That'd b an awesome project, and Im guessing will fetch reasonable money too.. 6pot Nissan would make it usable! Good find!!

Good call! Didn't even think of the 2b! Das, you'd b I the rested if they're 2b bits!

Bonnet? Two piece wheels?? Eyebrow tops... Not seen any of these on a 101, but curious.. Any pics? Cheers for putting it on here too!! :)

Well, the 101 is now well tested. We've covered over 2000km in the last few weeks and the only issue was a loose terminal on the rear of the IGN key switch which temporarily ceased forward motion for a few min! The Cummins performed fantastically, with good speed on the blacktop, and awesome...

Fantastic! :)

Not yet. There's one on the shelf in the workshop that'll b going on it soon.. just gotta sort out an air ram.. Going to put one on the center diff too, with a flick switch on the gear lever, as it'd b handy to be able to drop in and out of diff lock when turning sharply.

Yesterday, we took part in a small group tour into the surrounding hills on a large wine producing property. Some of the slopes tackled were half a km long and 45deg up or down. Second low box with the Cummins at idle was the speed of choice! Awesome sound, torque and usability! I did have one...

Here we are setup 4 hours north of home at the South Australian Land Rover Show in Melrose. We had a great run up, running at 60mph most of the way, and at 70mph once out in the country! The 101's really stable at these speeds, and we even outran a Puma110 on the next hill after he'd overtaken...

Here's a shot of it finished! Everything worked well and is now well tested!

Before you go ripping stuff apart, pop the two rubber caps off in the center of the rear wheels, and check that the splines have not worn out. Quite common for the shafts to be turning in the center caps. Easy fix if so.:)

A bit more progress over the last few days... Here's the rear spare carrier, now with the two support pillars in place. Each pillar has its top piece sat in place.. These will carry the 100 x 50 RHS that will carry the spares, a couple of work lights and poss a few ariels. :)

Great position to be in!!! :)

Hello bud!! Welcome to the 101 section!!! Progressing well!!! :)

So, with that all done (and now you are all up to date), its onto the spare wheel carrier mfr, as I want the spares on the rear for the Easter and beyond trip to the South Australian Land Rover Show and 10 days of touring thru The Flinders Ranges! Plan is to mount the two spares on an over...

It works, but prob looks a bit better than it actually is... To get adequate sump to diff clearance and still be able to get the original engine cover to sit in place its reliant on the 16mm lift achieved by fitting third leaves, but it also requires the rear to be quite low... All up, the...

When you do, make sure to get a thread going!! If you go down the Cummins route, talk to Nick (nrs91) as he has a Cummins Group running elsewhere on the interweb and there's a lot of good info floating between us all.. 90's, 110's, a 140" (I think) with a recently fitted 24 valve Cummins, and my...

It would have been great if it had taken a week... I've slimmed the story down a little so you're all up to speed with it on Landyzone. I've got a more detailed thread running over here on AULRO.com.. under the name of 'Monster 6 Turbo Diesel into 101' but if anyone is planning it, allow time...

Ah... So he knows a man who can! Dare I ask more re the One Oh One....?

Langers, the other thing that is needed in a 101 is that the engine you choose must have the Bosch VE rotary fuel injection pump.... If you use an engine with the larger in line injection pump, it will mean one of two things... Either your passenger is going to have a lump in the right of their...

Langers, Pressbrake is on the money. 6Bt and ZF is already long. I studied Nicks conversion pics before I did mine, and knew it was going to be tight. I have sat the nose of the engine approx 100mm behind the face of the radiator (still in its original location) so I could fit a decent engine...
