QLD & NSW

I'm moving over the border (by 1km) to NSW. Can anyone give me a brief overview of what mods are allowed in NSW as against QLD. Are they more leniant on suspension, body lifts etc?
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers Ian

You can use 80 ser springs but you will find that your Bundy doesn't have enough weight to compress etc...I tried and changed to custom King springs and EFS shocks and she moves real well now

Rear Diif Yoke.

Have 92 GQ. Broke lower control arm and replaced. On driving off heard large noise under the body. The rear yoke, still attached to the driveshaft had pulled off the diff splines. On inspection I have found a nut inside the yoke which I believe holds the yoke into the diff splines. Am I correct? I ...

Two other things have happened to me. Check your engine mounts if they're stuffed they'll move selector when chassis moves. Other one is that stick hits the top of the cab floor and can move it enough to push out of gear.

I believe that you're going the wrong way about it. Do a Business plan and get a good idea of what your cost base will be. This will determine your prices and whether it is viable at all. If it comes out positive then go to Council and check out suitability of property and terrain for 4x4 usage ...

OK, So forget the pump! What's the best (easiest for non mechanic!) to check hoses for leakage? Compressed air down the hose and visually have a look? One other question the one place I haven't done yet is the tank itself. Is there a filter in there? Should I drop it to look before the above? Thanks ...

Holley Fuel pumps

Anyone fitted one to a diesel engine? Any tips on fitting. Also do you need to still go through original mechanical pump or can I bypass it? Worried if the original pump has no diesel to it then it'll sh*t itself. Any feed back would be great.
