Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Do the 105 rear diffs have bigger pinion bearings?

Are you replacing the dowels as well? Without the dowels the studs will shear very easily.

Don't know, but i want to know why some have it in such a stupid position for a 4WD & others are up high next to the battery well out of harms way?

MrDJ, the top caliper is to suit a wider rotor.

Cranky, do you remember the actual sizes of the two different shatfs?

Why don't you use the 2 plastic dust shields from a commodore instead of making new ones?

The tailights are held in by 3 screws, 2 from inside the tailgate opening & one in the reverse light

1FZ-FE, 1HZ, 1HD-T/FT all have the battery on the passengers side, just a battery tray for one of them. Someone will buy your battery tray for dual setup on one of the other fitments.

The diesels already have oil coolers fitted (oil to water heat exchanger, its an oil core that sits in the water jacket under the alloy plate the oil filter screws onto), for your oil pressure guage you can remove the sender for the factory gauge or use a 'T' piece if you want use the factory gauge ...

Because they are longer they twist & break.

Valve adjustment

you can bolt 79 series or 105 series swivel hubs onto an 80 series diff or go the other way the 80 and 105 are heaps wider than the 79 i think the leading arms are located further apart as well (80/105) rails are wider just hook a drag chain round a tree lol :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and hit reverse :D ...

If you fit free wheeling hubs the ABS will be disabled & the light will stay on until the hubs are locked. This will also make your vehicle illegal & may also result in insurance claim rejection.

Sounds a lot like the rear diff, try dropping a small amount of oil out of the drain plug to see if there is any metal in the oil.

That flywheel is a genuine flywheel, you'll notice the centre is cast & unmachined where the excedy flywheel is machined from single peice of steel. Either your vehicle never had a dual mass or someone has converted it using a genuine single mass flywheel. What vehicle are we talking about anyway?

Yes you need to take the ring gear (flywheel teeth as you call them) off the old flywheel & fit it to the new flywheel.

Had a late 80 series with the 1HD-FT in at work a couple of months ago with the same leak, also had cold running issues. Pulled pump off & sent away for overhaul, main housing was worn, fitted a new pump after the boss haggled with Toyota & waited a few weeks for it to come from Japan. Custo...

Goto a brake specialist, they will be able to recondition your booster with aftermarket parts.

Behind the glovebox, if you remove the glovebox you will see it at the top under the dash.

they are none machineable if rotors warp or even if they are good enough to go another set of pads and you wish to get them cleaned up , just a point to note ,not eveyone knows of this

That's only a myth

Drill out the rivets & use high tensile bolts to bolt it in as mentioned previously making sure the bolts you use have a shank which is a tight fit in the holes & the shank is about the same length as the thickness of the crossmember & chassis (use washers as well)

There is a proper brake caliper assembly lube available, also some of the rubber greases available are designed for suspension rubbers & other applications & are too thick & sticky to use in brake hydraulics (the Castrol red rubber grease for one)

I'm interested in this as i'm wanting to run the patrol LSD

I think it would depend alot apon tyre design and construction too, a radial 35X12.5X15" a/t is going to handle alot differently to a simex ET 35X12.5X15". Getting the right combo is what is important. Take formula one for example, the very top level of tyre design, so much so that the ty...
