Well guys it is that time of the year SOOOOOO I thought I would tell u what works and what doesnt.... Now before I start I will explain my experiance I am a professional driver (bus) I have been driving on Mt Ruapehu Professionally for 20 years I drive bascially an AWD turbo Diesel Hiace Minibus... Ok things that Work try and keep off boost rapid horse power changes are bad and will incite loss of traction keep off brakes as much as possible(use gears and yes even in an auto the van i drive is an auto and i barely touch the brakes coming down)... take things very very slowly,depress brake/throttle slowly dont stomp on it... If u lose traction release wot ever u have depressed and try and gain traction back KEEP SPEED DOWN the snow is not going anywhere If u make a boo aim for the snow bank usually a wee bit safer than on coming traffic... Things that dont work drifting round corners,racing,passing unless u know exactly wots going on because 9 times outta 10 u are going from the traction side to the no traction side Pissing me off(never a good thing ) :) any tire and rim combo wide than 205 really(especailly 20's and they dont have chains to fit either) nor to lowered hard suspensions... AND REMEMBER JUST BECAUSE EVERY ONE IS HEADING UP DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO ONE HEADING DOWN usually me And if all else fails call me and I will get u up and down safely

yup been done google is your friend

your welcome glad I could help

Ok guys and gals Some I know will/cant be answered a question was asked about the RA in RSRA so lets start with BRAT=Bi-drive Recreational All Terrain RX= Rally Xross ?? RS= Rally Sport GT=Grand Touring RA= RAlly A?? SVX= ?? B=Bilstein B4=Bilstein 4 or maybe Boxer 4 RSK=Rally Sport Kompressor WRX = World Rally Xross 22b= 2.2 litre b=bilstein ???

Or it could just be a young fellow who doesnt know,and has asked questions that he could solved by searching,but sometimes questions just need to be asked and are we really trying to scare people off by taking the piss out of them straight away at least wait a few weeks

yup still would suspect the terminals and where in the manawatu is u based

good old NZ police force(this is a very old pic) and not sure if it was this one or one of the others they had round here but they rolled it not once but twice

replace the negative(and positive ) terminal/s with some heavy duty ones.... it will be a bad connection and I would guess that the negative one will be split/corroded so that it will no longer tighten enuff.... Factory terminals on most vehicles are not worth crap :) I personally prefer and use PROJECTA terminals that are available from your nearest repco

Yes the 22B is a 2.2 quad cam have a go wots the worst that could happen so u blow a motor wont know till u try

DDRRRRRROOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL damn that wot i would like for my next "new" skool ride mmmmmmmm

the fj/hj 40's are a lovely old beasty you could also go a wee bit moderner nad try the 73 series as they are easier to get parts for and are basically an updated 45 (same chassis pretty much)

cheap insurance though as it is only a 1500cc FWD retina :)

buy a landcruiser

Had a Legacy GT (now CATSOUP is fiting it with a eg33) now have a Omega RX and a Brumby me going backwards mmmmm gen 1 RX oh if only

yup totally full of awesome knowledge

kings to a raised spring ?? maybe run a dual spring set up (inner and outer) or maybe a progressive set up

wot happened to ryan did he ever come on to the new forum

airbags no serious use them like helper springs not sure if u can get them to fit this though

also make sure it is of a rs/gt as the non turbo ones dont have enuff space for the intercooler heatexchanger

to be truthful the central North Island is where I reside as I am bascially half way between Auckland and Wellington and half way between the naki and the bay..... as far as I can tell this thread is for all areas between hamilton in the north and palmy/wangas in the south and from the naki to the bay I am almost smack bang in the middle

was thinking the along the same lines as Ichi thats why i asked about AC they seem to be working fine to me may not be getting hot enuff

to go a little bit of topic HOPAI are parts still easy to get for the Brumby I may need to get some in the coming months

sorry man was meaning rocker cover gaskets

yup my guess would be rocker cover gaskets did u fit new genuine gaskets and cover bolt gaskets when reinstalling them

DREMEL FTW
