Jimny Trayback

Yummy

Finally getting around to making the "Brazillian Job" snorkel......I think the GRP one is the one I'll go with.






Also checked the adaptor plate to fit the six speed gearbox....I need 2 of these one for each jimny.



I'll have to remember to use Al for it 20mm thick.

Testing the snorkel fit against a wing....happy days!

Nice, that's proper nice

Loving the snug fit snorkel!


Is it the toyota/lexus J160 transmission you are using?

I see the ratios are pretty similar to the R7me box, except 6th is where 5th is on the Jimny box. Kind of like an extra gear between third and fourth. It should help with acceleration, but I dont think it will do anything much for the top end speed.

There is a website I found with details about swapping in a Nissan 6th gear to lower the ratio...

"One modification that’s known to work well is to use the 6th gear-set sourced from the Nissan S15 AZ6 gearbox and fit into one of the Toyota gearboxes. The J160 uses originally uses a 0.869:1 ratio compared to the Nissan gear-set with it’s 0.767:1 ratio. This results in lower engine revs for the same vehicle speed during the use of the 6th gear."

If you are making adapters, would you be able to squeeze in a third for me? Pretty please? :whistle:

I am also in need of some of your newer front wheel arches next time you are at the vac former

Not sure what a 160 is.....this has the same 5th as the jimny.....6th is higher.

Arches like these?
