Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey fellas...

Well my gearbox finally let go in the paj last night.

back in 2004 i had it neutralize between gears in the middle of a hill climb, Myself and some mates did a dodgy fix and managed to get it driving again albeit with alot more slop between gears with a couple of hammers and some ...

Hey Guys.

Thanks again for the replies. Replaced them all today.

Did them one at a time while the car was on the hoist. Piece of cake.
However the old bushes (sleeved rubber ones) took a bit of grunt in the press to get out. Just took abit of time to make and good setup for the press.

Id been ...

Sweet. Thanks for the info guys, Much appreciated.

Ended up getting the superpro bushes, Should have them in by the weekend.

Heys Guys


Had a search and a look through the bible but couldnt find any info on replacing the upper and lower trailing arms on a GQ.

Are they just a simple press in and press out deal? (Ive got a 40t press at work)
Is there anything to look out for?

Were going to just grab some normal ...

Could also be cr*p build up around combustion chamber/head. It stays hot for a bit after engine is shutdown and becasue of that it can act like a spark plug..... Could be a combo of this and the solenoid as well.

Have you had the head off recently? From what ive read the cr*p is a build up of the ...

Toyotas engineers have co-authored a paper on cavitation on bearings in 6 cylinder diesel engines.
Bad batch of bearings? Don't think so and 5,000km oil changes aren't going to stop that either.


I read a very technical article about harmonic vibrations in the 1HD-T being the cause of failed big ...

If you get one make sure you take the sump off and change the big end bearings, originally these engines used to spin big end bearings and stuff the crank.... Cheap insurance to change them.

Great engines though!


had a mate who was a service manager at toyota when these things came out (he ...

Guys, In summary to this topic, would it be fair to say that both 1HDt and 1HD-FT engines are as good as one another in terms of strength and longevity?

Strength-Yes as they were both designed as dedicated turbo motors with all the nessesary bits being stronger than the 1hz

Longevity-Yes, but ...

Why are ZD30 engines (in Patrols) so inherently bad?






Becasue no one taught them how to use the search function

We use 'D-mastic' which is a non setting sealant that 'skins' when we do some roofing and body work on busses/coaches.

not sure how it would go with the heat in an engine bay though.

you tried ...

Thanks for the complements. The KM (FM etc...) series transmission cases flex more than others under torque. The flexing moves the primary shaft and secondary shaft away from each other thereby moving the torque loading out the a weaker part of the gear teeth and improperly side load the bearings ...

thanks ncPaj....
when you went to dubai, the outlander you used, was it stock or did it have a few mods...

It was just a stocko outlander. The same model as the one in your pic with highway tyres. Pretty sure it was the 4cyl thing too.

i went to mitsubishi today and they told me that what i ...

ahhhh fark.... i had a big response written out but forgot i hadnt logged in so i lost it. So here is what i can remember.

Not to sound like a prick but i dont think it will be worth it. The amount of money you will throw at this thing will only give small gains in ...

Hey mate.
The kit looks good- nice to see a quality comprehensive kit/install instructions for the DIY'er.

But
Im still at a loss to see what benefit the kit makes? What exactly do you strengthen/stop from happening with the thicker plate on the bottom of the box?
Its just im curious to find out ...

WOW.... Just wow. That came up great!!!!!

You taken it for much of a drive just yet? How does the 12ht go in the ute?

dude check the yellow pages....................


but dont go to bunnings in any case, they are way expensive.


Try these guys....heaps cheaper than bunnings

I see the problem. You're asking where to buy 4x4 tyres but what you really want is cafe terrains. Fourbys probably aren't a premium Bridgestone dealer because they don't move alot of them so aren't able to buy them at the crazy prices you found.

Best to stick to one of the main Bridgestone ...

-Volts (One for each Battery)
-Oil Pressure
-Water temp

*Cough* Regass it with LPG *Cough*

yeah mate we deal a lot with chinese truck tyres at work

-linglong,longmarch,double star etc etc

we deal with a mob called 'panda tyres' and they seem to be pretty good with prices etc.

and a mate of mine who was the copper at Yaraka (bout 14hrs west of brissi), reckons that heaps of people use ...

Make sure you run a earth strap from your alloy radiator to stop electrolysis. I didn't and within 18 months the core had corroded and the radiator needed replacing

Wrong.
Radiators should never be earthed. Have a look at just how far manufacturers have gone to ensure the radiator is not earthed ...

even if ive got one of those new cruisers with a boat and my kid onboard?????

how old? what model? petrol diesel? is your triton?

because as far as i know some of the early tirtons/pajeros had borg warner boxes and the plastic bush for the gear stick is the same one that some commodores used (may be wrong)

'I am Bender, Please insert girder'

They use sikaflex for holding bus bodies together these days without welding or riverts. It allows panels to flex instead of being stretched or stressed causing work hardening, making them brittle. I used sikaFLEX on mine and have driven half way round Aust and back in the last three mths and the ...

weld some barbs onto the flares before coating.

You could try clamping a peice of copper bar to the pipe and weld up to it to create a square shoulder on the weld for better clamping

You could make one yourself to fit a custom space from RHS. I would test it properly though to make sure it can take the pressure.
I made my rear bar from 100x100RHS and built my swingaway tyre carrier into it, and deliberately made the RHS airtight with the intention of using it as a tank.

I ...

where do people get their air tank fittings from.

Bunnings are about $5 - $7 each. Whilst it not stacks they have to be available cheaper than this.

pirteck, enzed some times have bits- they were helpful when i was chasing a couple of bits so i could run a smaller nozzle on a different thread ...
