OK, another big one, all the front gear is on, didn't run smoothly, stupid kit issues, anyway, resolved it, just more of my time though. Looking to mount the blower tomorrow, but have to swap out the accelerator cable back to a TD42 from the BD custom - never seems to end. After that, start on the fun stuff of re-routing all the services which are on the total opposite side to the first time - of course, a/c. PS, Vac pumpSANY0360.JPGSANY0359.JPG Pump installed, lines hooked up, new return hoses, need to bleed it I guess Tried to delect pump shot, yes, lines not connected!

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.
It’s all getting very real now Philstar, top work mate!
Honest question, are the stock GQ engine mount rubbers tuff enough for this added 2300 beast and your twin whopping copper alternators staying on top too?
Reason I truly ask is my lazy arse still hasn’t worked out how to get the ACDelco 38si shed ornament alt hanging off lopsided aligning yet :-(
Mark, I asked about the mounts when I first did the conversion and the only ones they use are the Nissan 4 bolt, on all their conversions, so I reckon they will go the distance. The offset load question, don't know about your case, suspect it would be better than mine as the new brute you have is going to be sitting at worst over a cylinder bank from memory or across the back, where mine is offset, however my 200a unit would weigh maybe 3kg max i reckon, should be fine. I was reading a supercharger manual the other night and there was a perfect driveshaft driven setup on a honda running a belt driven jack shaft to a scroll s/c - so start putting some thoughts together and get it built, amongst the other 500 things going on in your head!

Cheers Mate!
Hopefully my old clacker is 4 bolt too from old days BD, will check on the weekend. Just wondered if there may have been a denser compound rubber version possibly needed?
From memory the stock Nissan 4.8 block weighed nearly the same as a 6.5 block bare and know some of their bits were upgraded like brakes etc...
