LVVTA cert hydraulic handbrake or manual line lockers?

Hi all, a question regarding handbrakes on road registered 4 wheel drive vehicles - building a new truck at the moment, will go through cert for beadlocks and other bits, but what I would like to do is have either a hydraulic operated handbrake (still a locking type one for parking), or install manu...

15" 36 bolt beadlocks WTB

After some f#cktard stole my truck, I've been slowly getting bits to rebuild a new one... needing some road legal beadlocks now. Anyone have any 15x8" -19 or so beadlocks for sale? Must be 36 bolt so I can cert them. And if you have a set with Simexes or Silvies on with tubes and dump valves, e...

Wanted ARB RD110

Went to go buy a shiny new ARB RD110 and it's 8 weeks ex Aus. Because they aren't clever enough to figure out we have planes now. ARB will only ship via boat :lol:

Anyone have one available?

Re: Hilux front diff modified for Pajero L200 L300 Delica Triton

Would need shocks, steering links and a set of axles, longfields be the go!! Then fab up some spring/shock towers. The steering arms are there just need the connecting links. Driveshaft and that be it pretty much! If you want any other photos let me know. Sorry for late reply didn't get a notificati...

Hilux front diff modified for Pajero L200 L300 Delica Triton

Have a solid axle Hilux diff which has had the pumpkin flipped and balls rotated to suit a mitsi 4x4. Way cheaper to get bits for than Dana axles!!

Re: 1kz-te using water........

Hey guys, As kbushnz says find the actual cause first. Do a cooling system pressure test, and a TK style combustion gas test to identify what is actually happening first. I've also seen the genuine waterpumps on 1kzs leak from brand new, yet the aftermarket repco ones are perfect... If you do determ...

Re: New KZN185 1KZ

Oh and the increase temperatures thing is a load of bs. The 1kz runs a hot egr system which doesn't run at WOT (wide open throttle) anyway so no it doesn't heat your engine or cylinder head up.

Re: New KZN185 1KZ

If you are ditching the egr, reroute the rocker breather into a catch can as well. Many also remove the butterfly from the inlet manifold at the same time. If yours is intercooled take this opportunity to take the intercooler off and leave it soaking in degreaser overnight. You will already be doing...

JASO DH-1 & GLOBAL DHD-1 are equivalent ratings. Shell rimula, penrite fx, total rubia etc all meet both these standards. Penrite is available at ripco, its mid ash and all the blah.

Re: 1KZ-te grit and smallish pebbles in oil?? Oil thread...

Unburnt diesel (or pocket burnt) produces carbon in any diesel, common rail or otherwise. The carbon then bypasses the rings and ends up in the oil. Normally get around 250ks out of a set of injectors so will be nearly due in yours. It only takes an off spray pattern from a worn tip to produce exces...

Re: 1KZ-te grit and smallish pebbles in oil?? Oil thread...

Carbon buildup in the oil can be from a leaking injector, good idea to pull the sump and check out your pickup screen for blockages. To recon a set of injectors is under $400 for a 1kz. Oil wise I have tested many of the oils available with a Timken test machine and found Total Rubia 7400 to take th...

Re: Hiace Super Custom 4x4 project

Check the build plate under the seat in the hiace for the axle code. If it's a G series then you can get an lsd from a surf or hilux to fit. Highly doubtful the Mitsi lsd will come close to fitting.

Hey Zed. Looks like it's you've got the homework done on which products are good.
