One good peice of advice is -DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GIVE " CASTLEMAINE ROD SHOP" ANY MONEY, AS THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF QUICK SMART-. They deserve a Logie award for the saga of lies they will tell you about what they can do and have done, and once they have your money you will never hear from ...

Try Marks 4wd for your conversion kit or Dellow Automotive as they both turn out good products, i have used several kits from both and all good. Castlemaine Rod Shop on the other hand is nothing but a pack of liars that will take your cash and send you a box of cr@p that is never going to fit and ...

If CRS have improved and now their kits fit does that mean i can get my $1500 back plus solicitors fees for my kit that did not fit, i sent it back because the whole kit was wrong completely and they decided to pocket my money and the kit, even through letters of demand and Dept Of Fair Trade they ...

CRS are thieves, do not give them money!
Do not under any circumstance give Castlemain Rod Shop any money, they will rip you off any chance they get, then as they are experts in doing this, they will then tell you it is all your fault as they thought you had a silver nissan not a white nissan, then they will go to ground and be ...

253 dinosaur
I would not bother with a 253, plenty of 5l injected v8s around and you will not meet ADR polution specs with a 253 unless you go straight LPG, also under any circumstances "DO NOT USE ANY CASTLEMAIN ROD SHOP KITS", any decent engineer will warn you off them straight away, just ask a couple, that is ...

The idea of the castor correction plates is that you use standard 0* factory bushes and the correction plates do the castor change, 5* was the figure in mind in my vehicle with standard bushes and this was punished in the bush towing heavy dual axle trailers with zero problems over 8 years, we broke ...

This is definitely common in vehicles with aftermarket castor bushes as they do not allow as much flex as the OEM items, i am guessing that the vehicle is lifted and has these bushes fitted? Solution is to grind out the crack and weld up appropriately, then fit castor plates if able to, and remove ...

1UZFE conversion
To all people considering a 1uzfe conversion in anything, under any circumstances "DO NOT USE CRS KITS" .This company is an absolute farce and should not be in buisness, the only reason that some people have had good results in the past is Rod Hatfeild and his knowledge of automotive conversions ...

Give the vehicle a good test drive up hills etc,you will find that the 3F petrol engine is a real slug and hopeless for towing, i did, fuel consumption issues compound the towing greif also, whilst being a verry reliable motor you can forget about overtaking forever. Having said this, my vehicle has ...
