Have a look here. https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/importing-a-vehicle/ All you need to know. Vehicle will be an MC class vehicle. Look carefully at the section on emission standards and frontal impact standards. Could be a complex process getting it road legal. thanks its a 1985/ oct. so apart fr...

there is several of those australian army type land rovers already in NZ, mate. (with the Isuzu diesel conversion etc) so I'm sure it will be do-able. Your modern tires won't be an issue. ok what's the story on them?? the grapevine over here is that Grays came a bit of a cropper on bring these in t...

85County, maybe you have been in Oz to long as your posts really come across as if you are a right prick. ok point taken, i do not even see that i come off that way, not my intent. Don't worry about Lax's comments, he just likes to stir and most people take no notice, you just took the bait well. a...

85County

Only issue I see is the front dislocation cones . Springs have to be retained or held by mounts at full droop on the hoist . They might also pull you up on any aftermarket steering components . and possibly require new brake hoses , pads and rotors . I would go with factory rims and tyre size ie 23...

Jesus Christ you're way too highly strung. Maybe best just to chill out and work on basic stuff like spelling, finishing sentences properly, capitalizing the first letter of a sentence, etc. Ya know, grown up stuff :wink:[/quote] Na ill just leave the troll with his boy books. so i can get on with m...

Smashing that many Nissan Safari/Patrol CV's may be an indicator of other problems. I also had a series of CV failures (although 3 were from Repco - and broke the stub-axle not the CV housing) - then changed the front axle housing and no problems since. That's a LWB with aftermarket turbo doing som...

oh and a couple of picks

85County

Well i have made choice to come home. been in aussie for 7 years and the laws over here are becoming more and more anti Kiwi, nor is it the lucky country any-more. But i have been gone for longer than that, living and working in some of the worlds shit holes. i intend to bring my 85 110 4bd1 with me...

85County

And if one happens to mention nissan live axles are weak again... u going to get schooled. They are no weaker then any other main stream 4wd... iu didn't say they were weak, but the CVs are overly hard, thus if you spin one up and drop it they have a tendency to go bang. having said that, they are ...

80 series is offset mate

ok mu mistake, i thought or believed only the front is offset??

85County

Oh FFS 85County, hes already ditched the idea and has gone for an Isuzu Trooper with a live front axle conversion. We get it, you are a Land Rover guy, in your head the Land Rover is the original 4wd, and anything else is a just a copy. Of course you are welcome here, and you obviously have some va...

ok i think this thread is getting a bit over cooked. 33" on a 300tdi disco, manual?? look its no problem, Nothing is going to explode unless your an idiot. But first gear will be a bit uncomfortable, but see how it goes initially, you can always swap out transfer intermediate gears latter, that...

85County

swapping out for Nissan or Toyota stuff is just way to much work for no gain, a silly way to go. slip out your axels on a regular basis if you are off-roading, check the inner spline for any torque twisting yeah the nissan stuff is not a good swop IMO, far prefer the 80 series for extra width givin...

85County

totally different set-up, and i suspect the seats are to thick etc.

look at SAAB seats

85County

LOOK i think people are over thinking things 6 point bolts are common as are 12 point, every disco i have had has 12 point, but all my defenders have had 6 point. all though i have a clients D1 here now with 6 point i suspect the 12 point with flange is a bit better than a 6 point with a washer. you...

85County

if you want to go hard, mud is all reves so think of this Garrett GTX3582R

or a hypergear ATR45

but realy on a budget and not wanting to pop every thing else in the drive train, look at an ebay job. ..6 - .65 AR

85County

Sorry, so off topic. I think I get it. Because the boost will be higher in the smaller engine the turbo will perform differently hence why you have to match the turbo compressor maps to the flow and boost you are running. Suppose the same goes for the exhaust side of things as well. yes snap. i lik...

Apparently they haven't moved in six years. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/modified-zone/77261-slotted-swivel-hubs.html I had never heard of this, good to know for when I jack the 110 up further. its not about them moving its about setting them up, same size spacers each side means you will get the same...

85County

But if you want to create 200hp in each engine you would need to inject the same amount of air and fuel assuming the same thermal efficiency and 14.7:1 fuel air ratio? You would just need no boost on the 4.0l and boost on the 2.0l to get to that 200hp? I see where you are coming from in terms of ai...

85County

guessing its rusted the bearing onto the shaft, or the pressure plate is rusted. either way its pull the gearbox out. agree but, loosen the fluid line at the master first and see if the peddle will go down, that's first step. with luck it will not do these things have an internal or external slave?...

85County

Hang on here.

is the peddle going down or it the peddle stuck up??

85County

Slotted balls are my favourite! although I think they have milled further than they needed to on this one, there is probably 7-8 degrees of correction there http://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=92853&d=1302604763 yep that's the ideal. have you thought of packers ether...

I have just installed 2 inch lift springs in my 110 and now it feels quite knifey on the road after about 90 km/h. Question is are the caster correction bushes adequate or do I have to get new radius arms? now this is a can of worms ok you lifted, and this has Rolled your front diff, looking from t...

85County

Cool. Where did you get the lockers? Anyone know how to ID the 24 spline vs 10 spline? this is the inner spline, IE the end in the diff. no difference in strength, the change was just for manufacturing, the 10 being machined and the 23 being rolled. as well as the 23 being much easyer to assemble, ...

std land rover axles are fine if you do not drive like a nutter. there seems to be quite a bit of misinformation already posted. up grading axcels is a no brainier, simple and cheep, ashcrofft ot Jmac from Australia. ashcrofft stuff seems to be softer steel, giving it mor flex, thus stronger. But th...
