    Ok, Rev asked for specs so here they are.

     

    Front:

    spring buckets, located on frame stand offs (this eliminated the necessity to shorten the axles) spring buckets were from a 76 ford F150. Radius arm mounts, Custom. I used 5 deg bushing for the radius arms. Then i had to locate the radius arm mounts at the proper angel to keep my castor angle correct. Springs are 5.5" wildhorse rock crawler series. These are normally for Early bronco.

    HPD44 axle

     

    Rear,

    Unless you have are very good in math, know somebody who is a geometry wize, who can fabricate anything necessary, and you have the formula to calculate it all.... Don't even try to do a triangulated 4 link. its not easy! (My job is custom fabrication of Heavy and specialty equipment) rear spring are 3.5" wild horse rock crawler series. They are located on 4 in stand offs from the axle.

    Ford 9" axle

     

    I have a 3 inch body lift installed. before i started I was running 30" tires, and had 13.5 inches of frame clearance. I know have nearly 24.5"

     

    I also have a custom Hand throttle, so i don't have to do the 2 foot 3 peddle shuffle.

    Stereo,, you only wish you had it! Over 600 watts, Resonant engineering 8" subs built into custom body pannels. I have added a couple of pics below so you all can see some more detail.

     

    I remind you ITS NOT DONE!!!

    ok, please educate me, Frist, the swap looks like a class act job!

    second is your rig a 4 wd or 2wd?

    if 4wd, what did you use for a transfer case? isn't the the holden left hand output on the transfer case.

    Dude, that is a sweet 620, I've been looking for an older datsun for a comuter and possible a first vehicle for my daughter, you do you still have it? If so you want to sell it?

    I was looking at earlier 521's cause i like the boxy look, but for such a sweet 620 it would be intersteing.

     

    do you know of any 521's for sale? they are getting pretty rare.

    I can get in it ok.. but its tall, i have 25 inches of frame clearace, and the lowest point other than that are my radius arm mounts, other than that, i'll have a skid plate that will be at 24 iches from the ground. its all comming together!

     

    besides, when was the last time you saw a Pathfinder on 36 x 12.50's

     

    you should have seen my 8 year old daughter try to get in it..... :laugh:

    //4. Pressure Control Solenoid = 3.6 Ohms // I would say that this coil is no good.

     

    i asked our electrical engineer, and he says that since its a DC coil, you can get an idea of what the resistance is. he said someware between 20 - 35 ohms depending on the size of the coil. if you are only reading a couple of ohms, which you are on this coil, it is probably burnt inside and conducting the current directly or close to directly back to the other leg of the coil.

     

    as far as the different readings of the coils from after running to not running, this is just heat causing different resistance.

    95 Pathy Anyone tow a 19'' baot?

    With the auto, you'll probably want an aftermarket tranny cooler. With my 94 with a manual tranny I towed a 16ft boat heavily loaded, along with 4 people (including myself) and a ton of camping gear. Went about 500 miles round trip, up 2 passes each way, 4 total. Absolutely no problems.

    Just on a note, Nissan manuals have a lower tow rating than automatics, I asked a tech once why and he said the clutch due to different driving habits. I'd say no problem Just FYI
