Can anyone give me a quick answer on whick year/month the 100 series changed from live axle to IFS....
I am thinking of salary packaging a second hand one but wanted to stay with the live axle....

Thanks guys,
I have a 80series with denco turbo kit on a 1HZ and its pretty good, but not much chop compared to the 1HDFTE (i think thats right) newer turbo diesels in the 100's, and ive heard of a few reliability problems with turbo'd 1HZ engines (cracking heads etc).
Wonder how hard it would be to transplant a new turbo diesel engine into the factory 1HZ'd engine bay so you get the live axle with factory turbo diesel? Maybe it would be cheaper to convert the IFS to live axle, if thats even possible?
I'm just p1ssen in the wind by the sounds of it....better go.
Cheers
NUTS!

The factory turbo diesel out of a IFS will not fit into a live axle 100, from what I have heard.

I believe the 1HDFTE out of the 100 series (IFS) will fit into the 105 series (live front axle), however the V8 petrol from the 100 series will not fit into the 105 series.

The TD and V8's were all IFS. The years and months of the different models can be found in www.redbook.com.au.
I think all the 4.5 litre petrol and 1Hz models were RFA, so the GXL with the 1Hz is the only new one with rigid front.
But the 1Hz are a bit gutless, and if you turbo them, as
well as engine issues, the R151F gearbox may not be up to the extra power.
Only model with the 1HD-FTE motor and live axle is the TD Troopie and traytop.
Cheers
Phil
