Thanks Dozer, wanted to know if 3" would make a big differance on the cruiser

What's your new addition, Andrew? Sounds like a 79 series turbo?

Recently bought the 79 series turbo I've been driving for work over the past 3.5 yrs. Just had a new cutch, and new king-pins prior to purchase. Very happy with $23K price!!! and only 138K clicks.

Been thinking of one of BE's systems for the ute, the one on our 80 works okay.

Cheeerio...

bit of a update for you Andrew ,

Backfire the 100 on Gas and blower seased. Goind to pull it apart on the weekend to see what happened .

Gday
Not quite a hdfte79....i have updated to a 1995 hdft auto vx Sahara :) which was what i have always wanted...airbag, ABS and climate control....oh did i mention good economy....it uses 10l/100 kms less than the turbo 4.5.
Rock Crawler...do u have gas on a supercharged 4.5??? Gas is so fiddly....thats why i have never used it....tune changes like it used to with the old SU's on a Datto.
I would say with my xray vision, that you have bent the rotors....keep an eye out on ebay...u will find a preloved one chweaper than to fix yours....and make sure you incorperate a pop off valve in the inlet before you try again...
Andrew

Thanks Vincent
We have had 14 years trouble free with our gq swb. now ready to replace with a new cab chassis and slide on camper (nissan or Toyota ) No heav duty 4WD ing or towing planed.
With cost of fuel now, economy is big consideration.

what area are you in steve ? I may have to go further afield for a better deal on a 79

I'm in Adelaide. We had been to a few dealers and finally found one who was ready to negotiate. We managed to find a dealer (Main North Road) who had one in their yard that they wanted to move. We didn't care and it was only 3 months from manufacture date. The fact it was in the yard took off $3,000. It took a while (hours) but we got the price down and included 6 split rims with tyres on top (the wife is a mean negotiator! I managed to get a bit more off the price after). It isn't a bad ploy to have two bits at the cherry. They always hang onto a bit extra if they can. We then went to Nissan and by the time you allowed for snorkels (the patrol does not have one std) and the split rims etc they were ~ $1,000 apart. I guess the ToYo dealer wanted a sale and the Nissan dealer didn't. I didn't really care which one we got, Nissan or Toyo, but liked the Toyo a bit better when we drove it.

Thanks for your intrest steve, I will give our local dealers another go just before the end of the month.
