Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I don’t know, the transfer case in my Nissan has never given me problems, touch wood, but I had a 308 and now the 1uzfe v8 hooked up and it has handled that ok.

I think the 720 Nisans also had a divorced transfer case.

I guess that shows how old fashioned I am, as my rope still has a hemp wick.

DavidM thanks for the comment on the old Nissan, but back to the rope I would just reoil the rope with a recommended cable lubricant. All I have ever done in the past is after using in mud is spool the rope out hose of the mud and respool running the rope back through an oiled rag. This has been all ...

When we used to get our underground winches inspected by the mines inspector they were always unto keeping the rope wick oiled, that is the hemp rope up the center of the wire rope. The purpose of the wick is to lubricate the wire strands, this allows movement of the wire strands and stopping the ...

I made my own for my conversion and I am just using the standard Holden air filter element, it seems to be working well so far.

It should as the bushes are a fair bit thicker than the Nissan bushes, the shackles can now flex more than the factory setup.
I have found that in my Nissan it seems to work better than before, but I do need longer shocks to get the full benefit of the modification. This is one of the jobs on my to ...

As I said I think the bushes are from a Toyota, they don’t come together as the mount is wider than Toyota, so I cut one bush down to make up the difference (three bushes per side). I just took the bush down to my local steel shop and got a short piece of pipe that was a tight fit for the bushes.

The higher you make the vehicle, the vehicle become less stable. But I have had little affect on my Nissan, but I do notice the added height on sharp corners at high speed.

As for the pinion angle from what I understand it should be close to parallel to the output shaft of the transfer case ...

1UZFE v8

Stokedapollo a SWB is affected more so than a LWB with the angle of pinion to the tail shaft, I used the original shackles from my wagon, I could have used a set from the utility as they are 10 centimeter longer which is bugger all in the scheme of things.

I have had little affect on the handling ...

Stokedapollo if you want to look on my build up I have a photo of the rear hanger I made for my MK, I used my original shackles but you could use extended shackles as well, I used larger bushes which should give more flex than the Nissan bushes. I think from memory the bushed are from a Toyota set ...

Brighty if you want to look on my build up I have a few photos of the tanks I made, you can see how I had the baffles folded, getting baffles made this way allows the tank to expand and contract and not pull the weld causing leaks in the future. I had a local sheet metal shop fold all the bits to my ...

Rust is why I did mine the way I did, I was able to just spot-weld the seams the same as the factory method, plus used drain slots in the panel. Then sprayed plenty of rust proofing on the inside.

I did my rear quarter panels and rear bar as well, it probably is not what you want but you can have a look and see if there is anything that will help you do yours.

What about the solenoid that you have in the picture with you 3500lb winch, the motor on that winch appears to have only 2 wires to connect to it.

I presume this is for a MQ/MK Nissan. If it is I think the tail gate fits but I think the window is not interchangeable.

I used the standard fuel pumps on my mk to run a 308 with a four-barrel Quadra jet with no problems.
It could be your fuel pump on the way out, undo it of the carbie and run the pump it to see if it is running fuel continually.
But first I would check the filters, as it sound like a blocked fuel ...

I am currently doing a disk swap on the rear as well, this is why I have been trying the different master cylinder, and I would think you need the bigger booster to get the affect of more feel to the brakes.

On its own I have got more pedal but I have to stand on it harder to stop the Nissan. This ...

Neither the MK or GQ have a valve to hold pressure on the drum brakes, like some other master cylinders do, the only difference you see visually when you strip the two master cylinders down is the bore size, so I don’t think there should be a problem there.

The mq master cylinder is smaller in bore, than some of the gq master cylinders, the easiest way is to measure is to measure the outside. The mq is 32mm and the larger gq is 36mm, from memory the bore is 4 mm larger.

It must be a common problem, my brothers has done the same. He blamed corrugated roads and heavy passengers. He just welded up the cracks, it hasn’t given any trouble yet.

No, I think it is worse than standard. The bigger master cylinder has given me more pedal height but less stopping power, I am going to try to fit the GU power booster this should fix it as they have a double diaphragm booster this will put more power to the brakes.

I am running a GU master cylinder on my MK Nissan.

I went to the Qld department of transport and got the national code of practice for building small trailers, this gave me all the information I needed to build my trailer.
I then had no problems getting it registered, I would think you should be able to get this info from your department, or it ...

They will normally drift out with a bit of persussion, or put a hacksaw blade through the bush and fit to hacksaw and cut a slot through the bush, you might have to cut two cuts and drive the bush out in two half’s.

When I had the 308 in my mk I used holden 2 piece extractors and I had to modify the right hand bank to clear my front tail shaft, I was not hard to do, and it was worth it for the extra performance gained.

At least when I stand on them I know they wont bend.

Well I reckon I know it wont fall of on our north Qld roads anyhow. I have made them with a jacking point each end that’s why I used 5 mounting points, but the way they are made they should not stop the chassis flexing.
