Am looking now at doing Waitawheta going in on Saturday morning, is a grade 5, good mud tyres, winch and full recovery gear. Cheers Stephen

If you take your old one into any Autostop store they can have a replacement made. hope that helps. Cheers

Stick to 15". If you do not need the extra room for bigger brakes stick with 15. I sell tyres and am always having issues with 16" tyres costing more and short stocks in the wholesalers when you need one. 15 is still more common. cheers Stephen

Hi Guys, am looking to run a trip somewhere in the upper north Island over Waitangi weekend. Just looking for some idea of what tracks are open and usable. Tuff truck only trip. all else fails might go to Poreora? any one interested.

Cheers Stephen (Manukau 4x4 club)

So it was the rear diff making the noise then? Stephen

Hi try Bernie at JK Racing (Bombay) or Diffs r us in Otahuhu both have done diffs for me in the past and are good. Cheers

Yeehaa it has passed certification, Got the booster in and then still not good enough so got some slotted rotors made at Znoelli. now have no room to put my airfilter back in, so have made a temporary snorkle out of down pipe till after Easter Weekend when I have time to get an ali one made up and ...

A bit of a distance but Robinson Instruments in Onehunga should be able to make an adaptor to suit. (09)6365836. cheers

Hi, I have been where you are now myself, the solution you use will largly depend on how much you can afford. I did a bit of reasearch and found easiest solution was a deep cycle (gel cell) battery mounted behind seats running all my 12v stuff on relays. ( switched by ignition switch still) and the ...

Yeah rear shoes are right out there. I suspect it is the master cyl as I can here a rubber sqeak when pumping up. pulled it out last night and pulled the pistons and although there is no real sign of wear the very edge (outside of seal) was wet and considering I paid to have it sleaved when I ...

HI I have a brand new one available gen hitachi retail $700 + gst you can have this one for $550 I will need the number off yours to check that it is the right one.

Cheers Stephen

Thanks for that, I had a play around with the factory brakes last night and think something is not quite right with the master cylinder which will not be helping the issue, we tried three times to bleed the brakes and kept getting small amounts of air out of the rear so I am going to pull the thing ...

yeah only two problems with that, a) I don't have a chev sitting round in the shed ( or the cash fo an adapter) and b) am trying to get road legal by the end of the month......

Well I got all inthusiastic last week and bought booster, I cannot fit mine where sadam has his as mine is a 13bt and has a deisel preheater and a whole lot of other crap between master cylinder and air filter. I will hjave to get inventive on the mounting front. anybody mounted one in under dash ...

I have got one on its way to me to see if I can fit it in my engine bay somewhere. if you are just boosting the front how did you get on with cert wof for brake bias? I will phone PBR and see if they do a twin. I presume you have disconected your factory servo? cheers

Hey all you Toyota lovers, I have just failed my high speed brake test for certifying my modified bj74 cruiser, any of you know of any fast brake upgrades? disc front drum rear at the moment, tried disc rear but found had low pedal pressure issues. cheers Stephen

thanks ski but have almost sorted. don't think it has anything to do with shut off valve after all we might have a plumbing problem. but all the same a part # would help. I don't have a picture cause mine is missing. If you look on the drivers side under dash to the left beside the heater (where the ...

I have a BJ74 running a 13bt, we are reconnecting the engine shut off unit and are having trouble, we have found a broken bit under the dash that we think was a relay that operates the vacuum switch above the starter motor. unfortunatly it is busted beyond recognition (no part # left to work out ...

Maybe - but you have to sign in and who is going to join a Nissan forum

You tell him mate

Each tyre manufacturer makes there tyres differently , most obvious being side wall plies. The long and short of it is don't exceed the stated max pressure or max load. If you haven't got the max load on a tyre you won't need max pressure. Maxxis MT762 33/12.5R15 I fitted in the weekend have max ...

.........They definitely are not All Terrain either. if they are not All Terrain then what do you call them ? I call them exactly what they are MT/Rs......... Search on Goodyears website. Well what ever you call them I think they are a great all rouder, I hav run them for 20,000kms now on the ...

I agree, most people think an MUD TERRAIN should be the like of Simex etc, but most are used to the term mud tyre being used on the semi agressive "MT" labelled tyres, whereas they are more of an all rounder. Of the MT Branded tyres, I have found the MTR a good allrounder, and for the price I ...

yes they are coming they were bringing them in as a 18" 35 and after much discusion with my rep as to weather or not I could indent some ex us I was informed that they had secured some manufacture and will be on there way. I for one will be grabing a few sets as soon as they land for my store.

dam coxy that will be a new truck by the time you are finished.

new ring and pinions is the cheepest option, I was quotes $260 + gst for r&p + need new bearing kit etc from the diff shop in CHCH

phone your certifier and ask what the hold up is posibly has not sent in a form correctly, ask him for a temp cert plate (not sure if you can get this they do it for vehicles not already issued with # plates)

hey bud where for art tho get that shinny tank fromth

Hope so, I have bought a couple more of them for parts ( I now own 7) plus one of them is an LPG wagon which I will now be rebuilding first. cannot wait for them to come up from Cantabury.

I say make one. I did and it works well and have built a tool carrier (spade hilift jack and axe) that mounts where the original one did on the back door. only took a couple of hours to mig up.

mmmmmmmmmmmm you truck look so pretty, wanna swap??? huh huh do ya do ya.... looking like a bloody good go hard beast now dude. Pitty about the driver Yeah the driver has a lot to learn aye. But I'd rather learn in a truck like mine than a truck like yours PR. Ha HA yeah us Toyota drivers can ...
