The ***ALL NEW*** AUSubaru.com.au Forums

Yes I'm sure there is plenty of information on the forum, but that doesn't tell me specific to Tasmania being state based laws as well as the ADR. I am planning to do it myself hence why I would like to talk with an engineer or someone who has done the mods before and got them certified in Tasmania ...

Anyone know if we can get the following mods certified/engineered on a brumby... 5 Stud Brake Kit Chassis Rail Mods for DOHC EJ22 or EJ25 EJ AWD Gearbox And obviously all the little bits associated with these mods. Or if anyone can point me in the way of a friendly engineer who wont just tell me to ...

If the DOHC engine was mounted without spacing it down an inch would you still need to mod the chassis rails? what about the gearbox does the inch spacing help it fit aswell?
Surely we could find another way to get the bonnet clearance, low profile intake manifold or modified bonnet.

I did it by taking the steering wheel off but found it was a pain to get it quite right so I undid the nut, then drove the car slow pulled the wheel off and put it back on so much easier, altho probabily a little dangerous

Yeah I do tend to drive a tad fast offroad, I just love the corrigated dirt tracks massaging my back, now I just need to make the car survive them a little easier

Hey all, Thinking about the dual shock mod, Is there any reason why the second shock is mounted behind the coilover? as I'm thinking on my brumby when I do the L series control arm mod the struts will be angled forward at the bottom so wouldn't it be more benificial to mount it in front of the coilo...

Alright peoples a small update, no real mods done yet, im a bit lazy, the only mod ive done is a coke bottle mod to stop the water and oil going into the carby because of the blown head gasket, more pics of the brumby on a 4wd trip in the link below. http://ausubaru.com.au/showthread.php?t=9655 mana...

40 or 45 series landcruiser shocks should fit the MY series rear you will need to cut the pin and eye out out of your origional shocks, and press them into the landcruiser shock bushes, I just got whatever heavy duty ones repco had instock, unfortunatily they are only like 1" longer than the stock s...

Does the 4WD selector cable need adjustment? There is a 4WD selector cable... I kinda figured there must be somthing, to make the 4WD selector work, I will have to discover this cable and tinker with it. Ohh I just remembered another thing which annoys me, damn wheels rubbing on metal, so i will ge...

Alright guys and girls, its been a long time since I've actully posted anything in here so here are a few pictures of the brumby bogged out at henty dunes, will get photos of my mods and stuff hopefully tonight if I remember. http://www.users.on.net/~prunes/brumby/bogged1.jpg http://www.users.on.net...

I have been told that it works, the easiest way to test is to pull it and try, surely it wouldnt stop the breaks from working at all that would be a massive safety issue, just have the hand break ready just incase :P

So the FJ40/FJ45 shocks have the pin top and eye bottom just like the brumby, or do I need to salvage the pin out of the standard shocks?
Oh and should I go heavy duty or just stick with the basic monroe ones?
Thanks

I've just got myself a couple of Hilux shocks with an eye at each end, I'm going to attempt to take the inners out of the eyes in the original shock and put them into the Hilux ones, I'm going to have to get some different rubber gromits because the ones which came with the shocks has too big centre...

I payed $180 for the tyres, way too expensive, but I decided the brumby deserved them as a 24th birthday present.

I've been looking for rear drive shaft assemblies for the MY but I can only find front ones, can I use front ones in the rear or use a L series drive shaft with MY inners and outers... I have no idea and cant find any info on it, please someone enlighten me.

Thanks in advance

If you look at that post that has the pictures, I've changed plans a bit, I'm no longer going 5 stud, I'm staying 4 stud, so I have 14" Rims with 27x8.5 Kumho 834 Tyres.

I'll be there since its such a massive 3 minute walk from my house. Ohhh, I should take this oppertunity to see if anyone has any parts for my brumby I can get off them, I need everything for an ej22 conversion, passenger side front indicator cover (single headlight), drivers side windscreen wiper n...
