Turbo diesel, wash your mouth out my boy. We are fitting a gen3 5.7lt, not into oil burners, to slow, got to have enough power to spin all 4 wheels on the tar. 280kws at the flywheel is so much more fun

When i had my rear diff rebuilt i got the mechanic to tighten the clutch pack up about 25% more than standard. It now reacts more like a ford detroit locker, just a little more flexible. It still a has a bit of free drive in tight corners but when power is applied it drives both wheels without any slip at all. Even on dry tar roads it will easily spin both wheels on take off, it is a necessity when you have more power and big rubber.

Hey guys, We are 99% finished our 5inch lift kits for R50's, our struts are bigger, thicker and longer than what is in the picture. They are full custom coil over struts, new springs new rear shocks, lower control arms panhard bar, brakelines etc... We will have full bolt in kits available in the next 4 weeks, engine swap kits about 6 weeks away and solid diff bolt in kit should be done by july this year.

Ok, we are working with 3.3lt in our 96 R50 The muffler is a walker(aust) muffler, it is a dual 2inch in and dual 2inch out muffler, it has an internal crossover in it that works to equalize the pipes. As i said we did a few bit of changing and swapping to get the end result we wanted. The total system cost me $400 aust, it isnt loud but does has a nice deep sound, when i get the pathy started i will try to record it and post it on youtube, Just got to try to remember to do that before we start the engine swap,

I have found that there is so many shock/spring combo's out there that it really ends up being whatever your happy with, sach's, ome, gabriel, monroe, pedders etc all have good points and bad points, We went out and found someone that would make new springs and full length custom struts(5 inchs longer than standard) to suit our own design. That took a long time, more than 6 mths ringing and chatting to people in the industry to find someone that would listen to us and work with us. The new struts add 4 1/2 inchs of compression and more than 5 inchs more extension over standard, we went the same way with the rear springs and shocks, they are full length custom stuff, just think guys, 5 inchs higher a but will still compress to same depth as the original and more than 7 inchs more extension than originals. There are some that love ome stuff and some don't, me personally, i have found that all the aftermarket equipment on the market for R50 pathy's has left me wanting more, bars(front and rear), snorkels...what a joke, sump guards, and more. I have spent the last 12mths designing tube bars(winch and non winch) front and rear, high mount towbar(more than 7 inchs more height than original) and now the full high lift suspenion, the only aust legal 5 inch lift. Next in the making is a full replacement front suspension set-up, it is a bolt in frame, spring and shock mounts, solid diff, new brakes, driveshaft, brake lines, wiring for ABS,new shocks and springs bolts, nuts, etc Yes bolt in, no welding It will give R50 pathy's a totally new outlook, more articulation than ever possible with the factory IFS, more variation in lifts and better load carrying ability. The 5.7lt gen3 engine swap will also be available as a kit too.

If anyone is interested, we have almost finished our 5 inch lift kit here. It is a complete kit, front struts, no spacer, rear springs(new not rewound or stretched), lower longer control arms, panhard rod, brake lines, brackets etc.....springs can be done for standard ride or load carrying etc..we also do stainless snorkels too http://mypathy.com/gallery2/v/brens+path/ Some pictures of us at play and snorkels in action

Hi, i tried 3 different set ups before finder the one that worked, I found that a full 2 inch twin system, twin mufflers welded together and twin pipes out the back worked best, i got 23kws at the wheels and a great sound. Running big pipes makes less back pressure and on a standard motor you will lose bottom end and mid range power. Mid range is where i was looking for more power and thats where i got mine, from 2000rpm - 4000rpm i have a 30% increase in torque. A more open air box and pod filter helped here too. In the dry i can spin the wheels out of corners and drift up to about 110kph(65mph approx) In the wet its more that a hand full with the new tighter lsd i have.

Hey guys, we have almost finish a complete 5 inch lift kit, We have full custom front struts(coil over style) custom longer lower control arms, custom wound rear springs, these can be do for ride or extra load carrying, lower panhard rod,sub frame spacers, steering extenion, brake lines, brackets etc I currently run 33/12.50x15 mugrel muddies, with a 2 1/2 inch lift, lower arms, and cut front guards. http://mypathy.com/gallery2/v/brens+path/ pictures of my pathy can be seen here.

Well over here in Australia guys, if our belts squeal we either tighten them or if they are already tight enough we grab a bar of normal hand soap and rub it on the drive faces of the belts, stops most squealing because of the pig fat that soap makers put in it....hm, washing in pig fat, lovely thought isn't it....not
