when only one side of the axle moves down the bracket binds on the shock.
Why don't you just flip the shocks? I know it will be harder to reach the adjuster, but I believe that's how they are supposed to be mounted. The body on those 9000s is exceptionally large as well.

If you're worried that all I do is pose my truck and take picks I can assure you that I don't.
How can you fault a photographer for taking staged shots?
Nice win. Two AZ trucks in a row. I'll have to bug Beastpath to get a good shot for next month so we can make it three. I don't really want to have to go pull him out of the mud though.

It was graded from Senator Highway down to the creek crossing at Oro Belle. The rest was pretty much the same. We made a day out of it and did a loop back down through Minnehaha. I highly recommend checking that out if you get a chance.

I lurk NOR mostly for ONAZ stuff. I was running Crown King that day or else I would have made it out.

Hey Koveman did a guy named mike buy a pathfinder from you??
Yep. Damn near identical to the one I have now. I kicked myself for a while after selling that.
Ted was on that run. There were a lot of Titan guys out that day. A couple of Frontiers and Xs. T-Ray met up with us near the Verde. Everybody was affiliated with ONAZ one way or another.

Anyone on here from AZ?
ME! You probably know Beastpath. He as a 2-tone WD21. Did you happen to be on the Sheep Crossing run last year? Maybe the TM cleanup?
Welcome to NPORA!

It's possible that they would fit, but I wouldn't count on it unless you have good measurements of each.
-
Nice cans
They are a little pricey, but they are getting harder to find. I haven't run across new ones like that for a while. -
Make sure to put those cross member bolts in with the bolt head towards the front of the truck. That way you won't have to pull the t-bars to drop the diff if you ever need to.
-
It will fit nicely. I was considering doing that so that I could remove the original tank and 4-link the rear of my D21. I already have my spare, can holders and hi-lift on a custom tailgate/bumper.
-
To change the rear springs you will need a floor jack and two stands. Jack up the rear of the truck under the pumpkin, put the stands under the frame, disconnect the rear sway bar, unbolt and disconnect one end of the panhard and shocks, unbolt the parking brake guides from the lower control arms and then lower the floor jack. The springs should be ready to fall out. Getting the new springs in might be a little more difficult, but I've never had an issue getting them in. You may have to loosen the parking brake cable to get the axle to drop far enough to install the longer springs.

Thanks guys. It's one of my favorites.

Well the intake manifold splitting to each of the six cylinders is the equivalent of the intake runners on our FI engines. D and or C could also be controlling a fuel pressure regulator. The airplane is a Cirrus SR22 (given away by the image file name), the powerplant is the Continental IO-550, the blower is made by vortech (V-1 S-Trim). A better picture or maybe a couple more angles would be nice to get a feel for the interaction of the components.

This game is too hard. I thought it was going to be Nissan parts. You said you were into adding boost to aircraft so that gave away most of it. I'm not familiar enough with these systems to provide any more educated guesses.
Does "C" have a built in duck call or something

That drawing looks familiar
I'm glad someone got around to building it. I was never really satisfied with the way mine came out. -
Looks like the OP hasn't been back so why would anyone else try to tell you what was going on? When he does come back he will probably provide the whole world with useful information regarding the project. His other video mentions being in 2wd so just make an assumer of yourself and assume that this was the case this time. Isn't it obvious that this was in 2wd? Dude is bragging about putting two blowers on his VG30 and stuffing that into a Pathfinder. I am all for that type of bravado. He did a good write-up and is following up with videos of the machine in service. I'm much more concerned with how much it will cost me to do the same thing to my rig.
-
Thanks!It was a good day on the trail. hopefully more NPORA people will come wheeling with us.
Seems like you skipped having a WCM this year. Maybe something next Fall?

Isn't this what a BOV is for:

I'm sure that's where this project is going. He couldn't actually be taking this seriously.

An 8" wide wheel is actually 9" wide when it comes to backspacing. 4" backspacing on a 15x8 wheel gives a -12.5mm offset. It's usually stated -12 or -13. Centered would be 4.5" BS on a 15x8. Confusing @!*%e.
-
I believe that the 87-95 H233 LSD units were in the 260-280 lb range. Each iteration after that had progressively weaker breakaway torque until it got all the way down below 100 lbs in the later Frontiers. That turned out to be practically useless. I have lifted a rear wheel with both the good LSD and a Lock-Right and even though the LSD is practically locked, the mechanical locker was much better. I could have avoided some body damage if I had just gone with the locker in the first place.
PS. - B, I have a home for your Lock-Right if you have finally given up on it
-
The "core" of the LSD diff is smaller in diameter than the open diff. I think that Richmond made the right decision to use the open diff for the locker. The LSD diff would have a much smaller locking engagement surface.

Would you mind sharing your vehicle specification numbers for the link calculator? I know my 4-door will be a little different, but I need a good starting place.
