Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a D21 which has had the 2.7 diesel removed and a td27 fitted. It's a good ute but because the td27 doesn't rev as high as the naturally aspirated diesel, my highway gearing is no good. You might not encounter this as badly because the petrol diffs are 4.625:1 where my diesel diffs are 4.875:1 ...

cheers for the input, my tub is an oz-east one. It needs a bit of love but its not beyond repair. I got 2 Dellow bell housings with the car, I need to remove the gearbox and find out if one is turbo pattern and one is Trimatic. I spoke to mark's but they said they don't to bj gearbox kits anymore ...

Hi, chasing any information on transplanting a holden 5L V8 or LS1 into a 40 series cruiser. The 40 already has a 253 mounted to a 5 speen cruiser box via a dellow bell housing. will the 5L holes line up with the 253/308 bell housing or are there different bell housing patterns or arrangements ...

has anybody got any information on where to find a detroit locker (or air locker) - though ive never heard of them being made for a niva centre. Apparently a fiat limited slip differential will fit in a niva housing but im not sure if any modding is required? any help appreciated cheers

not a bad deal if i lived closer.. postage is a killer. cheers anyway. i'll have a hunt around up here for the silver 10 spoke alloys.

Looks awesome mate, I imagine the 5 and 10 spoke gv rims would be similar in shape except for the pattern, (clearances etc). Were they difficult to source?

Has anybody tried fitting 2005 grand Vitara rims (16x7 alloy 10 spoke) to a Sierra or Lada Niva? they all share the (5x139.7) stud pattern as far as I can tell? being a larger rim than the original sierra or Niva rim I imagine they will clear the disc brake assembly.. Any feedback appreciated ...

I have a full fibreglass body on my SWB 40 series. Has anyone ever come across dramas with registering a vehicle with an aftermarket body like this? is it something that needs compliancing? Thanks

I have a 40 series cruiser with a Holden 253 and a 5 speed box. It wont go into 5th (just grinds). The box looks the same as a mates Bundera, it looks like a steel 4 speed box with a 5th gear section added in before the transfer case. I'm wondering if this is a popular conversion? Are there many ...
