Okay, cheers Fitzy . Unfortunately im in Taranaki, thanks anyway.

Got the Egt gauge finally , just need to know where to put the sensor?

Yeah, thanks heaps for the help I've got some food food for thought regarding trans cooler!

For the drink holder clips, you could just bend a small piece of 2-3mm wire into an 'S' shape in the vice. Thats what I did and works fine

Bump

So i turn them 1 notch towards the engine?

How do you re-index them?

I just want to level the truck out, wouldn't be doing anything to rough on them..

Hi,

When winding up the torsion bars on a kzn130 surf, do you just raise the front end and wind the bolts clockwise until the desired height is reached?

Is it worth getting chunkier aftermarket torisons as well?

Thanks.

I'm keen, how much tread is left approx?

Are they 33x12.5R15 and what type?

Okay, so your main radiator is just the standard factory one? How does it go when towing or going up big hills etc?

Edit: Do you bypass the in radiator trans cooler completely?

Thanks for the replies.

Have been reading up on other post here as well. So should I get an external alloy trans cooler and a good thermostat for my 1KZ And just leave the main radiator as it is?

Yeah, forgot to mention, its an auto The reason I'm thinking of replacing the radiator is because the mechanic said it would prevent cracking the head when towing etc. The current radiator is actually in good condition . He said replace it with an alloy rad for a manual surf, and get an external ...

Yeah alright kjbb, settle I don't know much about 90s or surfs, so i needed to know opinions before i bought, what's wrong with that? Anyway, who told you I 'do nothing'?? I'm trying to sell my 70 so I can fund the surf now, because this is 'my' ultimate plan, it just took me a while to get there ...

Bump.

$7000 ono, on road tires..

Hi. I am going to get a 94 hilux surf tomorow (hopefully) and was wondering what the best mods to give it after i buy. From the search I gather a 2.5in straight pipe exhaust system with dump pipe is a good option. (Where is a good place to get this done?). Also an aftermarket trans cooler sounds ...

Hi All,

Cheers

I took the drums apart today and most things looked, operated O.K., just a bit dirty. The shoes were fine in both. I cleaned everything and lubed up moving parts etc in both drums, however the adjusting wheel didn't turn in either when i tried with the screwdriver (the adjuster inside the drum ...

Cheers for the replies

Ill take the drum apart in the w.e and have a gander.

Would it worth it to just put disk brakes on the back if the drums keep crapping themselves?

In my 70 series landcruiser my handbreak isn't doing what it should. The handbreak can only hold the truck on slight inclines, but nothing more than that. When I got a w.o.f, the guys said it was at 25%. The breaks are fine, so I don't think it can be the pads? Any ideas as to what the problem could ...

I'm in Taranaki.

So I just jack the chassis up from the ground you mean?

Yeap, I've already got greasable pins on my shackles

Will a Turbo of a 3l 1KZ-TE be alright for fitting to my 3B engine or am I better of going with a CT-26 Turbo?

I have a 70 series landcrusier and was wondering how you would replace the bushes in the shackles for a leaf sprung truck??

I suppose this is the right kit for the job: http://www.4wdbits.co.nz/ProductDetails ... ductID=589

Cheers.
