Ive had a change of situation. It will live again, may take some time though

Mine died yesterday, 384000km gearbox died everything was original

Hi Fellas After a hard run on the rocks yesterday the old ute finally gave way. Gearbox blew up (2nd and 5 gears stuffed) so I think its time to upgrade. Im parting this beast out, so if there is anything you want, let me know. Motor: Z24- needs rebuild, still runs well not smokey at all...

Thanks Dion Planning stage only however I think I have it all worked out. Planning on using Dana 44 diffs. 3 link front end using coilovers. A-Frame rear end using coilovers etc but I want to keep it registered and fully engineered. Spoke with him today. Sound very promising, only problem was...

Gday everyone. I need factory ride height specs for my ute ('89 model Z24) please. Can anyone help? I will be speaking with the engineer next week about mods planned. He has told me that 6 inches over standard is maximum available. Bummer. Plans now have to be changed More info to come soon.

Good start cwolf. Keep at it mate. They make a great budget fourby

Hmm, hi comp 253and auto. Alright, thats got me thinking. I have a gas tank too.

At work one day. Just finished a full resto on a 50's Ford Mainline. Gave it a final polish, jumped in to go out the front to take some pics. Drove out and heard a bang in the cargo area. The apprentice had wrapped an air line aound the rear bumper to stop it from recoiling back into the roller...

What would you use? What else will go in there? I already have the V6/auto. Salvaged from a wreck. will a 253 V8 fit? I have one of those. Dont want to go down the KA24 route, I want something different. Im a power junkie. Roadbikes will do that to ya.

Gday all Well the old ute has had a tough life. Even tougher in the last 2 years as it has seen some pretty serious off road work. Its finally had enough, blew the front crank seal this arvo. Time for some work on it. Ive been looking into getting into some very serious wheeling, naturally...

Mine now has 381000 on her. Blew the front seal this arvo. Motor/gearbox/diffs/suspension/tray/bumpers/guards may not be in or on it when it sees 382000.

Thanks alot Biggazza. Spoke with a wrecker in Adelaide today. I can have a Gen3 motor to my door for $3k. All ancillaries, loom and ECU. Sounds a bit dear to me. I can get one cheaper I recon

Currently looking at engine conversions. I bought a VN berlina a while ago thinking the V6 would be the go. Now Im not sure. Having recently buying a Toyota 4Runner for a daily wheeler, I have been looking into conversions for it. Of the most popular, two motors stand out. First by far is the...

It has ROH steel rims on it but they are all the same offset. I had a quick measurement yesterday, the drivers side is 10mm lower than the passengers side. Can that make much difference? It will be getting pulled apart tonight to find out.

Just clocked 378,000 on the weekend. Original motor, gbox and diffs. Its just startig to use a bit of oil. Serviced every 5000km.
