Re: "Lando" - C79's V8 Disco Build Thread
to add to that hook it looks like its cast not forged, when cast fails it breaks off and snaps, forged will typically bend and open up when it fails

Re: ln65 front driveshaft play - missing plug
yeah they have a plug in the end, if they get overfilled with grease they can hydraulic the plug put as the slip joint compresses, time for a replacement driveshaft if its failed on excessive play in the spline

Re: calling 1KZTE (spec. kzn185) gurus
watch your wallet and your expectations mate, the 1kzte is a 97kw engine you can throw thousand and thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of research and labour at it and if your lucky make 30%-50% gains which = net 130kw to 150kw which is pretty low down on the scale of performance, you could ...

Re: Why no Maxxis Tyres?
silverstones and simexes do wear very quickly and particularly the silverstones with their softer compound but they are a performance tyre and nothing else so you don't buy them for their long lasting wearing ability let alone wasting them driving around on tar sealed roads

Re: Why no Maxxis Tyres?
those creepies are an awful tyre, they are a hard rubber compound and very heavy tyre and far too stiff in the sidewall to bag unless you've got them on a 3.5t barred up safari and even then most other tyres will out perform them, the only box creepies tick is they are hard to damage and cut up on r...

Re: LN107 diff ratio ?
I think the G52 refers to your diff. The G means it is the 8" diff common to hiluxs, the 52 means it is a 3.72 ratio I believe. very close but the diff code should be 4 digits, would be a pain in the arse if the diff code could be the same as the gearbox code :D X=crownwheel diameter ie G=8&qu...

rather than talking to an auto sparky you'd be far better off talking to whoever you're going to take it to for lvvta certification so it meets their requirements, its always a pain in the arse having to do a job twice because you didn't find out what the correct way was the first time around
