Hi im looking at a 2.8 hilux its a 91 non turbo done 320k it seems to run well no smoke been told it dosent burn oil. But when you take the oil cap of it blows back badly now generally thats a sign of a stuffed engine. But im just wondering if these engines are different or am i right in thinking it ...

right well im keen to keep costs down really so was thinking of cuting and turning the front axle. if i do a spring flip as well will the driveshaft still be long enought? yeah disk brakes and power steering are also on the list. Is certification easy to get does it cost much?

Hi im thinking of doing a shackle reversal and spring over axle on my project 40. Im sure lots have done this and want to know how hard it was to certify is there anything major they look at? How much does it cost? Would you recomend it or does it get to top heavy? Thanks

yeah thanks ill do that sometime whenever its fine for you. Do you run your lpg all the time or do you swith it to petrol for offroading.

yeah i thought about a 3b but hear they have about 80 hp which is a bit slow really but would consider it. Just trying to find other options if there are any. The 2f dosent seem that bad the only thing that i dont like is the fuel consumption ive got a lpg tank which i could fit only needs its cert ...

Hi i have a 40 series landcruiser with a 2f in it but wanted to swap that for a diesel is a ld28 a easy conversion? has any one done one? our is there a better engine to use i want one reasonably cheap with desent power and preferably a bolt straight in job. Any suggestions?

well i pulled them apart today and the right front had been rubbing so i just cleaned them up abit and completely regreased everything. Hopefully that will solve it if not ill just get new ones does anyone have a number of someone who sales them. All i could find was toyota and they wanted $2oo+ for ...

yeah i do all my work my self done lots of cvs etc just never heard of this bushing before but know where you mean so im sure ill see it. Well il get the bit ordered and have a look on the weekend. will let you know how i get on thanks for the help

okay that sounds like it could be the problem as i do have some movement. Im not sure what bit you mean thought does it slide in the spindle so then go in between that and the cv. Do you know any link that might explain it a bit more?

yeah thats what im thinking but ive pulled it apart like 5 times and havent seen a problem.It has got worse this time so maybe there will be something more noticable but do you think it could be anything other than the axle maybe transfer case or something? Thanks for the reply

Hi there ive got a 1992 landcruiser vx. A couple of months ago the splines on the end of my cvs and hub went so i lost front drive so replaced it with new cvs from BNT and hub from lineside. But after a while i ended up with a loud rubbing noise so took it all apart lots of times and then it ...

finally got the internet working again so all the lada fans are coming out then hay great stuff. Thanks mongoose for the number ive ordered the part so will have it running again soon.

okay that would be great thanks alot for your help

well i got the car for free because the previous owner was told the con rod was snapped but it turns over etc and valves move so i think it is out of timing and i found part of the adjuster it was snapped in half and the chain is really loose but i cant adjust it. I found this m and im missing part ...

yeah i thought all that would have to come out but was hopping otherwise. That would be great if you could Denz7@hotmail.com thanks for all the help

okay thanks for that i will give them a call tomorrow.How is the easyest way to fit it does it clip in down the bottom or something?

Hi there anyone know where i can get parts for a lada niva 1600 or more specifically a timing chain adjuster.

Anyone got a cheap 33 inch mud tyre maybe with rim ive got 4 maxxis mudders at the moment but dont care what type so i need a spare so if anyone has a cheap tyre let me know.
Thanks

the lpg guy said that i have to get a sealed pipe to vent it (which they have) and that they have to cut the pipe but if i weld up the brackets (done) bolt it in and drill the holes for the pipes etc they will do the rest said it shouldnt cost much so it sounds good to me cheaper than buying petrol ...

i dont think it has a vent box which could cause a problem then. The tanks a bit rusty but not much the test expired in 99 so needed a new one anyway. by the sounds of it it might be easyier to leave it on the back just worried about smashing on a rock. Thanks for the help

its a copper pipe from memory it already runs along the side so was goin to make a hole and have it come in that way so shouldnt be near the d/shaft. so where would i need to make the hole to vent it to?

cheers for that looks like il be cutting it then. Im leaving the roof of so should be vented enough. Thanks for the reply

hi i recently bought a 1975 fj40 with a 4.2 petrol it has lpg fitted. The car needs some work so im stripping it down and goin 2 spray it and rebuild it. So while its apart i thought i would move the lpg tank from under the back to behind the front seats in the cab but that will leave me with like a ...

hi what condition are the bfs in how much tread now and when new? thanks

Yeah i hear that the little suzukis are cheap to run but not much good for sleeping in what about a toyota if you can find any generally good and solid with a variety to choose from. Nissan Terranos arent bad my boss has 1 done like 130000 but smokes like hell but not a bad 2.7turbo diesel ...

Hi im looking for a bit of a project so thought i might buy a discovery and turn it into a bobtailed ute if you know what i mean. So i just want to know what legal crap would i have to do to get it on the road? So if anyone has any info can you give us a yell or if you have a cheap disco our range ...

yeah my thoughts to so i got one for $8000 1992 vx limited 4.2 tdi goes well power steering is making funny noises and cv joints are worn but nothing really done 336000 ks sadly its an auto but it was cheap. Thanks for all your help ill b saving up so money and then im keen on that lift kit. oh and ...

cheers for the help i went in the toyota place in town and they reackon anything thats done over 300k will have something major brake e.g. diffs drive shaft is that so? cause they reackon anything under $14000 is cheap cause of a reason. Thanks

yeah same really just have to settle for a high ks one and build on it as the funds come in. Cheers for that ill have a look.

Yeah thanks a cooler that sounds like a plan. Now i just need to find the right car i want an 80 series with a 4.2 turbo diesel and must be a manual so if anyone has 1 for 8-10k or less give us a yell.
Thanks
