In that order ? You might need the wheels before the tyres ;D Looks like you have it all worked out, personally id want a new engine. But then you wouldnt be 'The slowestlux !!' anymore.

[Rollsy]

nah not in that order ;D
Yeah one day i would like to put in another motor but i want to get it looking good first. The old 3y will do for a while!! :P

[taziiy]

u might want sum headlights first ;)



yeah well they will also come in handy!!! ;D
Ill get them this weekend!!



well you only need them of a night time but then he could just hook up some spotties hey ned

but it looks like a good start for a good project

[crack]

looks like ya gonna have fun with that thing! gotta love the blue interior haha

[Rollsy]

yeah thats the main reason i got it cause the blue interior!! ::) ;D
I got some headlights last night and put them in.. now all i need is indecators
but im working on gettting the motor running right first!!

[Rollsy]

managed to get a set of old split rims that have had a couple more inches welded in them to make them wider!! they look pretty shit but at least ive got a decent set of tryes on there!! i think they were 275/16 but i cant remember. They are only old bald as all terrains but but they will do till i can afford some Baja claws or simialiar!!! Pics soon!

[brokelux]

yeah well this is my plan..
Bonnet scoop (off nissan GU patrol) Purely for looks!!!


go wrx like this but i wouldn't do it unless its for a purpose makes u look like a n&*b
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/Brokelux/scoop.jpg

[Rollsy]

yeah it was just an idea but i probably wont worry about one at all. Ill just have to see what happens!! :P

[Rollsy]

well thought its about time i updated this with what i have done!!

i have now got it running nice and smooth.
I ended having to get a brand new radiator, new steering dampener, fan belt, front uni, new centre bearing, new windscreen, new indecators, and i have orded in new guards which i will pick up on monday.
also got the bullbar off me uncle. minus the winch!! :(
i also need new doors but they are way to dear new so if anyone in tas has some in good conditon pm me or write back to my thread in the wanted section.

I think thats about it so far.
Iam hoping to get it rego'd over christmas.
Things still to do.
new Brakes all round, fix handbrake, new tryes and probably a bit more but not sure yet.

Seeya's
Rollsy ;D

[-BJ-]

Keep up the good work ;)

What tyres are ya gonna get ?

[Rollsy]

well i really reallly really really really really really really really really really really really really really would LOVE a set of baja claws but unless i can get an old set of half worn out ones theres no way i can afford them!! :'(
So probably just a second hand set of mud terrains until i can afford some baja claws..

[Rollsy]

thought i might update ya's with a few pics!!
done heaps since last time but ya cant really tell all the stuff ive done!!

Thats a fair bit :o getting there then, good luck....hope it passes

[brokelux]

register that

good luck

;D

[dieselux]

Mate, I reckon GOOD ON YA!!!!
We all had to start off with something and if your like me, I had to build my first car from every cent that I earnt!!!
Although it was a '76 Torana, I bought it from the wreckers!!!!
I did it up from there, working my arse off to have my pride and joy, engines, gearboxes, diffs (2) ;D stereos, etc.
Yes it may not look like the best truck now, but keep at it and don't get discouraged. You will soon have a truck that
may turn heads and get respect. The best thing about it is that you will learn a shitload about the truck and the work that goes
into fixing/modifying it. The best thing, is that people will ask, "wow, who built this???" and you can proudly say ME 8)

Keep up the good work,
dieselux

[Rollsy]

yeah thats exactly wat i reckon!!
well i got it regestered today!! i also fitted brand new 32x11.5 mud terrains (silverstones. all i could afford!!)
and new sunraysers!! its made it into a different vehicle!! will get photo's soon!!
cheers

[sumkindaroadkill]

Excellent news my man ;)

Keep up the good work bud and heres hoping you get them baja claws of old santy for christmas.

[muddy]

Top work dude! Who cares if it aint got shiny paint? Probably have more fun in that than you would in a brand newie that you would fuss over! Build it, go enjoy it and F*** anyone else! 8)

[brokelux]

[luxor]

Congrats on getting it registered, can't wait to see the pics with the sunnies on. Then you should repaint it with house paint a la OTIS and MILO, chances are it will only get scratched again.

