Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Most annoying rattle i ever had sounded like it was coming from the dash but was actually the bonnet hinge. There is a rivet in each arm on either side that allows the arm to pivot and the rivet in that was loose. Fixed it by removing the bonnet and placing the rivet on a piece of steel and belting ...

Ive no idea, its just a metalic silver tester about the size of a pen i've had it for 20 years or so, but i have never had it spark like it does now, I thought maybe something wrong with the electrics but is it likely to be the tester maybe?

I have a fuse box mounted on the firewall of my QG where there is a positive wire in from the dual battery and it disperses through about 6 glass fuses to various accessories. When I connect my basic tester to the earth of the dual battery and touch the other end on the far end of a fuse it lights ...

There is a plate on the LHS of the engine about 4" x 2" not sure what its for but i have had coolant leak from there twice over the 20 years I've owned my Petrol GQ.

Finer Filters have one of their foam ones that fits I have had one in the maverick for 18 years, great and can be cleaned out and re oiled.

The carpet is bullet proof its the underfelt thats the problem once its wet it will stink forever, I went throught the exercise a few years back and pressure washed the carpet came up like new, bought a couple of rolls of underfelt from an auto joint and placed that in front floor wells and against ...

Had similar thing happen to my Maverick when going down steep inclines. When it made the bang did it lurch forward a bit and then regain control, mine would do that every few metres. Turned out to be the front R.H. hub was not engaging completely inside and it was slipping when under extreme force ...

All fixed now, disconnected the front section and used the press to straighten it. It pushed the tube a bit flat so turned it on its side as well and pressed that too so now the straightened section is a bit square but its only over about 4" of the length of the front bar. Backed off the one poxy ...

I wonder about where the other leg as everyone keeps referring to it would go. Its not likely to stop bending where mine has bent I wouldnt think. I am still waiting on my mate to get back to me about using his 5 ton press to straighten this out and use his forklift the push down on step when I have ...

By laminate it I guess you mean put a larger diameter piece of tubing like a sleeve over where its actually bent to reinforce the weak spot, that sounds a good idea and shouldnt be too dificult. What's the'leg' you talk of putting in.

MIne has bent the other way not sideways towards vehicle but front to back of vehicle on the vrtical section. That has then pulled up the front of the step section. A mate of mine has workshop with a 50 ton press, we are going to see what we can do with that tonight.

I'm sure you can but theres a fair few different hoses. If you are just looking for spares to carry off road I bought a top and bottom radiator hose plus I keep a length 4 foot of heater hose. That means whatever weird shaped hose goes I've got it mostly covered. There are a couple of heater hoses ...

Anyone have a link or phone number for Aus4wd I cant get them on the web, their URL goes back to unfound.

Had a slight altercation with a log on Deep Creek 2 yesterday and managed to bend the section of bar on the side rails that runs from the end of the step to the bull bar. Its only been pushed back about an inch but it means the door wont open properley so I need to get a new section of bar to go ...

I bought two sets rubbers and metal frames for only a couple of hundred a couple of years back from Bogged off here.. easy to install. he may still have the source.

Found the old topic of mine... bad news it cost nearly $100 back then, good luck but location is as I said.

I'm pretty sure if you remove your glove box its in behind there. Its a metal boxy shaped gadget about 4cm cubed. My fan wouldnt go past the 2nd speed about 5 years ago and i replaced that and all was well..

And if its the same as swapping GQ Auto to Manual hubs you will also need to purchase the drive clutch that goes onto the axle shaft.

I'd just be putting decent rubber on it for now. My Maverick went everywhere without a locker and I only put that in a few years ago as it was about the same as repairing the LSD. The Nissans are amazing vehicles and once you put your 2" lift in you will go plenty of places with some decent tyres.

Thanks everyone. It was easy once we removed the circlip the old Auto bits came off and we were back to the end of the axle where the two philips head screw heads were visible as Jessie928 said. Then we fitted the parts required to convert it (got them from Halls 4x4 wreckers $95 the lot for both ...

Found out we need shorter bolts for starters, does anyone else know whether the driveclutch end thats on the end of my Manual hub axles is buried in here anywhere on this Auto hub axle?

So once we get the Auto bits off we need to still attach the Drive Clutch to the end of the axle. That will then mate with the New Hub? Or are you saying once we get the Auto bits off the Drive clutch is actually on the axle already so that the manual hub will then bolt on and match up?

My sons auto hubs on his GQ are stuffed and we were told you can just bolt on GQ manual hubs. Bought two of them but the drive clutch on the end of my manual axle is nothing like the end of the Auto axle. Does something have to be removed from the end of the axle area for it to reveal the drive ...

Sounds just like mine did. Follow this post for my outcome and costs.

Had a leak from the clutch slave cylinder so replaced that bled and it was working a treat for 1 day. Found the hose that leads into it had a leak where the flexible hose joined at the fitting that goes into slave cylinder. Did not have hose and it looked awkward to get to so took to a workshop ...

There is a horrible noise coming from something at the front of the engine its sort of a clackity clack clack noise if anyone can follow that. I suspect its a bearing on one of the pulleys there. How can you identify which one it is (if thats it anyway) when there is so much engine noise which makes ...

Are they the same thing I know as swivel hub bearings?

Kurzo this happened to me very epxensive sounding metal on metal bang every few metres under load, and the post is here. http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=121545 It was the transfer case for me, I was like you didnt want to keep spending money on people guessing. Change over ...

OK, thanks will pull the wheel off and check it out this weekend..

This isnt technically a 4x4 question but someone will know I hope. My son has whacked a flash new steering wheel on his subaru impreza. He used a boss kit but now the indicators dont reset once you turn a corner. What as he left off. He still has the orginal wheel and I notice the little lead that ...
