79s landcruiser coil conversion questions

[scotty4x4]

hi all

i own a 2002 model hzj79s landcruiser

i am looking into doing a 3" rear coil conversion and putting the 105s rear end in it.

I understand what is involed in the conversion, but im not sure about it getting engineered. has any one done this or know what is involed in getting it engineered?

thanks all

Mate, maybe get in touch with Bru off here and see if he has contact details for custom Offroad? Je did my mates 79 and it came up really nice!

Hey guys

how much would this conversion cost? And are the wheel tracks different? With the 100 series diff?

[Mosko111]

I'm pretty sure he had to run spacers (not sure if it was for front or rear diff) and pricing is also a mystery, best bet would be to chase up his phone number and see how much he charges these days!

as your based in Nsw. im assuming sydney. Total care 4wd have done a few coil conversions on 75 series.
Id go down and have a chat with them about cost and parts involved

do you know if they do engineering certicate.. i am going to do the conversion myself. im more worried about the engeering side of it.

they dont do the engineering themselves.
right now engineering in NSW is all up in the air as to who will be allowed to engineer as they have all been deregistered.

have you had much experience with welding and setting up suspension.
it takes alot of precision measuring to get it to drive good.

welding yes..

suspension no.. but you got to start somewhere

[popeyehj60]

im assuming its mig welding. any qualifications.
coz you have to prove to the engineer that the welds are strong enough by means of testing them. it'd really suck to weld it all up and the welding not be up to spec for the engineer.
Ive been through this before where i had to provide various samples of welding as well as get the auctuall car xrayed etc before it got signed off. got quite expensive.
With the current state of engineering in NSW a lot of them aren't taking any risks on work let alone actually signing anything off atm.
