Haha we will make them fit, they cant be much wider than the factory pulleys so im sure we will get them in.

Endevour engineering in tauranga make them, You just have to send them your crank pulley so they can balance the harmonic balancer, sounds complicated to me.

Thanks, will be very similar to your garage

Heres what I got back today and chucked them in to see what the will look like
Hopefully we get the diff back this week, then the ute will be mobile again in a couple weeks to get it outside.

Heres a pic of one for you. Yes they are very well made.

Update time...

Got the Diff back home a couple weeks back, needs a strip down for painting and will get pics or two up soon.
Crossmember and suspension parts have been sandblasted and mostly painted. Took some bolts to tauranga to get pasivated gold, they look really good now. Got U bolts and some other stuff to get done when holidays are finished.

Good start to the new year looking on trade me we found a complete datsun ute with running gear stripped out for panel and paint. The guy has other commintments this year so he had to sell it. We couldnt let this go at the price he was asking for it.

Ute has reg on hold, cert for lowering A15 5speed etc. Has rust in places tho but we're just going to hang on to it and decide later what to do with it.

Heres a pic

I saw that.
It was VERY good buy too.

Yay update time on the project.

Diff has been in for a while and was waiting to get pics of the ute outside before posting some up. Ute has no engine in it but it should drop the front abit with the weight in there, plus lowering blocks will be in the back to even it all out. Dont laugh at the threaded rod U bolts, they just tempory for now.
Front shocks have been sorted and have adjustables and camber plates as in previous pics.
Ute is now mobile so it can be moved for more work to be done on it now, finally.
And we picked up one of the new rear quarters from nissan the otherday, they are just waiting for the drivers side panel to turn up then we will have that to

Nice work. Do you mind saying how much the camber plates cost you? I could be keen on a set!

What did back gaurds cost if you don't mind saying
