With your RB30 and dizzy issues, have you thought about running coil pack's inside up under the dash and a crank angle sensor and blocking the dizzy off altogether ???

Thank's nabstud, seem's this forum is pretty quiet these day's compared to the old days....

Cheer's for that anyhow...

Hey Gent's, I just bought a 2002 GU III Nissan Patrol ST with the TB48 with the 5spd auto, it's on duel fuel, I bought this car for towing reason's mainly... Just wondering if there are any reliability issues with these car's and if so what are they, it has done around 260,000k's... Is there ...

Is your RB30 a non turbo engine that's been turbo'd or is it a proper Turbo engine ?? Why does the RB30 keep breaking down, what issues is it causing ?? They are a great engine and can cop a real flogging if done right, might be worth putting a twin cam RB25/30 engine in and that would make more ...

Ok this just got Recovered today guy's (20/5), apparently found in a Port Melbourne Laneway... Externally it was missing the 4 wheel's (Replaced with stockies), 4 Tough Dog shocker's, driving light's, and power steering pump, other than that it doesn't have a mark on it... Internally they stole Momo ...

Hi gent's i need help sort of urgently as im leaving tonight, i have to do a looooonggg haul to pick up a mate's GQ LWB which is fitted with 15x8 or maybe 10 sunny's with 35x12.5x15s and cant find a rental trailer anywhere in the northern suburbs of melbourne that have 1 that will fit the width of ...

Was just posting these in another topic maybe this would be a cheaper alternative than both for the front.

What are people's honest opinion of these lock right lockers i have seen them on ebay here. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360265985293&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I was thinking about buying these and fitting them front and rear instead of air locker's, would this be wise ...

if you check your profile, you also havnt said boo since 2005! no i dont own one, yes i have driven one. iv also stopped at a servo in one. your set on getting one it seems, and the only diff between the lexus and toyota is the lexus has a few more creature comforts, so what is it you prefer ...

Even if they ran on water you would get sick of putting that in but going by your last rigs........................ by the way i wouldnt be knocking my rigs simmo84, just by looking at your rig in your sig mate, a 1986 hilux and nothing to write home about . dont think hes knockin ya rigs cobber ...

Even if they ran on water you would get sick of putting that in but going by your last rigs........................ My last 2 rigs were both turbocharged straight gas research jobbies, both went extremely well for big 4x4's and had no trouble wheelspinning on 35's pedes which is what they always ...

Yes i realised they would be extremely thirsty, what V8 isnt, but have heard mixed storys regarding this, some saying the 4.5 6 is thirstier and others say the V8 is, i would be putting it on injected LPG or something similar which should keep the economy within reason im hoping, ive had an 95 model ...

Hi gents, Im looking into buying a large 2nd hand family mover (2000 model LX470 Lexus or 105 series cruiser most likely the V8 version also).(Swaying more towards the Lexus) Now im interested to know is there anything i should look for regarding either of these models, also how reliable are the ...

BTW that was for an IMPCO gas system with an APA gas tank(120ltr with 92 usable).

Andrew have you gotten a price on fitting a parnell gas system?, if so how much. What about if you fit an upper cylinder head lubricant sytem to the gas car will it still require head work down the track or should it be ok. What do they fit to taxi engine's that constantly run on gas 24/7 i know ...

Gee that's not to bad Tuff100 i thought it would have been worse, did you get the gas fitted or was it on there when you bought the car?? If you got it fitted did you notice much performance loss between petrol and gas? What's it cost to fill at the current gas prices if you dont mind me asking ...

How many K's would you guy's be getting out of a full tank of gas on an 80 series 4.5ltr 5spd.

Curious to know.

Ive heard 120ltr is the biggest tank's you can get under them but only 92ltr's is usable so how many K's do you get out of that.

This looks AWESOME, ive been looking at quite a few yank websites and they certainly have some monsters there, overall they seem not to be a bad rig and can be made more than capable.Mav

Also whats the twin traction beam front axle and are there any problems he should look out for.Thanks.Mav

Thanks for the info CRUSHU, its not an import it was sold new here, i asked him today what type of suspension they have and he said coil front and rear leafs,(springover type leafs on rear are standard he reckons) he said he's not to sure but maybe the later model 5ltr injected ones might be coil ...

Thanks guys i googled abit and found a few sites on bronco's and as mentioned there really big in the states, i found a few pics of em with 44s fitted aswell as 460's so the mods market is much much bigger than here it seems. A 460 equipped 1 on 44in boggers would be pretty full on though and should ...

Hey guys, a freind of mine is buying a 351 cleveland powered Bronco XLT(Auto) which he wants to modify with all the usual crap...lift/tyres/winch..etc what i was just wondering is how do they rate as a offroad vehicle, are they any good or are they just plain shithouse. Is there any particular ...

My Mav is my 1st ever 4wd was completely stock standard riding on 31s before i put the bodylift in, reason i went 3" was my gastank towbar and everything else was dragging its guts through every rut possible, sure i could go places but nowhere near where i go now. I got AUS4WD to fit mine in and ...

My shorty Mav has a factory rear Diff lock and it works just fine i havent had a problem at all with it and i give my car absolute hell, as bogged said has said have a look on the diff itself and on the RHS of the housing there should be a little Vacuum looking thingy and a solenoid with a few ...

I have only done a 3" bodylift and a guard cut with new rubber flares and ive got 35/12.5/15's on my Mav shorty with no probs at all, no rubbing anywhere either, the suspension is still factory stock which is my next mod.Mav

Bastard of a job i attempted it once with no luck i ended up bolting most of it together and took it to a mechanical shop and let them have the headache.It can be done but goodluck trying without a hoist and a transmission jack.Mav

Ive seen this ute(4WD Heaven Hilux)close up and the tyres are 44/18.5/15's on what looks like 15x12in alloy rims.
I spoke to the guy in there and its powered by a 308 backed with a T700 4 speed trans and is for sale for around 26 large as is or 20 no wheels.Mav
