Outer Limits 4x4 Board

TJM make a cradle that bolts straight up. i think mine cost $250.

cheers Lukey, i done a bit more research and figured as much.
he ended up getting 4th and limped home so i didnt have to go out there in the end.

i know this has probably been covered 100 times before. i done a search and searched the bible but couldnt find anything. a mates gearbox in his 87 petrol lux has died on his way back to adelaide. (was supposedly rebuilt) what i want to know is if the deisel box from roughly the same year will fit ...

this blokes in melbourne and there is another guy on the gold coast who does the same motor.
i remember seeing them cheaper then this on ebay so keep an eye out.

a mate of mine just finished putting a 3tg in his ta22 celica, and your right they bloody move.

spewing, he sold a different lica bout a month ago with an 18rg with twin sidieys for next to nothing as the body was farked.

if only i knew i was getting a lux.

dont spose you know what he wants for it?

I know that both the celica's adn the hilux's both ran the 18r motors.

im pretty sure no celicas ran y series motors. as far as i know they were all ohc.

what lux ran an 18r?. i thought they went to a 22r after the y series.

yeah, thats what im thinking now. but im pretty sure early 80's coronas had an over head cam motor? does any one know of another yota that came with the y series motor?

after reading clauds post i had another look on ebay. found this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140066614834&fromMakeTrack=true the guy reckons the bottom end isnt very good :cry: but still would be better then what ive got he has no idea what it would cost to send to adelaide ...

where from?

cheers.

Another thing to consider is that once oil and water mix and become milky. It will stay in the cooling system/ oil system for ages. You do really need to flush the system out a couple of times. We do it all the time at work good point coz the oil doesnt really look that bad just a bit of milk. and ...

Dude there were two 3y and one 4y motors on ebay last weekend. Maybe still on there now. They only wanted 400 and i think one had no reserve. Don't remember location but they are as cheap as a working girl. cheers, had a look last week and again today, but the cheapest 3y was 800 that i could find ...

yay!! keeps on getting better. now oil is pissing out of the rear main seal.

do you think running the motor with three cyliders firing would have hammered the seal?

i was just outside having a good look at the block and seen the engine no. it was 3Y 106 blah blah blah i cant beleive i didnt notice this b4 im assuming the blocks are the same so the gasket shouldnt matter should it ? as i dont know if a 4y or 3y one was purchased. someone along the line has ...

thanx for the suggestions guys. ive got the thing running but cylinder 4 isnt firing. the plugs and leads look new but i might try swapping a plug around. still doesnt help the milky oil though :x ill have a real good look around the block tomorrow to see if there is any evidence of damage or a ...

yeah, got the head shaved and pressure tested and came back fine.
thats why im stumped

and as far as the gasket sealing correctly, it was put on by a mechanic friend who does it every day.

but you never know.

might have to take the head off again and have a look

hi guys, i recently got an 87 d/cab lux petrol. when i got it i was told the head gasket had gone. after replacing the head gasket and filling with oil i was pissed off to find the water getting into the oil somewhere. :cry: when we orinally took off the head we could see where the gasket had been ...

just picked up a 88 d/cab lux off a mate. has heaps of mods done already, so the idea of a duel cab paj is out the window atm.

dont worrie the paj will still be no.1 and now i dont have to thrash it using it for work

k, got some time off work and decided to get off my arse and go see the boys at arb. They told me about Dekker motor body builders. so off i went. Michael Dekker said he had never done a ute conversion on a paj b4 but was more then willing to do it. Approx quote: $7500 - $8000 complete with tray ...

after reading this thread i rang DGA insurance brokers.

$200 off existing premium with $10000 in accessories

$150 off excess

give them a try

just an update on the lucas additive.

gearbox - better, smoother changes - will use again

engine - worse. made lifters noisey as hell - never again

Alej. Interesting test, ill have to think twice about putting lucas in next time. I have noticed slightly smoother gear changes though, especially when cold.

cheers

aye guys, i changed the oil in my g,box last night (with castrol vmx-m and lucas heavey duty oil stabilizer) and noticed that alot more then 2.2 litres of oil came out. thinking i might have a leak from t,case?. i havent cracked the case yet to have a look if its low. i was also thinking who ever ...

94 nj 3.0
236,000 and starting to make a few noises id rather it didnt.

klrevo, that white pic with the tube tray looks f*&k'n nuts. i like your idea of the swb body on lwb chassis.


might be time to get out the measuring tape

my second car done a power steering rack so the paj cant come off the road for a bit now.... pos ford

cheers klrevo, i reckon ill go a duel cab with just a small tube tray. ill go see what the pro's have to say tomorrow. yeah i remember cookie monsters chop pics, ill have to get photo shop and have a muck around. a mate told me about a freeware version but i dont remember what its called, anyone ...

hi, does anyone know of a ute chopped paj. ive done plenty of searches but cant find any gen 2 utes. I need a ute now but dont want to lose the paj. im still un decided on a duel cab or king cab style chop, any ideas? looking at the paj it looks like a duel cab would be alot easier due to the doors ...

cheers Overkill, i think i know what you mean. i'll have to wait till the cradle gets here to have a look.

hi, i have finally purchased a winch. my problem is i have a tjm alloy bar and have raised it with the body lift, now im thinking that because of the body lift the cradle that the winch sits in wont match up to the bar as it mounts to the chassi ?. is this right ? ive tried doing a search witch ...

western burbs of the over grown town (Adelaide). i have been reading this forum daily for about a year and a half but this is my first post. Anyone else here from sth oz other then cookie monster and scott
