Hope everyone that is available will be there.

Neither the TPS sensor or the airflow will so this, it is most likely to be either a intake leak, the idle speed controler (not working or gummed up with crap) or the throttle butterfly not seating properly, start with the intake (easy) spray carby cleaner aroung the intake system (not in it) if the ...

Hi Guys I don't get much of a chance to get on here often. I have been battling this subject for a while with mixed success after lots of e-mails and traveling to Dunedin. What most people don’t realise is that this will DIRECTLY AFFECT THEIR DAILY DRIVE. The hot rodders and rally cars that we are t ...

Hi XJ The head is off at the moment, light port/polish, cam being reground for more torque mid range. The motor is not capable of producing to much grunt as it is a return flor head design which heats up the incomming air to much, there was a out fit ni the states making cross flow heads and ...

What sort of diffs are you running???? A landcriuser won't fit up, the spline count is wrong. If you are running hilux/prado/landcruiseror better yet safari axles then use the hole prado transmission, swap the bell housing, torque converter, input shaft (cable) and you will have no adaptors and a ...

It will fit bell housing and drive shaft wise, but the transfer case is different (full time 4wd) and the wiring is completely different.
It will fit with a bit of work, but not as strong.

Mabey, but not likely Some ZJ's had the AW-4, but I dont believe they were export models which we see. In general in NZ The XJ uses the Japanese Aisin made A340 transmission found in Pajeros, Bighorns, Surfs, Lexus etc, it has a differnt output shaft spline for the american transfercase. The ZJ uses ...

when you say bruce will check the courses the day before, what does that entail? will he be walking them, or driving them, and if he is driving them, what will he be in, his comp truck???? He will both walk and be driven by the hosting club officials, driving the tracks completely would probably ...

Pete 6 regions were represented at the meeting,(Marlbrough, Canterbury, South Canterbury, Otago, Centeral Otago and Southland) and it was decided (after a hell of a lot of discussion) that as we are just starting to get under way that a simpler set of rules would be more benifical to the growth of ...

Hi Guys

Rick

The three rules that I think will defiantly be in there are 1 33" tyre 2 One traction aid 3 4 point roll cage(removable) Appropriate vehicle specs are relative to the terrain the vehicles are expected to compete on, so a bit of clarification might be handy. That is, are Clubman class vehicles ...

We are have the meeting for the SI winch challenge serries this weekend.
Does any one have any suggestions about what should be in them?

Rick

Are you trying to sucker someone in to saying something they may regret. Not for me this time. Hell no, we are having our SI meeting soon and were wondering what the problems were so that we can try and avoid them from the start. I DO NOT want to stir any trouble, I'm just hoping that a little info ...

North Island.

I'm in the South Island (known as New Zealand)
We keep hearing about internal bickering in the North (the funny Island) and there seems to be a lot less enthuasam about the sport than there was 2 or 3 years ago, Why?

Rick

Hi all Have been busy with work lately, so the truck went on hold for a while, but we have made some progress latley. Pulled the suspension out because I was unhappy with it, it just was not going to provide the articulation and comfort that I was after. So we have started on a 5 link front end and ...

The Winch Challenges seem to have dropped of. Why? Is it a rule problem, a club problem, what??

Rick

What you need is a Jeep, no need to waste your time on a hilux.

Nope, ric has nothing top do with these tyres

Not much point in using a switch, Tem Morison blew the bags when he hit a bridge on the West coast, and the space left in front of the passanger will be put to good use, it will carry my lunch which I'll eat when waiting for Toyotas and Nissans to catch up!

Nope there not, honest, I sware, they are 27's

Are you talking about my handbrake? She will thump you. Yep, dam it, those bloody air bags have caused some headaches, but we think that we have found a way around not reinstalling them, will find out next month when I hope to be going for cert and compliance. Aussie competion rules make you remove ...

Those Mtrs look suspeciously like a set that belong to a certain other 4WD nutter from Canterbury. Wink
