I'd be more inclined to forget the air con pump and run power steering instead.
Or just use the air con pump as an air compressor?

Here's a few pics of my current headache Leaves are 46" long Rear chassis extension http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/zukpower/DSCN1554.jpg New rear shackle mount http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254/zukpower/DSCN1556.jpg Pic of the spring in place http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii254 ...

nuh there 60mm. they still fit in the solid pin hangers though. And if your lengthening the chassis you'll have to make new shackle mounts anyway. I'll get some picks up tomorrow, im heading out for a beer now :D do you just use the diff mounting plates (can't remember their correct name) from the ...

Will this be engineered? as extended shackles are illegal. What length springs are you aiming at? I'm currently putting feroza rears in mine which are ~6-7" longer than std zuk rears. I'm keeping the std shackles though. I've had to extend my chassis obviously so I could get some measurements and/or ...

have you had a look through A1's build up?

I chew my rears out so quick I normally dont have rear brakes lol Still passes the brake test at rego time with just the fronts though so I'm not too bothered, plus I use my gearing mostly

AFAIK Rotors can only be machined so much (ie. they have to be a certain thickness) but the brake shop will be able to tell you whether they can be machined or not. I presume you could source new rotors from someone like Autopro or Supercrap etc

Thanks heaps Steve. If I go down this route this should be very helpful.
In regards to the pumps - where abouts did you plumb these in? I can see what looks like a pump on the RHS in the vertical pipe running up to the radiator inlet I think.
oh and what does ISC stand for?

well yep sounds like fugged rotors to me lol pull them out and you should be able to see it by eye or with a straight edge

its a GME, just want it programmed back to normal channels like when you buy 1 from a shop for general public. I'm guessing the unit has been programmed for certain channels (like mines, ports etc) and you want it back to stock factory settings? We get our work ones done at a place called National ...

my front brakes shudder under braking buh nothing is noticed when driving only happens when im braking...? noticed this after an accidental "handstand" on the rear wheels on the beach yday (hit a sand dune step and the front end popped up in the air) came down with a big thud too...may have i bent ...

Thanks Dominator, your zuk is pretty similiar to what mine will end up like. I'll add a bit more information which may help my cause. - It's a 92 SWB Sierra ute with SPOA WT Sierra diffs. - RUF - Daihatsu Feroza leaves in the rear. - Standard Sierra shackles all round. - I can fab up shock towers ...

Rear mounting is a great idea - it's one of the best things I've even done on my car. I'm running a trayback though. I don't think it's very practical in a styleside. I'm running a radiator from a 87-91 Camry, with two primary cooling fans to cool my 660. I agree that an AU falcon radiator and fans ...

Cheers for that. I've already tried Newcastle Hi-Tensile with no luck. I'll give the rest a call on Monday

Hi guys, I have recently RUF'd my 92 sierra and lengthened the rear to fit Feroza leaves and now I'm after shocks. I haven't managed to flex it up to take measurements yet as im still chasing some u bolts (anyone know a good place to buy u bolts in Newcastle?) but I have no idea what shocks I should ...

hey guys got the engine, computer, loom and extractor (almost new) today for $1200, and ordered Ben T adaptor kit for $200. just a qick question can i use the 1.3 clutch and flywheel for the conversion. also the only thing the engine is missing is the air flow monitor does anyone have or know where ...

im presuming its a suspension lift? Driveshaft angle is ok -as in looks ok or have you actually measured the angles? the sierra transfer tilts backwards so it doesn't take much lift to bugger the front shaft angles up -short jackshaft between gbox and transfer? -front wheel bearings? -wheel balance?

It has a 1.6 8 valve engine out of a tracker and I used the stock samurai fuel injection so it looks stock just with more power

yeah, cause if you get pulled over this is what the cops gunna being looking at

nuh theres a pack of about 3 attached to one end of the spring. I'll try get some pics today and post them up

im in the process of putting feroza rear springs in my sierra and im curious as to what the extra small leaves on the springs are for?

i run s4 rockhoppers (6.5 i think), locked diffs with 31s and i give it hell and never even broke a mount let alone cracked the case

its amazing how many qualified mechanics cant do something as simple as reassemble manual locking hubs properly, 3 of my mates have had this problem after having there wheel bearings replaced

if the tailshaft doesn't spin its the transfer case, if it does its either the diff or hubs
have fun

*grimbo voice on* you're in QLD yes? engineering will be an issue you need to contend with. also, as you are narrow track, you'll want to think about wide track diffs (or non suzuki diffs) as for installation reasons (room for springs/brackets and stability, you'll want the added width. Steve. wow ...

you sir need some better gearing

i was only going to go a 2inch body lift, but i already have a 2inch body lift. am i reading this right or did you make a typo?