[Rollsy]

[Rollsy]

hi all,
I have now decided that after ive only had the lux on the road for 2 months im going to take it back off again!! its going to live in the garage for the next few months! the main reason is because I am going to fit a 1g-gte in it!! So if anyone has any info or anything about these motors or fitting these motors that would be great!!
cheers
derek

p.s
Anyone know roughly what a heavy duty clutch costs?

[crankycruiser]

Lopokin good rollsy.. u have certainly put a bit of work into her :D

A decent H/D clutch could be anywhere from 300ish to 700.. depending on who ya git it off ;D

[Rollsy]

thanks cranky!!
yeah i have done a bit!!
But the funs only just starting!! :P

[-BJ-]

Pardon my ignorance but whats a 1g-gte out of ?

[Rollsy]

its a 2L twin turbo.. out of a toyota supra..

[brokelux]

who in there right mind would want to put a turbo supra donk in their hliux
geeze some people

[Rollsy]

[bundylux]

cheers
derek

[Rollsy]

Well guys!!
my motor is HERE!! i picked it up this afternoon!!
so tommorrow i start with pulling out my old motor..
it came with a clutch, bellhousing (which bolts up!! because ive checked it with another g52 gearbox housing) and un-cut wiring harness!! (which im stoked about!!)
well thats is for now.. but ill have pics in the next couple of days!!
cheers

[Dualux]

Hey m8 i was wondering haw much did you pay 4 the motor if you dont mind me asking and where did you get it from cause i have been wanting to pull the 2.8 outta my lux and put in somethin differant. Is it the same engine as the one brokelux has in his. Anyway keep up the good work cant wait to see the final product...

Dualux

[Rollsy]

its a 1ggte. $1000 from sss automotive. Its different to brokelux's he has the 7mgte which is a 3Litre. mine is only 2Litre. the 7mgte are about 1500ish..

[-BJ-]

Good work mate, have fun putting it in.

[Dualux]

Ok sounds cool. The 2litre would still have a ship load a go tho wouldnt it. And does it fit in ok or do you have start cutting and shutting stuff. I was told that a 4AGZE is a good motor to chuck into a lux. Have you heard this aswell? what other motors would you recomend. Where in tassie do you live? Im from Latrobe ( BLOODY HOLE OF A PLACE )...

[Rollsy]

pm sent duallux,
no there shouldnt need to be any cutting or shutting.. hopefully even the engine mounts wont be to hard.

I got started on pulling my old 3y out today. It was alot easier than i thought it would be. Its ready to come out now but ive got to get an engine crane (which im borrowing off a mate). so next weekend should only take about half hour and it will be out!! ;D
fingers crossed the new motor goes in as easy as the old one came out!! ::) :-X
p.s will have pictures tommorow!!

[brokelux]

good too hear your finally making some progress rollsy hope it all goes well for ya

[wiseman]

sweet mate im glad you didn't go & rush to hav it done by today. Hope all goes well for you with the conversion

[brokelux]

no holden shirt that i can see in that pic :-[

[boof]

That motors looking good in there
Well done

[azzad]

Keep up the good work, Ive often thought about a hilux as an affordable toy, if only I had the money and the space to do it.

[muddy]

I was told that a 4AGZE is a good motor to chuck into a lux. Have you heard this aswell? what other motors would you recomend. Where in tassie do you live? Im from Latrobe ( BLOODY HOLE OF A PLACE )...


The 4AGZE is a 1.6 petrol. Probably a bit small for a 4by lux!

[Rollsy]

well guys ive FINALLY got something actually done!! ;D
got me mounts made up and also got me intercooler.. now just gotta stick me motor in and sort out me piping for intercooler and radiator.. should hopefully get that done in the next few weeks.. but with my track history of getting stuff done.. that is probably unlikely!! :-[

here is a pic of one of the mounts!!

