I'd say the poly is the go. I did one about 4 years ago and it was awesome. At the time I asked around there was a fair amount of different advice floating around.

Thanks,
It would be nice to put on bigger tyres but I don't want to go changing rims and throw the odo out of whack so it looks like 265/75. Also I like the balance and handling etc so I don't want to over modify especially when my missus has to drive it around (if only I could make her drive her ...

Hi,
Anyone know the largest size of All terian (proberly BFG) tyre that will fit a stock 2001 Pajero. Also if I gain 1.5 -2 inch through a suspension upgrade can I also put larger size tyre. I would like to know the maximum size. Thanks
J

why not just buy a zook or tojo ?

Hi,
I'm new to this section as I have only recently upgraded to a 2001 Pajero V6 Exceed. My enquires relate to the suspension set up, what upgrades are possible? Does anyone here rate the gen 3 pajero for off roading? It drives beautifully on the road but am wondering if it's decent enough off ...

Sad to see the old feroza gone since I was kind of hoping to hang onto it but the love/ hate relationship ended (I loved to hate it and it loved to prove me wrong, I hate that). But now it's onto bigger and better things and the payero is a more practical wagon(itsin a different class) yet to be ...

You can get the air con kits from diahatsu auto recyclers at archerfield. From memory they cost around $600 but it depends on stock and the demand is high in summer. Not sure about the install but should be pretty straight foward for an air-con dude.

Yes despite all the frustrations mechanically it gave me I really liked the Feroza it was cool fun to hoon in. Not very cool fun for an infant child in the backseat though, jeez am I'm getting on or what.

At least I know the old blacknsilver will go to a good home. And I don't have to be the one ...

A question about the vehicle. Because it has spring over conversion would the roadworthy cover it for driving on Qld roads?

I have to get my money sorted fast so I can buy this.

Not trying to discourage you buddy but it'll be a I'm gayer than aids! to get regoed in QLD. We're a little ...

I've had a change of plans. Got an offer on the Feroza which means I and it are parting ways.
Looks like I'll be joining Mitsubitchi clan in a white 2001 Exceed, which is pretty bling and drives much better than the old battle axe feroza.

Well, I printed off pages 54-95 of the workshop manual so I have a clue what's doing. Once I have the head I'll get old mate to get it machined at work. I think the quote might be for a whole gasket kit when I only need head,inlet manifold, exhast manifold and tappit cover gaskets, I'll worry about ...

Thanks, I got the service manual downloaded from here awhile ago and it's got all the info I need. Spare parts quoted me $136 for the waterpump and $220 for the head gasket (not sure if thats the full kit or what). So looks like I got a little project to keep myself amused after work this week ...

Has anyone who has replaced a head gasket posted a DYI on it. Been quoted a small fortune to have it done so I'm gunna do it myself with the help of a mechanic mate. Also, how much are the gasket kits and a water pump? Note to self: never drive overheating vehicle.
Any info apprieciated
cheers ...

Hi mate,

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago with the brake charge light flashing when you were in idle and going off under acceration. I just sprayed wd 40 and hit with a screwdriver and hammer. Strangley enough that worked hasn't skip a beat since, over 1000 ks of on and off road ...

If you are losing power under aceleration then it could possibly be a problem with the crank. This can be serious and result in bent rods if the crank pully skips. In any case you may need a decent mechanic to sort the issue before you end up broken down and needing a tow. Have you changed your ...

Tell me about it I've had to change mine three times in 5 years, and it's a time consuming job if your not mechanical. I remember thinking how good I was for doing the exchange myself only to find my cooling system leaking like a sift. Why couldn't they bolt the alternator near the top of the engine ...

I hit it with a hammer and screwdriver and it's working fine now, I check the connections before next weeks trip. Fingers crossed

Hi
Im having problems with the dreaded BRAKE CHARGE light on the dash again. It seems to be flashing on and off but stays on when idle and when you accerate over 2000 rpm it goes off. I'm hoping it's a loose wire or something and not the alternator. The alternator is aftermarket bosch and I wouldn ...

I mainly want the snork cause it looks tuff, purely cosmetic. I'm not actually ever going to test on fording rivers, not after taking the Skyline swimming in the Tingalpa creek. God I loved that car.

Does anyone have a link to a snokel section ie dimensions etc, (there was some instructions posted on doing it). Also does anyone know what tool is used to cut the hole in the panel for the snork. I was thinking about using a drill with a door hole cutter but not sure?

Cheers

Jimmy

lets compare an 80 series to a zook shall we..!

Stephen you are such a captain obvious.. If a feroza had solid axle you would be in serious sh*t.

80 series??? go back to yota land ahh well, not tooooooo much shame in being out-driven by a girl in a HUGE cruiser

if the fez had a solid axle, it ...

Why not get stuck in the first place

Didn't take long for the fish in this pond to start biting. Stumpy don't get upset and cry just because you wanted to pay out of PV and you got raged on yourself. You mustn't call people arsehats.


Relax, stop to smell the flowers everyone knows Zooks are cool, My missus drives one thanks to me.

(not REALLY trying to stir up trouble, just SimplyPV dude, do u honestly think ur roza/rocky is gonna out-drive even a mildly modded zook???? )[/quote]

You shouldn't go comparing apples to oranges. Are you overcompensating for something you lack?
A mildly modded Feroza would go ...

There has been some debate over lift blocks in this discussion board somewhere. Think nylons are currently illegal in QLD but not NSW. Mine's in Qld and got nylon they are about 50mm in diameter from memory. I made sure I sprayed the visible ones black and got the bullbar and rear bumpers lifted to ...

I'd have to agree with the comments made about TJM. They are useless, my girlfriends works for the mongrels and I still haven't got my set what I ordered ages ago. I'm doubly spewing because a custom set was available at the wrecker for $150 which I was gunna buy but ended up in a barney with the ...

Yeah I was cornering too fast proberly hit the island at more like 40ks by the time I threw the ancor. It certainly pulled the vehicle up pretty quick with a massive bang, however I was suprised the only damage was to the rim.

until you smash em on a rock and they crack (i.e. not fixable) as opposed to steelies which will bend (i.e. fixable).

Have you ever had to ??

In all the years I've been driving off-road, I have never bent a steel rim or cracked an alloy one.

Before the engine conversion, I used to have to hit ...
