the g63 is actually a pretty shitty suv hinges all suck out the factory they have very large gaps on doors hood not worth the money they asking far from it
I 'm in New Zealand and i like your channel. I'm a mechanic too. I have done a lot of work on Nivas over the years. You need to find information on driveshaft "Phasing".The relationship of the universal joints to each other. This is important to eliminate vibrations . A lot of vibrations come from the alignment of the transfer case with the gearbox. Put the car on the hoist and start the motor and put it in second gear and adjust the idle up to 2000 rpm. Lift the car and loosen off the 4 bolts that for the transfer case. Put a jack under the transfer case and move it up and down, left and right until the vibration goes away. Then you can measure the the thickness of the shims that you will need to make to go between the chassis and the transfer case mounts. They are never right when they leave the factory. Doing this will stop your teeth rattling loose in your mouth. Check the bolts that hold the front differential to the motor as they need to be taken off and a hole drilled across the head so you can lock wire them. They come loose and damage the threads. The Lada brake master cylinder is poor design with square section seals . We replaced them when they wore out with a Nissan or Honda brake master cylinder that has the same diameter cylinder and bolt pattern. It feels a lot better. We had problems with the rear brake adjusters coming loose . The Spring washer in them breaks. We welded a strip of steel to the adjuster and drilled a hole into the outside end and through the backing plate. You take the screw out and re drill the holes as they wear. The Lada is surprisingly good offroad Have fun with your Lada.
Most likely would blow differentials into peaces, or something else would give in. In straight sure it would work but on the cornering something will give if there is enough traction.
I was going to recommend the same idea. But i figured i would check the comment section first and sure enough you though of it as well. Great minds think alike. Have a good day.
How about a long distance road trip with it. Take the gang and document all the crazy adventures, sights, people, breakdowns and repairs along the way, you know, Garage 54 style. I’d love to see more of Russia and its people!
@@ReinhardSchuster just like the mtm bimoto tho he would need the front engine to power the front wheels while the back engine powering the back wheels so there would be equal 4x4 distribution would be cool to see this convertion
A little trick I picked up from an old timer and it works well is to drill a hole in the tube of the prop shaft and put a few ml of transmission fluid in the tube. This will help take most of the vibration out of the prop shaft. Then plug the hole with a rubber plug. The fluid will go to the unbalanced spot in the shaft.
That's good for balancing but the problem here is that U joints are not constant velocity and if they aren't straight they speed up and slow down as they rotate. U joints are meant to be straight except for tiny amounts of time when you go over bumps. CV joints use different geometry so the shaft spins at a, well, constant velocity. Here they just called it vibration to simplify the explanation
6x, 2 and 1/2 ton (deuce) took us through anything. Sand drifts, ice, snow and up mountains. I passed the driving school to get out of Winter guard duties but ended doing both..Great car concept. Hope I never need one.
Awesome! Instead of buying 6 new tires, you should just make a cheap pair of tank tracks for the rear 4 wheels. I think you could probably make a simple track out of two chain loops and a bunch of rubber slats from old tires. Put it on, tighten it up and show us what it can do! :-D

That’s fantastic! Will be a whole lot better with good tires. I think some more ground clearance would greatly improve its performance. It may also make the driveshaft angles easier to dial in! Cheers! Love the paint
The only thing you need is lift it a few inches for better ground clearance, new winter tires, and as already been stated some extra weight in the back and this thing would be great in the snow!
you guys should try adding some sort of track over the back two tires like a snomobile or tank. that would give you a ton of contact surface and i dont think you guys would have a hard time figuring out how to do that
This should be properly manufactured model, but sadly least in here you wont be getting it road legal with out spending absolute fortune and for that money you get road legal 6x6 armored transport.
It would go well with snow mobile tracks on the rear. Just deflate the tires ,slide the track on and adjust tire pressure for tension. Awesome project guys!
What if you guys put the 2nd transfer case centered between the 2 rear axles, flip the furthest forward rear axle over and have its input facing rearward? That way you wont need such harsh u joint angles as the outputs will be fairly straight and will only need to move when the rear axles flex, not a constant bend. You could use a cable to shift it since it would be so far behind you. This will also help your rear end weight problem as the 2nd transfer case will be directly over the rear axles....it would be unsprung weight but in this case i doubt it would matter much.. Love how you guys git r done
My screen saver is three of my Lada Nivas parked together at crazy angles, one half up a tree, so of course I like, subscribe and drink to your health!
All it really needs is it good set of tires, and possibly a set of chains. Weight is good if you don't need flotation such as deep snow mud or sand. (Or mpg). But regardless it comes down to traction. Part of the reason a 6 x 6 has potential. But as with everything it's only as good as the weakest link. My 1980 long wheelbase Hilux gets its weight not only from 44 by 17 inch tires. But another fuel tank has been relocated behind the axle as well. And the side tool boxes are position above the rear axle those boxes carry extra parts, tools and camping gear as well, keeping them secure and dry. There's then a custom shell over those for comfortable sleeping. Bottom line it has a near 50/50 weight distribution. But then it is lifted 10 in with 16 in of travel, a stage 3 stroker 22R, 5:29 gearing, lockers front and rear and a Marlin crawler. Which gives it 15 forward gears and three reverses. Yes I can double My Double Down get out and be my own spotter. I do have a 2000 Chevy Blazer I have more than once thought about converting to a 6 x 6. You may have just inspired me. LOL Perhaps build it with 36in tires and long travel suspension. With an EXO cage.
Put Tracks on the back Tires.. Problem is you need old WW2 rear axles off (Mercedes-Benz G4, WWII German Staff Car) www.hobbysta.eu/sklep_obrazki/Icm/icm35538_5.jpg www.militaryfactory.com/armor/imgs/daimler-benz-g4_3.jpg This car has axle you look for your car that will work..
I had a Lada Niva 4 x 4, from 1996 to 1999 ... as the real car. My other was Volvo V70 XC AWD ... It was Lada that I drove most most of the time due to weather and road conditions. The beauty of that car was that it was simple and functional ...it could be repaired on the roadside without any fuss ...yep, she was the queen ...
I don't want to bash anything or anyone, but the comment about replacing universal joints with CV's to eliminate drivetrain vibration is a load of nonsense. My family has a propshaft build/rebuild/repair shop, and the problem right here is the way in which the "new" propshafts were butchered together - cutting and simply welding. There is way more to it, and believe me - you can get very close to vibrationless shafts with universal joints in high and super high torque applications! The real issue here is that you do not use a proper inter-axle shaft. The current configuration will never be vibrationless, even with CV's.
Thank the Scorpions, Greatest German rock band Ever and David Hasselhoff . for bring down the berlin wall, so we could end the cold war and learn that these russians are Cool as F**k. and not a bunch of hazardous monsters. Crazy world. we live in. It's bigger than myself so i just gotta learn to lay back and watch the crazy
That was awesome! You took a niva! And made it way more capable and better!🍸🥴👍but is light because you dont have any weight or mud and snow tires. Otherwise it would do way better!
Hmm, if can a buy a T-34 series tank, call Garage 54, they can even make them on you, ( one of the best tanks off the ww2) woww. Greetings from finland =)