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/100_0101.jpg

and here is roughly where me intercooler will sit.. sorri it a bit dark!!

cheers
rollsy

[brokelux]

well i'll be buggered u actually got somethin done

rollsy


Wow, that is a lot of 'me's' in the one sentence!! :-X

[Rollsy]

well thought i better do another update.. even though i havent done bugger all!! i think this has probably got to be the slowest ever engine conversion!! lol
i bought a new 3 row radiator and there was no way i could mount my intercooler where i first had planned and fit a thermo fan on!! so ive ended up mounting it in the bull bar!! yes i know it in the most vunrable place of all but there wasnt really many other options!! so ill just have to cover it up when in the hard core stuff!!

here's a pic anyway..
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/100_0135.jpg

[boof]

I think this has probably got to be the slowest ever engine conversion!! lol



Have you seen mine :-X :-X :'( LOL

[Rollsy]

well guys!! here it is!! the SEXIEST HILUX AROUND!!
these pictures really do it no justice at all! it looks awesome with sun shinning on it!
the colour is phantom purple (same purple as on the ford xr6)

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a382/rollsyrolls/100_4292.jpg

just a bit of a improvement!! lol

[crankycruiser]

Veeeery sexual mate!! :D

planning on takin it down any narrow scratchy tracks?? :-\

[Twisty]

It's come a long way!! Looking great Rollsy! 8)

[brentz]

have u had it goin yet?
how much did it cost all up to do the motor?
and does that involve new engine mounts?

[Gojeep]

Nice color choice. :)

[brokelux]

looks awsome mate
;D

[ChunkyCharcoal]

Love it! ;D

[Synergy]

hey, how much did you pay for that paint job? if ya dont mind telling me...

[Rollsy]

thanks for all the comments guys! ;D
well the spray job cost me my dirt bike (a 92 yz250) which was worth about 2000 if i was lucky.. and i had to buy the paint which was 500 and 300 for the use of an oven.. and 280 for new doors.. but it was a mate that done it.. me mate said it would have cost around $10,000 to have got it done through someone else!! :o so im pretty happy!!
cheers
rollsy

[Rollsy]

have u had it goin yet?
how much did it cost all up to do the motor?
and does that involve new engine mounts?


Hi mate,
nah i havent had it going yet.. ive had the motor bolted in but intercooler piping, fuel lines, radiator piping, wiring all need doing.
well the motor cost me 1000 (including bellhousing) and with radiator, piping etc etc im hoping all up i should do it for under 3000. i had to make the engine mounts but that was easy. I just made up a decent template and then took them to a mate who welded them up properly.

[Rollsy]

Veeeery sexual mate!! :D

planning on takin it down any narrow scratchy tracks?? :-\


hey,
nah probably no narrow tracks for at least the first couple of weeks! ;D just so i can show it off a bit!! lol 8)

[Terry]

Looks great man, but your'e mate is pulling your weiner saying it would be worth $10,000 ;D

Whats with the yamaha on the engine cover?

[Rollsy]

yea he prolly exagerated a bit when he said 10000.. lol.. but when my old man rang up a spray painting place to get his sprayed they said for a full respray, panel beating, etc in would be at least 8000.. :o

[Synergy]

i want to get mine resprayed fluro orange at one stage.

Im selling my kx dirtbike at the moment 2, hopefully ill get $3000 for it.

we'll see...

the ford colour is nice as

[SIKPUPY]

Not sure how far you have gotten

I have 1ggze in my 4runner. running 33's with 4.875 diff ratio. Its just about undriveable under boost. :D

Good luck with it and keep up the good work

www.sikpupy.net

[ravofireman]

She is cumming a treat there old boy,,, It be good to she her all finished and you out on the track wid her,,

Love the colour,,,,

[4bdan]

Looks very shmick. Hope your gonna compliment with a surf or a billet grill. Can't wait to see the final product...... :) :) :)

[-BJ-]

Looking good now mate 8) Its always handy having a spraypainter as a friend !

