top stuff daniel... cant wait to see it with 4 inch lift on her!! gotta love luxes! they are called hilux for a reason... dont know why some idiots lower them :)

looks like the oldies were bf goodies all terain t/a's awesome tires aswell... not gonna get as many kms outta ur mickys compared to the goodriches

i take it u like to head off on the beaten track??

used to go camping up the flinders all the time with family i can appreciate a good forbie(4wd)

td or petrol?

:D

its petrol so got plenty of power thinkin of puttin the trd supercharging kit on it

nar leaving paint standard this time i like the white dosnt show up much an easy to look after

an i had plains for ages to put rims an tyres on it just not the cheapest car to mod as tyres alone are $310 an hav to buy 6 of them + new wheels to suit then have to make braket in the bak to hold the spares as the standard mountin spot is to small to fit 33z

the scarly thing so far is the suspension cost as much as a basic bult rb so far bloody expensive stuff

an this is been bult for serious 4wdin not just for looks

nice,,,,, ill post a pick of my 1985 toyota hilux sr5 with 33 inchmongrel mudiggers, 2.5inch truck pipes custom tray and fresh respray.its not done yet but it looks alright. i was thinking of putting a supra motor or v8 in mine.arghhh power.

cheers... michael

a bit of food for thought... i guy around the corner from my old place has a lime green lux... looked like a 2002 model crue cab.. jacked up off its face with mud terrains.. here is the golden part... he dropped a worked 1jz in it with a hefty high mount...... yummmm

nar go 4" suspension then i can go 35" in the future money not a prob i goin all out on the set up as im saving to do simpson next yr. gotta get sum 4wd hrs under my belt first.

i go out 4wdin so far about once every 2 weeks. only been on one trip from salt creek to beach port along the beach an sand dunes

great fun an alows u 2 just getta away from it all so easy just need a swap an bit of wood an off ya go for a weekend

any chance u can get sum piks of this hilux with the 1j in it

i would hav put the a lexus v8 in it first just coz of the touque it would b a much btr choice

Pfffft go a freaking 2JZ lads, cheap as half cuts theses days, and ahhhhhh done!! Plenty of Nm there!! Only advantage of the Toyota V8 would be the smoother power curve, ie NO boost!! depends on your application really!!

My mate has a NEW TRD Hilux on order at GC Toyota, top of the range dual cab leather and all!! Is going to be a nice as tow car, much better than the BA XR8 ute!!

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
