those blokes on ebay are useless, everytime i email after a part (which has been alot) they never have anything i am after.
Thanks for the heads up, i was thinking about purchasing some gear from that mob too.
I aslo have a gripe for cheap crap, i bought a turbo and manifold off ebay for my TD42, while i was expecting...
sorry i can't help but am also wondering about the quality of their gear. I am looking to get a roof rack next week.
I have to agree with AB and the others singing the same tune. TV is sh$t these days. Bring back "the goodies" and "benny hill" and "the late show d-generation". I am giving my tv away so i can park...
i love staying in Ebriated when i am not working, next time i am there we will have to catch up.
how much does barbed wire cost, i have about 4km of fence to build.

To blast a tray at home would be a nightmare. I used to work next to a blast yard and they regularly did jobs like that for beer. I would definately go to a big blast yard and ask how many...
Damn i wish i could come, sounds like a great trip. Keen to see the pics.
i haven't heard of any but i am sure there would be a proper 4x4 club somewhere. Check the magazines as they usually have adds for the club events. I know the 4x4 comp that was up at mareeba was run...
i am in need of a complete new exhaust, i might get one sooner rather than later.
yeah i'm with ya, i have it adjusted up so i am thinking i need more fuel for more boost.
Is that for an external waste gate? i just have a cheap chinese turbo off ebay with the internal type setup. I wish i was at home to have a play with it but i won't be back for another month.
Well...
I have the same turbo as you 97_gq_lwb and the only way i could see to adjust the gate as on the external thread. Is there a spring or something inside? I am not too familiar with turbos hence doing...
yeah i think its a bit lean too, maye the injetors and pump are a bit tired. EGT is post turbo, i welded the fitting ringht into the dump pipe pretty close to the turbo. I have been told buy a diesel...
Nah i just put the turbo on myself and wound the fuel in till i got up to 8 psi boost. I installed and EGT guage and boost gauge but i don't have a tacho so i dunno what its really doing. It doesn't...
I put a turbo on my TD42 at 412 000k's. I am running 8psi boost and the fuel has been wound in 3/4 of a turn. It seems to run pretty good and i am not boostin all hell out of it so would it be worth...
yeah get it done, alluminium heads are nasty things, do it once and do it right, don't gorget to re tension the head bolts after a few k's once she is back on the road.
I have picked up some factory sway bars, i think i will fit both front and rear with disconnects. Does anyone sell the 4" extended links with in built disconnects of do you have to get them separate.
i bought my gq with ally checker plate trims, really don't like them though. They look really tacky so i am going to fit some original ones. My trims are screwed on, i suume new holes were made,...
i bought a gq for 7 with 410 000 with lots of goodies. Seems to be great so far and pretty much the first thing i did was a turbo install. Time will tell about its reliability but so far its great.
Yep i am in, what number are we up to?
Sounds like a good truck, you will always get a few issues with a car of age but the things you described are pretty minor. Like a few people have said, just do some research on here before jumping...
Mt dissapointment doesn't sound like much fun.
Maybe the bloke who named it was in a yota.
I have an 89 wagon witha few mods and it drives very different from the gq ute and other gq wagon i had. depends how you want it to drive. They are gettin old and most have done well over 300 000k's...
