Hi there, 

I have got spindles, stubs, discs, and callipers off a 1992 L300 to go onto my 1983 L300, the problem is the upper ball joint hole is larger on the new suff (there is no ball joint that fits off the shelf) can I get an engineer to make some hard tapered adapters like these? I hope so because they are getting made next week.

Have read that the upper ball joints don't have as much stress as lowers so should be sweet?

Thanks.

had to google k24 engine rotation..   nice work. 

I've just brought a 1978 lancer that requires re-vinning, is it a mish? or is it similar to a green or pink sticker wof? also I wouldn't mind under-sealing the car while I refresh some of the suspension, will that make it harder if I put fresh under-seal on? (not trying to hide anything its mint) 

hey mate great work, is there going to be a one-way valve/drain in the bottom of the airbox?

heres the only transport i have for this event this year, currently has no front brakes, bald back tyre, and the seat falls off. keen as though, seems all you lot keep buying all the mean scooters when they come up for sale, figure i will just blend in as a local.. 

what do I need for pants? is jeans ok? or do i need something more protective? any other protective gears? @MopedNZ hooked me up with a good deal on a helmet too.

flip the leaves?

does anyone know why my engine cuts out when my gfb d-force controller hits its over boost limit? (which i can set) I'm guessing the controller can't hold the waste gate at higher pressures, boost is set to 16psi and over boost is set to 19. i have to clutch in turn off ignition then re start the motor, motor is land cruiser 13bt 3.4L diesel, the controller is not part of the injection pump and is not wired into the ignition in any way. i think i need a stronger waste gate actuator

sweet project heres a pic of my camper i built a couple of years ago, if i can make one suggestion it would be to angle the front more than i did, sure did slow it down in anything more than a mild headwind, utes now in the paddock with a blown head , it had the fuel screw wound up and about 15 psi.Im 6 foot 3 and could just stand up in it. 

chariot is ready to be picked up if you want the shame of owing it, free of course

The fuck! So much Russian goodness there! 

looks like a L300 in there too..

installed a gfb d-force controller last night, it came with an egt probe so we drilled it in the exhaust manifold pre-turbo, and the boost solenoid thingy got screwed into the turbo housing. today i changed the front diff over and assembled the rear diff centre, the copper tubing took ages to sort out.

Would you mind uploading a few pics of your intercooler install. What kind of intercooler are you using I've found there's not much space to fit one

had to ditch the air con, brought a second hand generic chinise 600x300 cooler and made some simple mild steel brackets to fit it up doesn't look the best but it works, used the drop saw for cutting the bends then put heaps of masking tape round the bends and got a guy to tig them up. I had to cut up the fan shroud quite a bit. wouldn't work on a 6 cylinder i reckon.

keen thanks

 

 

booked a 5 bed fishermans cabin with men

riding. yes will bring more (shhh)

anyone got a spare bed at the lake? keen to come

big bush at tuai is a good place to stay. not many rules there too.

any cars out there with cheap air compressors from factory, e.g cars with factory air suspension. need a pump for a ARB air locker looking at options for onboard air. other option is to use my 5L dive cylinder as I have a bottle compressor, anyone have any thoughts cheers.

whats the go if i had a 1980 L300 van, and had a de-reg L300 cab I wanted to put on the chassis instead? (van to cab) would that need cert as its pretty much the same? thinking it would be an easier way to make a L300 well side later on, than cutting down a van if that makes sense. cheers

Is that for your toyota? Probably easier to get a 13bt or a 15bt would be pretty choice

nah just don't know much about that engine and have herd they are good. my cruiser has a 13bt in it. 15bt would be the ducks nuts, would probably have to import one and i don't have that sort of money unfortunately

Isuzu 4bd1t 

out of curiosity what are these motors worth roughly? do they make a 2wd and 4wd box for them or are there adapters for common gearboxes? cheers

sorry no photos, its red. he's not keen to part with it at this stage, but I'm sure he will let me know first
