kpr Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 open diffs are horrible hopless things. after driving car a few times had to go. managed to get a new trd lsd for a sweet price. its for jza70 supra's etc.. (irs cars) but will fit the hilux carrier with some slight mods with the hilux crown wheel bolted to it: just need to get some, lsd spec bearings so i can install into non lsd carrier. have a 4.5 ratio hanging about. so will use that for now. probably still a bit low geared but better than the 4.9 in there now!

kpr Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 got lsd in. putting it in the carrier was pretty straight forward. the trd lsd center has a different offset to the hilux one, so backlash cant be adjusted right with the stock adjusters. so machined a few threads off one to get some more travel as you can see one of the adjusters sticks out quite far. but theres enough threads on it to not be too dodgy. had to trim a bit more off the drivers axle due to the offset also. but what was a cunt was the camber on my diff. it had been giving the open diff a hard time and the axles wouldn't go in with the lsd. had to cut the case and remove some of the camber. just enough for the axles to slide in nicely. i was having to give them a bit of a whack to get them in the open diff, so wasn't a surprise when the diff oil cam out a bit metallic !

kpr Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 more diff issues ! turns out previous owner stuffed the 4.5 above. had an awesome whine.. short version, the 4.5 got throwen on floor after 3 attempts. got another head, 4.3 this time. installed lsd. works mean. got some adjustable arms, made some urathane ends more adjustable stuff looks pretty messy but works. will paint engine bay next time the engine comes out yes two rails & eight injectors! shiny thing in above pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 hmm long time no update. have been busy with other stuff but have done a little bit on this thing. had an engine damper hanging about from another project. which i decided i was going to fit, since the engine jiggles about a bit. to get a good mounting on the body, it needed to attach to the strut tower somehow. so decided may as well make a strut bar, and include a mount on this for the damper. was going to use this spoon sport for honda(shame) on the front. but it was pretty close to fitting the back so choped it up and jamed it on here: due to lack of junk hanging about had to go full custom on the front and yeh engine damper still isnt done. also has fiberglass doors now, that ive half ass fitted. after a decent front bumper if anyone has one hanging about. factory non facelift or facelift either is good.

kpr Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 panel work is boring, so slow progress. 90% of the body inc bonnet has been striped back to bare metal and straightened out. i didn't want to do this but was necessary, due to shit paint that was on it. an previous expanding foam repairs. stripping through the black then white then the factory red wasn't much fun. couldn't be assed fixing the boot, so brought more glass. so now, front guards, doors and boot are all fiberglass. current state as of today. i somehow resisted taking it for a spin down the road like this fixed the harmonic vibration the inlet manifold had, with another brace. i need to do the same with the exhaust manifold. being so long it has the same issue. some more new bits. keen to get a factory front rather than this fiberglass one. hopefully next update it'l have some new paint. im not sure what colour yet?!
