Giggles, I doublt a 1HZ would get better fuel economy when towing My 1HZ with DTS turbo chewed 22 23 litres/hundred with the car trailer on...... My V8 100, chews 21 with the same trailer on...... If you can get a petty auto, I would just drive it as is. A conversion will cost you more in the long ...

mine got exactly the same, 16 on hwy and 22 - 25 towing a caravan or loaded car trailer

Paul

Hopefully, will be there for a run!

Hope you're right..............be nice to see a few cruisers compete instead of 20 nissans

Dave, will there be any restriction on who can enter this event?

Paul

Mine owes about 16g all in

Arb lockers
Longfields
Stud upgrade in rear
3 inch lift
36 inch pedes
Beadlocks
Highmount with freespool
Cage
Racing seats
Harnesses

That would be the absolute minimum, it was built for modified class, but is currently being converted to open class with a new motor

Thanks to all the organizers for an awesome event.

Thanks to the Allset team, Scotty, Jake, Mick and dangers for bringing me into their team
No DNFs and no breakages all weekend, it was a great debut for the 80 hope to keep it up.

Hopefully not too many, give us a bit more of a chance, I think we might need it.


Paul

Woo hoo, what an awesome event..... cant wait to see how many laps the 60 punched out We will be back with some axle mods, and custom engine mounts next time round. Thanks to all the organisers, and all competitors. This was probably the best run event i have been to, awesome well run, awesome ...

You wont have to swap the complete axle, as long as the HJ47 is a fully floating axle you can just swap the HJ60 backing plates and brakes onto the housing



Paul

looking forward to getting out there for a look at this, finally. Should be a good comp


Paul

Although I plan to be reasonably gentle, well probably not, anyway the type of event I am building it up for is the 10 Hour rock crawling race with does have a lot of off again on again stabbing on the accelerator and some speed sections. Probably most will be low range though. Shane I wouldnt be ...

I would be using the GXL cntres if i could, they are awsome strong, stronger than any "sunraysia" you will find and probably stronger ( or at least as strong) than the "rockcrawler" rims.

Machine them down to suit your 10 inch rims


Paul

are the 2h's a good motor on fuel ? I used to get around 13L/100km in my 60 on 33s" tyres. Oh and for the record, I wouldn't use a VN v6 for anything other then a boat anchor *shudder* :finger: hahaha what have you done to it to get 13L/100km? probably nothing, thats about what mine got, with a top ...

Dude, by the time you factor in an engine swap, and engineering, you will have spent several thousand dollars. This could be better spent on fuel, until you work out what you want. If you decide to keep it, you can then decide to do an engine swap Chances are, in 12-18 months you are going to want ...

2h is diesel
2f is petrol

you have been corrected

The 16 inch GXL rims are 0
All other 80 series are -16
All 60/75 series are -25

Check your GXL rims again tiler, they are true 0 offset

Steve,

I am building along the same lines as you, I am using the Part time 80 series transfer case. Not sure if it is going to stand up to 500hp lon term, but is the strongest transfer i could find (and afford) at the time. Maybe the new V8 70 series, ones might be the ticket

Paul

probably wouldnt drive it too far but, the offset on the rims is different, making the track very narrow

Paul

Is the circlip really needed? You need to stop the axle drifting in and out, in a toyota, it really needs to run hard up against the bronze bush so there are 2 ways to do this 1. run the circlip 2. martack - put a little tack weld on the axle spline so that it cannot go into the spider gear any ...
