Re: 79 series coil conversion????

Am a little unsure with the reasoning. I don't mean to sound rude. (if it comes off that way) Why bother cutting up a 100 series axle to turn it into a 79 series axle? If the only reason is to keep the mounts on the housing? Then you are going to cut them off anyway to make an A frame? I'd keep ...

Re: Engine conversion for 40/45 series

A 304 will do the job but don't expect anything spectacular in standard form. But as mentioned above they have alot of options to play with. They sound awesome. Can be bought cheap. Not a bad option. But just because it has 8cyl does not mean it has more power. If you are swapping from 4spd to 5spd ...

Re: Engine conversion for 40/45 series

In Victoria you don't need an engineers certificate if the replacement engine is of the same configuration and has similar power output and chassis mounts are left untouched. Making falcon Inline 6's a very cost effective and wise choice. But I think a 1FZ would be an awesome swap into the old 45 ...

Re: 60series diffs under a hilux help??

I believe they are 70mm wider. So about 3 inches as mentioned above. "long side same length, short side 3 inches longer" comment. So to answer the original posters question. One would assume the front driveshaft would be offset 1.5 inches to the passenger side.

Re: BJ40 5 speed

Landcruiser 4 speeds have a 1:1 ratio in 4th gear. Assuming you have 4.11:1 ratio final drives and 33 inch tyres, regardless of engine you put in, the input shaft is still required to spin at ~2600rpm @ 100km/h. Even with 31's at 100km/h the 4 speed will only spin at 2775rpm. A 5 speed will reduce ...

Re: 105 Series Landcruiser Rims and Offset Question

i have 305/70 MTZ on mine on 16x8s. they still have plenty of clearance between anything that looks like it will rub. unsure of exact offset. but they are sitting out a bit further than std.

The doors will fit. If the 308 was used for drag racing it will likely operate best at peak revs, not ideal for 4x4 where low down torque is key. Just keep that in mind, you may be able to alter that with cam and carb changes. There is always gearing to help counter this. Plus the 308s probably got ...
