I have a C class truck that was quite competitive, have not had it out for a couple of years, was thinking of getting trials ready again, needs a bit of cosmetic work and gearbox changed (have replacement) and seliing for about $15 but could look at deal as is without mud king tyres for less?

Hope to see you all there.

Competitors please note that local school will be doing breakfast in the pits, Bacon egg rolls, coffee etc.

Be careful, I think they changed the rules a few years ago and added a minimum factory weight fo "F" class to keep the likes of Vitaras out, only one that complies is the diesel one I think. Min weight from memory was 1350kg?

I'm running 35's on my rally truck, and generally happy with them, seem to sit on sidlings quite well. I liked them due to them seeming quite soft in the side wall and bag quite well for my fairly light truck. However I have never had any other new mud tyres on anything else to compare them to. If ...

It was a good day and we were lucky with the weather. Even though I didn't get an invite in my truck, I got a last minute call to co-drive, which was great fun. It was a bit hard starting at the back of the pack all day, but because of the hard technical hazards it was probably easier than starting ...

You let Chase run a trip up through DOC land without the necessary permits or concessions. Invesure turns is into a winch challenge and bangs it on TV. I don't know who you are refering to who "let" Chase go on Doc land. But is that the film companys fault? and its certainly not the viewers fault ...

i am just glad we get some 4wd stuff on telly , i will watch people roll /crash/burn what ever it saves us from getting more rugby shoved down our throats cauuse its our "national game".more 4x4 less grown men sharing showers and fondling a pigs bladder. i dont care if the footage is bad i would ...

Mine was a primera motor SR20De and could probably hunt out and email you the diagrams I have if you like.

Hi I have done two of these looms now, the first I made up myself after I had fitted the motor and this took quite a lot (time, head scratching and beer), the second I kept the engine loom on the engine when I removed it including the computor plug. To do this you will need to cut the wires that go ...

anything to make it go faster and make it taller is what i want. and parts to make it more economical

Take motor out and it sit higher.
Fit peddles and will be more economical.
Two out three an't bad.

Take one old suzuki Take away roof, and glass Add roll cage and other safty devises as required Soften suspension so nearly sits on bumb stops Add 15 x 8 off set rims (approx $150) Add top of range 31" tires (in this case $350 each, $500 less rims) Result = A kick ass "A" Class truck Add some ...

Just a though, you didn't take it out in the mud that first week did you and perhaps it's not fully disengaging?

no you don't

Makes the tyres work better at low preasures on sidlings though, less rolling side ways with wider rims.

:shock: Hands up - who would be interested in a first class - inter club mud drag event - that is 2 side by side timed knarly, muddy, boggy, tree'd 600m loop tracks - that you alternate and times added together? Just the sort of event Suzuki Xtreme would love to film As long as potential ...

I couldn't agree more with these comments about a fun friendly sport, and that is what the Tv show used to show with the Laurie Sanson series and light hearted look at the Nationals, the show promoted the sport, now (and I am only assuming) the show will be about promoting a selected few in a sport ...

I would probably catch a cheap fly home and back if planned but i think there is enough in the north island to keep me occupied, besides the weeds are growing through the windows so some work around home wont go a miss

Bet theres no weeds growing along the path between house and garage.

big money hasn,t hurt Joe bloggs watching the v8,s or f1, superbike etc etc etc etc . won,t hurt 4x4 either. attendance? i think is sky rocketing? I agree with you entirely but I personally don't know anyone who sits in front of the TV watching the V8's and thinks "I like the look of that I think I ...

I don't think I've missed the point but frankly i don't care, the more events the better, especially if I did get an invite! But from a discussion point, if my understanding is right there will still be a national series and an invite only TV covered series. The ones who do well in the invited ...

So what you are really saying is we are going to create an elitest competition for the special few who are selected, where its all about big money and how flah your truck looks. isnt that just sport though? just like the allblacks, they are the elite top of the sport and cop all the attention ...

I've got a home built "C" class with a sr20 and auto box and I luv it. I have by-passed the auto computor and hard wired it which means it stays in whatever gear I hold it in, if I put in 2nd it starts in 2nd and stays there until I change it. I have even rewired it so I can start while in gear ...

I think we have got off track a bit, it doesn't matter who the compitition is aimed at, it wouldn't worry me if National trucks were deemed ineligable for the overall prize, the point is it is a compitition, a test of driver and machine in off road conditions no matter what class or ability and I ...

the laurie sanson was supposed to be a stepping stone to competing in the nationals, and should be aimed at the club trucks. I'm all for there being easy outs for the shinnys but I agree keep the gymkhana events seperate or a least limit them to one an event. It does make it hard for a competetive ...

Hi all, I just signed up to this forum so I could place a comment. I was marshalling all day at the nationals, and as a club member I felt it was my duty. I took along my Son, who co drives for me in club rallies, and a good friend of mine. We were on hazard 30, the man made one, in the afternoon ...
