The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Although a lot of us would love to run tyre's like that you may a struggle to get a response for anyone here over 35" tyres unfortunately mate.
No idea on a clutch for a 38" but would say a Safari Tuff Clutch would be a good choice for starters.
Why is that AB? You have probably the best offroadtracks/wilderness in the world? Don't you need it?
The setup with tires, lifting, cutting and flalers is originally from Iceland. The tires come in handy when you let the air out in the deep snow..!
MudRunnerTD, you should import a set of molds and start making them.. =P (easier said than done..)
There's a bloke not far from where I live who bought some old molds from Iceland for the MK/MQ 160/260. Because you couldn't get them anymore...I think he made a few bucks thou..

It's illegal for us mate ... even 35's are coming under fire now ...
Hehe..! I see! It's illegal too..but when they occasionally have their control posts set up, and you get caught, we only have to go up to the vehicle authorities and show the car with original tires...there's no fee or anything as I know of...you only have to pay for showing it...!
My car isn't allowed with anything but original tire size + 5% around. And that's like...ye I don't know...I don't care actually.. =P
But it's a bit sad..here you can't build cars. But we got to keep on anyways.. hehe...

Move to Ukraine and you can build anything you want, no matter how dangerous to yourself and others, as long as you pay your bribes. (Actually, the same rule applies if you have a showroom new Mercedes straight off the dealer floor - want to register it, gotta pay your bribes....)
