In it goes: Nissan lump. Will see how it performs out there...

I am installing a R380 gearbox on a TD27 Nissan engine, with an adapter that was poorly manufactured and is off-center by 0.7mm. I need to position the locating dowels, and it's quite a task to get proper measurements from parts that have seen better days... Does anyone have the PCD/BCD for...

The head gasket on my 127's 200TDi blew, and I'm grabbing this opportunity to change the ticker in the old lady. Got a Nissan TD27 engine and conversion kit available, but the 2.7 would probably be short of breath for the job at hand (daily runs in the bush with anything from 500kg to 1,300kg...

Does anyone have an idea of the ratio on a LT230 with serial starting 21D? It's not on Ashcroft's list, and can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

Anybody ever converted a Range Rover, Disco, or any other Landy to hydropneumatic suspensions as fitted on Rolls Royce and Citroen? Seems to me that if properly done, it would beat the crap out of both EAS and coils...

Yesterday I added some figures regarding my main vehicles. And got to a saddening conclusion. Land Rover: used on 6 full Safaris (2000+ km each, 30-40% of it off-road across the bush) Total approx. 13,000 km from March 2010 (1986 built, unknown mileage on 200TDi bought used from the UK) Total...

Toyota 4.2lt 6cyl turbo diesel, slightly tampered with to get comfortably over 200Hp. Toyota gearbox, transfer case and propshafts, Disco axles and diffs, and you got yourself a car... It's a 110 pick-up, just won the Chimp Challenge (Uganda's foremost 4x4 event) for the third year in a row...

Would there be an interest in an "Engine conversions" section in the Engines forum? Chime in, ye unfaithful who got (or wish they had!!!) a Japanese - or worse - lump in your Landy.

A while ago, I asked a friend about a Landy in his yard. His reply? "This one? Well, it's not completely finished yet..." Tactful understatement, I dare say. So we shook hands. Of course, there were some finishing touches to do, and it went through a few intermediary stages. But in...

A question for those who've "been there, done that, or seen it"... First, the background: Car: - 127" Rapier, V8 removed and replaced with 200tdi (not by me) - The radiator uses all the width of the front grill, 2 electrical fans - An air-to-air intercooler (don't know where it came from, not...

I am totally rebuilding a 1986 Classic. Of course, being that the job is done in Africa, it is done to full African specs... Only that I noticed slight discrepancies between what I read in glossy magazines about all the marvelous expensive shiny stuff that is needed here, and what I found out...
