The centre diff needs to be locked to drive with no front driveshaft. If you dont have a centre diff lock switch you can only do that by putting it in low range.

you must be miss informed as the 1hd-t does have glowplugs.

You could be right but I've never seen a diesel with direct injection with glowplugs. They usually have some sort of preheater.
I can't see either in the worksop manual on the 1HDT.

1HDT doesn't have glowplugs so you can rule that out.

q45 asks which balloon is experiencing the highest atmospheric pressure (i.e. the balloons obviously aren't in the same place). One could be on the top of koziosko, another at sea level.

I stand by my comment - if this were a VCE/Tafe or Uni exam it would have been far better written!

I agree ...

How do you explain Q45. The balloons are all exposed to the same pressure on the outside which would be 1 atmosphere.
Maybe the rubber was thicker and harder to stretch on the smaller one?
The only way the pressure could be different is if it was in a pressure chamber of some sort, I can't see one ...

The vavle came out as I run heavy duty tubes in them as well
I love the tyres too therve been great up until this
I'm preety sure they wouldn.t of been flat as they were only pumped up a week ago after going to the snow :D :D :D

Cheers Dan

They can go flat you know, ever heard of a puncture ...

What a good job on that. Even if I do say so myself.
It's the same justjap intercooler as shown above.
No need to cut holes or leave the grill off.

Old thread here but with a 2" lift on a 96 is there a need for Caster Correction?

Tony if you want i'll swap you my radius arms with 2 degree bushes in it..

Thanks but i think i kind of got it sorted this morning. It turned into a turtle at about 60Ks :bad-words: :bad-words:

Well it is friday ...

You can pick up one for $400 but do you want one to last or do you want it to break?

I meant ARB locker. I've got 3 of them and I will probably get another 1 soon and got a quote of $1050.

Surely if you can't get a locker for under $1100 here your not trying.

Had the same thing happen to our 4wd with a 903 cummins. Turned out the battry voltage was low causing the starter soliniod to arc and weld together.

Oh yeah, it,s a 4wd tractor.

Done the same. Just cover the guard and bottom of the jigsaw with some masking tape. It doesn't hurt to have a practice run on an old panel either

i dont see why you'd have a problem with 3 inch spring and body lift mine when at ride height sitting level the 35" tyre on the rear sat an inch up on the chasis. as in where the rear steel bumpstop is. i even ran this setup without the diff forward for about 4 trips and was only gettin light to ...

I'm going but it's 3+ hours from me.

NISSAN?????

I'd say it has taken teeth off the front of the countershaft, or broken it.

thanks guys, when you say broken bearing retainer what are you referring to? the ones on the outside of the reduction housing? Unless they have broken recently i doubt this is the prob as i just rebuilt it.


It was on the top shaft and it was about 4inches across, inside the transfer case ...

Mine used to jump out of low going downhill and when I finally pulled it apart there was a broken bearing retainer allowing the shaft to move one way enough to make it jump out.
Cant remember which bearing it was (maybe input?) but the retainer was broken into about 10 bits and took about 4 weeks ...

Yep.
Where are you and how much?

I'm glad you asked. I'd like yo know as well.

My 96 multivalve got 10.5L per 100ks when I tried it and the previous owner said he had got down to under 10litres.
Probably needs injectors doing now and thats nearly $800.
And yeah, no ABS.

That crap football allways seems to be more important than everything else

Had a look at some 285/75x15 bighorns and they only have a speed rating of M (130kmh) and are unsuitable for a wagon, only good for a ute apparently

+dj_hansen+ wrote:Mate of mine (Chippy - 80 series) is going the buckshot because they come in a higher load rating than the bighorns...

There's only 20lbs difference in a 33x12.5x15 and 285/75x16 are the same.
All the details can be found at http://www.maxxis.com/products/automotive/

15 or 16 Must be 15s, 16s seem to be a fair bit dearer.

Looks like I wasted my money on a safari turbo and intercooler then

But then I might keep it a bit longer than 2 months

Bighorns are 2 ply. Well that's what it says on the sidewall of my 10.5x15s on the hilux


What size are you looking at scottmcguinnes. I'm looking at getting some 33s (285/75x16) for the 80.
