even has the chrome strip on the wheel arch... i reckon it is urs mate.

i have this mug also :)

did you end up doing this? Thread revival haha

hey, I have to have a look at my fuel sender too, apparently its open circuit.. I have a few shells around so if you get stuck for a sender hit me up.. cars are out near dalby, I'm at gowrie junction ;) could it be a bad body earth? bloody 40 year old electrics :down:

ke70dave, I have a fairly new set of monroe gas inserts.. I'm sure there is much better stuff out there.. but thats what i have, I guess i could just try a 6kg set and see how it feels. altezzaclub, that is some interesting info.. thanks GJM85, if it wasnt for the 60000kms on them i might be interested.. what engine do you have in yours?

So my poor stock struts are having issues coping with the added weight of the 4age, and the abuse I hand it at events. I currently have lowered kings in it. I'm looking at doing a coilover sleeve kit, but don't know what spring rate to go for. Not even the slightest idea.. 5 kg? 7kg? 8kg? I don't know what the current springs are rated at so I can't even make a guess. Anyone have some idea?

So the camber changes and rear swaybar netted me a good 1.5-2 seconds a lap at my cotton. Down to a 50.08 second lap. Would have gone quicker but a leaking brake line ended my day. Very happy. :) Now I think I need better front shocks and/or springs.

I don't know what it was off, maybe a ke70? i welded a couple of brackets to the bottom of the diff, drilled a couple of holes in the floor, and mounted with couple of links and rubbers off an old swaybar i had lying around. I put a big square washer either side of the floorpan (about 2 inches across) and it works ok for now. I will do something a bit more permanent later. this was my first attempt at a sway bar, it was pretty simple, and works great. :)

So I was having issues getting around tight corners with my 2 way t series lsd, I added some camber and toe out to the front which helped quite a bit. Then I custom fitted a swaybar I had lying around to the rear axle. OMFG!! It is amazing! I can turn corners, I can drift, I can Scandinavian flick.... High speed corners with constant throttle with no understeer. With power on oversteer. I feel like I can actually drive this car now. I was starting to doubt my abilities, but after the new 170rwhp 4age went in, I have been having issues. I guess the chassis wasn't up to the grunt. Very very happy man right here! The combination of camber, toe out and rear bar.. Mwah ;) And thanks to Coln72 for the help with camber. :)

wouldnt the single main leaf twist like all F..K under load? I get axle tramp with all of the standard leafs with the short bottom one flipped and put on top of the pack.. I think you would have to do a 4 link to make it work?

Not quite, I try and squeeze every last tenth of a second outta my car when its on the track.. that extra notch or 3 on the handbrake makes all the difference in the pedal and brake bias.. I think i might be needing to change the master and maybe add vacuum assist and a bias valve. Would prefer a full race pedal box though lol

I have adjusted them up.. But i wear them quickly ;) haha hit the nail on head there..

Ok so I had a ta22 T50 (forward shifter) box behind my 4age, and i am part way thru switching to an ae71 (rear shifter) box.. I have switched the tailshaft yoke, cut the floor and got the box all bolted up. it all works. and I LOVE the new position of the shifter where i can actually reach it! BUT my handbrake is pretty much touching the shifter in 2nd and 4th gears. Now this might not seem like much of an issue (unless you like doing handbrakies..which i do.. but thats not what I'm worried about) BUT i use my handbrake sort of like a rear bias adjuster and brake pedal hardener.. make sense? I notch it up until i can just feel the shoes touch then back it off one click. Then i go cut a sick lap or two.. without doing this my foot is halfway to the floor before i get pedal and at that point all i get is front brakes.. (As I'm writing this i think i can see what i need to do.. :( i need to spend more $ on my bloody brakes don't i?) My current brakes are the absolute biggest you can fit under the 13 inch wheels in the front (250mm vented) and big drums on the T series diff in the back.. only running the standard master. maybe theres something easy i can do to get the pedal up and bias towards the rear without changing much else??? (easier than relocating the handbrake?) sigh. every time you do something on your car you find 2 more things to give you grief.. whyyyyy? lol

i have an autometer monster in my hliux (ghey and i didnt put it in)... anyways, it is super fast. it is twice as fast as the factory unit in the dash.. (why is there a monster tach in an auto V6 4x4 hilux? f'd if i know!)
