i have tried some different setups with mine.. i have ended up with a 85 NT tin top, with spoa... only 3 leavs... 33x12.5 15's with not enough off set.....(next on list) flexs round great and isn't that bad with the 33's ride wise. Front locker was the best thing i could of dun for it... Also ended up fitting a 1ltr transfur case, bring the gearing down nice. |

GO POPPIE ARMS. lol ha ha still waiting for them QUOTE(WICKED @ Jul 3 2008, 12:24 PM) [snapback]1282559218[/snapback] Gear's would be a very close second! im only in the mud, (tassie always wet) lowering it to much more than the 1ltr case will kill the highway runs... but when this pops i will lol |

not alot in the way of turbo/supercharger set ups. generally gotta make em your self.i have had one supercharged sierra motor using the 4agze blower and suzuki balino throttle body injection and i gotta say it was still shit for power hey and worse off road. dont get me wrong, i like my zooks, but you cant go past a 4age powered zook. it doesnt sound that fast saying it'll rip an injected 5 litre commodore, but for a car that is not built to go fast, it is shit scary and feels hella fast. when i dumped my 4age hard top zook off the lights at 6500 rpm if picked the front wheels off the ground a good foot, i shit you not. the end result i killed the honda civic i was racing, but i also bent the living fuck out of my rear diff housing and had a slow, noisie trip home- but it was worth it . i only did it once more after that at 8500 rpm and blew the pinion clean out of the centre- not cool. had to take out the rear drive shaft and dive it home in front wheel drive, oil EVERYWHERE. |

ur right bro, looks like ur after exactly the same thing as me as soon as me car sells. Good set up although are 33's asking a bit much for no power steering or does it handle fine??. Anyone no the lift limits in QLD is it 2 inch suspension and 2 inch body olny. Or 4 inch all up. Also whats the 5' kit off snake racig like. |

33's is what im hoping for. my mate has 33's on his and it handles nicely. still its 4wd but its fairly light steering. not sure on his lift setup at the moment. |

some of my mates work for alot of offroad companys such as Wombat offroad, ARB and they go out with clubs and just mates, and, who ever drives the sierra always wins! and im talking Pubfinders and Pootrols with serious 4wd shit. and a sierra is beating them? lol. |

There's no way it'll turn 33s without reduction gears. You'll need a lot of guard cutting or bumpstop packing to fit them, as well as moving diffs to clear the firewall. A lot more things start breaking above 32s as well. I've got 31s and they're brilliant, no problems with clearance on the same tracks as Hiluxes with 33s and 35s. Steering is incredibly heavy with low pressures at slow speeds and front locker, i'm fitting powersteering shortly. |

QUOTE neil se i'm fitting powersteering shortly what rack etc are you steeling that from? if you dont mind me asking. is eveyone running front a rear welded diffs? or tight lsd's? ben. |

i been as high as 35's on my zooks but always ended going more places with 31's and 33's. anything over 31's and you gotta be a little careful about jumping on the power button on full lock in 4wd- tend to smash cv's real easy. everyone drives different tho, i have built some with 35's on zook diffs and they have'nt had a problem. you can go hilux diffs or if you have a wide track you can go MQ patrol diffs, but the mods are large campaired to the gains. its far easier to stay with simple, its works and its cheaper. i have seen near stocko zooks blow coilover comp trucks out of the water. truthfully to a certain extent its not always what you drive, its how you drive it. |
