Yep both manual, Also has anyone ever done the brake swap from later model?

hi guys! Hope everyone is doing well and the trucks are doing even better. I’m sure there is a similar thread somewhere and I would greatful if you could point me in the right direction. However my question is - would the gearbox and diffs be interchangeable from a 1995 petrol 80 series to my...

thanks guys, I probably should have mentioned I'm running a fresh 75mm lift all round :relaxed: if I can score some cheap rims with a -13 offset then I will (-13 and -22 offset seem to be the most common) otherwise... I'm just going to go for it!!

feel free to direct me to the correct thread, but my question is - I’ve got a 1992 80 series and I’ve got the stock 31x10.5R15 rims and tyres on it, I’ve got my hands on a set of stock later model rims (16”) And I want to know has anyone used these rims with a set of 305x70R16s (or something...

just in case anyone was wondering, I ended up going with an exedy safari tuff clutch. price was $660 (australian) including delivery. pretty happy considering the price from a couple of different local shops was around the $900+ mark fingers crossed that they hold true to their over the phone...

thanks everyone for the tips and replies! I replaced my slave cylinder only a week or two ago, so I'll leave that one be. but I am going to do my uni joints while I'm there. but I do have one final question, can the rear main seal be done whilst the clutch is out??

soooo.... unfortunately, this afternoon on my way home, my clutch started to slip in 4th gear. (as soon as I get to 2000rmp's she lets go) my question/s are, what time of clutch have you used? was there anything not included in the standard clutch kits that I should be ordering as well? and who...

I'd like to get rid of the spare wheel from where it is any way.. and I rarely tow things, it's more for a recovery point then any thing else... I think I'll be saving my pennies and buying a rear bar with all these things included in it... all in good time

I figured that may have been the case. I'm not that handy with a welder so I don't see myself re-inforcing Ahh well, at least for now I can see when I'm reversing!

I added some reverse lights to my factory bumper on the weekend (picture below). wasn't too much of a job, apart from I had to take the tow pack off to access the bolt holes for the lights., and upon doing this i thought to myself, I wonder if anyone has ever incorporated the tow hitch into the...

http://www.marks4wd.com/mfk1045g3.html they also have mounts and other stuff if you wanted to go down the LS road. I'm sure they would have stuff for a diesel conversion too.

Might have to play with that this afternoon

For winding in more fuel/boost?

whoops.. makes a fair old difference put that minor detail in huh.. 500C

so far haven't gotten over 500, and that's giving her some poke up a fairly decent hill!

whats your budget?? I'd just sit tight on what you've got, no upgrades, just have fun.. thrash it even (keeping in mind you might wanna sell it for extra cash) then buy a diesel. if you go down the conversion road (which I'd personally like to do if I had the time and money) you'd best buy...

figure I'd better round this thread off now, I've done over 2500kms in the big girl now, it's running like a dream! I think the new exhaust helps, and now I've got the boost and EGT gauge in now, it's nice watching how it runs. taken it on two 4wd trips also (only about 150kms each) thanks...

I run mine at 38 psi for general use. Any lower and it feels a bit spongy for the way I tackle the tarmac.... And my brother runs his 33' BF MK2 at 40psi on his patrol ute.....

What do you run with now Chris??

So I'm in need of some new cvs as mine are making a terrible clicking/crunching sound at full lock in reverse, and I was wondering if anyone has tried this HDK "grease-able" CV joints? Here's the link --->...

really like the look of yours ctiley, where did you get them??

Well I'm happy I've made into that circle

Let me know if there's any other pictures or questions C.G

ohh and while I'm on here I way as well tell everyone about my new toy! my redarc gauge came this afternoon!! I've started fitting/wiring it (key word being started and not finished) word of warning to anyone who intends to buy one, you don't need to buy the lighting control (AKA dimmer) if...

far out! I can't believe I haven't found that website before! thanks my only criticism is that they don't include a picture of that part....

can someone tell me what the little white thing is, that hangs off the airbox? I've circled it in the attached picture, the little pipe for the bottom hose is snapped so ill need to replace mine.. just trying to figure out what to search for...

Very nice looking 60 there Ben! Kind of makes me wish I kept mine!

Wow! That sounds like more the enough for my grand tourer... I'm not looking to make crazy gains in power and torque... I just want a solid 4x4 that I can do the loop around Australia in! (Eventually)

I wouldn't mind getting a cross country top mount intercooler before I start playing with extra boost and fuel! Having said that I don't have a spare $2800 laying around... Does anyone know what a stock pump can handle??

Hahaha I don't mind at all... I figure it's pretty much done and dusted anyway! However I did order my new redarc EGT&boost gauge today! Little bit excited it have it installed see what tempts I'm running... I know the boost isnt overly essential at the moment, but it's a 2 in 1 gauge and it's...

Well that will work out well... I can buy my redarc dual gauge this week, and then do my oil next week! Doesn't get driven much during the week. I'm either in my work car or travelling with my boss. Another little question for everyone.. how long should I wait before I take it to get a...

It hasn't used any oil actually... well not enough that have to put more in since driving. Don't know the conversion, but I've done 550kms When would you (or anyone else) suggest I change the oil next?

Sooo good!! Driving at varying speeds and rpms is getting a little tedious but it's all worth it! Unfortunately my CV's are making a bit of noise so no proper 4wding for me until I have the $$$ to do that and a swivel hub rebuild. But still... enjoy having my rig back. Bought a new deep...

They look awesome! I would be down with a set of these for sure! How much weight difference between the ply template and those ones??

Redarc BC-DC 1225 is what I use. And personally I think it's the tits!! It's a smart 3 stage charger and isolater all in one. I also hav my solar panel on an Anderson plug so when I'm parked up, plug it in and she's away charging. No need for a MPPT controller with the panel either, as the...

Good news!! Drove it around for a while this afternoon changed the oil (went from Mineral to semi-sintetic though, hope this is ok?? If I need to change it I will) And yes.... it was a arse/teeth clenching experience!! There was some smoke (leftover clean products and oil ex burning off) but it...

Well what a weekend that was! First up, I didn't realise how important the little injector line clamps are... taking them off with the inlet manifold I knew it was going to be a struggle getting them back on. But holy shieeeet! I spent (and I'm not exaggerating) 4+ hours getting this all back...
