I will add with what Geert stated. I have the 1 HDT and it flies. But mine is manual and I have WtoA intercooler with the boost increased via "T" piece. Still have factory turbo so boost is restricted. Your engine should easily hold 120 km/h all day long up hill and down dale. A run...
I guess you are not worried about the legality of this but insurance wise I would be And there are thousands of thes3 with brakes that work so it is just a matter of finding the fault. Having said that I have not had the frustration of what you are experiencing So don't give up and good...
If you think you are under powered with the 1hdt just up the boost and fuel. Can run 12- 14. Psi without any major problems and the difference in performance is fantastic. I also added water to air inter cooler. I think you need a break down run on your truck before the big trip just tn be...
Correct. Yes I forgot about the different headlamps. My bad. I guess my point was the factory wiring needs an upgrade to carry better voltage thus giving better results from your current setup. Cheers Brian
We have a product which upgrades your wiring loom. Not cheap but certainly works well and I upgraded the wattage on my lights as well. Piranha offroad products sells the loom and I bought the 100/170 globes (expensive)from ARB. Still using oe headlights so same beam pattern. No one has...
Wire has come a long way since that time and with the introduction of spiral wire has improved spark performance. Sold after market wire over here for 15 years and the hardest ones to convince are the old school mechanics. Its like chalk and cheese. Do some research The brand I sold was...
Tarp on the front as a blind and wd40/lanolin over dizzy/leads. Glove if you think you won't make it. As stated create a bow wave and gently mosey across keeping the bow wave going. Blow dry on the other side if you can. Also depends on how deep/fast the water is? Have some fun...
I just watched a car race over here (Bathurst) and they were using those windscreen pull-aways. Seemed like a good idea if your doing some dirty wheeling? Probably similar product? You Americans have funny names for products!! PS Not starting war. cheers Brian
Sorry for the delay Linus to reply to your query. No I have an LS1 with LS2 intake manifold and a Starr 84 mm throttle body. It was done many years ago when things were still quite new to us out here. Of course the mandatory 3" zorst and tune gives it a nice easy 230 RWKS I would love the...
I want what George has got. On a more serious note I fitted an intake to my 5.7 ltr V8 which was on your Pontiac GTO's I think. The 4" round and smooth surface made a huge difference in throttle response. Placebo? I don't think so. Not in my 4x4 though. cheers Brian
I have no problems with customs doing their job as drugs are a gut wrenching sickness. However you can't just go around and destroy peoples property without taking some form of remedial action like notifying the owner/ordering new parts. I have not used my real name and I have one of those...
Hehehe. Bump. Always good to laugh at(with) someone else. Means they are not laughing at me.
I used to lump furniture part time to keep fit and earn a little on the side. The ties were all lined up along the inside of the truck so as to be readily accessible including a special tie to...
If they covered larger tyres they maybe a cheaper alternative to buying new rims with correct offset. Sunraysia rims cost $100 each approx. over here. I have 6 rim/tyres that need changing so I could save a little bit if they did the job. But I think they cover about the same area as Mr...
I put an 6 inch lift at the front to adjust the headlamps. Just kidding. I noticed mine were not adjusting too so will give that a go. Thanks for sharing. cheers
When I bought my first cruiser (3F 5 speed) I took it to the dealer for service etc. I got the "bill shock" as well and never returned to a dealer for servicing again. They get away with higher pricing because they have company vehicles coming in who just pay the bill. It is a hard lesson...
A classic in the making for sure. As already stated they made thousands of these so get a second one and put it in the shed. That way you have panels and those little parts you can't buy any more. I had a '91 GXL 3F manual for a few years then swapped for a '90 HDJ80 Sahara. Best move I...
