if the chassis is cracked, its cleaned and welded, and the new bar put on.

the way I see it, its more from people overloading the downforce on the bar, not the pulling.

if you have a nicely balanced(0kg down) 3t trailer, I dont think it would crack.

it you had a 1t trailer with all the weight at the front(say 250kg down), its over the downward load rating.

the new design now has vertical plates with an extra 2 bolts per side to help.

havnt seen any navara diffs yet.

have seen pathfinder one.

last i checked welding of any chassis bits is a big no no for any car. I understand the weight loading thing. we have a custom dual axle trailer with a long ass draw bar that regularly carries lots of heavy stone and concrete products, but has zero load on the ball if loaded well.

Nissan sounded quite concerned when we told them it regularly carries heavy trailers.

The old RB30 powered racing phatrol still makes easier work of driving trailers than the 200 killerwasps of V6 furry.

Do it Ants. Or just start bad mouthing them. Let everybody know how you've been treated. Name and shame, just make sure you don't do it on SAU, as the admin will kick you.

this coming from an admin....

My old mans is made in spain. agreed beautiful smooth idle. But my old mans has alot of cold start whirs and squeaks :( nothing major, just pulley's and the likes that shouldnt make those noises yet, and clutches that clunk, and a useless 6 speed manual where you only realy need 3 gears :)

so long as its done right, its ok.

think about it, theyre welded from factory.

a proper weld is actually stronger than the steel surrounding it.

and its only if the cracks are LESS than 150mm long.

The phone all Chris #@olloSKYLINEollo got before was at probley the third angriest I've ever been.

I'm currently at the pub quite drunk and very upset... I've sourced new headlights and indicators to fix it ready but feeling like shit.

A German Shepard ran out straight infront of the car in the fog I was only doing about 50ks, didnt have time to do anything. The dogs fine, my cars has been better ill get pics tomorow :(

agreed, But from years of tinkering old cars, I know for a fact that enginbeers frown upon chassis mods. so I assumed welding a perfectly good cracked chassis shouldnt be any different.

ahh sh!t man. Bad luck can strike at anytime. If the dog is ok damage sustained to your car can't be that bad (I hope)?

Mainly cosmetic like Chris said.... I duno. Ill be backstreet later very drunk :)

that sucks man, lucky for the dog he was largish. unlucky for your car. Owners of the dog should pay for this if you weren't doing anything silly.

The one Jase got is a D-22, it has the TD25, its the older model that you can now buy new heaps cheap. No surrender monkey engine.

Ahhh i see, best decision ever! :) Ive heard nothing but good things about them, and they had alot of time to refine them......lol. The big square things are just show ponies.

had one for work years ago, tough little thing, not the nicest on road manners though!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
