Ahhhhh Someone else that picked the wrong line hehe. Well at least I probably got rid of all the low branches for you, most of em were in my bonnet hehe

Mine is still a way off being completed. Every time I start to get ahead on it, something else comes up to distract me. Hoping to have a bit of a run at things over Christmas. In any event, don't plan at this stage to get back into competing as my new rig is being built as a social wheeler and not ...

While my new rig is not being built as an outright comp rig, I might do a round or two for giggles if this class was introduced.

That comment from Greg was directed at me and a conversion I had done years ago, and not at nissan diffs in general. My last comp rig was an 80 series and I blew more front centres than I care to remember. I grafted a GQ centre into the 80 front using a GQ centre, airlocker and machined 80 side ...

go nissan diffs, they are unbreakable you know!

Hehe............... dejavu

Thanks Aaron.......... Hadnt thought of 60

That's alright. Haven't seen ya on here much anymore. Thought ya had given up on the sport. ;)

Yeh with 60's you can go full high steer, six shooter knuckles, longfield 30 ...

I know its been done before but I cant find any real decent answers to my questions.

I can get hold of some late 80 series diffs with Airlockers pretty cheap and was thinking about putting them under my lux truggy. I will also like to use the 80 series steering in the lux as well to get power ...

Thanks Mate. I got some now from a mate.

One Steel only has pipe, not tube.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for some tube on the Gold Coast. Cold Drawn or DOM style tube.

Try leaving it turned upside down for a few hours. Dont just flip it over for a few minutes. I used to leave mine upside down for about an hour before I was going to use it on gas.

Well this was the last comp for me. I'm getting out of the sport all together. It was a great weekend for my last comp. I would have loved to have done better for the weekend, but I really enjoyed the company of the other competitors and the layout of the tracks.

Track one was fantastic. Just ...

Might also need a Hiclone

Give em a call Benny PH: (07) 4666 1282

Not everything you read on the internet is true dude.

Just booked the last cabin. Apparently it has been raining there non stop since the weekend. Looks like a wet one.

Looks the goods Brett. Looking at those rocks I say bring on the swampers LOL

Been having some dramas with the 80 lately. 1HZ Diesel 80 (aftermaket turbo)

Problem 1
I took out the sub tank when I did the ute conversion and just blocked off all the plumbing for the sub tank as I was always going to remount the tank later. Never had any fuel dramas from then. Recently I ...

fark yeah its a load of BS

Looks like I am out.

QLD needs a woodpecker style comp badly.

ask and ye shall receive...

dave

Another asking PLEASE

Looks like I might be out too........ And I always thought my rig was fairly conservative. Need to talk to an engineer

Hmmmmm
I could have sworn mine were slightly different. I think from memory the top and sides lined up the same, but the bottom was different angles and swapping them over worked out better. When I chopped mine, I used the front 1/3rd of the rear doors and moved the C Pillar forward to form the rear ...

this my opinion only.
trophy and challenge class should remain controlled and affordable for those who want to enter the competition scene. what i think is lacking in queensland is an outlaw class to cater for those who wish to futher develop their vehicles. whether the tough tracks club or some ...

Coighty wrote:The window used for the B pillar is the fixed window in the rear of the back door. Thats what it looks like to me, cause thats what i'm doing to mine right now, and it looks like that.

Yep thats exactly what I did. And as RV80 said, swapped left to right

I've done mine and not yet had a problem. I just did the 100 series studs, cone washers etc and left the dowels standard. No dramas yet and they have been hanging in for three years with 36 and 38 tsl's. I dont think there is enough meat to replace the dowels with anything decent. But the bigger ...

Is anyone keen to share how much approximately it cost from start to finish including tray? Engineering? & How much work did you do on it? Either dual or extra cab.

Em
I did mine myself with a few mates and I dont think it cost more than $1500 all up

After much consideration i used precision gears from the states. We'll see how long they last...................

I went with Motive Gear 4.88's when I did mine. I got three years of hard flogging out of them on 36" TSL's before I eventually broke the front (rear is still going strong). But I ...

Might be keen Buddy. Havent done a logan run for ages, and it looks like I might finally have the front diff back together by then. How much of the run is on the road?????? And does anyone live nice and close so I can swap tyres???

I think youve got it in one Ausyota. Sounds very much like the brake proportioning valve. Could have air in the valve or as said in the last post, it could be that the rod is bent or out of adjustment. When I did the ute conversion on my 80 series, I had to muck around with the valve to get the rear ...

No worries Pete sorry if you thought i was knocking you .

No worries Tony, I didnt see it as knocking but merely constructive criticism. At the end of the day we are all on a learning curve. I was offered a set of D60's without ratios or lockers for $5500 which sounds a bit more than what you are ...

Tony, basically the reason I went this path is to try and keep it semi road friendly and to the eye, standard(ish). I also wanted to be able to run toyota axles, CV's etc etc. As soon as the money tree recovers a little, I will go Cromo Longs and axles.

I did seriously consider the mog option as ...

did you have yours done locally ? was there a lot of cost involved.
Thanks

I did get mine done locally and the cost was clost to 5K by the time I bought everything.

Thats Crazy you could have bought a Solid Axle Dana 60 complete for that sort of money and never had to worry about breaking ...