[Rollsy]

yea i hope to put a surf or billet grill on!! anyone know wether a newer model surf grill will fit on? or does it have to be 84-88? also anyone know where i could get a billet grill? im after chrome door handles and chrome mirrors as well but the only ones i can find on ebay are for the 88 onwards model!?

[Synergy]

no they all change rollsy, 85 - 89 different to 90 - 97 then from 98 - 04 different, the the new 05 luxs are different again

[Synergy]

any updates mate?

[rollsy2]

sorry mate only just got around to making a new account since my old one buggered up when we got hacked!! :mad:

well not really any major updates! But the motor is now in the vehicle bolted up for the last time! (fingers crossed :D ) And hopefully sometime next week it will be getting dropped off do be all wired in and from their it will go straight to get the exhuast and intercooler piping done! Then all I have to do is put all the other stuff back on it and it should be done!! :D

I did come across a problem a couple of weeks ago when I put the motor in! When i sold the original 3y I gave the bloke the starter motor. But it was the starter motor to this motor!! :eek: so after a few days trying to track him down we eventually found him and he said that he had sold it to his mate with some other junk! but think its all gud now because he said he will get it back! (fingers crossed again!!)

and i think thats about it!
cheers
rollsy

[MON58L]

Great paint job mate, looks unreal.

[rollsy2]

well guys finally ill have something to update on in a couple of weeks! :p
dropping it off tomorrow to get wired up! then straight to the exhuast place.. im just getting a 2 and half inch system which will finish up as two canons.. one either side of the spare coming out under the tray! should look the goods! :D :D
on another note.. wat do u reckon it would be worth? once its running and finished? keeping in mind it has brand new 32's etc etc!
cheers
rollsy

[Synergy]

what engine u got in there?

[rollsy2]

think its all started back on page 2. but anyway its a 1ggte (twin turbo 2L 6cylinder supra motor)

[Ado250]

It usually goes what you spent on it minus 30%:D

How could you bare selling your pride and joy though? Looks like a keeper to me.

Ado

[Synergy]

Pics!

[taziiy]

Rollsey you have done heaps in the short time you have had the truck it looks awsome now with the new paint work it should be great when its all going again big thumbs up

[rollsy2]

Rollsey you have done heaps in the short time you have had the truck it looks awsome now with the new paint work it should be great when its all going again big thumbs up

thanks mate!
i even suprise myself when i go back to the start of this thread and have a look at what it was like! then look at the date and it was only 12months ago! :eek: :D

[Jarrod.]

paint job looks awsome

[brokelux]

ahh yes rollsie but the end of november is getting closer i can taste the beer already

[rollsy2]

ahh yes rollsie but the end of november is getting closer i can taste the beer already

it will be done by then douggie! never u mind about that! ;) :D

[PJ.zook]

Wow that thing is sure comin along, you sure are spending the dough on it, good work, love builds like this!

[rollsy2]

Wow that thing is sure comin along, you sure are spending the dough on it, good work, love builds like this!

thanks mate.. but the thing is i havent really spent all that much! the major things have only been.. 800ish for tyres and rims.. 1000 for the paint job (and traded my dirt bike).. 1000 for motor and bellhousing.. and a few other little bits and pieces.. all up im hoping to have it all done for under 5grand! which is about the going price for a 85 lux with the old 3y and crappy paint job! lol..
but it defiantly helped that my uncle gave me the hilux for only a couple of days work! :D
cheers
rollsy

[gvzook]

This is my first post on this forum, and I couldnt help but pick this topic to "pop my cherry" as I think you have done a great job.

Congratulations on the build up, Car looks unreal and a few of the earlier replies are eating there words right now. Cant wait to see the end result.

In my opinion the only problem I see so far is the mounting of your intercooler. Perfect on a sedan but possibly a bit vulnerable there on a 4wd. If you are putting the WRX scoop on use a top mount intercooler, then your scoop will not only look good but it will have a purpose.

