got to have a good look at the case tonight. I have got to make a call but I think I am going to send it back.
the oil that is left in it is black, and it definitely looks like its been apart, also I cant even get the speedo sensor out to swap it for mine, wouldn't have to if the wires weren't farked! not happy jan.....

So i spent most of yesterday and some of thismoring swapping the transfer cases over 
now firstly as a reference i was supplied a transfer case from a 2010 YD25 powered D22, a quick email to garry from Nizzbits confirmed that the part number are the same from 2003 onwards for T/c's, This is correct as both stickers on top of them have VK400 as the part number.
So i swapped them over and everything fitted where it should.
I then went for another test 4x4, now with the transfer doing what it should and the lokka in the front it is wild offroad, it seems like there is now stopping it now, you can take everything slower and with more control, Love it!
I also out of curiosity took off the back of the old transfer case to look at the stretched chain, I took some pics that are below, as you can see it has alot of slack which cannot be normal!!
so happy days now that i have full 4x4 again!!
Cheers

Looks like my cain before I swapped it over for a new one. Swapping the chain is a pain in the arse as it is very hard to get the brings and gears off which hold the fork on. Once these are off its easy to swap the chains over, getting everything back together is also a pain as it is hard to get the metal clips back on as well as hammering the gears and bearings back on.

yeah when i could get a case for $380 i couldn't justify buying just a chain!
Wreckers here in WA wanted $660+ and that was for a T case swap. Im not sure how hard it was to take the whole case out but I'm guessing it was easier than swapping the chain. All up it took me 3 full days to do it.

So i picked up some more goodies this week, 1st is a tigerz11 awing, 2m along the car and 2.5m out, got it for $179 on their EOFY sale so im pretty happy with that, here are some pics.
i mounted the brackets downwards as i didnt like the awning up in the air with the brackets facing up, but had to move the awning up on the bracket by drilling new holes.

Hand / manual throttle
So last weekend i picked up a hand throttle cable from a early v6 d22 with intention to chop it up and fit it to my car to use for winching and smoother more controlled offroading. Total cost for this mod was $22 for the cable. I can now get a idle of about 1500rpm which i think will work well when needed.
so this is what you will start with
The mechanism
I the removed the accelerator assy and drilled a 3mm hole at the top to feed the hand throttle cable through
Hand throttle in place, is easier to do out of the car!
more to come

Cable through the pedal, the brass bit is a electrical bp connecter out of its plastic.
In place
In place and at full throttle the cable moves away to the top
Making use of THAT hole in the dash

Nice work.
I am assuming you're a sparky, going by the BP.
