DW Matty 1 greek = 10 men so all good lmao

Maybe 10 Victorian men or whatever they are . Us QLDers are only comparable to legends.

Back to you Georgie boy. Any of your arguments I see as null and void my friend with the fact your looking at an engine swap. The word practicality comes into mind with toughness. Have a look at any comp seen most are gq's. yes they use gu diffs but the only difference here is cv joint size the rest is still all the same. A GQ is tougher straight of the box hence why myself and mud runner own both. The GQ for the hard and rough and the GU for the comfortable touring.

Back to your engine swap. You will certainly be making the car weaker if you choose the Chev route while bolt parts and aftermarket is great, their longevity and reliability isn't great compared to that of a well maintained Nissan donk. As for your suspension worries show me any decent drag, race or street car that doesn't have some form o modified suspension.

As for the the earlier remarks about rocky track, if you can't get up this in a standard gu ( maybe a 2" lift as most are these days) then you should put a for sale sign on it straight up.

Bring on September I say

Firstly don't the GU diffs have a wider track??
Secondly most drag cars get re built every meet to make sure they are still serviceable and they also get scrutinized before every meet to check for stress fractures and to make sure their mods are legal.

I was tossing up between a td42 or the ls1, more so the ls coz i already have a motor sitting doing nothing but was in 2 minds about it. Just depends what the bank account looks like when i make up my mind, so that story will be continued lol.

Whats rocky track ?? Lol

[nissannewby]

I think someone else said something about rocky track.

Someone earlier said that they have long arms I'm just wandering how do u find them and do u think that they r worth it or do u suggest to just get some adjustable once.
Also I'm looking at putting 4.11 diffs in my 4.8 auto but the gu didn't come with the 4.11 in the back with the small diff so it looks like I'm going to be looking at u gq boys for diffs

[Nutta28]

As and a 2 inch lift mine doesn't even have that so I had to crawl up on stock hight suspention stock tyres with 36 psi in them and I was still dragging my diffs and factory side steps.
Also when I bought my 4.8 ti I was also looking at gq's but it's hard to find good once these days that don't cost the same as a gu

[nissannewby]

Long arms are certainly worth it. Why do you want to change ratios? You don't need GQ diffs as such just any rear but the gu has a wider track.

I'm hearing ya about the prices there is a GQ advertised up here for 35k.
