so anyone with a deez. you should get rid of the EGR on it van went from 9.5l/100 to 7l/100 by blocking it off.

I wouldn't trust a nolathane one either One Nats at taupo, we had to fix cazzas escort nolathane 'rag joint' with a bunch of cable ties, it had a steel safety cage thing around it so it still worked, just got a lot of slop in it when it split

is there a change in shaft angle at that joint? could you make a solid alloy one?

I think I spent $1500 ish on the short block, that was boring, crank polish, balance, deck and clean, resize rods, fit cam bearings. from memory that rebuild cost around 5k all up, it was meant to be re ring and paint it but that didn't work out.... the heads needed a going over as well

cant remember exactly but pretty close to zero I think

After I got the block decked 40 thou in my vg, the intake manifold didn't fit with gaskets, but it was spot on with no gaskets. Grey goo around the water ports, and hylomar blue around the intake ports- no problems in 3?? years

You can. Page 14 in here has the requirements https://lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Braking_Systems.pdf One of the requirements seems to be it has to be an automatic for some reason? The only one ive seen that operates the cable are aftermarket units that look like a linear actuator , otherwise the oe ones I've ever seen have been in the caliper. That's not to say they don't exist, just I haven't seen one

I could hear you nangin up greenmount drive yesterday!

Your hilux is red, right? I'm pretty sure the workshop manual says that part can be deleted if it's a red one. I hope you said something like 'Four hundred and sixty fookin quid mate, are ye having a fookin laff? '

no, cable should be outside the loop

probably need a pic to try and understand this better

No not required, unless you are using spacers.

The auto to manual part doesn't need cert if it's all factory parts and bolts in But, A modified or non original brake pedal does, so if it's had a manual brake pedal fitted or the pedal pad cut down , yes it should have a cert

You haven't had much luck with dicks crashing into you lately! May I suggest

yes would need plating I think 1.6 is probably a bit light

each one would require approval individually unless you did a component approval, but for that to be economical, you would probably have to sell a few

yep anything adjustable that wasn't originally, needs cert. have not seen anyone cut down the cones, only seen people use adjustable ones. if the cone is solid, and you keep the "spring" captive, probably no reason you couldn't shorten it

yeah theres no minimum clearance as long as it cant touch under any circumstances, or jam the steering if an engine mount breaks

looks pretty good, have not seen one in person but it appears pretty solid Who makes it?

@RUNAMUCK I think that's your skid lid

Rats I'd be keen as for grass skids but got a mates birthday already locked in on that day

Stocking up on sharn fuels

Myself and Bartholomew will be there in the afternoon I have a van for sleeps not sure what barts plans are, but i imagine hes not being the little spoon

Also if the steering arm is bolt on, you could potentially make a new arm once you figure out where it needs to go?
