Hey guys I'm looking for info so i can plan my build-up i am still considering SASing the front end Some-what like SOLID D22 did. if i went that road i would put in a GQ front diff but obviously the pumpkin is on the wrong side so my questions are; 1. how do i flip the axle? (i have googled it...

i was working on my old mans g60 patrol one day in the small shed which happens to house the switch board for the main shed. The Ute had been siting inactive for 18 months and i had just replaced the broken clutch master cylinder (which i broke trying to overhaul it) i had the lead light in...

True that, don't go out bush without my leatherman. I also have full 1/2" socket set metric and imp, full set 8-32 mil set/ring spanners some shifters, elecy tape and zip ties.

Hi, It looks like there was some real shock loading on the front wheels/diff bouncing up those ruts. I'm no expert but when my mate did his front diff it keep making the crunching clunking noise the whole time there was drive to the front wheels, did it continue to make that noise all the time...

Hey my old man' Triton did the same over heat on hot days under load and the A/C thing, work for 5 min then go hot, it was some furry crap stuck between the radiator and the A/C condenser. the A/C cuts out because the refrigerant cant cool down enough and the system trips on high head pressure...

Hey mate from what i gather running 4.62 gears will give you stock gear ratios on 34" tires, but running 4.8 would mean you would need approx 36"- 37" tires or at 100 km/h the engine would be revving somewhere near 3500 rpm if i am wrong please feel free to shoot me down

Hi all just got back from a test drive after fitting up the hjz80 air box, i was amazed at how much bigger the filter was and the amount of power that comes from just letting the engine breath a little more, well worth it!!

Im not sure of the series. Its a ZD30DDT '04' model dx.

hey guys can anyone tell me if i put 4.62 gears in the rear diff and an R200A with 4.62 gears in the front will my speedo be correct on 32's, 33's or will it be over reving? Im running 4.37 gears at the moment and the engine is laging and it's got no low-down torque

I dont have BF's iv got mickey t's there 32"x10.5" and im running a 16"x8" 0 offset and they are still just inside so u should be fine. might need some work on the rear of the mud guard tho as mine hit the tyers at full lock.

hi guys can anyone point me in the right direction to find a R200A front diff that will fit my 04 ZD30 dx (it's the VG33E nav one yea?) as an internet search didnt get me anywhere. Also im planing to run 33x12.5's what sort of gears am i lookin for something like 4.6 or 4.88?

cheers guys thanks for the feedback i will try the sender first and go from there, but this engine didn't come with a service book and the dealer was just iching to get rid of it so i fear the worst.

G’day all i have questions for all the tech savvy out there. First i should say that my 04 d22 has done 155,000k’s and i picked it up from the dealer 2 months ago, since then i have had to spend $2.500 on the engine because of a timing gear that was missing teeth and other things like the...

no the temp didn't move. its done 155,000 k's and as far as i can tell there is no leak. its a loud clinking easily heard over the engine at first i though it was something bouncing of the motor into the chassis.
