Here is a picture of what we are starting with. My 1996 Nissan x-cap.I'm getting tired of the nose bleeds and i'm about to change that!

First we are going to locate our torsion key and bolt.It should be located right below your door mirrors and behind your frame.Here is a picture of what a torsion key and bolt look like.

Next we are wanting to get a 9mm wrench and ratchet.First use the wrench to loosen the bottom bolt and take it off. Next use the same wrench to loosen the top nut far enough to where you may use your ratchet.This is what lowers your vehicle

Now after you get both sides completed, you will notice that your front bumpstopps are slammed against your control arms.The easiest way to get them off is to lower your truck first so they won't be turning with your nut. Get a 3mm wrench or ratchet and loosen the top nut untill it comes off, then jack your truck up and they will slide off. Here is what you end up with.

Now all you have to do is order some new bumpstops and some lowering blocks for the back and you are done. The blocks i ordered are 3" angled blocks.

Now here is a diagram courtacy of nissanminis.com on how to install your blocks correctly.

Here is what we end up with. No more nosebleeds, just the fresh smell of burnt rubber and pavement!!

ive pinned the topic and we will see how we go,
any comments/complaints please pm myself.

tis awesome addition!

are bump stops required for a roadworthy?

yes

what about resetting leafs? can they only be reset legal a certain amount? for roadworthy

1/3 of original travel..

Luxy, when did you get that Nav?

edit

the bolt is usually on or near the gearbox crossmember .. which is where the gearbox is mounted and held, cant really get more self explanitory then that!

so is it near the gearbox or near the wheel?

middle- to back of gearbox ... not on the actual geabox tho.. not that u are that stupid :|

herd from the holden dealaship that is was 2" thats all your aloud to drop it.

hey guys i got a 86 model hilux extra cab and i tryed to do the flip the leafs ova drop on the rear trust me it was low but diff was hard up under chasy had bout a quater of my 17s under the gards looked gud but just about the same amount of trouble u have to go to for bags to get it to work shmicko i pulled out afetr doign 1 side and took it back to the normal with 3 inch bloocks and well with the leaf drop ur guna need chasy cut out and hsit and exhaust rebent but is well worth it id say

Hi guys
Brand new member here..
I have a 1991 Nissan Navara, yesterday Wound down the Torsion bar in the front and its sitting all sweet now, But i have a problem with the Rear, i have 40mm lowering blocks, Or so everyone deems them to be, but i want to drop that rear and cant figure out how to.
It seems like it has been raised.. but has lowering blocks in.. I read this "Some types of trucks have a rear axle that rides above the leaf spring. Installing lowering blocks on a truck like this will actually raise the rear of the truck." and is this the case for me?

Here are two pictures of my ute


Info would be very much appreciated[attachmentid=632973][attachmentid=632974]

take the blocks out n flip the leaf pack u will love it

uve got like a 1 inch block in there dude take them out n replace them with 3 or 4 inch blocks, or get your springs reset

i have got 3" lowering blocks in my 93 lux they have been in there for 3 yrs but the spring set up is starting to make a cracking squeeking noise when i take off at lights ... what could be the problem is it the lowering blocks or shackle and pin problem ??

the problem?
you've had the springs compressed past what they're reset to for 3 years

cant be good for them

cheers mate i will get some quotes for them to be reset cheers

hey ppl, iv got a 1988 nissan patrol 4.2 originally non turbo now with a turbo fitted, just wondering if any one knows if
i can fit a B.O.V?? thanks

petrol - yes just fit it like any other car with a bov. place bov after the turbo and t piece of a vacuum line
diesel - apparently some people have done it but fucks me how.

why would you want a bov on a 4wd? just one more thing to get clogged and fucked with mud and dirt
