what kind of Tyre/rim combination you plan to run?

525isport · Postby **525isport** » November 5th, 2012, 7:13 am

stock for now, but when the funds are available these rotas grid off roads are looking good

^nice...

525isport · Postby **525isport** » November 8th, 2012, 12:44 pm

well the intercooler isnt hooked up and the radiator needs to be custom built,the wiring isnt finished BUT IT DRIVES !!! :mrgreen:

yep got the drive shaft made and i hooked up a c33 rad i had ,filled a bucket with gas and a fuel pump and drove it forward about 20 - 30 feet in the yard and back. steering is soft ,alternator charging,clutch is soft and gears are smooth .

sorry no video , i was alone at the time

that looks like a good deal and it would fit nicely in the frontier ,but the aftermarket is limited for performance upgrades later on

droppa wrote:project looking real good boi, like u aiming to finish before years end!!!!!!!

thanks ,i wish i could finish by then but time and money will tell . its getting expensive now cuz untill now i did alot of the fabrication at home but now its ,pay to get the rad built ,buy boost gauge ,buy intercooler pipes and hoses,buy K&N air filter, pay to build new exhaust system .and the list goes on .LOL

pics of intercooler hooked up. also bought a walbro fuel pump and installed it in the tank (no pics though)

Van driving on the road this morning . we bolted the tray back hooked up the autometer boost gauge . had to move the whole yard around to get it out from where it was but it was worth it ,loads of power and the sound is amazing without a muffler system on it . also the HKS blowoff is sounding nice . boost is only @ 5 psi but will be buying a boost controller to bump it to 10psi soon .my brother in law took a video but i have to get it from him . here is a pic of it turned around after the drive

525isport · Postby **525isport** » December 24th, 2012, 4:17 pm

here is the video . its not the best quality and sorry for the long wait for the return pass there was alot of traffic ..i also await the comments about the body style

It really is time to lower it.....would have been awesome on a 4x4 trail though.

nope its not the usual frontier . the king cab is rare in Trinidad

black start · Postby **black start** » December 24th, 2012, 10:24 pm

yes it is, I've only seen one or two tbh.

when you drop down, the van going and look all kinds of mean.

525isport · Postby **525isport** » December 26th, 2012, 7:20 am

anybody know where to check for a set of 18" rims and tires for the van ...no chrome though i cant afford the Rota grid off road that i want so have to make do with something else

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » December 26th, 2012, 7:53 am

One of those mods has a nice set. Came of his frontier
*edit saw they are 20"*

best bet is check a local rim shop

525isport · Postby **525isport** » December 26th, 2012, 6:09 pm

yea i know the ones your talking about if they were 18" i would have taken them. when the van finished i will pass in a few shops and see what looks good on it .
