Hmmmm bit weird I just had a look at the ebay.au site( I use the US version). Did a search for oil line's, most of them said they ship worldwide but gave no option to see the rates in the "postage & payments" tab, most of the time you can click on the drop down box and select New Zealand and see the ...

Im looking at buying oil line kit and water line kit for my turbo Il be doing soon, there is a few kits on ebay.com.au but dont know how it all works. Can anyone help? Give me a link to what your looking at mate and I'll check it just so I don't put you wrong. All I make sure of is that they ship ...

just found this from another site DRIVE TRAIN Standard rear diffs GL5, SAE 90 for above 18 deg C or 80W or 80W-90 for below 18 deg C. 2.2 Liters LSD rear diffs just use specific LSD gear oil. Front diffs without ADD (not Surfs) are same as rear diffs above. 1.6 Liters Front diffs with ADD (all 2nd ...

yeah you should change the fuel filter as well, make sure that you use a 24mm 6 point socket on your diff bungs as they round of very easily. I use 75w/90 oil in my diffs the only thing that could be different in yours would be if it has a LSD fitted, then you will need a specific oil True pretty ...

[quote="Overkill"]Hope this helps lol I'd just watched that as you posted it yea makes sense now, its that the same grade oil I can use in a KZN130? that method they used to check the level is all good to do yea? Any idea how much should be going in. I should be changing the fuel filter as well yea?

hey can some give me a few pointers or point me to a tutorial on the net on changing the diff oil and just a full service in general, first time I've done this and the trucks overdue for a service. Got changing the oil and oil filter sussed. Anything else I need to check as in the fluids and what ...

If you have raised ya rear 50mm you will need to move you brake proportional valve rod up 50mm as well ....as your rear is now 50mm higher there will be a lot less braking in the rear as the valve is stopping more of the fliud going to the rear drums.. Very easy to do.just make up a bracket to move ...

As I've been asked before "do you what this to look cool or go places"

Who would say such a thing

Actually tom I think you've got a good a business slogan right there or at least a forum sig lol

Bigger tread equals less (dull) brakes as they have a bigger moving mass to pull up. Chuck some recovery hooks on the wish list along with some strops / snatch ropes and a high lift jack / hand winch. Sooner or later u will be caught out with ur new 33s on there. By the way, IFS surfs are a cool ...

Just fitted 33" bighorns on the weekend to the surf with just a 2" suspension lift and torsion bars wound up a bit to match. I've got a bit of rub after I took the front mud guards off and gave it tap on the drivers side only on full lock, passenger side seems fine but hear/feeling a very slight ...

i reckon you can get about 1.5 inch lift in the front from the torsions. Any more and you run out of down travel making it bloody useless and you will start lifting wheels cornering on road etc and also make it a very very hard ride. I have always found 1.5 inch and 2 inch in the rear is fine for ...
