I took my old hitachi standard alternator to an auto elec and he replaced it for a bosch 75 amp for around $150. He had to take the dual belt pulley of my old alternator though and i rewired the plug to suit.

Keeps my 100amp batteries charged for the last 5 years

As they are a pretty stiff tyre I'd go as wide as possible

Mechanical Bead locks usually add a little to the width also

I have pro comp 16 x 10's with 2.5" back space, they don't stick out to far and work well

My 37's still scrub with 6-7" spring and 2" body lift on swb

I've cut the rear of the rear guards and at the front bent the bottom rear corners of the guards in (5 link front)

Bump stops would help but as i mainly like to play on rocks I prefer the stability (read as I can't be bothered to make ...

The petronix will not provide enough spark for a turbo motor. It will get blown out by the boost presure.

Your ignition will be a high priority as turbo and non turbo need different ignition curves.

ie. Non turbo - as your revs increase you need more ignition advance (contrifugal advance using ...

The battery may have a cold cranking problem with a surface charge

Go to a battery specialist and get them to check the cold cranking.
Just did this with my mum's fiesta (high comp motor that is dependant on good battery condition). Standard CCA was 390 but tested at 115.

Has the battery even been ...

Just another thing to check.

Mine had a similar problem and found it the pissy earth wire on each side which had caused the plug connector to melt.

Changed the connector and new larger earth on each side.

A mate of mine installed the air locker himself and had the same problem.

We thought it was a breather problem but it ended up being a seal in the locker not being installed correctly. Took it to ARB and they fixed it.

I have a patrol with the compressor under my seat. I didn't want diff oil smell ...

I've got the same problem

93 EFI Impco

When i get a chance i'll take it to my mates dyno to test closed loop theory

The air flow light (blocked filter) comes up on my dash

Never had a problem with mine

What year is the new steering wheel off ?

second that, pulling out the motor is quite easy.
Other wise you will need a good transmission jack and lots of patience

Hi all

Just fitted a DTS turbo kit to my mates 93 3L diesel

We have fitted a 2.5 exhaust and had it tuned.

Is it worth while fitting a boost compensator to the existing pump @ about $1300 ?

Is it possible to fit a 2.4 turbo surf pump which has the compensator ?

or do we just leave it the way it ...

Looking for some new wheels for my mates 79 series ute

Trying to find some 16x8's in black and strong build. Does anyone know where to get these from and how much. Trying to stay away from sunnies.
The daytona rock crawlers don't make them that size for the 5 stud hubs.

Any other idea's as to what ...

I'll come down and give it a go

SWB patrol 6" lift, 35's, diff locks - open class

Never been on a travel ramp before so should be interesting

I used the crappy old standard nissan coil with mine. Ontrack recommended that i use the standard coil with the petronix.

I also use the extended rotor button from ontrack. I have read that this is not needed with the petronix ignitor but i thought it couldn't hurt.

Changed my leads, just cheap ...

This is what the ground down flange should look like, the cam is just below it

Top arrow - where the screw for the shaft is, easy as to pull out
Bottom arrow - this has to fit over the flange ...

Take out the dissy

Pull the cap and button off

Undo the screw in middle / top of the shaft under the rotor and the shaft should come out

You have to machine / grind down a flange that is on the shaft, only a couple of mm all the way around, so that the new sensor can fit over the top of the ...

Sounds like your booster has a leak

Had a safari tuff clutch put in, very touchy at first but good now. Would recommend it

Have just done the opposite.

Was using valvoline filters and super diesel, did notice it was getting a little tappy around oil change time.

Changed to penrite diesel (20/60) and ryco filters, so good so far.

$3000 now....$3000 in another 5 years maybe.... + headaches!

V6 Commodores with getrag gearboxes have dual mass flywheels to help dampen out low rev engine vibrations. The fitment of a heavier mass flywheel will also fix this.

Chevtorque makes heavy single mass flywheels for v6 conversions into ...

I've seen the adjusted king pins cause the bearings to leak

Most likely your rear tail shaft

Check your unis (flat spots) and slip (play) and angles of the of the unis.

Diff and gear box uni angles should the same. When you raise a shorty the pinion angles up towards the gear box, it needs to parallel with the gearbox

Grease all nipples before you go into ...

Think he is talking about the MQ

The GQ has the same mounting points.

Hey guys

I'm helping a mate sell his truck.

Its a 1995 Defender 130 cab chassis 2.5 TD with tray & frame with zip up canvas ARB Bull bar, 220,000 km. Good condition inside and out. Any idea's what is worth ?

Thanks in advance

Matt

Do you have a return to centre dampner ?

just like the standard clutch. I found that after cleaning in rebuilding the master and slave cylinder makes the clutch a lot lighter

Just did one using a standard daiken clutch for $330. Brand new clutch, pressure plate and thrust bearing. $58 to get the flywheel machined to my door.

If doing it yourself i highly recommend just taking the engine out.

It had 270k on it

What are the usual wobbles? when you hit a pot hole, down hill, going straight etc ?

are you running caster plates, drop arms or drop boxes ?

This should help

Get someone to listen outside for an clunks when you move the steering back and forth while its on. Should be able to work out where the noise is coming from.

If nothing while stationary.

Check list:

Radius arms nuts near the chassis
Gear box cross member bolts and rubber mounts nuts
Body mounts ...
