pathblazin420 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 do i see one of our (derale) heat sink coolers up front on pass side of the radiator? just make sure u are not using that as your primary tranny cooler (if thats what it is) because it will not provide sufficient cooling. those are only used as secondary helper coolers by the way that your truck is beast. i think that pic just motivated my to make mine into a full on pre runner. SAS, full cage, motor swap, tubular chassies and everything. gonna have to start lookin for another daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentDub Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Been following this build, and am thoroughly interested. Building Nissan's is a whole different ball game than Jeeps. I would love to follow suit with my R50. Would love to see an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddfildvaynes Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Any updates on your R50 Tyler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.D.M.A. Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I had an idea, would it be possible to take the whole front off like you did here, and then buy any engine, ranging from a lawn mower to a step below a semi truck, and build a cage on the front to hold it? I know it would be a lot of work, but would it be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 anything is possible if you don't mind the extensive modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01silvapathy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Looks to me like its pretty damn near finished! So whats the story, what needs to be done in order for this thing to be trail worthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 wow. beastly siting. looks like those purpose built rock crawler stances. might as well weld up the rear doors and smooth out the rear fender wells to give it a clean look.

tmoore4512 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Parted it out and scrapped the body according to his latest posts on Ronin. Sigh, I know the feeling... with mine in "mid build" its easy to get frustrated.... and the way the spousal unit despises it.... scrap yard might bring some peace.... but I refuse!!! NOO!!! Anyway, good build thread to follow, I learned a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaX Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) The engine/tranny/tcase adapter are behind my house under a tarp.... It is going in my buggy project down the road.. I have done the same thing with a couple rigs throughout the years. Ya get about half way done and realize what you learned and what you want to change because of the learning process... it is easier to just start over. This is thinking like a fabricator... not a person who just wants to go wheel. A fabricator wheels to see if his contraption works well... then rips it apart again to make it better. Like said before.. it gets to a point where it is easier to just start over. This is also why, for me, I say "buggy project"... This time all the parts will be here (at least 20-30K worth) before it gets started. There will not be any "good enough for now"...parts on the rig. Then it gets built correctly the first time... no half (_i_).. Edited July 4, 2012 by GrandpaX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I agree 100% and exactly why I wish I would have left mine simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaX Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 OK... I guess there needs to be a why SAS thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmoore4512 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Yes, for those who do not know exactly what they are getting into... and why they would even want to... I did not mean for it to sound like I regretted my decision. Simply put, with every project I under take I end up changing plans at some point to either "improve" or "fix" something along the way... I assume it is this way with anyone who is a DIY'er. On another note as you have already made clear... if I had all of the parts either behind the shop, or readily available it would certainly be that much easier and cost effective...

I had a large vacuum leak and I kept cracking the lower runner for the #6 cylinder. Turns out a hose clamp on the IAC valve was keeping the plenum from sitting flat, so when the bolt was torqued it would crack the runner. Vacuum leaks appear to be gone now. I've got a huge oil leak from the oil pan. The entire underside of the car is covered in oil. It has a UV dye in it so people like to tell me it's antifreeze. Haven't taken the time to install the other 3.5 to 3" coupler I waited 3 months for on the intake. How I ended up routing the upper radiator hose since this one is a little shorter than the stock radiator. How my interior looks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
