Only thing I could find was some French music guy haha

Hell yeah!

I’ll usually get it right first go, but it’s pretty easy with coilovers. Working with normal springs sucks when you’ve got to send the info off to another company and hope they do the right thing and pay them before you find out. It’s a bit of a compromise with ride height vs uptravel, something has to give, if you want it low there’s no room for uptravel, 6” might make it a monster truck but in some cases you can make it work at a good ride height

Glad you enjoyed it

Hey Zac, yeah it’s on our website mate

Will do mate, will probably cover that in an upcoming episode. Just had some great news towards engineering I’m excited to talk about 👍

Good questions mate

Cheers, Rick!

Good questions mate we’ll cover them both when I go see nick 👍

Front or rear I would usually say rear in an 80, as the front is a lot more stiff than the rear

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah me too man, I reckon it’s a lot more noticeable and easy to change on a bike so more guys play with it and work it out hey. Haven’t seen it, so not sure!

I figured you’d know what’s up 🤟

Cheers mate! I was abit unsure about this one cause it’s a pretty dry topic unless your into it. This is could have been a lot longer but I thought no one would stick around haha. If it’s in a standard setup, usually I just go full bump and full droop and see if there’s something that will limit the bar, like on a patrol rear, short links make the bar roll back and hit the centre on droop, but long links make it roll forward on uptravel and hit the snout of the centre, so you really need to find the length that works in the full range. Ideally your aswaybar arms would be pretty much level at half travel, but that doesn’t always work in a standard car setup

@@mattkinsela thanks for the reply mate. Yeah that makes sense. In my particular case i have an 80 that use to have big lift but I've taken it back down to 2 inch but because I'm still getting familiar with the 80 I've been unsure if it was ever changed from factory length (being that it was 4 inch i would assume it would be different). But I'll be checking that today. Thanks again mate keep the awesome content coming.

No worries, Jim!

It depends on the suspension and what you want vs what the springs are, I used to run a sway bar in the rear of my coil front leaf rear Hilux as that’s where I felt it needed it. But not all will be the same. Most leaf setups are pretty good at resisting roll already lol

Haha yeah you’re not wrong hey. I guess the level of customisation isn’t there like in the states where every second house has a car with a set of one tons under their jeep or pickup haha. So a lot of standard stuff still works for us

Great question, we will go through this when I go see nick and we build my shocks!

Will do!

Obviously not the case for all cars and uses but a good base line I reckon. Cheers mate

Maybe one day!

That’s it mate!

100%

Great information once again, always learn from these sessions. So glad you mentioned the sway bars, made such a big difference to handling on my 105 and missus 120 prado .. if you hate body roll when driving a range with tight corners like we have to, decent sway bars improve handling so much, I believe they are worth every cent and so often get over looked.

Yeah watching that is always funny 😂😂

Awesome man

Glad it was helpful!

Yeah I understand what you’re asking. No it doesn’t, they can swing up past horizontal without any ill effects. (As long as there’s nothing above to hit them lol) The benefit of them being flat and also having similar up and down travel, means the diff doesn’t move side to side very much in its full range, vs starting on like a 40 degree angle and then dropping the diff 6 inches it’ll swing across the car quite a lot!

@@mattkinsela Great this cleared things up heaps thanks for the response!

Thanks mate. Will do!

Jmac diff and gear

Yeah sure is! Just don’t hit it in reverse 😂

After mincing a few stock diffs up front​, i went with a locker and solid spacer and never had an issue for 10 plus years and hard wheeling and touring that was in one of my old 79series with the factory 1fz, 35s and a nice big turbo n haltec giving a comfy 700nm at the treads and 7k of rpm. Giving it the berrys in all different terrains from the huge sand dunes of Lancelin WA limi bashing to the vic high country and up blue mountain tracks, nothing wrong with the cruiser diffs but i can see the size difference and use for them in comp trucks@mattkinsela

No unfortunately not they need to be the ones to suit the Nissan centee

Yeah I only measured the difference between the Toyota front and rear casings, but one of the guys at work who unfortunately drives a patrol pointed it out the next day. I’ll have to raise it up when I pull the housing out to brace etc. well spotted

Yeah I can probably do one next time I have one in the shop mate

Hey frank, you’re right starting from scratch like this it would have been, maybe not if it’s already a car with rcvs etc set up. I did it to keep my wheels in the guards on the 60 body, the Gu diff being wider was no good.

Will be on our website asap mate

@@mattkinsela thank you !

There you go mate, this ring, a new front hat and have to do some Tailshaft stuff or swap pinion flanges and your golden

@@mattkinsela who sells the ring ?

@@mattkinsela and is this possible for rear ??

@@seanmyles4484 you will be able to get it in our website at Kinsela’s kustoms soon. You can do the rear, I’ve not done it though, it’s probably easier

@@mattkinsela sounds good cheers legend good vids 🤙

Will be on our website www.kinselaskustoms.com.au asap mate

Hey nick, yeah the locker makes it an easy swap hey! Yeah I have since been informed, I only measured the difference between Toyota hi pinion and Toyota rear when I fitted it. Typical Nissan, couldn’t work out how to make it scavenge oil efficiently so just raise the fill plug, she be right 😂

Yeah will definitely go through it in an episode there’s been heaps of people asking about it

Same size centre mate!

Will be on our website - Kinsela’s kustoms - this week

Depends what your putting it under, it would be too wide for this build, so a lot of work if I had to make it narrower

@@mattkinsela ah okay - I didn’t even think about overall width as an issue 🤦🏻‍♂️ thanks mate 👍🏻

When I designed all the suspension I made allowance for the stretch in the mounts
