Bezman, Rex car before monroe rd had a complete pathfinder diff a bit back, and they wanted $1500 for it, complete with calipers and rotors and cables, was a bit rusted and the calipers were locking the rotors so i could not turn it, but there was an LSD on it.......

[Bezman]

thanks so much fellas will call and pass and check them!

if i get that LSD one i on like boil corn. hard to believe there is a pathfinder 9" diff in there

[droppa]

what is the ratio on that diff.....4 something?

[Bezman]

either 4.3 or 4.9 it dont matter.. as i can swap out the ring gear if anything.. i just needs the LSD differential assembly.

I need to pull my diff and see what spline count my axels are because there are 31 and 33 spline

woke up at 8am and drove the datto all the way to Matelot on christmas eve and surfed all day, all and all it was an epic day, car worked flawlessly and the waves were amazing. Saw a rolled blue Datsun 1200 sedan right after toco fishing depot, wish i saw the owner to ask for some parts as the car looked pretty badly damaged..

ahh well... happy to have the car on the road, lots of work is needed, and after a drive like that allot of new rattles and found some gremlins that need sorting.

Looks good - methinks a small roof rack would be in order?

[Bezman]

thnaks, guys, Alpha I am actually on the look out for a old school roof rack, if you know one, please let me know

[Alpha_2nr]

^w3rd - will do. But aren't roof racks all the rage in teh US these days with teh "stance" crew?

Should be easy to get one IMHO...and I find they all look the same

[swift gti funatic]

^^yakima

[Bezman]

I dont know anything about no stance crew nah

[Monk BANzai]

great job!!! good stuff!!

[swift gti funatic]

Fortunately.. local "stance" crew's hasn't picked up this trend as yet. However.. shouldnt be too long till you see some local cars with truck stance coasin it for style

[Monk BANzai]

[moti]

yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[MG Man]

width
offset
PCD

[Bezman]

MG those are Rays Volk Racing 2 Piece Mesh wheels
4x114.3
14x5
offset looking like +10 or similar.

I am just guessing on the specs, but thats what they looking like to me

[nigie]

whey would I see de offset..would it be stamped on de rim or i have tuh measure?

[Bezman]

the offset will/should be on the back of the wheel hub

[nigie]

Just have a tag saying rays engineering.....
From the mating surface to the rim edge its 4 inches....pm me a offer

[Bezman]

ok fellas, i am really thinking of swapping out the pathfinder 9" diff for a much smaller KE30 or B210 Diff, if anyone knows someone with one of those diffs let me know, or if you know where to get one in the bamboo etc, let me know please...

going to keep the pathfinder diff, rebuild it with the right LSD and gears, found out that the seals and bearings are gone too, want a diff that will bolt in now for now and keep the car on the rd

[Monk BANzai]

no matter what you decide....DO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!

( i jsut so pumped by this projeckt and is not even mines)...

[cinco]

would an ole school jimny diff work also?
those seem to be easier to find

[Bezman]

not without allot of fabrication, the B210 (egg shape 120y) and the KE30 Corolla (egg shape corolla) diff swap in bolt for bolt, so its the easiest swap, plus there are avail with LSD from factory and Nismo/TRD

[droppa]

bring vids, bring vids!!!!!

will open an eye for a diff for yuh, if u get one u mite have to repair it, seals/bearings......
