"what?? you've got to be kidding me! someone must print one - do you realize how many of these things there are on the road?!?!" Well, apparently nobody prints a workshop manual for the KZN-130. Not Gregorys, Haines or even Toyota! So where do I lay my greasy hands on all the technical information ...

howdy It's tyre changing time again for the hilux, I have narrowed the field down to four tyres at similar prices - now all I need is the wisdom within the offroadexpress forums to tell me which is the best buy! I am currently running yokohama geolander AT 265/70r15s (they're crap offroad) Local ...

dont even think about touching those adventuro MTs - we bought 4 complete sets for 4 on site landcruisers - the ones on the two which stayed on site are still going strong (its a mine site on the west coast) but the ones which went on the vehicles which commute to town were worn out completely after ...

yeah i wouldnt go putting a cam belt back on again after pulling it off either.. great way to wreck a perfectly good engine and a damn good excuse for a 1ux transplant, and besides i have always replaced cam belts and water pumps at the same time.... but I'm a diesel monkey. anyways cheers very ...

howdy y'all.. a mate of mine is trying to change out a water pump on the 3litre petrol surf engine - Ive done one on my 1kzte and I had to remove the timing belt.. no biggie cos i was doing the belt anyway but he wants to get away with it without taking the belt off, anyone know if its possible and ...

you're dead right callum i had a flick through the install sheet for the stereo currently in my truck and it does have a separate wire (green/white) for remote aerial.. prolly is not powered when playing CDs but I never wired it the previous owner put it in - the pioneer head unit in my last car ...

if everyone on ORE put in a buck we could have ourselves a lil 'sacrifice to the offroad gods'
quick, someone post in the nissan forum and ask for donations

SUPER! thanks very much. Would you say the truck is safe to drive very gently around town until I can get one of those kits freighted over to Greymouth or is it likely to die completely on the main road and be left for the street kids to pick over in the middle of the night? I phoned a mate of mine ...

hmm.. perhaps my stereo was made in the same factory that made my cursed flywheel..
my remote wire also controls the aerial which explains why it does not retract when playing CDs.. theres no decent radio stations on the coast anyway!

well the bang wasn't that loud.. and fortunately did not involve any water. there was a faint rattling sound for a few days, I dismissed it as a loose heat shield somewhere but it got louder on a long trip up to the buller gorge - it sounded very much like gears not meshing properly and brushing the ...

I did mine a few weeks ago too.. drove through the bush and bent it over on a gorse bush guess I should have turned the stereo off first! I just bought a complete new unit and installed a switch in a spare dash panel to interrupt the remote wire which triggers the electric aerial to go up and down ...

well i ended up buying a 94 with only 90K on the clock, its bloody hard to find the 3.0D in a 5 speed btw.
so i guess now I can expect to fork out another 7 grand getting it offroad worthy but it was well worth it for the low mileage

if your dash lights come on when you brake it means the circuit is good all the way from the dash to the back, but put it back the way it was and get a meter then check from the fuse to chassis with brake pedal depressed, if you get voltage then go pull the interior panels off in the back and check ...

great, thanks I will send that to him

I'm looking at this here surfy m I'm not sure if it's IFS or SAS, whats a SAS conversion worth and how much is it going to set me back? is it even worth doing? The list of queries I have for it are Diesel mileage, Locking diff or LSD, hub type, shock type, rust and service history. Whats the ...

11:00 - return to Warrant cafe... all good. passes. Then have to pay rego (12 months) and RUC (10K's) - $605!!??!?!?!?!? yeah what a rip.. its been a few years since I had my diesel landy and it wasnt quite that much back then.. why i bet with that $605 you could have bought a nice stylish dash ...

youve prolly got some current leaking to the chassis through some water stuck in the works someplace this would explain why your lights come on dimly and you blow fuses cos the water stuck in there creates a parallel path to the negative and a high current 'slow blow' fault, not a dead short. best ...

Thanks Steve.. looks like you're the man to talk to about springs, axles and locking diffs if I decide to scratch build... which may be the case as my 4x4 budget looks like its going to increase considerably due to some recent developments. I'm on a plane to S.E.A tomorrow so I won't be able to ...

Hey everyone - what a friendly forum this seems to be! I'm an Aucklander doing the big move in the first week of May down to the West Coast to go work on a new mine shaft just out of Blackball. I used to have an old fj40 which was great out on Muriwai, Piha and bumbling around in the forest but when ...
