Re: 90 Series Prado tech

We have a GXL 90series, 3.4l quad cam. Its got a sub tank only as the main tank was removed to fit the lpg tank. If there was a sub tank in your mates, there would be a dual filler in where you put the petrol.

Personally, if it was me, Id get a sparky to run a new 15a circuit to the shed, or wherever you plan of welding. I have a metal cut off saw that runs 15a, and I had it plugged into a 10a powerboard(the type with a cutoff button), and it kept cutting out whenever I was using it. When I bought my mig ...

Re: Old School Nissan Trials style event? NSW

I think what Rob is getting at is a little change or tweak to something means your car doesnt meet class regs for open, so you have to go up to Outlaw. Im another example of a car that wont meet open class regs, so if I enter this, itll be in Outlaw, which is a bit daunting for me. Its a very basic ...

Considering Woodpecker was run at Dargle at Lower Portland for so many years, this would be alot closer to "country" entrants than that.

What he said^^^^ Check and clean CVs, axles, wheel bearings, check the seals, maybe invest in new seals, then repack with new fresh grease. Drain all oil from diffs, gearbox and transfer case. Check diff breathers aren't blocked. Depending on how bad it is, maybe check brakes over too. Regrease all ...

Don't even need the factory locker. Pajinas LSD centres work really well.
Something different to the IFS widetrack/60s/80s we often see.
Good to see someone thinking out of the box.
