martin leech your own players! he's mine!

So i took the brumby to work today, checked it over on the hoist. Looks like im making a new exhaust sytem for natalie! also replacing tie rods and rod ends, and bushes, and seals, and trying to fix the stupid amount of movement in the shifter.

What is a brumby rated at carrying ? It's not a 1 ton is it ?

Slop in the shifter is from 2 things. THe split pin through the shifter into the linkage wears, as does the bottom bush that sits in the gearbox housing that the shifter sits in.

yer scott i can flex that roll pin that goes onto the selector shaft, i was goin to replace that, can you still get them genuine? haha can still get front shocks for them, $150 a corner, everywhere else is wanting about $550 a pair trade cost. As for the exhaust i'll make one up during the week and fit it up when i get back. Really could do with a tune up, also replacing the filters and fluids.

Whats a good gearbox oil to use?

You should be able to get a roll pin new still. NOS or something.

Any hypoid type gearoil is what's in order with those boxes. Depends on how fast you want to shift I guess....

Yes! that is awesome port! I need to get me more of that.

Cheers for the advice, i'll just roll with some of the 75W-90 Penrite i got here, doubt the oil has been done in a long time, probably low with the amount of oil everywhere around it

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
