29th - 30th

[catalystracing]

Ill get this one underway..
Removed the front seats out of the Lux and tightened up the loose bolts that were letting the backs move around and repaired the seat position slide mechanism, removed rear door cards and got the central locking freed up. Must be worth heaps more now

[meatc]

Having not really done anything on my own Zuk for a while I spent the avo finishing stripping the chassis off. Old one is now out side and new LWB chassis is now in the shed, upside down but in the shed.

More work on Darinz new Nissan tomorrow, Taupo 1000 is coming fast.

Oh get my new dimple dies tomorrow, think the mate that made them has a few extra sets to, if anyone wants some.

Removed the electric winch and support plate off the playdoh... Raised the front 10mm.. whoot whoot... And back down to one battery.. Pinched one to put in the little 121 as its blew all its acid out....The 121 starts really fast now !

[tweake]

pulled gearbox out. getting ready to rebuild it and fix up the mistake i made with the clutch last time.

[Dirtydog]

Went to start the terrano to do some firewood, wouldnt start.

Quick though was to bang starter, which was the problem.

Major problem is that i had to do that every time i turned the key....

Also got to drive a david brown 950, about a 50's tractor to move a log, so much fun starting up a old tractor thats been sitting for a few years. went well after it started, apart from the sparks out the exhaust......

[muddyplumber]

[onebadman]

[lincooln]

went for a trip on my dads place in Kaiwaka, was good times

[Crash bandicoot]

Installed the dual battery system in the mistral, hard wired the A/C pump to a dash switch and plumbed up to the engine breather for oily air and converted fire extinguisher for a reservoir

[jonossiksilvia]

Went for a easy play at the waimak today with a mate. First hole ended up with both of us winching out. No action shots as to busy driving. Heres a pic

[Suza]

Used the Safari to clear to 4x4 utes from a MVC I attended this morning on a one way bridge, bit of dragging, bit of winching and then a bit of big ditch verge 4x4 action

[ladeda]

Finally got the shita out of the shed. Took it to work with the aim of changing ova the steering box and a whole list of other things. Then got called out to a Scania set up for water cutting that had flat bats on its pump motor, that wasted about two hours. Spent the rest of the day wrestling the steering box out of the lada. Really hope I Neva have to do that in the bush...ever... .I did read somewhere on here it was a mission, can safely say now I believe it.

[trucked]

Nearly finished the new bar for the hilux, has decent enough approach angle and winch is nice and high out of the crap.

[Colinl]

Did that involve four wheeling? Otherwise its off topic here.

[Dirtydog]

Picked up a 20L of 15-40 for the terrano/bighorn for $104 from repco,

Seems like a good buy considering a 10L is usually about $95.

Also got some brake fluid and some rain-ex anti fog aswell, works bloody wonders.

Also fixed aircon unit, blown fuse aswell as another which i still cant figure out what it was too. (the glory of owning a jap import)

[jimichelle]

how does the break fluid work?
you apply liberally until it breaks? or just smear it on?

[Flannel]

Replaced the Swaybar link and D bushes with OEM rubber ones (corners a fair bit better now). Cleaned up the links and changed the engine oil while I was at it.

Ordered a 3" Exhaust and the last few bits for my Front Axle rebuild including the later 80 series CV's and flanges.

Tested out the rear cargo Mudgrabba mat by taking the dogs out in it, carpet stayed clean but everything else still filthy.

[Hug-o]

50mm lift all round now. Front ended up been like 70-80mm haha now i just need some 35"s

[sibainmud]

Friday night, replaced broken spring,

Drove up the back of possum palace, forgot diff lock, switched it on and speared off the track to rest drivers door on a tree Now it matchs the passengers one Going for the "hourglass" look
All going well until Sunday lunch time, when on a steep climb got a little air time with turbo fully spooled, and broke the shaft when it came down
Anyone know of any standard TD27 turbos, going cheap? That was my last one Need to find one in next week or so.

Cheers,
