HI all, 

 anyone got a Techstream access code or know a hack ? Ive tried a few google ones and im pretty sure I just gave away my bank ( and likely browsing ) history.

Ive tried paying for a subsciption too and no luck 

Cheers 

cheers, Its on its way but I think pn is 8966160N11. Ive got the techstream thing coming but Im dont think they can disable.

The car its going into ( 2012 fj ) has a chip key so I may be able to reset the immobiliser for the key in there already but have no idea. 

Hi all,

I need the immobilser deleted from a 2009 ish Prado ECU. I can get it done in oz but anyone know of someone who can do it in NZ ?

From what I understand ECU has to be opened, chip accessed and eeprom disabled. Some of the remote start kits do the same but I think still need the original key once the engine is running.

Cheers 

I blew a hole in the V6 in my fj cruiser ( big rav ) yesterday and am pulling it today with the intention of putting a 1KD in it, after a 20 hour shift on google theres a few good options for ECU's and TCMs etc for all these late engines now. It will work well or not at all, should be able to keep my trans ( A750F ), ill put some pics up once I know it works 

I had a 1KZ with manual pump, extra fuel pressure and boost, intercooler etc in a 1/2 chev pickup, it went awesome, burnt not much and I ran diesel, kerosene, cooking oil or whatever else through it. The guy that bought the truck put a 327 in it and then complained it was slow. They are a bitch to find boxes for, I ran an A340LE hiace / cherokee / supra box with relays to shift manually but you can get TCMs for them. It did skids, passed cars, hauled heaps of crap fine. 

I had a 15BT in a 60 series cruiser, beast of a motor, 700NM and 210 hp at 16 psi, manual pump, special turbo etc. It hauled arse and still is with new owner. The engine was hard to find but bolts straight to the H55 box. that was the pick of the B engines, under piston oiling, direct injection, easy to turbo. 

Ive got a 1HZ cruiser camper, great engine but to me the 1HZ/1HDT etc are not worth the cost and size. 

If you want steam and versatility with fuels ( non-common rail ) my pick would be 1KZ, cummins 4bt or 6BT if you can deal with the weight, US aftermarket has them sorted but they are long and tall and 480 kg or so. 

Can't remember sorry, I would remember a dude called Julian to. 

Blasted frame, Installed bits and bobs, cut stuff off, stuck stuff on, Im too lazy to get things machined so I make everything out of RHS and plate. Brake booster under drivers floor, tanks and pumps on rails etc 

Yeah airbags and IFS, the main reason I got snotty was I had just spent an hour fighting the computer uploading pics and crap only for them to ditch it all. I respect the need for their standard but they dont police it, the site is full of sick builds with bags etc, Ive ripped plenty of ideas off it over the years.

With the IFS I ordered it through Krusin Kustoms ( do the right thing, shop in NZ right ? ) and it showed up wrong, they made a minimal effort to put it right and I had to make the missing parts. So next time Ill go back to ordering direct. No Doubt Heidts screwed it up originally. 

The way their kits tie into the frame rails is average, on the Art Morrision ones etc the vertical spring loads are transferred straight into the crossmember, on these and a lot of others it levers against the bottom of the spring mount where it attaches to the frame ( just above rack in pic), these old frames are a 2 piece and not that thick so I plated the frame and raised the crossmember so it attaches to the back of the spring cup aswell which seem to have worked, but then Ive changed a pre-approved product so have fisted myself. 

Also shock mounts supplied had shocks mounted in single shear with bolts, I cant change coz pre-approved, so I submit it and it fails, then have to change, again fisting self. 

Anyway feds are happy 

Yeah I pissed the HAMB fags off and they deleted it, ill try and rewrite what Ive done on here tomorrow

Front is a Heidts IFS which I got to avoid the design approval, they are average. I ordered it as a kit from Kruzin Kustoms and they supplied it with coil springs, no bag mounts and airbag LCAs, never again.

would love to have seen some step by step shit on the those front fender mods!

 

Yeah, I wanted it done but am not up to it, we looked at them alot. Mitch at Stewies did most of it, all steel.

Thanks Fellas, Im stoked to have it on the road finally 

Tell me Ive done it wrong 

Hey bud, I've had a bit to do with these things and recently with vibration analysis on twins, I have the gear for it.

Gist of it was the pumps feed a fair bit through the coupling ( assuming it's closed ) and still through crank. There was a run of couplings coming apart here from that and no one seems to bother balancing blades or shafts, we do it in race boats. Hard to imagine it causing belts to fall off but it won't help the balancer.

I also had an sbc which did it and I reckon some spoon had jacked up the engine on the pulley at some stage, bent crank and pulley. 

Go see your friendly local helicopter mechanic and tell them you want them to put their tracking gear on it. 

Date on that is jan 2012 , Im assuming this didnt go through ?

Last time I went through it with a stock bodied vehicle with factory chassis with aftermarket 4 link,notch, extra x-members and new IFS it was classed as Scratch built.

Dont they make 18" streeters for the corvair ?

Im jealous as hell

Cool project, where are you?. I've been through the ifs drama. Have a pre approved heidts one in 38 Chevy now and it still took a bit to get it right geometry and strength wise, have had a fatman one too. Be weary of the rods by Reid ones, there's talk of action by lvvta for one they mounted the rack wrong on down south.

That 54 buick is a mates car bought at auction a couple of months ago, that's a big buck ride there

Cool thanks Fellas,

  made some towers for the front, works fine, dunno why I was worried. iIll do a build thread

Hello Internet,

I've got a 60 Catalina which I bagged today, and it needs front shocks. I assumed it was an impala underneath but it is very much not. Anyway I lost the stock front shock and need to relocate them, problem being steering tie bar is on back side of arms on this leaving not much room for a shock mount.

What is stopping me running the shock on the forward side of the a-arms ? Lvvta doesn't stupilate, but I haven't seen it before which makes me assume there's a reason why not. Anyone ?

Thanks
