Outer Limits 4x4 Board

my track car never sees 130deg. 120 is generally regarded as the absolute limit amongst racers. You want a high quality full synthetic if you are hitting those temps.

If that Penrite 20-50 Gas is not a fully synthetic, I would be changing it.

I have seen a couple of 4.2 ST-L's recently, both priced more than a brand new ST. AS much as I don't like the ZD30, I'd buy brand new before I paid as much (or more) for a 100,000KM 3 yr old vehicle!

Also, if you could show me where on the Engel website they show this product that would be great! http://www.engelaustralia.com.au/cgi-bin/products.cgi These are made in China. Still, I'm happy to be proven wrong. Would love an Engel for that price! Mike right at the start of their webpage http ...

OKay im very close to installing the body lift, this weekend infact BUT i cant for the life of me remember wether those two mounts in the rear wheel arches and actual mounts of just buffers, kind of like bump stops?? they do nothing to support the body, you can leave them out. Also another couple ...

If you were that worried about weight you shouldn't have put a 9500 pound whinch on the front of a sierra. Use cable for non competition duties IMO agree. 30m of 8mm wire rope is about 7kg FFS. the weight issue is BS for recreational use. for comps where every second counts and the nav is doing ...

on my old Zuk I had polyethylene sheeting as my flares. It covered the tyres, it was flexible and it was very thin. When I got defected I was told in no uncertain terms that flares had to be of a structural nature to deflect pedestrians etc from the moving wheels and thus my flares were illegal, as ...

What is FWIW?? What sort of figures did it produce? How much is front section of exhaust? Flex joint, muffler?? sorry, FWIW = For What It's Worth. I figured you were already set on the custom approach and maybe looking for more power than a standard kit. the front section didn't have a flex joint ...

Hi all. Am currently sorting parts for a custom install turbo set up on 4.2 diesel. I have the intake side of things sorted from 3" snorkel to custom airbox. Am a little unsure about turbo choice. Does any one have any thoughts or have traveled the same road with a positive outcome. Am looking at a ...

Did you buy from DTS direct? no, I got it done by KM Diesel up here in Brisbane. They did my injection pump when it crapped out about a year ago so they may have looked after me a little with the price. It was the best quote I got up here and I was happy with their work and service when they did ...

late reply, but I just had my GQ turbo'd. DTS kit supplied, fitted, tuned, drive away $3400 plus the cost of having the dump pipe connected to my existing 2.5" exhaust plus a new flex joint $100. I want to get a 3" exhaust before too long but this will do for now. I also had the injectors replaced ...

yeah and monocoque

where'd you get that from?

not post 2000 but might give some idea Nissan GQ 4.2L pet/gas. and 4.2L dies. Petrol 55L tank ($72 to fill) = 350km = 6km/L = 15.7L/100km @ $1.31/L = $20.57/100km Gas 90L us. tank ($41 to fill) = 330km = 3.6km/L = 27.3L/100km @ $0.45 = $12.29/100km Diesel 90L tank ($120 to fill) = 650km = 7.2km/L ...

everyone is quick to bitch when the cops are doing their job but look at this guy, he even suggested fitting quick-removal mudflaps so you can just remove them when you go off road what a champion. he could have been such an asshole to you if he wanted to. quick removal mudflaps??? :? yeah and? i ...

well, he was asking about 3 particular vehicles... and mentioned a 4" lifted cruiser with all the goodies has caught his eye...

"how 'bout a nice disco, gov'nor?"

what did you expect him to say FFS?

I was refering to being mechanically minded, you will need a good tool kit to do anything past servicing and oil changes, that goes with any DIY work :idea: backpeddaling? its pretty clear you were saying if you own a rover you need to be more mechanically minded than if you own a jap truck: ...if ...

Go the Land Rover. There a great 4WD and despite what the Jap 4WD set say, they are reliable. ...blah blah blah... I do agree that if you are not mechanically minded, buy a Nissan or Toyota and be bored shitless with it. LR's have tons of personality (vehicles and drivers) but can test you patience ...

alternator $2000 genuine! no sh1t and you can expect other replacement parts to be similarly over-priced. What constitutes opinion or fact and what is informed or hearsay? A genuine alternator for a 1995 Tdi Disco costs about $480. That is a fact. The lad wants advice then make the advice valuable ...

I have 2 mates with tdi Discos - one manual, one auto. here's a couple of unbiased reasons not to get one: alternator $2000 genuine! no sh1t vacuum pump $450ish IIRC and you can expect other replacement parts to be similarly over-priced. Off Road open diffs both ends are a turn-off, and a limiting ...

that's right Nina. the centre hole needs to be larger to fit over the centre of the Patrol's FRONT hub. nothing to do with offset. Sunraysia rims fit both (ie made with the larger hole only), but alloys normally specify Patrol fitment - no idea why they don't just make them all with the larger hole ...
