I know this is a few months old now, but the early KA24, and maybe the late Z24s, came out with a throttle body injector in some markets. Would that do what you want?

Hi all, I haven't been an active member on this forum for quite a few years, since I got rid of my D21 . (sad face). I got an email today from this forum, from someone named 'NAVARAFORUMUSER', with some detailed questions about interchangeability about gearboxes. Gmail seems to think this...

G'day Chris, great work. Don't know how I've missed this thread so far. My D21 has sat lonely in the shed, unloved for the last 12 months. Hoping to get it back on the road in the next few months, but not doing anything as big as this job. Really impressed with what you've done. Keep it up...

What gearbox is in the ute? If its the older 71c 5spd manual, it will likely get shredded by the V6 in short order.

Good way to lower the front suspension with the torsion bars is to drive the ute for about 200,000km over rough terrain :) Never done it myself, but I imagine that if you sit the front of the car up on blocks (under the chassis) so the wheels are hanging, then it shouldn't be too hard. Trick...

I don't really understand why you had to get it weighed. Does it have a commercial registration, perhaps?

Thanks Zed, Any details you could add would be sweet. Mine's just done over 300k now, and doubt it's ever had the brakes done so thoroughly.

You could try looking at this site http://www.courtesyparts.com It's an American site, but you should be able to get parts numbers and compare between the Navara (Hardbody in the US) and the Pathfinder. There may be some differences between US and Australian stock, but it'd be a start.

Diesel box won't fit.

Taz, these manual gearboxes are really not the best, and this one will be getting a bit long in the tooth. Probably a good chance that if one gear or item is worn, there'll be more damage in there. Might be time to think about getting it refurbed.

Or in case you put an auto in at some stage??? I wouldn't worry about the Power Steering cooling. Just adding in extra complexity to a system that in all liklihood works fine as is.

Well, my exhaust was cut in the middle with a sleeve of some thought. I assumed that was normal! I can understand having difficulty getting the whole length out. Best of luck with it.

Where does it separate? I remember taking exhaust manifolds and the first part of the exhaust out through the engine bay. I have heard that 2cm thing, but had forgotten it. Should think you could still get it to match up someway, even if you've got to bodge it.

or go for an auto :) Bit of mucking around installing the electrics though.
