I have the approved LPG hose and various sizes of reusable ends to suit.

Sent you a PM!

Thanks guys. Very helpful!

Hey All

Can anyone recommend a supplier for LPG lines, fittings etc?

I've got a tank and impco system for my cruiser. Now I need the lines and fittings to hook the whole thing up. None of the fitters I have contacted here in WA are willing to supply parts so I want to go interstate.

Thanks

Hi All, I'm trying to get the fuel level sender on my LPG tank hooked up. It's a 88L 'Myttons' stainless single hole tank. The sender is fitted to the valve unit. It has the name Eletek printed in it and has 5 connector pins. Does anyone know how to wire up this type of tank? What sort of guage do I ...

I want to remove the body lift from my 40 (yes I am sure) so I need the body mount rubbers and bolts. I have seen kits from SOR, CCOT etc in the US. Is there a kit available in Oz?

Thanks

Ben

Is it power steering?

Which parts need reconditioning?

You need to provide more info if you want a response.

I'm using a 60 seiries MC with proportioning valve in my 40. I was wondering if anyone knows if these MCs have residual vavles on the rear circuit? It's fully bled, the rear shoes are adjusted, and the clearance between the booster rod and MC piston is set. There is too much pedal travel before I ...

No point when you can go to ih8mud.com and get everything you need.

I would reckon under carby'ing it isnt the way to go , to lean = melted pistons ! Under carbing it wil not change the mixture. It will not cause a lean condition. According to this http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html 350s came out of the factory with as little as 185 hp ~ 140 kW.

Check your engine mounts and transmission mounts.

What was the best place by a Nissan?

I'm not sure what that is. If you mean a warm air intake coming from the exhaust manifold, I really don't recall. It had a Weber and extractors almost as soon as I bought it, so I don't remember the original configuration. I don't think the '75 had that arrangement either, but I could be wrong. If ...

My mother's 1975 model had charcoal cannister, but I don't think it had EGR.

I think ADR27A was the big one - what's on your compliance plate?

Good info. I'll check the plate. Did your 74 have a hot air stove?

ive come across a pretty decent looking 40series. looks like it has had a fair bit of money spent on it and isnt exactly going cheap. its running a 308 with a stock 4spd. as im looking for a daily driver its also on gas, but im a bit worried about the transmission. its been suggested that i have a ...

I'm wondering what pollution gear I am requried to have on my 9/74 petrol passenger car. I have positive crank case ventilation and automatic choke. Do I need EGR and charcoal cannister? Are there any good references on the topic? Where can I get a copy of the relevant ADRs? Thanks Ben P.S. I'm ...

You will probably need an engineering cert for the motor, but this should not be too difficult. If you have more than 50mm total lift (incl. tyres) they may want you to do a lane change test which will be expensive. Having said that there are some fj40s here with spring over conversions running 35s ...

Hi to the West Aussies. I am moving to WA in June and I want to bring my Landcruiser. I am trying to get an idea of how hard it is going to be to get it registered there. It is an FJ40 with a small amount of lift and a 5 litre V8. The front end has disk brakes. Apart from that, it is basically stock ...

WTF! at 1200ish air locked and 400ish imported from the us for locrite how do you figure that they are close in price? 800 a diff, installation should be the same if not less for the lockrite, 1600 for both!? that isn't real close for my money Plus compressor and installation of air lines and ...

400 is a small block.

i used std rear hubs - faced to back to fit the disk rotors . used hi-lux - l/cruiser front wheel studs . and used a 8mm wheel spacer between the rim and the hub.

I have hilux solid disks and machined 60 series FF hubs. Which wheel studs should I use - 60 series front? The centre part of the hilux disk is the same as a 60 disk but the rear hub flange is about 8mm thinner than the front hub flange. The 60 series front wheel studs look like thay may be a little ...

No more chit-chat please

Water injection is an alternative to an intercooler. It can cool the charge by 120°C or so.

There's excessive friction in there somewhere.

five and a half months??????????? what he said did it really take that long LOL Yeah! Looking at the postage mark, they didn't post it until 6 weeks after the order. I rang Rocky Road a couple of times - man, they got some dopey people workin the phones there. Did'nt pay any tax or duty though, and ...

Impact drivers usually have a 1/2 inch drive. Put a socket on one and give it a good whack. Do the overnight penetrating oil thing beforehand.

Well it finally arrived. Took about 5.5 months via surface mail. Didn't have to pay any GST or duty.

TBI?

You will need 1970 to 1979 FJ40, 45 or 55 front or rear drums. Drain all of the oil out of the front axle and don't use 4wd. That should slow the leaking down long enough to get your rego slip - just don't forget to re-fill it afterwards.

the steering colum where it mounts to the firewall has had the standard bracket cut off it and a 6mm plate welded to it for some farken reason i spottted it but had nfi why its been done when the body is lifted the column bracket at the dashboard, the fire wall and the steering box go out of ...
