I'm getting my yota axle done by a friend on mine. JJ Monbronc on Facebook. Can you give him all the details on jigs and what needs to be done to flip the axle please. I've had the axle sitting in my garage for a few years.

I'll be doin my sas swap in the spring so I still have a 4x4 in working condision for the winter 2012. I would suck if my Pathy was tore down sittin in my shop fabin up parts. I would be stuck in my driveway with only lowered cars to drive.

I'm doing the same mods to a 85 yota axle but to make sure it comes out right I'm having a master fab guy I know do the major work.

I scored a Xterra supercharger that had almost everything bolted to it for $400. Came with plenum, inake tube, throttle body,Power Raid spacer, and all brakets and water, vacume tubes. Just a few more things and I can turn my VG33E into a VG33ER.

Why do all that work for that Axle, even with all the work done it wont be any stronger than a D44. If you used the money from all that work on a D44 you would have one heck of an axle. I am doing my SAS this year and am interested in seeing how you do yours. I was going to mimic the rear suspension in the front. I may steal some ideas.
I'm not building a hard core wheeler. It will still be a daily for the streets with winter use for snowy condisions and a little use in the Oregon dunes. Mainly going with the yota axle to keep stock width. I do'nt want my front tires stickin out farther than the rears.

Welding up lots of stuff. Just a tid bit. follow it on Ratsun

Well I need to delay my Pathy build but I will still be sourcing parts. For now I finally got started on the build of my 79 Datsun King Cab. I'm trying very hard to get it finished by March, but time will tell on how that goes. If any of you are members on Ratsun you can watch mt Datsun builds. 620 chop, cut, weld on the project datto page

Truck taillights are not the same. It's possable that those covers are no longer in production.
I looked online and it looks like they no longer exsist

I didn't have a spring compressor so I improvised a little.
I've done struts the same way many times over the years. Probly the first was in 1989 on a 71 Datsun 510
-
Is that a cover on the back tail lights?! Or did you paint them like that? Cause that looks sweet!
Painted to match v-tech taillight covers

that's f-in awsome, I want one.

I've heard that the LS2 weighs the same as the KA24

My vg30 had about 180k on it and alot of pulling a trialer around for motocross racing, that vg30 was waisted and needed a serious rebuild. But I wanted to do the vg33 upgrade. I picked up a 0 mile vg33 from Felton's all Nissan auto wrecking for $1700 in 2005. No one had done that swap yet but I figured it out. With the lack of time I had to work on it and putting my cash in to a S13/Skyline build, it took about four years. It has about 10k on it now and runs very well. It has stainless headers, 2 1/2 exhaust, adjustable cam gears, puller fans, MSD 6a, Stillen intake. Now I'm gathering all the parts to do the factory supercharger. I have almost everything, and only three more parts to buy. The lower crank shaft pully, the ac compressor clutch, and the supercharger it self. I'll be useing a Vi-pec computer and get it tuned.

Originally mine was white, but I do'nt really like white and it's hard to maintain. If you do'nt do a good buff and detail two times a year, white will start to turn dirty and brown. I did a full tear down and full color change to 95 Mazda M8 Montiego blue mica. I came on the RX7's and Miata's

Ordered a few mor parts for my super charger set up. Just a few more to go and then I'll start getting what I need to build double triangulated front and rear set up
-
Your radiator exploding worries me about mine. My Pathy has about 190k on the chassis with 10k on a new VG33. I would like better cooling with an aluminum rad but I hav'nt found a direct fit yet. Hope you get your's repaired soon
-
Now that winter is coming my mind is getting back to suspension mods so it's time to start getting parts to do the double triangulated front and rear suspension.
-
Mine was a "test drive one" I bought new in 95 with 4k on it. SE model with off road package for 33k after taxes

I was told that a M30 ecu with nistune board will work well for suprecharging a VG33e. I consulted Doug at UP Garage about that and he suggested since I have a S13 Silvia with a RB25DET gen2 that I should use a ViPEC ecu. ViPEC's are not vehicle specific, they are cylinder specific, so if you have more than one 6 cylinder car you tune them, save programs and swap into whatever car you might be driving any given day. In my case I only drive my Silvia about 200 or 300 miles per year, so the ViPEC will be the way to go.

Today I talked to a master fab guy I use for misc things and I will be having him do all the mods on my Yota axle. I worked out the issues with useing a Yota axle in a Pathy. Instead of fliping it I'm going to chop it up, weld in new axle tubes putting diff on drivers side and use every axle upgrade from Trailgear.com
-
I spy RANCHO A-ARMS!!
When I start my suspension project, all of the parts that come off my Pathy will be for sale. Trailmaster 4" lift, Rancho rear springs, Rancho upper arms and Trailmaster shocks.

Well, you didnt take any time jumping in did ya!
Glad you found this place and your rig looks great! Thought you said it doesnt go offroad! Anyway, it was nice chatting with you at the show. Maybe I will enlist your fab skills for a new front bumper in the future! Oh, and I took this pic a while ago, but is this your rig?
Once again, good looking rig and glad to have you on board!

yep. that's mine

What kind of paint did you use to paint the window switch trims? I like that idea.
same as exterior. I own a small collision repair shop and prefer use of Sherwin Williams Ultra system
