Outer Limits 4x4 Board

its a Nikki mate....I must've jagged it cos the old girl is running again. Would still appreciate a diagram if there's one out there.

G'day, I'm just putting a carby kit through my 3y. The kit came with the car and is missing the exploded view and one gasket. Was just wondering if anyone had one they could scan or email me. I've just discovered the little ball and not 100% sure where it came from. Just about to wing it and put ...

I bit the bullet and went with a supercheap one, got it for $200 down from $360, 1250kg so pretty happy with that and has 12 months warranty. I'll put it through it's paces the net few weeks rebuilding a tractor, should be a good test.

thanks y'all, pretty well sums up what I was thinking (hoping), that the cheap ones will do the job. I'm not used to buying cheap tools, but this thing will be the same as most others and only get used a couple of times a year max I reckon. I'd love to buy an old school HD one, but unfortunately ...

I'm about to fork out and buy an engine crane, but there is so many options and prices, I thought I might pick the brains of those that already have one. I guess it's like anything in that you get what you pay for, but not sure I want to spend $600 on a kincrome when one of the cheap n nasty ~$250 ...

I'd also buy a boost gauge if you haven't already mate. Your best bet would be to have it set up on a dyno when the time comes to tuning it, so it can be put under full load and then you can be confident wherever you take it(ie: soft sand, long pulls on h/way, towing etc) that the exhaust temp won't ...

I put a turbo on mine at 290K and didn't do a thing except set it up properly. Didnt change pistons, bearings or anything. And then abused it for years after that with no worries. That was 93 model HZJ75. My suggestion would be once rebuilt, fit a boost and pyro gauge, but also check your pump ...

catch can is the best idea. These do this whether turboed or not, mine did it with turbo, my mates did it without a turbo. Both in the same scenario, steep hill at high revs. Like others said the oil pools at the back of the rocker cover on steep uphill angles and the breather feeds it straight into ...

Comes standard with all Toyota's It pissed my old man off that much he rang toyota about it and they told him it was because their cars seal so well, and the way to fix it is A/C on and heat, this dehumidifies the air.

could be a boost leak too. Have you got a gauge fitted?

too many tough wagons in here, have to bring some utes into it...

my old 75 series (can tell its old, pre digi camera days)


current FJ45

i vote for turbo. I turboed mine at 300,000ks and it lasted the few years after that I had it without a drama. Only ran 9psi boost no intercooler and pyro running a 550deg C. And it got flogged up and down the soft sand, towed my ski boat blah blah... The price of a V8 conversion will soon run away ...

Here's mine and best of all if you really like it its for sale

it was usually just the plug into the back of the alternator for me. Try pulling it out and spray a bit of electrical cleaner in the plug and the alternator and blow it out before going to the trouble of pulling your alt off and apart. Might save yourself a bit of work.

Cheers everyone. That lot should keep me busy for a while.

Cheers I will give them a go. Dunno about wood in the bar, but maybe a burl elm dash could be the go...

I'll stick some ocky straps in my bag too, just in case

Where do people buy steel on the south side of Bris or Ipswich? I used to get what I needed from where I was working but now I fly in/out it's a bit tough to get a couple of metres on the plane. I don't want to have to buy lengths and lengths. I just want to have a go at building a front bar for my ...

Thanks for your help fellas. Think I might head to an auto sparky tomorrow.

Cheers.

I pulled the brushes out and cleaned them up first thing today before I went and bought the mulitmeter. They look ok still had nearly 10mm I suppose. It's got a good belt on it and it's tight. Yeah, there is 3 wires in the back. + which has a short wire which goes to what is the regulator I assume ...

I've got a bosch alternator fitted to my FJ45. The original regulator has been removed. I've been having dramas with the battery going flat. I bought a cheap multimeter today and found after I charged the battery with a charger it has around 12V with the engine off, but when I start it the voltage ...

The multi bolt pattern flange is actually on the diff, not the shaft. This means you can bolt any shaft (within reason) you want to it. I'll grab a pic in the morning to make things clearer. If you got put on the transfer and one on the diff you could bolt the 80 shaft straight in.

The hubs are engaged via vacuum on these I think??? Did old mate that checked the pump check the whole system? Could be a split or disconnected vacuum line.

DON'T make your viscous hub solid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did this ages ago and it was fine untill i did a river crossing and the blades flexed while trying to push the water and put a massive slice right thru my radiator ...

I agree it could be the fan, put two tubes of the silicon in it which should just about lock it up full time. No harm in this, did it on mine when I turboed it and never had a drama. As for a fan doing nothing at 100km/h, I see the logic that you would think it would hinder, but I've been in plenty ...

Hey mate, I just picked up a complete spare diff, housing etc for my 45 last week and it came with a multi yolk/flange. It's got about 3 stud patterns on it. Sorry I don't want to give this one up but just letting you know they are out there. I will try get hold of the fella I got it off and see if ...

Thanks fella's. Looks like I've got one out of NSW, just need to work out how to get it up here to Bris./Ipswich now...

ah bugger for me, good for you. No dramas I am onto a couple of others, so should get one soon. Cheers

thanks. Sounds something like what I'm after. What would be the reason for the rebuild? Just a freshen up or is there damage?

Cheers

Can anyone suggest good places to try in or around Bris. for a used 2.8 Diesel? Doesn't matter if it needs some work. Also do these have the same mounts as an '85 2.4 Diesel? I've just picked up an '85 Runner and am keen to bolt a 3L (?) in and turbo etc etc.

Cheers

I've done a VN V6 into an 84 dual cab. Am about to do it again with an '85 Runner. Not sure which engine I will go with but. Will try for an Ecotech I think. One thing I know for sure is I will be using the holden auto this time. I did 3 std toyota boxes in three months. I admit I gave it a hiding ...
