Your brumby will still be going strong long after their "REAL 4WDS" have broken down and cost them thousands to fix. truth is they are ignorant:o

yep youre on the money,
look up vsb14 on google all the terrifying info is there
engineering cost are going through the roof as well:sad:
soon u will need an engineers report for a different coloured wheel nut!:mad:

hey there, 1982 brumby just wondering what people have done with regards to the inner doorhandle trim (small rectangle trim behind handle held on with one screw) as mine are perished and everyone i look at seems the same will one fit from another model? just wondering what others have done? would so...

the only difference that i am aware of with the gen2 brumbys was that the early (i think 82-83) ones had a rail with tie down hooks on it and no stainless strips whereas the later ones only had the stainless strips there may be a slight height difference here. my experence with fitting these canopie...

don't be put off by a bent radius rod, i would much rather replace one of these than straighten the chasis underbody. carry a few spare ones i say!

yep dropping resistor for the injectors 100%

i believe crossbred performance have a spacer kit that goes between the inner tierod and the rack on each side to limit the steering travel alternatively you could fabricate some stoppers on the lower controll arm with a bolt that adjusts the travel. have a look at a datsun or nissan as they have th...

car looks great vvery clean and tidy mods, just a question i have been wondering about i live in nsw and we aren't allowed to modifiy any chasis rail so i had to use a twin cam motor not quad cam is this the case in qld or is it just a case of hope the engineer doesn't notice?

if your using an aftermarket electrical guage don't use too much thread tape as the guage usually earths through the block and the tape can sometimes stop this meaning guage no worky,

also check your wiper pivots as they seize up and the poor old motor has to fight just to move
just drown everything in rp7 or inox especially the shafts where the wiper arms bolt on
hope this is of some assistance

ok lift up the carpet on the passengers side floor up near the fire wall you will see a steel plate bolted on the floor, the computer is under this plate If you sit in the passengers side seat and stretch your legs straight till they hit the floor firewall section this is the location hope this help...

Yes you are totally correct however you must consider that a hydraulic lifter slowly bleeds off oil therefore when the pressure is higher ( using revs) it will hold the pressure a little longer before it bleeds out and hence not tick I guess if you let it idle for a long time it would evenyually sta...

i know this may be a little off the solid lifter article but i have cured many ea82 lifter rattling by simply shimming the oil pump pressure relief spring. what this does is give the motor a slightly higher oil pressure (especially at idle) which seems to stop the annoying ticking, I dont know if th...

i recently pulled down an ej25 dohc motor with 280000ks all the oil controll rings were stuck in the pistons and the motor was burning oil, the cause looks to be a build up of carbon depositing around the ring area holding the rings in and stopping them contacting the cylinder properly. I have seen ...

hmmm... makes you wonder if they cannot machine the part correctly then what is the rest of it like? like is the metal grade the correct hardness etc...

In the past a have worked on gearboxes such as the old holden aussie 4 speed where a clicking sound usually meant a chipped or broken gear (maybe only half a tooth) but the noise is very audible
just a guess but the only real way to know is a gearbox ortopsy........

i would imagine this would be a bolt in affair (no modifications) as both vehicles have a coil and usually the taco takes it's siginal from the negative side.

kind of makes you wonder at what point people will decide that motor vehicles are no longer affordable and decide to use other means of transport such as a horse or donkey, however i think it's gunna be harder to fit a lift kit and big wheels to either animal:mrgreen:

Hi my name is Sam and i am from the far north coast (Murwillumbah) NSW
I am currently doing up a brumby with an ej motor on gas hopefully it will be finished soon and i can post up some pics
cheers nice to meet you all.
:mrgreen:

My advise........ Buy your missus a STANDARD late model car, that way when something goes wrong she cannot blame you and you can blame the dodgey car manufacturer. Seriously though doing cars up takes lots of time and more money than you anticipate 5/7 k would pick up a nice forester or liberty whic...
