Check out Car-part.com This will search all the yards around you Via distance. also if memory serves, look for an xterra rear differential. they are 33spline as well like the R50s

yah i did the SC swap on my SAS xterra and is been the best thing ive done. Really wanna get this R50 done that i have because the 35s are just killing it lol

well goo deallll. i wanted to make a jumper from harness to harness but depinning it may be the route. may have to start looking for some extra parts now lol

so talk me through the ECU part. I know that the pigtails are different from the xterra ecu tgo the r50 one. What did you have to do exactly? unpin the entire plug and just re pin it to the xterra ecu pig tail?

This is super cool. glad to see people out here still swapping in manuals lol

really depends on how they look id say. I just re did headgaskets on my 96 and i had 4 or 5 that looked like this. didnt realize till i was putting it back together. Even then i still ran them and it barley makes any noise so i got lucky lmao https://imgur.com/27n9NYb

Rack is in, new tie rods, all the camber bolts, tagged and insured. First drive went well, grabbed the Fam and hit the woods. Luckly the 4wd works because i got soft out lol Also i need to find some weight to put on this front end. Struts are not happy with these lift springs. front right seems to be topping out pretty bad. SO gotta find a bumper for the winch i have. Otherwise just needs a new trans mount and output shaft seal to be completly done for the moment https://imgur.com/ppxlE3C

Not to hijack this thread but This is something new i have never seen. a magnetic inline filter? Where would one stick this? kinda want to get one on my 2022 pro4x but do they hinder flow at all?

was able to get another set of camber bolts in, got the wheels straightened up but have a slight bit of negative camber. This tells me ill be able to get it straight with a good alignment. Went on to replacing the tie rods, and the inner seals on the rack are pouring fluid out. So now have a rack on order lol this thing is gonna continue to drain me with having 235k miles on it lol

was trying to get the front end straightened out last night. i think i may have to run 2 sets of camber bolts. These 2in 4x4parts springs are pretty damn stiff. im hoping they relax eventually. i removed the sway bar and tried to get it to flex a little so i could get the cv axles out and that was a problem haha. had to hammer them out being they were hitting the lower control arm from so much droop.

well got it all on the ground yesterday and drove it around. gotta get the alignment done, new tierods, rack bushings and possibly another set of camber bolts. I have everything in the garage but just ran out of time. Also front diff isnt in since pinion seal is trashed and i think its leaking behind the passenger axle. may just source another diff from the junk yard. Otherwise it drives around! just got to get these AC coils and 9446s to settle in and well be good! https://imgur.com/3XhUaw5 https://imgur.com/6QKYQiV

SFD is here and ive got it all tore down ready to drop the Subframe. Gotta figure out the best plan of action to do it by myself but i think i have an idea. Ready to get this thing on all 4 and on the damn road lol heres a link. couldnt resize it https://imgur.com/dYYVLJ2

So hows this thing doing since the 4in SFD? just got mine yesterday and tearing into it. basically going to be the same exact set up

ordered up a set of 9446s and got them on. Brought the back up a bunch thank goodness. Tracking shows the SFD will be here today so im super excited for that!

to an extent i would say yes, but at the same time no. Yes because you are changing the physical geometry of where everything sits, No because its all being moved the same amount. alignment will need to be done to correct any issues but drivability should remain the same
