Yeh it seems to go great even with the restriction but i imagin\e how much better it would go with a 3 inch

Recently picked up a 1990 factory turbo GXL, was under it on the weekend and noticed where the exhaust runs up between the body and chassis where the rear upper arms bolt to, is squashed to about half its normal size. Is this from the factory or is a bodge job ? How and where would a 3 inch be ...

Thanks guys

There is more than one Peter Sterling.

To do this swap now your going to have to go through a ICV. Rules have recently changed in QLD regarding body swaps.

Whats ICV?

If the engine is cold I usualy start the engine with my foot all the way to the floor and when it fires I hold my foot down till the valves start to bounce then hold it there for about 5 minutes more (sometimes I use a brick on the throttle) if the engine is already warm I do exactly the same thing ...

maybe try balance them 1st

our HJ60 Sahara is the same in the way that the pedal is nearly all the way out before you go anywhere... has been like that for the 18 months we have owned it

Speedo is within a K or 2 at 100km

65 of the 70 km trip is on the highway, today i sat on 100 all the way , man seemed to take forever , will see how it goes.


Thanks for the replies

I was thinking along the lines with a snorkel more cooler cleaner air better economy, i maybe wrong though (Have been before)
No load at all, trayback with no sides 95% of the time
Running 33's as stated above
I didnt mention that i usually average about 105-110 km/h

Started a new job last week and i now have to drive about 70 km each way to get to work. Last 2 tanks i have worked out to be about 15.7 L/100km, which i think is a bit high, have read somewhere that some people get alot lower figures than that. SO what can i do to get better mileage, money doesnt ...

Just went for a drive to go wash it, 1 minute the brakes will be fine no problems at all next time you touch the brakes the pedal will go down to halfway next time it will be fine for a while thewn it will go to the floor, seems to be no back brakes as i locked the fronts commin up to a set of ...

In the last 2 weeks or there abouts the brake pedal in my HJ75 has slowly started to get softer, nothng to serious but enough to notice. Today on a trip out to the beach we took the freshwater track out to Double island, if anyone doesnt know it its about 15-20km of single lane sandy rutted track, i ...

Just filled up these were the figures i got..
69.52 L and 385 KM
So this worked out to 18.05714L/100km
Have i worked this out correct?
I know itll be a bit high went up the beach on the weekend

By the way its a 1hz 75 Ute
