FJ gets NISSAN diffs & suspension using a 3D Scanner. Barra FJ EP#6

[@jamesgroessler1053]

So great to see the Cr scan raptor worked flawlessly. I grabbed one of these last month for replicating car interior plastics. I guess now I will be scanning engine bays, diffs ect.😊😊

[@DesignedandBuilt]

They are an awesome bit of kit!!! Enjoy it.

[@TobiasPowell-u3e]

Richard, you're a bloody legend. That turbo makes a lot of sense.

[@marksmith3631]

Awesome work - keep it up. Luv the way all the fab "keys" together, stronger, easier install. Luv the thought process behind it all - having it run off CAD 1st

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Cheers Mark!

Absolutely loving this build and the design work that goes into it.

Should be really nice! A little step up from Barra GU!!!

Amazing work. 3D scanner definitely some good tech to have in the shed.

I really enjoy this type of content, really similar to the track I want to go down when I finish my degree in 2 years. Also love the thorough explanations on everything, keep up the Good shit Richo

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy it, get that degree over and done with 👌🏽🎓

[@DavidWilson-jv9vh]

As a land surveyor who does a lot of scanning in my line of work it’s quite interesting to see scanners used in the automotive engineering space too. It’s exactly the same process scan the building/structure then modelled in CAD for design work.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Yep exactly! What a handy piece of equipment!

Awesome work, amazing quality, Q, any reasons for not to going to a flipped radius arm? rather than conventional since making them from scratch? Just wondering what your reasons were, as I'm still trying to make my mind up on flipping or going Superior Hyp Links? Cheers

[@SaltyBVibes]

🔥🔥🔥

[@DarrylOCD]

Love it!, give Batiste dry shampoo aerosol a go. I found it has a more even, better coverage. Naturally just water removes it (or compressed air) and a bonus it smells good too.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Thanks mate, I'll give it a go. I did enjoy getting drunk off the fumes 🤣

[@DarrylOCD]

@@DesignedandBuilt 😂 alcohol fumes... That bad type of good.

Scanner and a plasma table it appears there is no limit to what’s possible

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Extremely handy tools indeed!

[@tomleslie-q4x]

Hey Mate, love the videos! Tech question re Panhard rod length and overall mount deign. Why do different OEs do it slightly differently even within their own models. Is there variables other than packaging that would cause this? For example 79 series is out board of the rail and is longer on the drivers side upper mount than 80 /105 series that is within the rail. both have a similar lower mount locations Suzuki and Nissan also have their own ideas on it all. Have the 79 and current Jimny gone longer in attempt to help with bump steer? or is there other factors at play also? Thank You!

[@tomleslie-q4x]

Also have questions re coil over placement in regard to centre line of the diff any concern with roll and bush wear in the radius arms as in a standard setting the coil is over the centre line of the housing.

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Hey Tom, I’m not familiar enough with those vehicles to comment, I would imagine packaging though, it also dictates the roll centre height which may have something to do with it!

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Not overly concerned, if it was a bit easier to package it all I would have tried but I guess we’ll find out!

[@dan5her]

Dry shampoo works well too for scanning

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Cheers Dan, I'll give it a go as well!

[@ApelesMudd]

I appreciate your efforts! 🙏 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I have a set of words 🤷‍♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What should I do with this? 🤷‍♂️

[@DesignedandBuilt]

[@BitsandPiecesNZ]

What diameter are the 7075 links? And what size threads are you cutting? Cheers

What's the reason for not going flipped arms?

[@cjlocsin12]

How you do you convert graphics body into a solidworks solid body? Do you sketch over the scanned data and extrude to match the profile of the scanned data? Do you have to do a lot of mesh manipulation and conversion to achieve this?

[@DesignedandBuilt]

I don’t convert it to a solid body. Just sketch over the scanned data and make a profile!

[@cjlocsin12]

Thanks! I’ve done my first scan and to create planes I 3D sketch and use the mesh vertices to create a plane. But the planes always end up on the piss. 😂 Any advice on making these reference planes?

[@DesignedandBuilt]

@@cjlocsin12 I do exactly the same thing! Quick and dirty but works well.

[@equestrianalways6132]

Only looks like about 60mm up travel?

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Closer to 200mm The Oil pickup on the Barra is quite limiting.

[@robotafflicition]

So what happens to all these patrols that are now diff-less? I’ll put my own diffs in I just want a GQ patrol chassis here in the USA 😂

[@DesignedandBuilt]

Haha mate those chassis are probably snapped in half rusting away in a junkyard! 🤣 Are you sure you want one?

[@robotafflicition]

@@DesignedandBuiltso in the US we never got the cool Japanese sports cars, now that they’re legal here there’s lots of people that import them. I might be able to get a clean GQ imported from Japan by one of those businesses 🤔

if you accidentally put that on the MWB build there I wont mind.
