What about needing the master cylinder and/or brake booster? Has anyone done this? It;s my daily driver and tow wagon so I can't get into needing certs or a...

Re: Largest battery for R51 Pathfinder

Here we are again with My dad's 2010 pathfinder. The 4 yr old MF66 has died many times and tests badly now. What is the biggest sucker I can get in that size? Diff battery trays are not an option right now. Is there a dual batt kit? Seems no room for a second battery anywhere.

Re: 3rd Gen Surf (KZN185) doing multiple front wheel bearings

260Kkm and never changed one. I suspect you have something else going on. I'm frequently balls deep in rivers and mud so it's not a road queen. Lots of towing too.

Re: longer shocks for 96 surf

Gnerally all the aftermarket stuff is the same size shocks and just heavier springs. I've found ironman and Dobinsons are about the only ones that have rear springs that are captive. My Gabriel shocks are slightly longer in the back than stock. (to suit 4runner). I still use EFS up front. If you get...

oil change 1kz-te - prefill filter?

Hi All

when doing oil changes on a 1kz-te, it always sits there for an alarming no of seconds while the oil system is filling the filter and repressurising. I always try and fill the filter a bit before (quickly) flipping upside down and doing it up, but is there a better way of doing this?
