Hey guys i just bought a 91 nissan patrol (Petrol) and im wondering what the best mods were for more power. i was thinking of putting: -2.5" extractors 3" pipe and full flow cat -K & N Air filter -3" Stainless Snorkel - Upgrade points to the electronic ignition system -Fitting aftermarket Holley ...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone can give me some more ideas on my current problem: Current Problem: -i buggered my pinion (breaking 3 teeth straight off) i managed to pick up a second hand crownwheel and pinion. I had to machine down the new pinion to fit with the Airlocker housing due to it being ...

agree with sic lux, preload is extremely important.... gq diffs are 200 times stronger than any lux or cruiser diff, bottom line if you want a trouble free driveline throw the trol diffs in or better yet just buy one, you wont look back, gu4.8 200kw turning 36"pedes for nearly 4years now, never had ...

that was pure rubbish that came out of your mouth. moderators ban this mofo :finger: haha why a gq of all things? 80 series landcruiser dont tickle ya fancy? iv been told that i have a lead foot even with a 2.2lt im breaking things. i would like to stick with toyota but id be getting an 80 series ...

Hi guys just trying to figure out if ill sell my lux or not and just wondering how much i should expect to get. it is a 1986 toyota hilux tray. it has: Done 2.5 years ago: -Brand new 2.2lt 4y fitted -Reconditioned Carby -Complete Respray -New front and rear tail shafts and uni joints -ARB Front and ...

what do you do with the car? if it does not see much on road use then reducing the backlash in the rear diff reduces the chances of smashing things. backlash is recommended for on road but no back lash is good for off road only, as no backlash on road can cause too much heat. and yes using stronger ...

Hi guys just here for some input into my current problem with the lux. just the other week i broke a tooth off the pinion. The air locker, crown wheel and pinion have been replaced by ARB not long ago (just long enough to miss warranty). Now my questions 1: why does this keep happening? 2: is it a ...

you wouldn't happen how much it would cost ruffly would you?

Hey guys, wanting to put just straight rubber mud flaps on my tray and get rid of the alloy section due to going bigger tires they will rub. Just wondering where you guys get your rubber from. Due to wanting something about 1mm thick Clark Rubber wants a fortune. Any ideas?

fair point

would it be a better idea to do my suspension work before i get a new solid tailsharft made? cos when i lift the length changes doesn't it?

Some of the later Luxes had 1piece tailshafts. Theres info here somewhere on what to get one off. But if you get another centre bearing, fill the rubber boot full of sikaflex, apparently, the bearing isnt failing, its the rubber boot around it that gives up. So fill the rubber full of sikaflex a ...

my center bearing has gone again and im thinking about putting in a solid rear tailshaft. my questions are, is there anything else i have to change when i do it? is it simple as just measuring from the center of the diff to the center of the transfer (middle of the tailshaft)? how much ruffly does ...

Hey guys im just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to fit an internal cage into a single cab lux. Iv looked around the net with no such luck. Does anyone know of a member that has managed to do it?

Hey guys just a few questions: 1. How do people put their dash back in after cage has been installed? or do you just make a new one out of metal or fiberglass? 2. How much does it normally cost material wise to make an internal cage? 3. do you guys have and pics of diagrams or finished internal ...

Just noticed the other day that when i switch my high beams and spotties on the passenger side headlight will randomly flash on and off..... any ideas what would cause this and how to fix it?

I think you might be better off getting the reco box. I think that if you have to ask that question then perhaps your not confident enough doing the job yourself. The advantage to doing your own work, apart from the dollar savings is that you know the job's been done right. If it were me personally ...

shouldnt have to cut and reweld to convert a forward shift to a top shift...I converted my 07 transfercase from a forward shift to a top shift by getting the shoft rods out of an 03 V6 hilux transfercase which is a top shift and swapping them over......done. surely you can find the correct length ...

Im in the middle of trying to figure out the best way to go with doing a rebuild on a hilux gearbox.

1. buy a rebuild kit priced at 350
2. do a Reco exchange for 650

do you guys think its worth the effort to do it myself or get it done by someone else and get warranty?

i need to rebuild my current single transfer case and i am considering on buying one that i can rebuild at leisure out of the car and do swaps... then eventually using the orignial for the dual setup... my question to you guys is: are the LN106 dual cab hilux transfer's the same as my 86 hilux (yn67 ...

thanks guys for your suggestions... it ended up being points they weren't opening enough .. all fixed ... wheeling tomorrow

and where would that be located??

i ended up creating a wire from the battery to the coil to boost the spark and it got me started so i could drive it to the workshop where i can test the condenser and change the plugs
