  1. Here is my vg30 compared to vg33 page. May answer some of your concerns.

    I am not familiar with the 510 adapter. But the easiest swap is use a 96 CANADA d21 harmonic balancer. 95 was the last year for vg30 in w/d21. Canada models still got vg30. It has been noticed that some wd21s starting in 94 had the larger crank and harmonic balancer.

     

    I will have to find pictures and part number. But I have heard its a pure bolton.

  2. His brake stainless brake line got pinched on the shock mount and had a small hole. The hill is VERY steep. I put some vise grips on the line and he made the hard trail with help of a winch. Then he stuffed right front and snapped a ujoint. But made it off the trail and onto trailer! Unlike last time when he destroyed OEM elocker and shredded front shaft. Not too many Nissans on 38x14s!!!

  3. OK, so for an update on the mileage: It is getting about 17 mpg for a mix of freeway and city driving. That is right about where the 3.0 was. I can post again after I go through a few more tanks and get a better average.

     

    Very nice. My auto has never gotten better than 15mpg. But Its not exactly stock. My 96 r50 5speed got 20mpg ONCE. Normally around 16-18mpg. So that sounds good.

     

    I wonder what the vg30 cams would do. Apparently there more aggressive.

  4. I'm sure that stub was designed like that for a reason.

    Also i'm glad that they are willing to do this. i was on the phone with NWF recently talking about doing this very thing. and i'm with barry on the tx-10 shifters.. i like the way they work.

    I'd be willing to help move these here in the states as well.

     

    good work and keep us updated.

     

    I was going to ask you about this. Since they normally sell through advance adapters. And you had advance make the atlas adapter. Be awesome if you (ruggedrocks.com) could sell these.

     

    Those pix are the old tx12 design. I have no idea what your talking about bad design. Not sure if the tx10 will be same or not.

  5. do you know if he will make more after this run, or is this like a 1 time deal where if i dont get it now its gone forever

     

    It will be a normal stocked item. If they make it. I have 10 or so people interested. Hopefully we can all come up with the money for the initial build to get the product made.

  6. So Barry, we would have to make our own shift linkages for that price?!? I mean i know its a moot point, but damn, paying a G to get the kit here maybe more, and then on top of it I have to modify it seems a little off to me....

     

    No. The kit comes with all the custom shift parts shown in the picture above. You have to supply the Nissan shift parts. You only have to make a steel rod from the shifter to the lever similar to the stock one. Or lenghten the stock one. $5 of steel.

     

    This is the MAIN reason I want this compared to an atlas or a dana 300. I love the tx10 shifter. Its simple and solid. The shifters are OEM and IMO much better than the $300 cable setup.

  7. Marks 4wd is willing to make a tx10 verison of there tx12 (patrol tcase).

     

    G'Day Barry,

     

    Thank you for your email & interest in our products. The dual transfer case kit we do for the Patrol's will not suit the TX10 transfer case. Although they look similar they are different internally. We could look at doing a kit to suit your transfers but we would need a minimum order or 10 plus 50% deposit up front

     

    We are looking at keeping the cost the same as the Nissan Patrol dual adaptor. Kit would have same components, adaptor, shaft, & bearing. You would need to do a shifter set up for your rigs . AUD $ = $927.27 US depending on exchange rate approx US$725 based on .78cents. Shipping not included in price

    Keep in touch & let us know how you go. Time frame would be approx 6-10 weeks as we have to have patterns made for the adaptor etc

     

    This is there TX12 version.

     

    Note they make the adpater that connects to range boxs. So you have 2 gear ratios. 2:1, 4:1. But if you have 4:1 gears in one box. You get 3 ratios. 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1. :cool:

    Can we round up 10+ folks with tx10s?

     

    I added the tx12 instructions here. 8megs!!! http://nissannut.com/marks4wd/MFK1595.pdf
