Giday Stompin, I'll throw mine in the mix! Me cooks givin me pressure to go back to a 4 door ute (I think she wants to start the breeding programme again) Any how, I've got a 92 safari, owned the bugger for about 11 years now, she's just this week clocked over 180,000km, its a manual, ARB winch bar ...

Engine oil is pretty simple, look for the API rating (American petroliem institute), if your running a diesel you should be looking for a C (compression engine) rating, this has extra detergent in it to keep the old oilers clean, you will see API cf, or cg, or ch, etc, basically the higher the ...

Hay Kiwi I've been running Cooper STT's in 35's for the last 11 years (old style, with the good tread patten) and they have been unreal, ran BFG for years before that but they became a joke after driving on the coopers, Pretty pricey now tho, and the new style doesn't seem to work nearly as well as ...

Fark me!

As others have said "What happened to the Kiwi way"? Give the bloke a tow an go on ya way.
Wouldn't pull a stunt like that where I come from, in fact there's a bounty on barstards like that!

Hi mate, Whenever I change Diesel filters, 4X4, Diggers, Loaders, Trucks, etc, I always pre fill my filters with fresh diesel before refitting, havn't had to bleed a system for nealy 20 years doing it this way? Give it a lash next time ya do ya filter an see if it helps. Reece.

Hi Gav, IMHO i'd stick with a well known brand, Safari, TJM, etc, as they seem to put in a lot or R&D in to there products, although some people seem to build a decent bent pipe set up, what ever it is just make sure it is well sealed! Another thing to consider is the ability to be able to replace ...

Thanks mate, can you please PM me a contact phone No, or address.
Cheers Reece.

Hi Al, Do you still have those Maxtrax and radius arms, are the Maxtrax still in fair condition or bugger all life left in em?
Cheers Reece.

Yeah I understand the COG thing, ive logged over 2.5 million kms in truck and trailer units and currently work as a heavy transport driving instructor and heavy machinery operator trainer. The set up in my GQ is 3" coils and 30mm spacers, I work on the droop theory for off road performance, and was ...

Yeah, the good old rear drive shaft issues! I've gone longer stronger lowers and panhards and will go adjustable uppers, so i may be able to tweak things a bit to suite, me current 3" coils with gearbox packers have been in for 8 years now with not the faintest hint of vibration, but sure as s--t ...

Thanks for all ya help guys, I like the sound of the 5" fronts idea, I've been wondering about that concept, kinda makes sence to compensate for the heavy front bar, and could work well with drop boxes and raised towers to try and get that bloody front end to twist up a bit better. Thanks again ...

Cheers Shane, thats what I'm after, you got some weight up front on ya rig too?
Thanks for the imput dude

Cheers for that Flyingbrick, yeah i've had a poke around their site, plenty of candy there! what I was hopeing for is some one running these coils to add their opinion of how they go long term, but will give warren a call an see what he recomends.
Cheers for ya help mate.

So here's the brief team: The old shorty is on its 2nd set of coils now an its time to throw some new ones under it, I'm pretty keen to give those EFS buggers a go, and instead of the usual trial and error thing, I thought I'd put it out there? What I'm lookin for is an honest 4" lift for the front ...

Giday Matt Just had a close look around me tyers an I reckin theyve got about 6mm in the centers and 15mm on the side lugs,so I might have put ya crook there they may be a bit cheeper. Its taken 5 1/2 years to get them to that stage so im pickin they'll be good for a while yet. Im pretty keen to ...

50 bucks is good dude, if i remember back me pipe came in about $350 and i put me own headers on but that was about 8 years ago. Pays to have a good sift around for prices tho ah.

Im thinkin along the same lines as the others, 2 1/2 inch for a 2.8 litre turbo. there seems to be a masive price jump when you go to a 3 inch pipe especialy if you run a flexi on the system, i've got a 4.2 GQ nissan with extractors and 3 inch mandrel pipe, and remember that dam flexi being about a ...

Hows it team! I've been brousing on the ore site for a year or too now, but have only just got internet on at home so can now join the fold. Back to the subject: Did my usual 5000km service on the GQ today, just the usual, oil,filters,diesel filter, and while re oiling the uni filter (been running ...

Dont know if anyones interested, but im thinkin about sellin me 35x12.5x15 Cooper Stt muds, got 5 of the buggers, been great tyers, faultless on the black top under the heavy GQ and have held there own off road. im thinkin about $700 got about 8--10mm in the centers, be good dailys for someone ...
