Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i put an 89 75 series cab onto 92 80 series running gear.
its gunna be all engineered and registered once i finish building it.
had to make custom body mounts and stuff though.
depends if your talking same model to same model or something like i have done

make sure you hook up the vss also otherwise it will chew a shitload of juice.
brothers ls1 75 series gets about 400-450km from a tank on 37's without the vss, its halfway through its rebuild to clear defect and get engineered and is getting a vss so should be a loit better after that

no worries mate.
if ya need any info about it shoot him a message he'll be able to help ya out

my brother has done this a couple times, not sure what his username is but his thread is called HJ75 MACH II or sumthin like that.
coils are definantly the go

after seeing several ls1 powered 4wd's (75 series cruiser, gq patrol, my 75/80 cruiser) i'd take an ls1 over a diesel any day of the week, if you like having decent power under your boot

hans't been done yet but my brother got a set of bundera doors to get all the mechanisms out of, think he picked up the pair of doors for $50.
fairly sure he's just gunna cut the frames off the top and change them to 75 series 1's and use them on his 75 series

yeh pretty much what killa said, and make sure your box is strong enough to handle the extra grunt

i reckon it'd still be too small.
and apparently 1fz's can take 8psi comfortably without the need for an aftermarket ecu

to small, by heaps.
something like a gt35/40 would be what your after

a 5L would go well.
mate has 1 in a patrol on straight gas, 286 cam, stocko high km 308 bottom end and it flys.
so i'd imagine in a bit lighter cruiser it'd go alright

yeh i have a local guy i'm gunna try, he wired a t56 6 speed into one of my old vn ss's back in the day when i was a cool kid who liked street cars.lol.
i'll get the ute goin and go see him before i go to marks

after having a quick look around i like the look of the fzj79 airbox.
anybody know anyone that would have 1 of them around?
i could easily change the top outlet to 4 inch and to point forwards more to suit ls1 intake.
heres a proper pic for any1 else looking.

don't think i'll stress to much about the cruise control but definantly going with the vss

flexy coils should give a nice soft ride, not sure about sagging with steel bar or anything.
i'll be using flexy coils but my ute probly weighs a lot less than yours so i need them just to be half normal

talked to indepentdant motorsports and they said they wouldnt reccomend removing the vss for a street car as it does effect the fuel economy, so i guess thats it, guna be running a vss

what does your hilux weigh?
what size tyres?
and how many litres you getting to 100km's?

i think i might get onto them and see what they have to say

hmm nah i wanna do it all properly.
the amount of cash i've put into it already theres no point half assing shit this close to the end

hmm well that makes me look dumb.
must have measured it when i had the stupidly high lift in it, makes the distance no worries now and should cope with the 3" lift i wanna do

does that effect fuel economy at all?
i'd been told to run 1 to get the best fuel economy possible.
my cruiser is guna end up being my daily and do a few long trips so don't want it to guzzle too much.
my brothers ls1 75 series gets about 350km to a tank and a mates ls1 gq gets about 22-26L/100km or ...

yours looks alright cranky, not sure how a 75 one would go with 4 inch in and out, and i don't have 1 to start with because my cabin didnt come with 1 when i bought it.
yours looks good zoltan, spose i should decide what filter i want to run 1st.
i've got a mate at the sheetmetal place i used to ...

that doesnt look to bad mate, got any pics of the inside how the filter sits etc?
1 i found on ebay the guy says seals up fine and has a decent sized pod in it, would just need to weld a few brackets onto it to fit it up.

Just wondering if anybody has any pictures of custom airbox's they have made for the drivers side of a 75 series bay, or if anyone could make me a decent one.
I'm lookin for somethin 4" in and 4" out that will hold a very well flowing filter.
Am running an ls1 engine so will need plenty of air

i think in the 79 series they may have an electronic dash signal....not 100% sure.
i think marks do 1 at around the $300 range but that dakota 1 is about 40 or 50 bucks so a touch cheaper.

I'm chasin info if anyone knows what i could do for a vss for my ls1 cruiser.
its got a 75 cab and 80 series running gear.
the 75 speedo cable screws into the 80 series box fine but doesnt have the vss thing on it like an 80 series one.
But the 80 series 1 is electric and won't suit the 75 series ...

thanks for the help guys.
have emailed them, hopefully hear back soon as the handbrake cable is holding me up a bit, don't want to put the fuel tank in until handbrake is sorted

yeh had thought of doing something like that.
have to also extend the outside housing of the cable though.
could possibly do that with some aluminium tubing.
the end of the cable has a threaded on it so should be able to get something made to suit, but was hoping to get it modified professionally.

Just wondering if anybody knows somewhere that can extend an 80 series handbrake at the end where it attatches to the body.
i've got a 75 cab on an 80 chassis and the handbrake cable is one of my last big head aches i'm trying to sort out.
It needs to be about 6" longer to reach the handbrake ...

yeh thought about selling it and getting 1 made.
its a big radiator so 60mm or 70mm off it shouldnt hurt it, its cooling an ls1, and i'll have a nice big davies craig thermo and shroud on it.
its just a matter of if someone can do it properly so it won't burst or leak in the middle of nowhere

Just a quick question.
i've got an 80 series with a 75 series cabin on it and bought a radiator for a 75 series only to find the 80 series chassis has a crossmember under the radiator.
i need to have the core of my radiator cut down about 70mm off the bottom and have the bottom tank put back on then ...

just a very quick question.

do the petrol 80 series gearbox's have the same input shaft (length and splines) as a diesel 80 series??

the reason i ask is because 1: i bought a conversion adaptor to suit a diesel bellhousing and i have a petrol gear gearbox so was planning on getting a diesel ...
