Hi from the US! I'm sure I have e-mailed yall before about making a doubler for the Nissan TX10 transfer cases that we Nissans have over here in the United States. I was wondering if yall have attempted to try and make it. I would love to have one and I'm sure many of us Nissan folks here would too!!!

Hello,

Thanks for the Email.

As we do not have the transfer case that you want to adapt over here we do not get any demand for it.
There maybe a possibility that if you can get a batch of people who would like this adaptor made, then maybe Mark will look at doing one.
The only problem is that we do not have access to the type of transfer case you require.
I am not guaranteeing that he will defiantly do it, but it is a possibility if we can get a transfer case and you can get enough interest.
What you will need to do is send through a letter of request addressed to Mark.
You would probably need to get a solid 15 or 20 orders for this to happen.
As we do not have the TX10 transfer case over here you may have to look at sending one over to us.
It really depends how serious you are about this.
We would need to receive payment for all the orders before we could look at doing this adaptor.
Have you tried contacting Advance Adapters about this?.

I'v sent an e-mail to Advance adaptors a couple of days ago and it may take a while for me to get a reply back. I may have to call though. I am really serious about this but I must muster up a demand for it by those that are interested and committed to buying the adapter. What is an approximate cost and time frame for said adapter if I can get a good quote to have it developed?

Hello Cuong,

Thanks for the reply.

I will not be able to give you any costing as we have no idea what is involved in doing the yob.
Until we get a transfer case we have nothing to go on.
Same thing with the time frame, we do not know what is involved in making this or even if it is possible.

I am curious to know if AA would be able to produce a doubler kit for Nissan's TX10 transfer case. I know AA has been around for along time putting out high quality products and services for the growing 4-wheel drive community. Granted that I'm sure a limited stock would be sold but as AA may know already that Nissans have a very limited aftermarket support in the 4-wheel drive department and expensive parts due to the lack of support. 4-wheeling is an expensive hobby and what I've paid shows it: $1000+ for my 3.7:1 transfer case gears and ring and pinions can be priced at +$600.I understand that R&D is expensive and time consuming and it would require a reasonable demand to start and continue it. That demand is low because Nissans lack the support it needs and people go with what is proven and CHEAPER! Of course, everyone started off somewhere and things got cheaper as more companies try to compete with the market. I want to prove that Nissans can keep up with the Jeeps, Toyotas, and others out on the trails. It would be a blessing to see Advance Adapters INC add to Nissan's limited aftermarket support so that we (Nissan enthusiasts) can enjoy the great fun of wheeling the outdoors along with our other counterparts(Jeeps, Toyotas,etc.) I speak on behalf of the Nissan Enthusiasts out there to help give us a chance to compete on levels like the many Toyotas and Jeeps seen out there on the trails!

Cuong We have looked at doing a doubler kit for the tx10 case and determined it was not going to work as well as others. We are currently working with one of our nissan specialist customers on a 2 speed atlas and if all goes well we will be able to do the 4 speed atlas as well. We are aware you guys are out there and trying to help you out.

What do you mean by "not going to work as well as others?" I know quite a few folks that are currently running the transfer case gears sold by Calmini and Automotive Customizers and I think that it would defeat the purpose of getting rid of the TX10 with gears just to replace it with another transfer case with close to the same gearing/slightly better. I may be wrong here since I am not quite familiar with the Atlas setup and only know that it's a Godly transfer case and with a big price attached to it.

What is the current prediction of pricing and estimate of date of release of the 2 spd and 4 spd?

The cost and sizing of doubling (how it would fit in the vehicle) the nissan cases detured us from doing it. The advantage of the doubler is having 2 low range options. The Atlas is availabe in low range ratios of 2.0, 3.0, 3.8, 4.3, 5.0, 6.0, in the 2 speed form and 1:1, 2.0, 2.72, and 5.44 or 1:1, 2.72, 3.8, and 10.34 in the 4 speed options. The cases range in price from $2195 to $2895 the cases come complete with yokes and twin stick shifters. The adapter to the nissan trans has not yet been determinded. The cost for the adapter to a Titian trans is about $200.00 and the tx10 replacement shoud be about the same.
