actually the pathfinder doesnt have shit ratios

pretty similar to the stagea

old man used to have the pathy

it's a RWD based 4wd which u can turn on and off

also the pathy uses Vq40 and the auto setting on the 4wd system is very similar to your 4wd system

and pathy's also come in manual

pathy box and such might be a good idea

i still rekon a Z33 or V35 box, modded, will fit.

Cimas came in AWD also, i bet auto only. but thats another option that MAY have come in manual.

The Z33/V35 gearbox will bolt up....question is is will the transfer case bolt up to the gearbox.

why would they manufacture an entire new gearbox for a small run Stagea? surely they would use common parts to keep the prices down.

anyway, that original link in my first post had a stagea front diff in a Z33, but the gearbox wasnt nissan. still, if there ARE manual VQ AWD gearboxes, they cant be all that different to the RWD ones.

belhousing shouldnt be a problem to modify craig. i see the guys at westside who worked on the dumps, modify strange engine/gearbox combo's belhousings all the time for race cars..

next time i have my car up on the hoist.. i will check the sizes of the center for the 34box compared to the auto section of the stagea the transfer looks the same.. so maybe just a change of the centre is needed??

yeh have a look at it adrew if you don't mind.....might also consider the R33 gearbox to reduce cost a little....shit my Dad's old R32 gearbox handled 650HP.

Saw a standard auto on Import Monster for $1,200(with 35,000km) landed but I just cannot convince myself to go that way!!!!!

Then there's the rebuild of the current auto with the mod's that I want at $3,500.

I just cannot get past a HP increase for a little more work and about another $1,500.....looks like my next tax return is spent already :thumbsup:

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
