sandman Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I have a Nissan T case mated to a manual tranny out of a newer Nissan Truck. Is this the one needed for the front axle conversion or is there a different divorced version that is needed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 How tough is the conversion to a T-case? What drivelines does one use? Is there a write up on the transformation somewhere? Just thinking out loud...nothing planned? Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 The divorced transfer case from an 80-85 datsun/nissan 720 4x4 is required, along with the intermediate, and front/rear driveshafts. You might also want the tcase mount to adapt in or use as a guide. Other choices are the lada niva ft4wd tcase, and the suzuki case. Heres an earlier thread outlining the different transfer cases: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23478&highlight=tcase How tough? Much tougher than doing a standard subframe lift. In addition to making the 8"+ subframe/strut lift blocks, you have to incorporate custom motor mount brackets, brackets to hold a rear diff up front, and a mount for the tcase, which involves running tube from the front blocks to the rear in order to make a solid may of mounting the case. I chose to weld the square tubing on the inside of the unibody (through the floorboards). Another thing I'd like to add is that if you build a 6+" lift and don't want to go with the tcase initially, you can do the tcase conversion later without redoing all your blocks, you just have to add the brackets to lift the motor back to stock height relative to the body, and mount the diff/tcase.
