Hey guys. It's my 21st birthday soon and my girlfriend is going all out and getting me a lift and a front locker for my 75 ute. I have to pick out what suspension I'm wanting so it can be ordered and delivered before my birthday so I can install it before the camping trip we have planned. So...

Hey guys. Recently I got a hole in my radiator so I bought a new one. The problem is that the new radiator has metal tanks not plastic like the original. The problem with this is the mounting points for my plastic fan shroud aren't the same. I don't know what fan shroud I need to get or where...

Hey I'm looking at the efs kit now too. Looks like I will get that. How much did it cost you to get them fitted if you don't mind saying. I was thinking about doing It myself but of getting them fitted isn't too expensive I may just do that. Thanks

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I was also thinking about efs too. Efs offer a whole kit too so that might make it easier. I was thinking about the ome kit but have read a fair few bad things on them recently so it has deterred me from them. But once again thanks for your experience and advice.

I also just realized I should probably put this in the suspension section of the technical sub

I'm wanting to raise my car with a 2" suspension lift. I've researched it a fair bit but I just get too confused with all of the opinions people have and what I should get. I have found 2 places that offer a fair few brands here in australia and I was wondering if anyone could help me in...

Hey guys. I have the 1HZ engine in the 75 series ute. I'm wanting to get better power out of the engine. I'm planning on turbocharging is towards the end of the year but at the moment what are some things that I can check out to see if they need replacing or servicing to get better power. For...

Hers some quick pics from this morning. Got my zip tied mud flaps. All held on by zip ties and even the make shift zip tie chain.

Hey its been a while on this. Still haven't gotten any of these issues sorted. Got my new rims on now though with the bugger offset and it looks way better. I'm also in the middle of my first service on it. Changed the engine oil and filter so far. Still got diffs and gearbox to do. And replace...

Also going around my friends today as he is an auto electrician and he has had cruisers all his life so he should be able to help me with the heater problem and the temperature gauge. Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

Haha its all good. Wheels are pretty much sorted now. Just waiting to get them so I can put more pics up :) Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

Yeah well I'm really confused right now. I changed the lever in the engine bay to open so the heater core is definitely getting fluid. The heater core case area heats up. The fan blows but it doesn't blow any cold air. And yeah wish you could come help, you seem to know what your talking about...

That's what I was meaning. The bigger offset :) I was just saying in a whole the difference when changing over will be good. Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

Got a quote of $500 for 5 X 16x8 -28 offset black steel rims. So they should be going on during next week. Should look better when that's done. The change from 16x7 -13 should be pretty noticeable. Can't wait Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

See in that last photo is that supposed to be connected to the heater lever on the dash? Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

All I ever get is cold air blowing through all vents. And then with ac on it gets really cold. But never gets hot. Also the heater lever on the center of the dash isn't connected properly to the cable and it doesn't work so I tried changing it manually through the engine bay by moving the lever...

Haha bulk head? Jeez I'm bad at this. I need to post up a picture of my engine bay and you guys can label it for me haha. I heated the engine up this morning and felt two pipes. One going into the cabin from the engine bay through the heater lever switch type thing and then one coming back out...

Can you please point out what I should do next. I'm feeling pretty stupid not being able to figure this out. Sorry for all these questions about the same thing Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

I still can't figure out where the heater core is. I can't get to it to check if it's heating up at all:/ I don't want to have to pull apart the whole dash just to find out its not the heater core that's screwed:/ Sent from my GT-I9192 using Tapatalk

So I guess I'll be getting the 16x8's with around -35 offset. Now I just need to find a place with a good price. Hopefully it won't take me too long. Thanks for the help guys.

SO I went for a drive last night and was going to check if the heater core got hot. But I don't know where the bloody thing is:/ I even looked through the service manual and that talks about it but not where it is. Also I checked all the fuses and they seem to be fine to me. So I will check...

On the car now are new 285/75r16 mud tyres. So that's like an 11" wide tyre I think. Would they fit properly on a 10" rim or would I have to go with an 8" rim? Also where would be the best place to get new black steel rims. As a lot of online stores just show the product and not the price so I...

Their site is pretty well setup so hopefully I can find what I need. Also with the heater, my temperature also doesn't work and I really want to get that fixed as well so thanks for the reminder haha. What would I do to try and fix the temperature gauge. As it doesn't even move at all it just...

Oh sorry, thanks for that. Will update now and make sure I include that in the initial post next time.

Hey guys. I'm needing to buy a new draglink as mine is bent. Also need some side mirrors as mind are rooted. And just a few other bits. Just wondering if there is a good reliable cheap place/online store that I can get these from. Also my heater never works in my car. I have tried changing to...

I just typed in the CSA 12 10 13 code into google and found a CSA brochure which showed the offset they have for a 75 series ute is N13. Would this mean my offset is -13?

Hey guys, Been a bit busy with Uni exams, but today I finally got to clean the cruiser. I had a look at the rims and there was some writing however I don't understand what it means. Also a correction to my earlier posts my rim is actually a 16x7. I'm posting a picture I took of the writing. If...

Thanks for that. Was a good bit of info there. Although I'm think I'm set now from the previous replies already. I'll post up when I've got it sorted and what I ended up doing so others can see a possible solution. Also I just realized my 75 already has the extra plastic flare syrups so should...

I have the stock split rim still so I could just measure that and then add 50 mm offset to that to give the maximum I can go. As with those sites I don't understand how it would calculate if it will scrub or not? Does it take into account the car I'm driving and does it know the dimensions in...

Ok I will try have a look tomorrow after I give the car a wash. Hopefully it's that easy to find the offset. I feel like it could use around another 20 mm offset as they sit in a bit.

Thanks for the input. And I will not be going with wheel spacers as according to my short research they aren't legal in Queensland

Are wheel spacers legal in queensland though? And I want black steel rims not alloys. And thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I was going to add some plastic flares if the tyres exceed the flares a bit. I wasn't meaning a lot past the flares. Also you were saying I can make the track wider than 50mm. Is this from stock rim offset? If so what does this mean as in maximum offset with...

Hey guys, Just joined up wanting to ask a question about rim offsets. I've looked on the Internet a lot and can't find much help. At the moment I think I have 15x8 rims on with 285/75r15 mud tyres. I'm not sure what the offset is but I'm wanting to increase the offset so the tyres are flush or...
