i want my ute to go like a jet.....

use it as a parts car and save up for a GTR

195 50 14/15/16 are all pretty bloody cheap. Look at the new BF Goodrich range of sport T/A as well, good value for money if handling well is your thing. Otherwise, dunlop has a special atm, buy 3 tyres and get the 4th free. Go see your nearest beaurepaires for tyres dealer

so you want to drift a brumby. Best shocks you say? Convert the arse end to wrx and get rid of the torsion bar setup, run 5 stud everything and brakes and get a set of liberty HKS Hyper D coilovers, 700lb springrates.

After you have robbed the bank to do this, we will talk about the front......

look down the feed line for the washer nozzle, there will be a small fitting in the hose that looks like a joiner. pull it out, unblock it and put it back in the same way u pulled it out. its a drainback valve and they regularly get scummed up.

look at the fundamentals.

O2 sensors, blocked cat converter, fuel pressure reg, AFM, WIRING HARNESS!!(they go brittle and crack over the years and cause earthing issues), Spark Plugs, Coils, Heads, CAS's, Knock sensors and then you start to get into the ''Hard'' side of it.

Good luck

if you are looking for an alternative, ring Jim Berry at Race Clutch. he will sort you out with a pro clutch that will do EXACTLY what you want, and he is THE ducks nuts when it comes to clutches. He made me a 4700lb clamp on a holden gemini diesel disc, it had as much clamp as a button clutch and w...

Buy a GT-R. id say i spent an easy 30k on motors alone and it still cant hold a candle to a GTR.

If its the EA you must have, then if its an 81, get ahold of kelford cams, chat to them about a cam and go get a webber carb. If its an 82, throw it in the bin and ref. step 1

i currently own and run a few ''performance'' cars and i wouldnt put royal purple in my moped that said, i recomend for a forrester turbo, a 10/40 mineral with that many k's on the clock. something like gtx3 or fuchs 10/40. I personally used mobil 1 super syn in my GTR's and my RX leone(740hp gtr an...

6 turbochargers, 12 cylinders, 31lt's of displacement. 2400hp, 5100torques. Good ol cummins donk. ps. Dont run it outta juice, id hate to bleeding those fuel pumps, thats for sure

the squeal is a combination of a few things. one of these things is that you are driving an AWD car with a tall tyre and a reasonable amount of body roll around a tight bend at speed. Can you see where this is going? It was recomended to you that you look for a more street orientated tyre for your d...

Without dabbling too much into the technical side of things, i can shed some light on the REAL LIFE experiences ive had with larger than you would think turbo's and 82t's. The single biggest upgrade you can do if you are looking for supporting mods to make it all work better and in harmony, is an af...

Sooo. i found the limitations on an 82-T. After yet another engine rebuild and tune with new bits i have broken it again, and am nearing divorce at a great rate of knots. EA82-T+Highflowed VF24+forgies+Rods+prepped crank, o'ringed block+big squirters and pump and massive duration cams=Fun. Buuut, al...

Sooo, i have my moneypit, and the missus has hers, all 40 pairs of them.....Now she wants an L as well, and im giving up on the 82-T, ive reached the power output cieling of one, im gonna go ej20 next. So, as the story goes... I purchased one L series touring wagon, with all the fruit, including fre...

well, umm. First car was an 84 glf-5 leone, usual mods, header, zorst weber cam quick head job, then i moved to a datsun 1600, sr20det converted, T04e, cams headwork forgies, computer ect ect, then i went to a r32 gtr, upgraded turbo's, exhaust, computer ran a neat 12, now im in an r33 gtr v-spec nu...

If you are the kind of guy who doesnt mind spending the time doing fuel and ignition conversions then i couldnt recomend a Vi-pec more, i have one in my gtr. Ray hall is a fkn genius and put simply, he will bend over backwards to help you out, like free firmware and software upgrades for life. As fo...

How old is the engine!! if its greater than 140k then throw a set of rings in it, its common for a subaru to do heads, then you do the heads up to find the bottom end is not too far off shagged 6 mths down the track. Its pretty cheap for bearings, rigs and gaskets if your handy with a spanner, from ...

DONT get the new grandtreks, they wear like a mutherf*#r. We have sooo many people come back about them. If you do majority onroad and the very rare (ie. solar eclipse lets go offroad) driving id just stick with a road tyre. we have an o7 3.0R outback and i found the dunlop 300 something or others t...

I ise hilux bump stops at the drags. requires a 10mm hole to be drilled in the lower arm and a small piece of box section applied to the body of the car(bolt or mig glue lol) bit extreme for your application though lol

Subydazz, how big is your wallet. If you want to have fun with suspension components sit down before they tell you the price. As for adjustment, how far out is it and get a second opinion as wheel alignment machines vary GREATLY depending on calibration and the general treatment of the machine itsel...

If its going into an rx, go get yourself a decent fuel pump, swirl pot and rewire the fuel pump circuit. Use a wrx gearbox and diffs, custom one piece tail-shaft. Use an aftermarket computer (Vi-Pec comes to mind) run a cooler with GOOD PIPING!! from there the rest depends on weather you are offroad...
