hi guys i currently am driving a vn calais/commodore v8 5 speed and am wanting to sell to buy a cheap to run 4wd. can anyone tell if im better off getting a sierra or vitara in respect to availability of aftermarket parts ie snorkles/bullbars ect and also fuel consumption ect. i know the vitara is ...

hi if your running a snorkle be careful as they can play havoc with the lpg. the extra induction of the snorkle makes them stall and fart all the time .they will run fine when standing still but when you take off and are travelling at speed and then brake to a stop they will play up. i had mine at ...

thereason for them going socheap is that they chew tha fuel bad.expect about 300-350 ks out of a tank of gas(90lts)useable and 400-450ks to a tank petrol.(90lts). around 20-22lts per 100 ks .be careful as snorkles can play havoc with lpg systems as they force air into engine harder and you could ...

didnt think it really matters but here you go fixed.

i only get 250 ks out of mine even on a trip. im thinking i wish i could get 400ks to a tank. im running 6 inch lift, winch,35s,roof basket, though. kind off gotta expect that but i guess. even before i had all the mods done was still struggling to get anywhere near 300ks from 90 litres.probly still ...

hi its probly not the gas unless the water system is leaking in the converter. as for the gasket. ive been told they have stretch bolts in the head so you have to replace them too i was quoted about 700 for gaskets and bolts ect.as for the probs youve been having with the gas deos it stall heaps and ...

hi i was wondering if the 80 series engines are the same as 100 series i know they are both twin cam 4.5 litre ive had a look and the only difference i can see is some of the injection and dizzy would the later model gear fit onto the earlier motor.im thinking of selling my 80 series but my 100 ...

hi its also easier to disconnect the steering from the hub first as it makes it heaps easier to put back together without the steering pulling things around while trying to line up the bolts ect its a bit more work but worth it in the end cos its hard trying to line up everything and still keep the ...

OK THANKS FOR THE INFO GUYS I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE ELSE THAT THEY GET ABOUT 500 KS TO THE TANK SO THIS SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT HOPE TO GET ONE SOON AS MY 100 SERIES GETS 400-450 FROM 90 LITRES SO I THINK A ZOOK IS THE GO PLOBLY DONT REALLY NEED IT TO BE TOO MODDED AS IVE ALSO GOT AN 80 SERIES THATS ...

yeh its just a build up of unburnt gas in your exhaust. at least thats what my mechanic told me. you could try taking it ti an lpg mechanic to have the gas system tuned . also do you run a snorkle if so this could also be causing the problem if so try disconnecting the snorkle rubber duct from your ...

hi again im pretty unfamiliar with the part time setup and i was just having a thought and im thinking does the part time setup actually move the mounting of the shaft downwards therefore reducing the angle on the unis or does it still maintain the same angle as standard. coz i thought it would ...

hi mine was the front aswell. mine was also vibrating at about 40 k ph before the double cardon and i figure if i need it off road probly better to do it this way as once your off road and in 4wd (with a 2wd adapter) your still stressing the unis and sooner or later there gonna snap.wouldnt want to ...

hi i had a 2 inch lift on my 80 and it wandered pretty bad just with that.was told that you need castor bushes at least for 2 inch so i put them in and it was perfect. i now have 6 inch lift with plates and its overall pretty good considering the amount of lift. as for the panhards try measureing ...

go to supercheap i here they have a 20% off sale buy some export paint about 3 bux just make sure you clean the surface properly as already stated i just used metho worked fine dont use this paint on stuff that flexes alot though like seats . ok on dash or doors ect. got heaps of colours.go really ...

hi ive got a 100 series with the same engine started blowing smoke at 150000 ks with full sevice history the valve stem seals are rooted was quite disapointed not sure how the previous owner drove it and even toyota couldnt beleive it needless to say they didnt want to know about it though even ...

hi just thought id give rap to gibson engineering at edgeworth. did a doublecardon joint for me using my shaft for $450 bargain shoped around and found most were $600 plus . was a really nice bloke too not a smartass like some are(not all!).pm me for there number if required

better off just fitting the rest first and maybe doing a flip arm later . mines really not that bad with 6 inch. im not gonna bother with flip arm. i had a 2 inch in when i bought the car with no castor bushes and seriously it was worse with that than now.also if you need a double cardon just got ...

hi sounds like the gas is freezing up in the lines on your system .normally they have the water hoses from engine connected to the converter to help stop this from happening. my system atually starts on petrol and then clicks over to gas as you reach a certain rev range this is to allow the water to ...

also forgot to mention i went to goulburn on the weekend from central coast and it sat on 110 no probs all the way so you should be ok with highway driving anyway.im running 35 inch bfg muds
