Between transmission and transfer case?

Earlier U joints were smaller than the later ones. The 11 '83 and up were part number # 39625-N4125 and were all the same for the three driveshafts.

The May '85 and on rear driveshaft did use two U joints with a different number.

Take this number... # 39625-N4125 to NAPA (are usually good at this) and have them cross reference to a Moog, AC Delco or Spicer or whatever.

Try to get one with the grease fitting.

number posted shows up in Amazon search... Whether its right on that site or not is beyond me. Might be safer to buy at local so you can take back if not right.

The Z24 engine was never sleeved but otherwise yes....

.... he's crazy. OK maybe half crazy and he meant the SD25 engines. They were diesels and all were sleeved.

there's a difference between being opinionated and being wrong.

Thanks mike, just found a cheap 81' transfer case for sale and was thinking about going through it and rebuilding/cleaning it up for a future swap into my 85' if it ever gets tired. 

T cases get abuse. They are strong enough but the oil doesn't get checked/replaced and that's too bad.

The fact that you have to remove the skid plate to drain them doesn't help!

The windshield edge has tabs that fit into receivers doesn't it? Push fully towards windshield before tightening down the screws?

Many of these trucks have the receivers missing, the one I am working on now does have them though and I made sure to fully seat them. Just seem like once its out, it never wants to sit right again!

That's surprising,,,  most want to hit me over the head with a stick..

just because we want to club you doesn't mean we don't love you

Fortunately the 410 and 411 plenum is easy to clean.  2 screws and the slotted cover comes off.  Volkswagen heater hook up hose will direct the water to the ground and prevent any exhaust leaks from  entering the cabin.

My coupe doesn't leak any water.  My tan car leaked so bad it made a pool deep enough to short out my ECU under my seat.  End result was me finally getting around to swapping the turbo motor in.   So not a total loss. 

I posted a fix for leaky windscreen rubber a long time ago.  Use search.   RTV, sharp razor blade [or Xacto] and white vinegar.

They're all good. The '80 was the last year for the L20B so if you like L series get an '81. "81 and '82 are Z22 engines with a bit more torque. '83 and up have the largest Z24 gas engine and only came with 5 speeds. They all have the same transmissions, differentials and transfer cases so none are stronger than the others.. I like the look of the '85 grill so '85 for me. The ST option is a dress up truck with lots of comfort options like electric windows, sun roof.

Yes indeed!!! 2wd were like any other truck oil pan deeper in the middle to allow steering cross link to pass across the front, more or less like the 520/521 and 620. Z series engine 4X4s had a differential hump in the way so it was offset to the right for clearance.  Note below that this is an L20B 4x4 oil pan and they were offset to the left side, but you get the idea.

Well fuck me, Have been prepping for a KA24DE (frontier rear sump) Swap into an 85' 720 4x4. However This pretty much derails me as all the shops I work at ( I am a event scenery fabricator) are closed do to Covid bullshit. Anybody interested in a frontier KA with under 40k on the clock, lol! 

Intake flange or the entire intake???

Just the flange I traced and rendered for a ka24de. I was going to weld up my own intake but I am looking into full fabbing prices of a custom intake now...

I get $30 CDN for 2wd and 4wd.

I checked rockauto first: $120, then the standard parts places online, napa ect even ebay and they were all over $100. Thanks to Alexg89, he sent me that link to one for $38. Still blown away by the price, it is galvanized steel.. basically a piece of bent conduit!

Probably ok, slightly vanilla. The Z24 uses a 34/38 barrel carb. I would say get a weber 38/38 but don't care for the synchronous opening. Too performance oriented. If only it were progressive or vacuum secondary.

BTW Also putting a head off a 81' napz 2.2l on it if that makes any diff.

2.2 and 2.4 are identical gaskets.

unsure about Z20S/Z20E

sometimes they just plane wear out. new is ezer

^-- Cheers!

they are located at the top of the piston

Cute!

Nissan Part # 12033-37500. Standard bore (12036-37500 is 0.5mm over). Industrial supply places seem to have them, pretty pricey.

L is cheaper....

I wanna say a Ka but he's probably right

My entire KA rebuild (including cost of engine) cost me $800-900.
