Outer Limits 4x4 Board

when i did mine , i took off about 60thou (1.5mm) this gave me a CR of 9.5 with a .5mm over bore on the pistons unsure of how much had been taken off of head before i got it this was done by ccing the comp chambers as mentioned .have to run premium afterwards and didn't really help with power much ...

Could be a bead leak, comes and goes at different speeds and temperatures.
i have seen this and it makes a squeeking sort of noise.

The circlips come in different thickneses as they are supposed to be a selective fit to control end float of the CV.

Maybe you need a thinner one?

The "real" ones are set up the same, Warn 9k, 10k that is .
identical to look at.

If it has been running gear oil, i would stick to that and try to find the real cause of the problem (remember it was ok before it stuffed up). My guess is the problem is in one the front hub bushes and or a wheel bearing.

Shaun.

See if you can spin the front tailshaft by hand.

Having done about 35000k on my 285s i recon they aren't any where near BFG Muds in the Mud . definately a great on road tyre and good in the sand but in mud.... if BFG muds were a 10 i would give MTZs a 7 also wear is a problem initial tread depth is 15mm compared with 17mm for the BFGs i am down to ...

No spacers inside box, would be a nice touch, dunno about the rubber inbetween, i used stainless box so less of a problem with rust, i have had on there for about four years and its had a full jerry in it across the simmo and all of the Cape, on high country trips its full of recovery gear or ...

Door Handle is is very close with 20L jerry in but can always open door. This is a TJM Jerry can holder with a couple of bits of 20x20 box in behind as spacers, Tricky bit is inside door to pick up on inner skin and hinge bracket and not reley on door skin to carry weight. Took a bit of thought to ...

This ones been up the "top" and across the "guts"
and down "there" and hasn't buggered the hinges yet!
There are a couple of super brackets inside, so weight isn't on door skin.

Good point Darin.
The other good thing with this setup is the increased volume of the shock, for fade resistance, ace on corrugations.

best to use a forklift or similar to load up the front of your car and then see if the coils bind before the bumpstop is hit or not. if your coils have one extra turn in them than standard then extending bumpstops down by the diameter of the spring (19mmm ?) should do the job. it is a close thing ...

Do not just bolt them in ! I have 80 series Konis in my GQ and you need to fit spacers to the upper shock mount or else the shock will "top out" and break. this depends on what lift you have, but if you have a 4 plus inch lift you can use about a 30mm spacer as the coils bind before you hit the bump ...

TB 42E has a oil cooler on the side of the block (jap diesel style)

TB 42S has a blanking plate


Shaun.

A few more tips for the job. You need to copy a lsd plate, including the "ears", if you dont include these it wont sit right , it is tricky to cut material this thin , be carefull !! i used a holesaw for the middle hole and then cut the outside with a thin cutting disk on the angle grinder. I bought ...

When i set mine up, i was a bit conservitive and with a .5mm shim i ended up with 150nm up from a fairly worn (320,000ks) 85nm before. i would check what you have now and then work up from there, 150nm works good with 33s and bitumen work, but for a car that runs simex 35s full time , maybe 200nm ...

No one has explained why a wagon chopped into a ute,
is any different to a ute?

A ute (as long as it looks factory) is a ute

why would this not be ok?

I just got my MTZ's in the 285 size and so far they are great.

quieter on road than my old muddies.

If the angle of your diff is not factory (castor or pinion angle at rear) then the fill level will be wrong.

i usually squeese a bit more in to allow for this.

Looked like it was shaping up to be a fairly successful event when i made my brief visit on saturday arvo, about 120 very muddy cars returning from trips of various standards and damage reports. luckily i just had two flat tires this morning , which is about par for the godown for me.

Hi Goanna

If you would like people to be nice to you, try the NISSAN section

Ive got the Gu box on mine and all good,especially the increase in lock. just used the Gu drag link . and it bolted in. one minor thing is that at idle on butumen, not moving, sometimes it is a bit hard to steer . I have heard that the Gu's have a different diameter pulley on the power steering pump ...
