can register with a gen 3 5.7, they'res a kit mob in melbourne produceing them, called Rapid 7's, just damn expensive

i think u guys are gettin a bit carried away, this is a car that has a kerb weight just pushing 500kg, even with a 100kw corrola engine they have a better power/weight ratio than most registerable cars. anyway i've seen the 4.0L making over 1000hp all u need is a couple of superchargers hangin off ...

they'd pass those shitty new emissions laws wouldnt they?

anyone know any good liberal engineers around the gold coast? RUSS useto be good but i heard it was closed down??

if he's getting into mini truck scene i'd be very careful. the boys in blue have taken a real shine to them i've just been told of carter customs (mini truck workshop here on the coast) being raided by the police defecting every car in the shop. going through his paper work and pinging every car he ...

its not for my hilux, im toying with the idea of droping one in a lotus 7 replica. the idea being halfcuts are about the same price as say an SR20 turbo (lots or rice factor) why not go alloy V8

i got a mind blank, do any Half cut lexus V8's come with manuals, if so, 5 or 6 speed? are they rare?

i just got some from the wreckers, $60 for me hilux

i had the same thing but it dissapeared wen i rebuilt the gearbox and new clutch

sorry i thought i did, Ln65 hilux, 2 inch body lift, 2 inch ome lift. 33 muds

hey got a bit of a scare yesterday driving to work when some stupid woman pulls out infront of me and slams on the breaks causing me to jump on the traps quite hard and thats where things went pear shaped. rear wheels locked up and started coming around and then that floating feeling just like when ...

you guys should try workin at a servo for a while
most comon excuse: i dont normally drive this car its my husband's/wife's how do u release the filler cap, does water go in here?? oh and i got a doosie yesterday from a mate who should know better: "brake fluid goes in your power steering doesnt ...

im looking at making them 186mm eye to eye which should give about 2 inches of lift. anyone know wat diameter hilux spring bushes are, i think 16 mm but the ones im measureing off are really chopped out to like 21mm. got 50x8mm flat bar and 50x50x3mm box for the brace. wat bolts do i use high ...

its not crunching or anything, you just have to find 3rd and it slots in whereas before all gears were fairly loose and you could just throw in the general area of 3rd and it would go in. all are tighter, especally 5th and neutral is very loose compared to before.

comeon guys gotta buy the steel in an hour. as far as i can gather from the previous posts, every inch longer u make the shackle u get 1/2 an inch lift, and dropping the front shackle mount will give approx 2 inches of lift?? so a rear shackle 4 inches longer than standard??

hey im gonna knock up some extended rear shackles for something to do at uni tomorow (havnt finished designing the tube tray yet and i have to look like im doing something) so im wondering wat length to make them to level the truck out wen i drop the front shackle mount and also wat thickness steel ...

got the truck back on friday, all fixed. yay. ended up just getting a standard clutch as there wasnt a heavy duty one on the coast wen i needed it. but for $82 (gotta love trade price) i can burn out 3 before i could buy a daikin. whole job ended up costing me $860 for all new bearings, seals, 4th ...

getting rebuild right now, find out about the clutch when he gets it out. get it back on friday night and go for a play at ormeau on saturday mabe. anyone else goin out? hopefully i wont break anything this weekend last couple of weeks have been bad; steering coupling, gearbox

hey thanks guys she's booked in tomorow, figured better get it done soon as i been told if u leave it too long ur up for new gearsets etc. also mite put a new clutch in if the old one is worn, anyone know any heavy duty aftermarket ones that are good??

hey i've developed a wining/grinding noise in 5th and to a lesser extent 3rd in my G52 (thats wats in a LN65 with a 2L isnt it) i've been told all bearings are rooted and nerang diffs and gearboxs will rebuild it for around $650. is that a good price? is it worth looking at a second hand box from ...

how hard would it be to engineer a 3/4 rear setup in qld or would it be impossible? i was also playing with a bolt on type setup idea that would allow normal shackle mount for road driving and 4 bolts to go wheeling. but do u need to remove the rear shackle mount for the springs to work properly??

do duals offer any reduction in high range?? ie to allow running bigger tyres on road?

a mechanic mate who's been doing body lifts for years reckons he's always just let the spline slide out a bit on the steering box end, just like i've done. is it safe to drive at all?

anyone know if its safe?

hey had a fun little episode on sunday at canungra on sunday, snaped the steering coupling on the colum. thats easy fixed but i think the arm that goes from the steering box to the drag link (all standard steering) is also bent inwards. its got rock rash on it back to shiny metal, guess thats why ...

are they 36 x 11.5 x 16 ?? someone told me they're just over $200 each new, thats a very cheap 36inch tyre. mabe he's full of it tho.

wat springs and shocks were your running to get that flex with stock steering??

yeh i'll try and get some time to scan the pics in over the weekend. they're a bit small so u gotta look hard to see the steering thats y i wanted more info. if u dont wanto move the diff foreward i can see y this isnt just as good as a z draglink. only thing i could see that would be a problem is ...

i know that but uni isnt cheap and wat im looking for is a budget solution, if im too cheap to buy a S draglink can i afford x-over.

hey i was reading an old 4wd monthly (2003 tuff truck i think) and noticed a feature on a roofless 1st gen red hilux with flames down the side. anyone remember it? anyway looking at the pics he's running 2 inch lifted springs with 3 inch dropped hangers with a standard draglink mounted ontop of the ...
