Hey there looking at 2wd options behind a td42 want a manual I think. Wondering if removing all the transfer case related bits cutting off the side bit and welding up the hole and just running it 2wd is acceptable.

So I just spend $700 on tyres that are lower profile than I wanted but I thought would solve my tire stretch issues when I had a brand new tyres that fit much better. That sucks so much.

Hey I'm looking to hopefully get the wagon certed in the Easter break. So was wondering what im likely to run into. All im doing is cert for 14x8's and lowering just with custom springs made and shorter shocks but below 100mm. With legal tyres (195/45r14 falkens) it will likely be around 60-70mm. I need it done resonably quick because im hoping to be done so i can drive it down south to my new place. Currently trying to find what certifier to use as apparently Taupo can be a prick and Tauranga has a 70mm height limit. Cletus you wouldn't happen to be interested in doing it maybe if i trailored it up?

Cheers guys i sourced a tiny ass Honda city to get me out to lake Coleridge lol at least fuel will be cheap

I need a car to borrow to pick up my car tommorrow as it's battery died out of town so iv got to go get it but have no ride... I have a full license and have had it for 2 and a half years anything that's legal would be much appreciated. Happy to pay something or buy you a box of whatever.

does anyone have one i can borrow?

I'm looking at getting an accuair setup for the wagon from vividracing.co.nz some time in the future if anyone is looking at anything maybe we can do a bulk order an save a bit on the shipping.

haha nah thats what i want to know before i spent money to swap and a 4age would be far to small lol my engine bay would be utterly empty and its sin to swap to 4 cylinder from 6 lol

exactly a jzs not my first choice seems every man and his dog has an ms6X with a jz / 2 or 3 really for good reason sure but theres always that want to try soething new but not at the expense of an eco-motor lol

Yeh problem is I want to run auto so. A lot of aftermarket ecu are non existent or way more than what they will give me

Il be in when the new wheels arrive from japan in a few weeks need tyres swapped between 2 sets

yeh planning on leaving stock and auto and will be having a pro do wiring engine and box are cheap to start with though at $150. Wonder if they are immobolised like vvti jzs are out of a 01 mark 2

Does anyone know anything about what would be required from the original car. I understand they are e throttle so would require that no? and they run auto which is sweet but anything that could be a huge paint in the ass?

+1 on that so useful and really appreciated

sorry i didnt say what i meant to i meant take the whole rearend so use the estima hub a rear disk setup also so would be using its hubs et i guess im asking what weight is significant id think ~400kgs would be.

So for heavier duty diff could that say going to a full rear live axle diff and hub setup from a heavier vechicle be suffieciently heavier duty or must it be custom stuff? ie my diff is the same as in the toyota estima which weighs around 1700kg compared to my car 1300 shoud this not show the hub assemby can handle a bit more stress than its currently dealing with?

how are rims measured for wof and cert purposes ie how do they tell the difference between a proper inch rim an one the is a 3 inch and 6 inch lip with around a half inch centre between? ans same with offset im not asking what rules are butsay the rim was 5mm more negative than allowed on a 16x9 would it be picked up on or not? assumming 20% of a 9inch rim is 45mm and offset is minus 50-55

So the car might sell this afternoon iv been just doing little tidy up things to it and just gave it a full service. I decided to give it a spirited drive up the ports hills up summit road and it was beatiful drove perfectly and was a real joy of a drive highly recommend the road. Decided to take a couple photos up the top where i stopped and spotted a couple of the elusive port hills deer feeding below. The road edge of a walking track. ps sorry about the phone photos hadn't really planned for it but couldn't miss the opportunity

thanks found it searching in the thread

I interested in the rules with welding on vechicles for certs etc. I see you have to pass a test for the lvvta tester on some things but not others etc but then a few mates iv talked to just took lots of photos or got things x rayed and it was good enough. Mainly for shortening a diff and rewelding all the mounts and adding say a base plate for an air bag who can do this? and what if something was done before you have owned. Also for welding up / fabricting engine mounts and gear box x member whats the go. oh and is i where to notch the chassis is it allright to take say a 30-40mm notch out and box up the remaining section to restrengthen in as id only need around an inch or 2 something similar to sheepers crown i suppose

ok i will il post my stuff back in here as it is a mission to find everything and may as well make it easier for others to find to.

i quite literrally said i could not be bothered trying to find something that may or may not be somewhere in the 144 page thread thas why i strarted this one.

how do you size bags for your front and rear suspension ie is there a calculation ie bellow count x psi x area etc etc ie i looking for a set to lift a wagon rear end moderately quick and the front quick with a decent lump of engine ie v8 in it. or is speed all based on port size. also it has wish bone front and coil rear

oh and is i where to notch the chassis is it allright to take say a 30-40mm notch out and box up the remaining section to restrengthen in as id only need around an inch or 2

Also to the people saying search i have and cant find anything real world unles its hidden somewhere in the 144 pages of the wof/cert/reg which is far to large to look through to find. So i propose this becomes a new thread to help people find info on this as im sure its off use to a lot of people.
