Re: 80 Series no highbeam
Had the same problem years ago, Contacts on the steering column where the two looms meet were burnt out. Ended up making a wee jumper wire to eliminate any bad connection.

Ways around that by fitting a boost cut. Stops the ecu seeing the "trip" voltage. Tweak fueling and she'll be flying. Had it done to my kzn185 and it boogies

Re: LN106 Hilux Build
I had those 37s on the old lux on 10" rims. Cant say I clocked up many k's before I sold it. Found some better pics of it on its rims from the next owner.

Re: Falcon Rears
It stops your truck steering left (pretty sure it's left) under braking. Because the steering is push pull rather than side to side as the diff moves under braking it changes steering geometry. If you take it off your truck will no longer be warrantable and will be dangerous. In short don't do it u...

Re: Looking for a 24valve VX Ltd Cruiser
I have one fitted on the front of my surf pete. Had to slot a couple of holes in the mounting kit and replaced all the chinese cheese bolts with high tensile ones. Hacked the top part to get to the free spool on the winch apart from that Im happy with it for the price of the bull bar.

the guys that did my 2.5inch exhaust have tuned quite a few 1kzs and well known for it. I asked for a 3inch one and the response was why? running a stock turbo with a chipped or tuned 1kz it makes no difference on the exhaust back pressure, it is the factory airbox that lets them down when your real...

Re: 1uzfe conversion cost
What makes you think its got a cracked head if it only got hot? if it has it will be showing some symptoms. Lexus v8 is cool but in reality it will probably still be cheaper and less labour to fix the donk thats in there.

If you want a good decent one, buy it brand new. Who knows the history of it. I got a "trademe bargin" Would of been a lot cheaper to buy a brand new one....and its brand new not 15"/16" worn.

Re: 80 series help?
my old manual cruiser was the same factory on 32s, not sure on boost, never had one of them guages, was revving quite high at 100 and took a lot of pedel, wasnt much between cruising and flat foot, foot off the gas and it slowed down pretty quick.
