This is something I'm working on at the moment, going inside the chassis next to the gearbox, 3" is tight but i'll make it work ... the factory cast elbow is terrible.

Yea, but I can make my own for a lot cheaper then that

I've been back on a cnc lathe for a month, making a proper 2WD conversion never occured to me until I read this thread, thanks guys

May as well chuck this question in here..

Anyone with 80s done an 'inside the chassis rail' 3" exhaust?

I started making a flange for the turbo outlet to make a straight downpipe instead of that stupid point at the wheel cast elbow thing.

Whats a friend?

Is that the person that only comes to you when they need something?

My weekend consisted of a hungover sleepin followed by a trip to pick up a sb chev to 80 series adaptor kit and today was an interview with a company for a job completing my apprenticeship

aaaaaaaaaaaaah dont make me start dreaming!!!

I just picked up a SB chev adaptor kit for my 80 series, only need the clutch at this stage but it's going to be tempting to go ahead with an LS1/2

truck is way too shiny though

I would never ever trust the factory oil pressure gauge. Mine always sat at just below to on the very bottom line But when I pulled the motor down there was no wear on the the big ends only a few scratches and that was 80,000kms. Am I right in saying that the dodgy bearings are any that are factory?

Holy ####, gonna have to share that pic around the mates...!

How do the wife feel knowing theres something more ginger and dangerous in the ocean then you?

Is that a "D1 Spec" 60mm EGT gauge?

I quite like the look, also the fact they go from 200c to 1100 hundred means us folk dealing with celcius get a good range up to 700

I've been to Reefton recently in a Corolla

And I've tried to get a job anywhere from Westport, Reefton and back down to CHCH and can't get anything

This thread is why I wanna move there!

^^ yeah I've always liked them, they look really classy compared to some of the cheap gauges out there

Are those white gauges calibre?

Without a doubt the aussie one, I lose the plot when he throws the bike down and starts shouting

Um yea, signs everywhere warning you not to go in there, would've thought you guys were past that amatuer phase of not reading signs

Turbos facing the other way do my head in

Curious, I was just looking at Pajeros as a summer hack.

What are the 3.0 and 3.5 V6s like on fuel economy compared to the 2.5 and 2.8 deisels?
