Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, Anyone know who can do a blue plate for an 80 series dual cab conversion in Gladstone or rocky? it was done and mod plated in 98 in western Australia and has been registered in queensland for last 10 years or so but was told will need a blue plate to get a current rwc? any info would be great ...

Whats a good turbo to replace a td05 mitsi turbo on a hzj75 cruiser? would a garrett be a better choice or just replace td05?

whats it mean when the wastegate is welded shut? like on the dts td05 turbos for 1hz

How do you measure your rim offset? i had some 15 x 10 alloys of a 45 series that i put on my 75 series and they need about 8mm wheel spacers to fit the front, what would be the best offset for a 15 x 10 to fit without spacers? cheers mick

has anyone got any ideas which bucket seats sit the lowest?

howsie wrote:Not sure about the ute but I got au xr8 seats in the 80 had to cut old rails and weld the cruiser ones on. Btw the au seats sit quite high so you will sit higher.

ok thanks mate, im 6,3 so probly not a good seat to use, cheers

has anyone fitted au falcon seats into their cruiser ute? or know if they will fit the cruiser rails with little mods? currently have racing seats in and are shit for comfort ,cheers

will find out next week when it goes in for roadworthy,idler arm had rust in end,wasnt allowing tierod in far enough,couldnt find anything else,will still need wheel alignment to

yeh i put the heavy duty seals in also, iv doubled checked everything, done all the measurements between tie rod ends etc, all good, a wheel alignment only does toe in/out, it drives straight until you hit a bump or pothole then it just takes off to the left or right, its caster thats wrong with it ...

Have just put a two inch efs lift in my cruiser ute, have rebuilt the front diff with new hub/wheel bearing and seal kit,new locktup cvs, all new tie rod ends and return to centre steering damper. do i need to fit 2 degree caster wedges? took it for a drive today and it wanders big time, also the ...

would just be easier selling the chev and dropping in a injected 5 litre im guessing?

hey guys, can i legally put a 1984 305 chev into my 1990 hzj75 in qld? dont really want to run gas either,i picked up a really really cheap 305 that needs a rebuild but dont want to spend the money if i cant do it. cheers Mick

So many nice things you can buy for the 1uz and they make so much reliable power! In standard form they are good for around 400-500hp at the treads. With a set of rods and pistons well over 1000hp is achievable. If they can hold together at that power level, it basically means they are a dam strong ...

Does anyone know if the 78 79 series bullbars fit 75 series cruisers? i thought maybe the 78s are a fraction wider in the front? cheers Mick

yeh, im after comfort and i want the springs to work a bit,it has very heavy springs in the back now and it doesnt take much to lift a wheel, think i will get airbags and lighter springs

Pic of tray, has steel checkerplate floor

Hey guys, needing new springs in cruiser, probly get ironman 50mm lift for it, after some advice on what load rating, it has a heavy steel tray on it with tool boxes built in under the sides and will be used for camping and dirtbikes. not sure to get the performance springs and throw some airbags ...

im going to go the chev route, most of my cars have been v8s,so i will have a ihz for sale soon:)

Hi guys, after your thoughts on which way to go with my hzj75, turbo the 4.2 or drop in a chev crate motor on gas? the turbo is the easiest way to go but you can buy a crate motor for the same price as a turbo kit and get more power, i know it will cost more to do the conversion but im leaning more ...

yeh late 90 model as in 11th month 1990 model

cheers guys ill have a look,when i got the ute a couple of months ago the pedal was rock hard but after readjusting and bleeding it stared moving again

Hey guys, having few dramas with my brakes, put it down to either booster or master cylinder i think, its late 90 model with drum rear, all pads are good, have readjusted rear pads and bleed all lines including proportioning valve and pedal goes halfway down before stopping solid and barely pulls ...

awesome, looks sweet as, the late model grill and the scoop make it

so dont get any from ebay then? il get some prices off locktup, i bought some of their better front axle seals to use instead of the usual hub kit ones

Hi guys, recently bought a 1990 cruiser ute with factory diff locks and in the process of rebuilding the swivel hubs etc, i have found the left front cv joint to be stuffed and i am not sure what cvs to put in it,any suggestions? without spending lots of dollars would be nice cheers Mick

my highmount has the same smell under hard acceleration , i found out it leaks oil from the rear seal of the turbo and drips onto the exhaust, but only when you get into it

steel wrote:if all your trying to fix is the scrubbing, then all you need to do is adjust your steering lock stops

Two of the gu rims are cracked so im getting new rims, probly just steel wheels like sunnys or pro comps series

Hey guys, did a search and couldnt find anything, what size rim do you think is best suited for 315/75/16 claws? 16 x 10 or 16 x 8, they are currently on factory GU rims but scrub on my control arms at full lock, they are on a GQ shorty with 3 inch spring and 2 inch body lift, cheers Mick

if didnt actually get one with my turbo glide kit, i just got exhaust shop to make one up when they did 3 inch xhaust

I would like to find about these in particular.


Anyone know anything about them?

Some of the imported gq shortys are fitted with these, dont know if they were factory or not