Anyway, congrats on the build and enjoy it once its off the beaten track.

[rollsy2]

thanks mate..
and yea i know the intercooler isnt in the best of spots but was sort of my only option! because didnt want a top mount..
here's some pics of wat it looks like now.. im going to paint it purple to match the lux.. and put some of that mesh stuff over the hole..
before

[Rocky4.4]

Motor Looks Great in there you have done a great job !

[Pete Polly]

I really hope you going to give that front bar a bit of TLC and paint it before it goes back on...

[Synergy]

what made u go with that engine rollsy?

[rollsy2]

yea 'pete polly' as i said im going to paint it the same purple as the hilux.. and put some mesh over the hole where the intercooler is..
synergy.. umm brokelux (doug) was the main reason i went with this motor! he has a similiar motor in his hilux but the 3lt version.. so yea he convinced me to it.. :p :D and the final decider was when me clutch buggered up! ;)

fantastic looking ute you have there. good to to see a build where you have done much of the work yourself not just sending it to a shop with a list of things to be done a pic of what it is to be like when you get it back and a big thumbs up to you cause i love a bit of DIY and it is much more satisfying in the end

took the hilux into the engineer and he said everything's all gud so the defect sticker has been removed!! :D
now just have to wait for me mod plate to turn up and i can get it insured!

Just read through the post from the start tonight.Makes me wish that kept my 81 hilux,and did my own build-up.The bloke I sold it to though,now wants to sell it and get a dual cab.Looks like an awesome 4by,hope you get the turbo worked out.Will be looking out for more photos of your next work.

[rollsy2]

well well well!!
its been a while since an update!
I have some news...
After spending ages making a manifold for my new turbo to sit on, fabing up oil and water lines, air intake, etc.. Got it all sorted and went to take it for its maden vouyage.. and.......... it still made the same noise it was making before hand! :crazy: :o
so after feeling like the biggest loser possible me and a mate worked out it was actually the rear diff!! (but to make me feel a little better, the turbo's were defiantly on the way out anyway cause they had heaps of freeplay!! hence why i thought it was them making the noise!)
soooo.. i thought bugger it.. and fitted cruiser diffs front and rear!! :waycool: rear diff also has an air locker!! (big thanks to doug for his diffs at a very cheap price! :thumb: )
and thats about it for now!
will post up some pictures of the new turbo set up soon!
cheers

From the web site above

Size: 16x8
PCD: 6 /139.7 & 5/150
Offset: -10 mm
Borehole: 110.5 mm

You would think that the 16 x 10's would fit as they have a -44 off set are you sure they gave you the 16 x 10's and not the 16 x 8's with only the -10 off set

yea mate you are right! i took them back in an they tried to fit them an they wouldnt fit. (suprise suprise!) so i got my money back because they said if these dont fit none of the wasps will. but got a call this morning and turns out it was the wrong rims! now i gotta wait 3 weeks for the right ones! :crazy:
but oh well should be worth it!
cheers

[Celt's]

Might have been a bit of a drama but at least it has been sorted out & you didn't lose any cash over it. Look forward to seeing the right 1's fitted up.

[Celt's]

Great pics mate, good to see it out there. Bummer about those rims though.:(

[neonasty]

and its lasted 12months of p-plater driving! lol
do it mate! this thing hammers so a 1jz would be even better!

[rollsy2]

Had her on a heap bigger lean than that before he could take the pic.. that is one deep arse rut!! from now on its straight through the guts for me!! although doing that is how i ended up with a cab full of mud! lol :crazy:

[Celt's]

[rollsy2]

hey guys,
well after almost parting out my hilux i had a little incident the other night which has made that pointless. so im going to do the opposite and sink a bunch more money into it! :crazy:
while having some fun in a bit of swampy type land i done a bottom end bearing!
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/003.jpg


http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/004.jpg

so now while ive got the motor stripped i may as well build it up. going to stroke it to a 2.2L and put in forgies, do a bit to the head etc.
ill be aiming for at least 200rwkw and a motor I'll know i can give a gutful and it wont die! (this will leave the gearbox as my weakest link but not sure how I'll work around that yet)
while the motor is out i plan on pulling the body off and respraying the chassis etc. plus lots more. so keep an eye out!
cheers
rollsy

