Hay chaps

Came across this and was wondering if anyone here has tried it? Would be keen as to have done but not sure how much is involved yet. I have a spare button on my alarm remote that hopefully could be put to good use with this feature.

mk1tna:so the diff lowering blocks will eliminate the c.v binding prob or just help with it?

Hmmmm iv'e had it with all my gear (strops, shovel etc) and a full load of blokes and from the driver seat it still seemed like front was dipping down but i didn't get out and have a look. i'll test that out tho. Adjusting headlights shouldn't be a biggy. In theory tho the kit should work the way i ...

Hi guys/gals So my surf has a 2" bodylift and 2" lift spring installed (shocks to suit also), problem is the front end is a little lower than the back (not even 1" but enough to annoy me) due to the torsion bars only being wound up to be almost level. Now i could just wind them up more but i've read ...

Anyone else think of the Japanese BOSO style when they look at those pics?

Welcome from another newbie and fellow smurf driver

I was planning on buying a few pairs of the smaller rectangle spot lights from super cheap, using a pair on the front bar and other two pairs on the roof. they're 55w from memory and light strength is at least 100m. Wanted them for hunting and night missions so that should work fine right? the whole ...

I heard through the grape vine its all sorted now yea? Sounds like whoever mounted the slave cylinder put it on the wrong angle and also the pipe into the slave cylinder was leaking everytime you put your foot on the clutch. Yep thanks heaps Jason!!! The clutch goes mint now, not to mention the ...

Thanks heaps for the flow of info guys, talked to the seller yesterday and he said he replaced the slave the day before it was picked up so he reckons he may not have bleed it properly, also reckons that if it's not that then the master has probably had it as its done alot of kms. All the advice i ...

Hi guys I just got a 91 surf with a 1uz + 5 spd conversion, Engine goes great but its having serious trouble selecting every gear. Even with the clutch engaged it crunches into reverse. With the engines on its a real struggle to get into gear however if i turn the engine off it glides into gear fine ...

Thanks guys appreciate it.

Hi guys
Tomorrow my dads driving a surf from Auckland down to Christchurch, it has maxxis 33's and just want to know what the best pressure to run them on for the trip would be. I read on another thread that the wrong pressure can chew thru the tyres life. Help would be great thank you

Ok guys so im thinking of grabbing 1 of these kits but would really like sum opinions on it as im new to this. Will the whole steering wheel on the left thing get in the way? let me know what ya think, Will i get more grief from the cert guy with the kit being from states? The price seems gud ...

Ah thank you Smurf

Ok so my spare wheel is under the body at the mo but i want to move up to the back window like the face lift ones. What i'd like to know tho is there more to it than just fitting up the "wheel bracket thing" and changing to a face lift tail gate? In my experience nothing that easy so am i ...

Yep, but only for the 28days the wof check is valid for, from the day of the first check. Ive done the above heaps, if a garage isnt being nice for some reason wait 28days take somewere nicer. I've done this before also, Took vehicle to a place and the guy said $1500 of repairs and you can have ...

coxsy wrote:no, body lifts need a cert, suspension of 2'' is fine

Huh? I thought you needed cert for a 2" suspension lift aswell, I read TOYSUZI post on rules but that just confused me.

Can anyone clarify?

I'll be keen for another time if you don't go out this time, got abit on at the mo.

I'm also in the market for new shocks (and everything else required for a 2" suspension lift), thru my forum trolling etc the ranchos seem to be pick of the bunch. Has any1 sourced truck parts from the states before? they are cheap cheap ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/RANCHO-RS5136-R ... _659wt_952 ) even shipping is cheap to n.z.
Opinions?

Oh yea hay John, Good ta hear from you. Hmmm ok i might might have chat with the wof guy, looks like i'll be doing the engine conversion soon rather than later. I'll have a search thru the forum for a similar build thread for sum info. Feel free to post links if you can.
cheers
