Outer Limits 4x4 Board

You can pick up a brand new Hitachi 70amp one for 396 bucks.. As thats what I paid last week... I can drive around with high beams, spotlights, rear dimister, air con, thermo fan, break lights, dash lights, Stereo and amps and UHF on.. and still manage to hold 13.4 ish volts... Where did you get ...

Yeah oil is black and aircon still cool so kinda thought it wasn't that.

Im 99% sure that my alternator is spewing oil out, as I am getting oil all down the passenger side chasis rail and its just enough to leave an anoying couple of drips overnight on the drive. I have replaced the washers/seals on the oil feed to the alt and that did not stop it. The trouble is that I ...

Of course the tyre places are not going to give you a great price per tyre but I got 4 285/75/16 MTRs for what worked out at $255 each when you spread the price over 4. Thats $30 cheaper than I was able to get them 3 years ago, so in my opinion still a good deal.

Thanks tuffzook I had a look at that solenoid but couldnt see any where you could attach the line, is it near were the line from the alternator goes in?

Could someone please tell me where the vaccum line off the air con idle diaphram on the injection pump goes.
I noticed it was not hooked up and for the life of me can not see where it goes.

Going off memory I think that this size airbox would fit neatly behind p/side headlight.
Anyone done it?

As the subject line said ladys and gents, over here they start from $250 and head on up from there.

I use a Hewitt Pyro, I got mine from a truck instrument shop over here in WA. The way I see it the engines in trucks are worth a heap more than mine and they wouldn't stuff around with crap gauges. Only cost around $150 with the sensor.

94 185,000 running turbo all its life.

Recently replaced a busted CV and axle on passengers side, before replacement the shattered CV was restricting steering. Any way I have a whole new problem now in that when the hubs are locked and in 2H I get a loud banging noise when turning take the hubs out and its fine. I have checked the ...

Thanks Taz I thought it might be a CV been lucky not to have done one so far, will hold off getting the steering box and have a look tonight. If the steering is only going to the right do you have any idea which side CV would have gone.

Hi guys yesterday had the bus full lock and reversed up a hill and bang from the front. Now the she only turns to the right and will not go pass center when turning left, got it home interesting only turning right. Now I know you can take the steering rod off the pitman arm to test if the box is ...

What coin did they set you back Madmac?

Cheers thanks for that Madmac.

Hi guys which drop boxes out there are a bolt on item and best quality.
I can get hold of some Wizard bolt on ones over her in WA (Waita While) but just want to make sure which are the best quality/strength.

hi-luxmadness if you want a cheap fix for the cog slipping problem on the rear windows try this. Take the motor assembly off the door take off circlip holding cog on to motor then pull the cog out and put it back in backwards, if your slipping problem was the same as mine it was not the cog section ...

Moonman this is an easy one.
The best compressor on the market is a Danfos, so just find the fridge you like with the best insulation and size in your price range.

Well new tyre time has come around again and I am going to get another set of MTR/S great tyre no need to convince me of another brand. But the question is should I stick with the 285s or go to the 33" as I am not a great fan of the alloy rims I have at the moment. Plus going to the 15" Steelies ...

After reading some posts on here about fitting a lift pump to a TD42 I contacted a reputable Injection shop and they told me I did not need one. I am still not convinced and am fairly sure that adding one will help the old girl out as she really slows down around 3 grand. Now what type of pumps are ...

A good idea when undertaking such a big job like this it to get hold of a digital camera and go to town taking pics of everything before and during the strip down process. So when its all going back together and you cant remember exactly what went were you have a reference.

Although not really a factory turbo 4.2 my GQ 94 was sold new from Nissan with a safari systems turbo (garret) on it and I think heavier clutch with 4.2 ST turbo stickers on rear quarter. Over here in WA they sold them as special orders for around 10K more than NA ones but gave warranty (major rip ...

Sorry heading should read low pressure.

Now the question I want to know is this a worthwile exercise considering that my injector pump still has the 10mm plunger? I am running out of juice over 3 grand and you can really feel it. If the pump will help what type should I use and where is the best position for it closer to the tank or ...

Yeah the fuel screw has been wound in but my EGT's are still well within the safe limits and giving it any more fuel will cause the idle to rise.
No it dosent blow any smoke.

Is there any way to gain some more Idle adjustment from the fuel pump?
My engine is idling around 820 and thats it for cutting it back using the adjustment screw on the throttle stop.

Cheers baggers had a look then and it was a bit low will top up tonight and see how she goes.
Didn't even know there was a sensor there, learn something new every day.

Weird one here folks just started about 2 weeks ago as the subject line says it only comes on as I turn right then goes out when the vehicle heads straight on.
Does anyone know if their is another warning wired into this light?
Any sugestions?

After the IC went on the Boost pressure droped around 2 - 2.5psi so I allready know what the difference pre and post pressures should be.
Just wondering where everyone else takes their readings from.

Long time lurker first time poster Have read all the posts on what people have their TD42 turbos set at but am interested to know where these boost figures are taken from. I have a garret turbo and large top mount intercooler, currently boost reading taken post intercooler reading 13psi is this ...
