Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sorted out the cooling yet?
They get very warm..

Cost is not the thing...
looking at the bigger filtering capacity...

Can anyone see any problems with replacing the standard Z170 oil filter (about $25) with the larger Z9 oil filter(about $8)
have done it with mine & hasn't changed the oil pressures. It should give better filtering & greater oil capacity...

Any one done this before??
Any Problems??

Ok need to Rebuild my GQ Factory Diff Locker..
Can anyone suggest a good place to get it done??
I'm in the Ipswich area but don't mind a bit of a trip..

I don't have a problem with the CV's.. the problem is the height.. the vitara will kick over most things.. just doesn't like the rocks.. To keep it Road legal in Qld you can only have 2" lift total (this includes tyres, body & spring) by doing a diff swap I should be able to get round this...

hey mate this is my vitara its not legal but throught u mite wanna have a look anyway http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=207144" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; cheers Thank's for that.. any chance you have some drawings of what you did.. copys of any pics you have ...

Thanks for the info antt.... Understand what you mean about the stuff around with Queensland transport.. Not looking to comp it, just want a small 4x4 that will not shake me appart like a serria will (& yes I have had one) Have had a solid diff 4Runner to but they are getting a bit old now.. If they ...

Does anyone know of any SAS Vitara's out there in Queensland that are road legal??
From what I can find it seems possible.
Know there are kits out there, just hoping someone has done the paper work before & got it through..

Any help Info would be great....

Did you change the motor??
Vitara's as far as I know were a carby motor till mid 1994..
Efi motor should push the 31's I have a 95 SWB on 31's & it doesn't have a problem (heavy duty clutch but).. what is the difference in weight between the SWB & the LWB??

Have had a few friends that have had them all had electrical problems would stop for no reason (almost lik a vapour lock) they spent heaps on trying to solve the problem never did ended up selling them.. don't know the amount but the difference in power between the carbie & efi model is enough had a ...

I would go for the 1.6L injected over the 2.0L have heard some nasty things about the 2.0L & the 1.6L injected seams bullet proof then if you like drop a turbo on it..

don't use the 2.4 td it's crap....

How much was the box run worth...
Great run.....

If you are looking for a new home for the old springs, I know a swb vit that they can go under....

Happy to give you a hand if you are near Ipswich....

cool...

Can sell you one cheep 4wd housing with axels no centre from 85 runner same as the hilux one $100 and its yours...

Hilux's don't have a handbreak....

Have had both, if you are doing soft-roading as you say go the IFS, you will get a better example for your money..

Would scrap it & get a new one..
If it is that bad there chances are the whole chasie is screwed..
Once you start reparing it will not be long before you find more weak spots..

why...
Assuming you want the offset for 4x4 work, you shouldn't need the taper on that side, if you do want it, double taper the holes..
no need to run a thick centre or double the holes..

There is a number of ways it could be done..
if you can handel the extra weight, you can run a double rim centre..

Need pics....
of motor & the crowbars you bent getting it in there,,,

Sweet looking ride..
are you going to try & get it road legal??

and I think you mean toyota Blizzard, which is a Daihatsu.


Steve.

Ok.. Total blond moment...
Thanks for the correction.

I think the Grand Vitaras in the States come out with a TD.
If thats any help..

Had a look for it but couldn't find, so could be having a blond moment...

But I think the Toyota Blitz? came out with a 2L D & that was just an early serria but it would be hard to find one of those now..

Looking at geting a little 4x4.. Have had a carby 1.6L Vitara in the past & was very happy with it. Was more capable then people give them credit for.. Looking at a bit more power so looking at a V6 how is the reliablity of these motors? Which is the strongest between the 2L or 2.5L? Are any parts ...

As a "Comp Virgin" doing the navi job for "67boogieman" (Bruce modified section) I found the organisation of the day lacking but understand that the people running it are new to it to.. As for the day I had great fun (still in pain) even though I was way out of my depth.. Agree that the tracks ...

Yes welcome to our world...

You are in for a world of pain... Lots of guys on here can do the mods for you.. As for an engineer, good luck... best to start with QLD Transport (good luck) running anything over 35's in QLD will depend on your diff's think 25mm over standard.. Good luck... As for tracks there are heaps around ...
