ToasticlesAe82 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 soo much win props for an amazing effort can't wait to see what the beast get's up to off road and maybe even the 1/4 mile? xD Quote
Ella Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 If you hit ye olde glass house in this shoot me a pm id be keen to come along in the missues grand vitara. Goes ok offroad for a luxury/girls car haha. Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks guys, will hit the 1/4 for some laughs, see how it compares to the commo. will keep the offroad updates coming too! Sounds good ella, shoot us your number, always keen to get some crew offroad. Exhaust is all done, sounds like a damn moo moo commodore, wanted it quieter but there is only room for one muffler. Goes hard, shifts hard, and is an absolute pleasure to drive, the missus is going to love it. Steering is lighter because of the commo pump even with the 33s, seriously drives like a much nicer car now, very happy! Quote
Undertaker_is_the_best Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 very glad to see the end result great build mate Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 thanks mate, not quite on the road yet, early next week i think. The list from rwc + mod plate guy : 1. front bumper parker not working 2. front diff mount split 3. 2 outer tie rod ends 4. rh upper control arm bushes 5. adjust steering box 6. adjust lh wheel bearing 7. find engine number 8. 3 tyres no good (stocko ones) Have fixed all of the above, just need to read the engine number somehow.....what a spot to put it in holden! :bash: Quote
Ella Posted May 5, 2011 Report Posted May 5, 2011 ive found the best way to read engine numbers is generally to get one of them mirrors on a stick that repco sell, i did have one somewhere but can't find it or id offer to lend it. i have quite a few mates who like to hit up glassy so ill pm you my number nao.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Posted November 5, 2011 A bit of of an update with this thing. Has been serving as my wifes work car since it was finished, has been extrememly reliable, but a thirsty pig. Has had 1" body lift, tyres touched the mudflaps on flex. Went to Landcruiser park, twas good, cheap chinaman cv joint sheared off in the middle with very little abuse, so was a 3 wheel drive for the weekend, genuine reconditioned mitsubushi cv going in next week. I have some good vids, but need good internets to upload. These are the only still pics i took, so forgive the ghey flex shot pose. minor damage to the plastic, i will admit the door and sill are crumpled metal underneath. Also went in the local burnout comp, have 2 vids to upload, locker worked well, 31's were not the ideal tyre size to smoke, but it did a good skid. Pic i found on boostlosing... Quote
kickn5k Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 What is it with swb 4x4's with conversion engines? Member(not sure if he wants it known who he is) on here has a swb Toyota bundeera with a 7mgte it's nasty on boost and it's still all STD. Gotta love 4x4 gearing!! Nice conversion. Would be ssoooo torquey down low. Quote
