Thanks for all the responses! What's a good suspension set-up to run on these old girls? Also 94lux, what turbos are people putting on these trucks?

Pulled the motor today. The sump was full of thick sludge that's about as far as I got. Hopefully find the full damage tomorrow!

Chris.

The engine is a 2.8ltr. I'm going to re build that myself! I was wondering if there is any other things people do to improve the car whole whilst it's off the road without spending millions

Hi guys,
I just scored myself a 1997 4x4 hilux. It's in pretty good nick, although it has a seized motor, which I'm told is pretty common with this model. As this is my first ever hilux and not knowing a great deal about them I was chasing some info on what people do to them to make them better. It ...

Well done mate on the top ten finish. You must be stoked!

Any chance you could put up some specs on your car?

Whats one of these bad boys cost to build??

Looks good!

Are these windows curved or just a straight piece of glass?

I am worried about a straight piece popping out!

Cheers.

I have just bought a 90 Shorty and the rear window seals are rusted to the shithouse!

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to get replacements but as a one piece window?

I went into a glass shop today and the dude said that there is a curve and a straight piece of glass ...

Why is that?

With the dellow your transmission mounts to the original mounts, weld in your new engine mounts and away you go. There is no need to modify the fire wall if thats what your worried about,

Chris.

Go and see Greg at RGM maintenance. He will help you out or point you in the right direction. ph 07 4774 6734

Cheers Screwy,

I can make them its just the time to do it. If I can get everything here and ready I should be able to get it in and pretty much complete in a weekend minus the exhaust.

Hi everyone!

Can anyone point me in the right direction to anyone who can make control arm bush type engine mounts for a LS1 into GQ? I want them to be made without the car going to a shop.

Thanks in advance.

What exactly are you chasing?

If the diesel has been well looked after you should be right for a few more K's.

Can anyone give me some info on car 8? Also if anyone has any photos of this car could you please send to cd-newman@hotmail.com

Thanks a million guys!

Well done to Griffo and jacko. Awesome work.

Anyone got any info on car 81? That mad looking GU?

Hi all!
I just had my turbo reconditioned and was wondering if there is any run in procedure or can I just get back into it?

Thanks for the help.

Hey mate,

check all you bushes. Panhard bushes can be a pain. also get a wheel alignment and check you tyre pressures. They may look alright but you might be surprised. Also check front wheel bearing adjustment.

do you have any pictures?

Mate I would look at winding your fuel screw back out, If she is useing as much fuel as you say.

gday mate,

You could go and get a seal and do it yourself but its a pain in the backside. Your better off getting a pro to do it. Take the pump off and take it somewhere. But dont let them rebuild the whole thing cause it will cost you a fair bit.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys,

an anyone help me out with finding twin spot callipers for a GQ? Will they bolt straight in? And will a 15inch rim fit with these callipers?

Thanks in advance

Mate ive hit the same hurdle. Got my 4wd engineered in QLD, moved to NSW and have to get it done again. Its painful having to pay twice but its un-avoidable. Especially when the price i paid in QLD was $150 and Im getting quotes for around $700 down here!

Well it seems I should pay the $500 so they can look at it and replace it with there own! Thanks guys!

Here is my problem! I have a SWB patrol which I got cut into a style side ute in Queensland, bucket seats put in and 2 inch body lift also put in. All done through an engineer, mod plated and all that good stuff. Now a couple of years later I move to Albury in NSW and seek registration for my 4x4 ...

Heys guys,
I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to where is the taco sensor on a TD42? I have a 1991 GQ SWB.

Thanks in advance.

Having heard about the new production class winch trucks, I was wondering what car people would choose and why?

I would choose a GQ shorty, diesel and Manual. Only because thats all Ive ever had

mate there is bugger all in Darwin. Its terrible. maybe go to the mud racers and ask those guys.

I can have an address in either vic or NSW so it doesnt matter. What is the NCOP?

Hey guys,

Im about to move to Albury in NSW but Ill be working in Victoria. Now the question that I arise is should I get my car rego in Vic or NSW? Which state is more open to modifications? My truck has already been engineered in QLD! The Mods arnt huge but are as follows-

SWB Patrol cut down to ...

What BF tyre is this replacing? Anyone got any info on them?
