Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mate there has been alot of talk lately about this topic, regarding the current hiluxes. A new 'chip' has hit the market from the tuning company HKS, now its actually a piggy back ecu not a chip. This means the tuning capabilities are almost endless. You can tune the timeing, pump, injectors boost ...

Dropped you a PM

Question 1:- did you get an approval letter from vehicle standards for the 4 link? If not that blue plate is worth nothing, because there is no code for that mod under the Light Vehicle Code or the Heavy Vehicle Code for that matter. Question 2:- again, is there an approval from vehicle standards ...

didnt think so but had to make sure :) dont tell me that i just sold my 105r haha has anyone done the cape and kimberleys with IFS and howd'd it go? a 2" lift all round with dropped boxed diff front should hold up? you should brace the lower control arms on the front from memory they are a weak ...

new duel cab cruiser ute

Im sure hiluxpunisher (Simon) ran them on the front of his old duel cab, made a big difference when flogging around the tracks according to bubs.
Check with buddy he had a set laying around his shop for ages for a good price I looked into them for the lux, might save you freight.

and that can be made road legail? and y is that unrealistic ur putting a 5.7ltr in y is the 4.5ltr deisel a bad idea? i thought it would be a pritty tuff truck and fairly realiable 4.5 from a 200 has alot of computers and junk the 4.5 single turbo from the 70 series is easyer, but hey if you want ...

well thats ur opinion mate but at the end of the day a live axile 200 would one be a nice car and two b very capeable off road. well i would like to piss off the tracksion control and just put in lockers but abs i dont kno to much about I think you will find you need all this for engineering well ...

It would be hard with the asb stability and traction control

I would say not as you have to cut and re-weld the mount to the chassis

Just because it's plated doesn't mean sqaut. I can get a engineer to mod plate my flipped arms. And some have already done this. Still doesn't mean it's accepted by transport in qld. Like Greg said. They will put it off the road and then chase the engineer. Sorry but did you read any of the posts ...

Mine's got a blue plate that says it is. Your not in qld... Hmmmm. Often speak without knowing what the hell you're on about? My vehicle is reg in queensland. I maintain an address in queensland. It was built in queensland. I regularly drive and visit queesnland in that vehicle. are you noticing a ...

Whats this about defected for UHF? For the aerial being on the front of the car he was told it cant be infront of the a pillar unless there is no were to mount it on the back. So the guy was a compleat wanker and went over the entire truck, Todd said he looked pissed because he couldnt find more ...

Transport dosnt care, mate got defected today in brizzy with the same setup as me 08 lux sased and 4-linked all plated. He was only defected for tires, mudflaps & uhf they were fine with the suspension.

So it can be engineered using factory arms. BUT the dot won't pass it is that correct? So all in all I can still get defected for it? its not a daily but driven from to the tracks and home pretty much every weekend Cheers..smiley.. well as i said mine is engineered and my daily, never had an issue ...

DOT wont approve alot of things. His question was can it be engineered... Yes

Better running a engineered 4-link than extended shackles.
keeps the locals happy

Yes you can, the rear of my lux is engineered for 4-link. Used the standard 80 series lower arms, top and bottom as stated above. Have a chat to buddy from budscustoms he did mine, and has done alot now never had an issue with engineering. sales@budscustoms.com.au or 0417708598 he will point you in ...

Do we need Rego?

Asking on behalf of a friend, he has a company leased pardo and wants to run duel batterys for his fridge but they wont let him modify the car and all that BS. so i was just wondering can you use somthing like a ctek unit to charge a battery in a case that could be located in the rear of the car and ...

Spoke to Performax in Gympie yesterday, and they have 2 sitting on a dock in the states waiting to come over but are being held up with red tape. There is no issue with EURO 4 is other things but nothing critical. They also said there is a company in Melbourne with a few, But ruff cost from ...

2" max on the IFS. Any more and you destroy CV's unless you can find someone that makes a diff drop kit for the 100 there are a few on the market for hiluxes but I don't no of any for th 100, someone on here should no. I'v seen people go to 3" but that is alot is strain on the cv's, particularly if ...

Who is bringing in the now fords??? Performax in Gympie do GM (will be talking to them soon), but I haven't heard of anyone bringing over the fords thats why thought I would ask to see if anyone knew. thanks for the info I'm not 100% sure but the has been talk that Performax is going to start ...

yeh iv been in the older ones befor they stoped bringing them in its about 3/4 of the size of the passanger.

Didn't say that the F series didn't. Ford have had some, we'll say teething problems, with their later model diesels. They have a new engine again, they say it's the best one yet - though I did hear that last time as well. 397hp Duramax Silverado :armsup: we have heard that the new diesel is meant ...

My old man wants to bring over a new effie from the states, i was just wondering if they meet the euro standards for rego ect, or has anyone ever imported one? he and i have done some reserch but there isnt alot of information. any info would be great.

Thanks

Thanks bru, looks like i have some reading to do

Guys I'm getting fox coilovers and shocks on my hilux, and I'v never used them before. Just wondering how they are adjusted in rebound, timing and valving. Also how hard is it to do yourself, or is it better to let a pro do it?

any info would be great thanks.
