Collectindust240Z Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Has anyone here ever considered modifying a pathfinder rear end for a straight axle conversion? They have a 9.3 inch ring gear and are already set up for a 4/5 link. Just a random thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaty69Maro Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Sounds like a pretty interesting idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collectindust240Z Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 yeah, I just bought a couple of Pathfinders, and the rear end looks promising for a variety of swaps. And they're dirt cheap too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombarace14 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Most of the trucks were 4.56 geared so it might be nice. Only bad thing would be 6 bolt hubs. Unless these are older pathfinders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collectindust240Z Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 You're right, they are 6 bolt hubs. Most guys are drag racing straight axle Zs, so why not just buy 6 bolt wheels? I don't know, I'm never going to do it, just thought it would be a neat idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collectindust240Z Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 You'd probably have to run steelies to get matching front & rear wheels or maybe you could get the axles redrilled by a machine shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
