Ok well i am at cross roads with my zook atm.

i have 2 options to go with.
#1 Keep it basically as it is, put some beef cake mounts on the rear diff, (have them now) add rear locker air. keep front open, and some double black flairs
i used to have this set up with VERY few times the capability has let me down. always kept up with the big trucks and have had very few breakages, the only real ones were recovering bigger trucks that i DON'T do anymore!

#2, wide track rear diff, with coiler mounts, mini spool rear, front housing modded to take wt gear, front locker, cromo's 33's etc etc, this option is going to be a whole lot more on the budget and make it a whole lot more cop bait.

keep in mind i am a long way from tassie (where the car is rego'd) so defects are going to fuck me over pretty bad. re rego in nsw etc...

Option 2 is going to be my path, but with an auto locker in the back.

[SuziBlu]

What are you trying to do, bit more info needed.

[jonno_racing]

id very much like to comp the zook. but its my only car atm! however i have 3 months with no license (see no job as well) i can do most of the fab work myself.

i am thinking of going path #1 atm then once i have new job and daily/tow rig etc go down path #2.

but just wondering what others opinions are.

[TryHard]

hey man do what im doing its rather cheap but it will let u do some small comps and u should do rather well ..

depending on your budget do ..

2 x auto lockers front / rear ..
26 spline cromolys
RUF
2 inch body lift
Elliptical rear
33s
6.5s transgears
cut wheel archs ..or take hammer to it .
and run 31s when u dont play comes or play to hard all so keep it clean and tidy

.. i know how u feel id love to comp my zook to but is my only car .. keep it clean

in a ideal world id go 3 link front and rear ..with coil overs hilux diffs 37s
and air locks .. and ute chop the rear

i did not realise its a coily gezz lol bin it then

[jonno_racing]

have a look at my build.
i already have 6.5s and 31" tsl's
just not sure to go bigger or not. its very rare i get stuck or break it. i think i might go for it as is.. do a comp and go from there....

Yerp would be a good start .. but what kinda comps do u want to do ..

[tanshi]

if you comp it without doing chromos you will break it, guarenteed.

31s on sierra diffs you are going to get hung up on stuff, least if your comps are any thing like ours.

it all depends how much you wanna be compeditive. me forexample i dont do anything half assed, if i go into something i goin attempting to win. you may be different

a mate bought a $350dollar LJ, threw some 31s on it and came away with a trophy the first time we comped it. but we didnt go out to win.

[jonno_racing]

general short course stuff. id love to have a go at wilowglen. but i will find something a bit easier on my zook first!

not going out to win. just to have some fun!
i dont have a front locker atm and have yet to break a front cv yet.

hey Stupid Question but how Different are the Coil Diff centres and the SJ70 Centres .. im guessing u Cant Just swap the centres over can u ..
that would be to simple .. ..
Im guessing u need the whole SJ70 Diff and weld the coily mounts onto it etc etc

[tanshi]

the coily rear diff centre is the same as a sj70.

front diff is an odd ball. high pinion. If you could bolt up an SJ70 diff cetre you dont think the coily owners would have figured it out by now?

yes thats why i said stupid question lol ... theres still no way to mix mach the cage etc ? .. why did Suzuki do this any reason

[tanshi]

you can custom machine a jimny diff to fit airlockers aparently.

but why bother when WT diffs will do the job for cheaper

you kind of can.
well it bolts in.
wt axels are 2 short. i have been thinking of cutting housing down.. not as dodgey as it seems. i just cant dont know if i can be bothered. lots of work!

this is what i am talking about in option 2.

I was led to believe the ratio's were different between WT and Coily though?

[jonno_racing]

coiler is 3.9 like nt

[Rusho]

Just throw a WT front under the front of it ya stubborn prick

[atari4x4]

who suggested RUF'ing a coily

[steve]

If you're going to change diffs and do comps, you may aswell screw some hilux diffs inplace of the coily diffs

x3

or you could just go a whole wt diff setup and get spacers to match the width of the rear. It would be a lot easier then shortening a diff and rotating knuckles etc like you had planed.

[jonno_racing]

there is a lot off ways i could go. lux is defenanty there. however id need 35s to make up 4 loss.
atm its looking like a lot of work 4 medium gain.

[shakes]

I'd work toward option two.

WT front diff to start with. When you blow a centre smack an airlocked one in their with cro-mo's.

When you current tires wear out then go 33's and upgrade your rear.

If you plan on staying in NSW find the local engineer and chat with him to see what he's happy with you doing.

[Lockie666]

Option1. Cheaper and it still stays a coily.
