That's informative!!!

Yes you need rego.
I've heard on the grapevine that the drags might be returning this year. Anyone else heard this?

Did this happen?

June long weekend.....great spectating and really good if this is your first competition

Competitors should not have too pay More then we do! We pay to put on the Show dor them to charge to See! It cost us fuel, time away from family, breakages, time of work, etc. Let's face it, I love competing and have rejoined tough tracks so I can but this shits me up the wall. With out us they ...

Hi Modified Toy,Some great advice thankyou. I'll give all you say a check. I know the TCC works as when it is locked heat will go down on gauge and I can see it on the electronic controller. May have to have a play with the Compushift controller as I think you can reduce the speed when the TCC locks ...

Doesn't feel like it is slipping. Pretty firm feel (lol).
Presumably I could get a thermo cooler from a reputable trans place? Problem may be space. Looks like I'll be having a look this weekend.

Thankyou.
I'm running Maxi lite trans oil as spec'ed for gearbox.
I had a second trans cooler fitted, original was the existing Patrol. Size of second one is approx 300mm (12") x (9"). Was fitted by supposedly gearbox experts. No fan to coolers only thru air.

Hi Guys, Have a GU with 6.5 chev fitted and 4L80E trans. Trans works great under normal conditions. When towing up steep inclines she will overheat and the electronics shut the gear box down before damage is done. Also when I'm doing low 4wd stuff she will do the same...so obviously when she's ...

Hi,
would be good if you gave more info on what the events are about....maybe on your website or here?

Family friendly event for everyday cars.

Don't hijack his thread....do your own

Hi All, Have looked around but can't find info on how to strip and clean starter on GQ TB42. Pretty sure she'll be filthy. Firstly can the average jo blo do this? If so can someone give me some info on what I need to do. Or would it be simpler to take to auto elec? Would like to save the dollars if ...

I used Stihls religiously ....
Something around 50-60cc with a 3/8 chain should be plenty versatile for you.

Agreed. Stihl gets my vote. Have 2 x 660's and smaller farmboss. Use them all the time...no problems at all

bellhousing may be full of mud.? or is it in neutral on the 4wd lever, thats my fav trick to play.pull the boot of the bellhousing where the throwout fork goes in , insert garden hose and turn on tap. this normally fixes it but you may take some time if it has been sitting. watch the colour of the ...

Had a play in mud and water 2 months ago and have left GQ as it is since then. Went to move it yesterday and wheels turn but when I let out clutch she's solid and will not move. What's the best way to free this? Good ol pull with snatch and another car? Or does anyone have a clever solution?

He'll forever be throwing money at cooling, parts, suspension, parts, cooling, cooling, cooling, cooling. getting the idea? Rubbish. I've had one in my Patrol for 3 years and 60000km and towing 2 ton of van. If it's done properly it's not an issue. Cooling no problem IF you put right rad in. IMO ...

All caused by some dickhead at the comp freeing up a front hub, presumably for a laugh. Some laugh..... Also did 3-4 others. Whoever it was needs to be strung up. Luckily the 80 came back to earth and didn't do the whole flip.

15. spot taken will put up name 2morow (left briefcase at work) not many comps with in 2.5hrs from brizzy that you can watch 45 cars competing at the one time, so any spectators that are still deciding to come along or not should definately do it... should be a good weekend!! Its a good comp for ...

Hey u should have been a spectator....real poor too. No good views and no one with an idea of where to go and no one caring either! My first and last.

I'm not sure this is too true?????

Thanks. Hope to see some of you there!

Anyone know what time I have to be at Rover to catch the first two stages on Friday?

Thanks for all your help guys....I know what this weekends car job is now!
Cheers Ian

When I clean them is it ok to use water blaster on the rad?

Told you I'm not a mechanic!!! Sorry... However, there are other finned coolers in front of the rad. Would this be what you are referring too?

I'm not a mechanic so just looking for some advice! Went in some mud at Rover...sh*t stuff! Ever since then my rad and Auto trans are starting to badly overheat. Assume rad because of mud in fins etc...which I'll clean off. However am I right in saying that the Auto also has a cooling fins at the ...

Hey, just wondering, how would spectators(if thats how you spell it) get around the big day big track?? perhaps a "SHUTTLE BUS" LOL harrisbm "Can we please keep the crap talk off this thread as we are looking at an event that requires serious input." It may have some humour in the comment but it is ...

If you have a look at the american mags you will see very few people do much with the old chevy diesel engines. Talk to Brunswick Diesels in Perth. They fit 6.5 and are doing over 8-9 vehicles a week. I have one fitted and have had no problems at all. Even though its "old" technology at least you ...
