nope , just saving him from laying under his truck to change the pins You don't have to lie under the truck to change the pins...you redrill the first shear pin (gearbox end) out by 1.5mm and put in a high tensile bolt..preferably a hex bolt (allen key style). You leave the shear pin closest to the...

Re: Rattly rear calipers GQ

Ok...and i'm assuming the wheel is still on tight when you do this test?

I had a similar rattle and the local brake outfit said slider pin, I changed the pin and still had the rattle.
My one was the rear disc wasn't being clamped tightly against the studs. Blimmin rattle annoyed me for months!

Re: Y60 PTO Winch

Check the shear pins out. Most people fit an 8mm cap screw for the one nearest the gearbox and a genuine shear pin up front because they are easier to punch out when you snap one And use a nyloc nut on the bolt - also make sure the bolt isn't too long cos it will connect with stuff when the shaft i...

Re: Oil coming out of top of diff breathers?! help

Not trying to be funny but can someone explain 'triple lockers' for me pls?
A front diff has 1 locker, the rear diff another locker so a vehicle can only be twin locked :? .
Nissan driver obviously so don't get it when the yota guys say their 4wd is triple locked??

Auto sparky - mobile

Hi guys

Anyone in the Christchurch or North Canterbury area know of a good auto sparky who does house calls?
Have a bit of an issue with the electrics and don't really want to drive it to town.

Yes but do some homework before you spend more than is necessary, my mounts have been in since 1991 - new OEM mounts and I should get another 20yrs.

Re: Wtd: GQ 2 pot calipers and rotor

Rotors are discs which are rotors...quality is basic, when mine are at their minimum thickness i might go for slotted rotors.
Still have standard rotors even though their thickness will be down from factory and with the twin pot efi calipers I can stamp on the pedal
and lock everything up.

Possibly well enough for a cert coxsy..maybe even go slotted front rotors, but nothing beats twin pot calipers even though the twin pot pistons from an efi42 are smaller than the oem GQ single jobbie.

Re: Wtd: GQ 2 pot calipers and rotor

Took me 8 months to finally source twin pot calipers from an efi..that was hassling wreckers every 2 weeks.
Well worth the effort, straight bolt on to 15" rims etc and I can lock up 37's.
