Use plastic garden edging from bunnings, or purple pig sell flare rubber. (not sure if purple pig in brisbane)

cheers fellas

unfortunately cant use the information specified based on the gaurds being trimmed and custom tray.

Engineer specifically asked for measurement to sills.

Thanks not a bad website, i will check whether this will be accepted

Recently had the go ahead from an engineer to finish building my zook toy thing. To save me money on the engineer having to go out and measure a standard 95' maruti ute i was hoping someone could measure theirs and take a photo of the measurement. Does not have to be exactly this year but the same ...

yes i have given them ALL of the information about the car, have told them that i have this engine, have sent them photos of rolling chassis etc and have not had the opportunity to be able to explain my intentions or whether i am flexible with the build. This may help... (excuse format) Engineering ...

engineering is a pain in the ass, but build is on hold till i can actually get someone to have a look at the vehicle. unfortunately i have had three engineers turn me down! not for any particular reason stated but just flat turned me down. i dont really understand?

Thanks, Its a 96 but putting in a ca18 not sure of age?

am in sunbury, suspension work is all welded brackets, crossmembers.

engine and box are from silvia ca18de

I see, well basically all i need is foe an engineer to view the car before i proceed with the engine gearbox combo. the rolling chassis is complete i.e. suspension axles etc. i was going to proceed with the build until finish purely because it will have the ability to be on the road once engine done ...

I have heard there is an engineer towards bendigo way that has had a lot to do with the engineering of zooks? Just wondering if anybody had a contact for this engineer or one they have used in the past. i am in dire need as i cant continue my build. do want the zook to be registered. any help is ...

I do understand, although the rolling chassis was already fabbed, whereas the only work i've done so far is fixing it up(was rough). i will get an engineer to look at my plans for the engine and gearbox mounting before i take the plunge.

Sorry for being slack. Have now finished gusseting the diffs, painted and now the rolling chassis is complete. Now for the engine. I did speak to an engineer, closest was Laurie Sparke i think in east keilor. When i initially spoke to him he was quite good and asked for some tech info on the three ...

will start a build thread when closer to finishing, so far i have stripped it down painted chassis and suspension components now bracing/gussetting the diffs. Once the diffs are done i will then locate the engine gearbox and transfer.

The high mount doesnt make a significant difference to the weight of the front end?

REALLY? Thats outrageous. . .

I can't believe it would be that expensive. I have decided i will give them a go but if it turns out to be that expensive i can buy 3 pairs of new seats for that same price.

sorry but what are kirkey's???

Thanks Mate

I wouldnt mind having harnesses though. Ive been in a mates 4wd with harnesses and its wonderful.

Thanks guys. It sucks, i just missed a sale at super cheap in Vic $100 for pair race seats.

Thanks guys

thats what i thought, but plastic is easy and they are cheap cheap

your right mate i didnt give any info but yeh i have 6.1:1

Just looking at getting a set of these plastic bucket seats from the U.S of A. I was wondering if anybody had these or new someone who has them so i can find out if they are comfortable or worth the hassle?

Sorry mate i don't think i understand, do you mean t/case gears?
If so the axles are under a zook running a ca18det.

Thanks
So i basically go chromoly innards.

Hi guys,

Bit of a noob here, quick question, i am wanting to know what i will have to do to my (i think around) 85 mdl hilux axles to run 37"s without severe breakage.
or whether ill have to do anything?

Thanks
Tom

Thank you

Thanks for the input,

Will keep you all updated on how the engineers goes because i am sure it is going to cause pain. First step is documentation (specs of three cars inc. torque, ratio, mass etc.) complete and sent, am waiting for reply.

Hey guys, The grille was cut for highmount, and it does have lux diffs. And i have spoken to an engineer, the idea of me buying this zook was to have it engineered for road use (to try and achieve the impossible). I am writing up some documentation on specifications and engine torques for the ...
