Camel_Landy Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 What happened to the Cobra then? Anyway, I think it has already been mentioned but the old SD1 gearbox is the LT77. This gearbox was also used in LandRovers & Range Rovers for a number of years (which is where I know it from). The R380 was the successor to this. The LT77 is basically a 4 speed box, the 5 speed units have the 5th gear added on almost as an after thought. The R380 is based on the same design though overall it's a stronger box (I think the 380 signified the amount of torque it's designed to take). The R380 has a number of known niggles but as long as you've got the cross drilled final drive gear and you run it on fully synthetic engine oil, it should be OK. BTW - You've also got the option of running an oil cooler on the box too. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james grayley Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 hello mr hilux... what year is it? I have a feeling the rear suspension may actually be triumph based?! which probably isnt going to cheer you up much.... as for 'they' allowing you in their forums, i wouldnt bother, been trying for about two years.... still no sign of acceptance or a decent insult... i have a g27 build manual knocking about if you want need one, it has details of the live axle set up as well as the later sierra irs set-up. Ill dig it out and see if its any help.... was that the car that was for sale in the w yorks area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 It *must* be a 27. G4's are rear engined, IIRC, and I doubt there's enough at the back of a G4 for an eight banger........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, it was the aeroscreen that intrigued me me (I think Blatters knows everything about everything, cant someone give him a test on something he doesnt know........................like how to grow a prize winning marrow, why are your socks always inside out when you go to put them on, when youve washed up why is there always a teaspoon left.........................)

stu999 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 It *must* be a 27. G4's are rear engined, IIRC, and I doubt there's enough at the back of a G4 for an eight banger........ Well Blatters was *nearly* right. That G4 is deffo front engined, although there probably isnt room for an 8 banger in the back......

Blatman Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Possibly getting my G4's mixed up with my G12's......... I have a cold, so my brain has clearly been addled...... Oh, BTW, prize winning marrows are easy. LOTS of water. Same for melons.... Socks thing is just sods law..... I have a dishwasher.......