[boof]

Bad news on the damage great news on the keep it and build it idea :thumb:
What box are you running now? A R series box will hold that much power

[SJCHilux]

Just went through your build/thread and just want to say a big well done... your Lux has come a long way with your hard yakka... no good about the engine, but good news she's on a rebuild. keep the Gen 2's alive !!!!!

sjc

[rollsy2]

Bad news on the damage great news on the keep it and build it idea :thumb:
What box are you running now? A R series box will hold that much power

yea ive still got the g52 box. And im not too keen on swapping to a different box because then ill have to get a bellhousing to suit etc. Ive read people running these g52's behind some decent power so i think ill just have a rebuilt spare one laying around and see how things go.
If i did run a different box I wouldnt mind going all crazy and trying to make a 6 speed work. :crazy: :waycool:
Doubt it would be possible tho.
cheers
rollsy

[rollsy2]

just a bit of an update on plans.
decided i want it back on the road by new years eve.
so im buying another motor through sss automotive and that way i can slowly build up the other one when i have money etc.
also gotta make some 37 x 13.5 xterrains fit. with no gaurd cutting. hrmm lift!!!?? :waycool: :crazy:
p.s
can a mod change the title of this thread for me?
i made a new account after the big hacker crash thing we had awhile back cause my old one wouldnt work. so now i cant change it!!!

[rollsy2]

well who said u need big lift to fit 37's!!!

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/tires007.jpg

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/tires010.jpg

got width?

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e322/derekrolls/tires006.jpg

now as long as i dont wanna put my motor back in, turn corners or hit bumps they will work sweet!! :crazy:

[nate]

[PajeroHero1987]

tidy truck mate good quality luxie great to see what it looked like when you got it aswell looks alot better now

Looking good Rollsy, good effort getting 37's under there... so what are you going to with the tray? have you flexed it up yet...

[rollsy2]

Looking good Rollsy, good effort getting 37's under there... so what are you going to with the tray? have you flexed it up yet...

still gotta put lift blocks under the tray. and extended shackles in the front and back! which should be enough to get it rolling without to much scrubbing till i can afford cross over steering and more lift after christmas.
cheers
rollsy

[Celt's]

Nice work mate, & it's good to see your staying with it & getting it working the way you want. Goodwork with the 37"s by the way. ;)

[hilux_bondy_007]

looking good, nice a tuff stace with it low and on 37's

[rollsy2]

hey guys,
got my new engine in and running. ended up being straight forward which i was a little suprised about! :waycool:
definately in the need of more lift as the 37's scrub just driving around woolworths car park atm. :crazy:
but heres a pic next to my daily driver (99, 2.7 petrol) and also a pic of the engine bay *note the cable tied radiator hose. :crazy: (and before i get flamed to hard it was only a temporary measure. plus it worked a treat anyway)

hey guys,
got the rear shackles in today. alot of work for just an inch of lift i reckon! :crazy:
but anyway while i was at my mates i put it on his travel ramp! stopped just before it was about to start scrapping on the gaurds. but this is with out extended shackles in the front. and also would be better if i moved the diff forward!
SIK FLEX BRO!!! hahaha

ray (crankycruiser off here i think) gets his cruiser right to the end. so i have a bit to go yet! :crazy: lol

oh also on the way home i noticed either the clutch is slipping or its leaking boost somewhere. pretty sure its the clutch tho but really couldnt be f*cked looking at it when i got home.

cheers

I see you have already mentioned moving your diff forward. Re drill your diff perches, this should give you some more room under yoiur guards. I did this on my old 4runner. I had a two inch spring lift extended shackles and two inch body lift combined with the diff perches allowed me to run 35's without any scrubbing. Here is a pic of some front flex.

That was before the diff perch mod.
