So if i want to widen a hilux front diff what do i get the axel out of?

are cruiser and hilux same axel splines?

cheers

Z()LTAN wrote:How much wider Daz?

say 50mm a side 100mm over all would be good 80 diffs would be good but dont think ill get any of them at the right price real easy

Fitting the 60s diffs should be no drama either DAZ, as you can get them cheap.
Theres a thread about fitting 60s diffs under a Luz here on page 1 of Yota Tech too.
I think it said the 60s long side is the same length, but the short side is longer than a Lux.
are they the same axel spline into ...

You can always just throw the 60 front diff complete under there as it's already the correct width, same as IFS rear diff ;)

Will have a bigger front pumpkin but if you intend to punish it, that's not a bad thing.

have considered that but petrol hilux diffs offer better diff clearance and 4.8s ...

If you run the IFS rear housing, which is wider than the SAF housing.
Im not 100% on how to widetrack the front, but its something to do with IFS hub spacers.

Aza has just done this to his new Lux, I know of a few other Lux guys that have done it too, I know Ashleybmx has done it.
Maybe have a ...

I want to make a wider hilux front diff. I can get a 60 series front diff for bugger all do the axels in hilux and landcruiser share the same spline?

what is the cheapest way to make a wide track hilux front diff?

4.8 diffs are cheap and easy to get for hilux

Thanks Darren

yes that has helped thank you cheers Daz

I am stripping selling a 4 runner with a V6 commodore conversion it was origionly a 5 speed with the elec select 4wd (no free wheeling hubs) will this conversion bolt to any other hilux gear box or is it different to all other hilux gear box bolt pattens?

Thanks in advance if you are able to help ...

FYI to thoughs following this thread and interested

firstly thanks to thoughs that offered some advise etc it helped heaps thanks.

i got the 80 back together tonight but it would not start so i rotated the dizzy 180 deg and it sort of fired when adjusted fully one way.

I removed the bolt from ...

FYI update "if i dont laugh ill cry"

Worked on the 80 tonight and removed

Grill, headlights, condenser, radiator, A/C pump. Power steer pump, air cleaner, rocker cover, dizzy, side cover, rocker gear, push rods, put my finger in lifters slid them up, pulled cam out front and plop one, of the ...

Thanks again people i understand all that I think lol

i went to an engine builder in town yesterday he said $120 drop off cam and he will give it back with new timing gear fitted. He said a 3F the valves are so far away from pistons they will not hit. I refer to valve retention as they have no ...

thank you very much guys. Is oild pump going to be an issue?

Also how do i remove the lifters?

thanks

You need to take the cam out and put it in a press. It is a bastard of a job. I used a 50 ton press and it was putting in some effort before it popped off.
You might be able to grind the side of remains of your existing ( dont hit the camshaft with the grinder :shock: ) one to release the pressure ...

I was under the impression they have valve retention? is there any way of checking before i bother going ahead pulling head off or fixing it?

I have a 92 80 series with a 3F. It has stripped the timing gear.

I need help im not sure how to get what is left of it off the end of the cam? I have removed the sir clip

Any help would be very much appreciated. Also when i go to fit the new gear is it as simple as just lining up some dots on ...

I think most the 4 runner gear should fit most suff is easy enough to retro fit between models.

I cut one into a dual cab ute i rekon it looked better than most cut 80s i have seen. Check out the link below and scroll down the pics untill you see a silver 80 seires its bobbed 150mm. Cheers Daz

Thanks to all for your help.

I think the problem was the wire between the fuse and the relay was to small.

I need a reliable cooling system so, A mate and i rewired the whole thing tonight
all wired in 6mm wire (fits in yellow connectors not in blue)

Wired both fans 100% individual circuts
40 ...

reply from mate on another forum thoughts? Sorry i dont have the gear to measure amp and volt draw will try and borrow somthing tomorrow

cheers Daz

2 reasons
1 your fans are drawing too much power like mine were
2 cheap realy are a bit dodgey
Have you tried seeing how much power they draw ...

you realy need to measure the load. the earth should be the same size as the combined supply wire ie if you have 2 x 6mm supply wire you should have 2 x 6mm earths

What is the size of fuses you are using, mini or standard size?

Standard blade fuse. Earth is good size looks like twin 6mm. wire ...

Check the fuse connections for corrosion.

Check what voltage is at the fuse with the fans going

no corrosion all like new

both fuses to melt at same time i think seems odd. A mate i just called said for me to check if i have wired a common earth and that it is big enough with good connections ...

ledgend80 wrote:how many amps are the fans drawing

I dont know not sure how to find out. They are the standard ford ones some one might know what they draw?

anyone?

Two 30 amp fuses feeding power to elec fans melted. What would case this? I replaced them and fans are working again?

First of all my car has a rear mounted radiator so fans run a lot

Cooling system works well as long as fans are working

Has ford twin elec fans i think AU?

Both fans are wired ...
