New off road motor

[96terrano]

wait till it is finished there is a lot more to come yet, Rick

i look forward to seeing it:naughty:jump

I know, I've been in my back door trying to mod it for fuel tanks and hi-lift jack etc. Damn bkts everywhere :doh

Nissan did a good job, you can imagine the G forces on that door with a wheel on that stand out bracket going over a large lump in the road, don't help us modifiers though does it, Rick

Well, you could always turn it into storage space like I did, there's a thread here somewhere

did on my last one, it was where I kept all my shackles, but fans in side were far too noisy so this is a better option, Rick

Don't like having recovery gear in the back incase I get stuckdown a hole against a tree or cant open door .So reachable from the front fo me. Weight kept low so under my seats :thumb2
Shackles on the passenger grab rail , strops under seat and then the rest of the stuff in the back

Comming along nicely!

Same here, it's quite remarkable how many different designs people come up with, here:clap no terrano/maverick is the same

 

[solarman216]

Fans mounted today though not sealed yet

 

[solarman216]

rad and pipes inside rear door, top up bottle not yet mounted and flexi foam sealing to rad/door not yet fitted

 

[makeitfit]

nice

 

[solarman216]

pipes under rear seats, a passenger safety box will be mounted over the rubber joints the white pipes are steel the others are copper I would have silver soldered them but could not do it in situ reliably, and it made them too long to feed in if I did it on the bench

 

[solarman216]

rad feed pipes in engine bay

 

[96terrano]

how do they go into the engine bay? , it there not a lot of pipe bends?

 

[solarman216]

Whoops, when welding outside top bar some molten metal must have rolled down and set fire to the wing trim, I was thinking of taking em off anyway before they got torn of a Slindon, lucky I had co2 extinguisher handy

 

[solarman216]

the makings of the new inboard fuel tank, will be mounted behind OS passenger seat

like this, and looks like I got a leak, must have got damaged as these pipes are from the other car

how many litres will it hold? also, will you use the original filler, just re route it into the new tank?
