Outer Limits 4x4 Board

How about turbo 383, running on BBQ Gas (LPG)
Big power, Good economy, but I'm thinking around $14k plus gas kit for the donk
The V8 would have to be more $$$, unless you build a 160kw+ td42 ( at the treads.)
Having said that, you made me think long and hard about parting with my Wagon and grabbing ...

Is your boat advertised anywhere with pictures ?

If the pinion is set up correctly so the coils are running straight up as they should be than you wont have any problems.
I have seen issues when the pinion is not corected and the polyairs are rubbing more on one side of the coil/ mounts and this wears the bags faster.

The new poly airs have a ...

So who has bent or damaged an alloy wheel with normal non race use then, and what was it ?

OK, then if you are serious about this I would read up all posts by 1madengineer, or give Joel at PGS4WD in Mornington, Victoria a call as they build, vehicles like this on a daily basis.

Do you want 500hp at the tyres ?
Maybe the RB family of motors is not the way to go......

I would personally ...

You were buying shitty steel rims.
Majority of alloy wheels will bend (and then buckle/crack, requiring repair) well before a quality steel rim will.

Is this based on personal experience ?
Which alloys have you bent ?
I ran Outlaw 1 piece alloys for 10 years, and never bent or damaged one.
Why ...

Nelly, what is the most powerful car you have owned/ built ?

On Simpson trips I have needed;
Fuel line and clamps, to repair the steel fuel and return lines being damaged by an errant rock thrown up by the front wheels.
Brake fluid, min. 2 litres for same incident above, also piercing brake line.
Instant metal putty stuff, to repair chassis mounted stainless ...

Send them to me and I will post them, or better yet, let me come have a look

I would build them yourself, or have someone else build them to your specs.
Bought drawers are not without their faults.
I have had outback and black widow and if I did it again I would go the black widow, as you can move them from model to model, without replacing the main unit, just the wings and ...

So how did this go ?
Everybody happy ?
Worth doing ?
I just thought about doing this for GT2850rs's

Is this the same size/dimensions that can be used for a GU ?

Someones been digging again...
Nice to see the search function being used :P
Filter mesh pointing down with brass ring up, then spring dropped in on top of filter then banjo connection bolted back on.
I agree completely, just dont forget to put the washers back on either side of the banjo fitting ...

We get a custom turbo built that offers the strength of a GT30 core with the spool speed and A/R of a Gt28 with a .64 or .82 exhaust housing depending on our application.

Is this a worthwhile replacement for my maxxed out factory turbo ?
I am using the factory cooler with just under 1 bar boost ...

WIll you be running the risk of the spring falling out by doing this ?

I am interested in the disco potato for the right price.
I haven't shopped around yet tho, what are they worth roughly ?

Which ratio is better ?

Garret GT2860RS Ball Bearing Turbo with 0.64 exhaust turbine housing
OR
Garret GT2860RS Ball Bearing Turbo with 0.82 exhaust turbine housing

I have a factory top mount cooler, and just want to replace the factory hitachi turbo with something (else) of a t3 mount to reduce ...

to afford a 98 2.8td Gu Patrol Wagon.

How much do you think you can get a 2.8 GU for ?

Comparing a GU to a hilux is like comparing apples with oranges.

I agree with Yom on nearly all fronts.

You are probably going to get a biased opinion here in the Nissan area, and most on here are into ...

Not 100% sure on your situation, but if i had $50k + to spend on a patrol, i'd hunt down a TD42T, ST trim, and something that allready got all of the aftermarket cr@p on it.
what he said.

spot on ;)

Me four, thats exactly what I did - see below :D
4.2's will hold their value a whole lot better ...

Maybe some of the facts from this thread should be stickied...
ie:

Standard GU Turbo Manifold has a t3 Flange and matches up to a Hitachi HT-18 turbo.

This manifold is different to that found on the rb series of motors

Garret gt25-28 series turbo have a t25 pattern flange, but an adapter will ...

If it is the nylon type tubing ( like semi flexible plastic)
Cut it where you want. just make sure you can re-use whichever kind of fittings you have
In some, the brass "olive" which creates the seal inside the fitting crushes to seal to the tubing, making them a single use item.

If you mean the standard 17" rims that came on the GU4's You would be looking around :

33/12.5/17 Baja MTZ's $370 each
285/70/17 Pro Comp M/T xtreme $420 each

I have the MTZ's and reckon they are the ducks guts, although they wear quickly if you put big loads on them.

Finally got a 05 ST TD42T 110k cliks snorkel intercooled winch bar (no winch) for 45k with 3y warranty

Watch the auctions - Manheim Fowles.
This is where mine came from
06 ST-S 4.2 Tdi ,Bar, Winch, Spotties, Rear Bar, Cargo Barrier, Twin Batteries, Service History, 55'ks,Ex cop car for the same ...

I have a mate with a 2.8 GU and it seems a pretty good reliable rig to me.
He has done 300,000 uneventful kilometers.
Can be chipped and coz not many ppl want them you can pick them up cheap.
Chip it for a bit more power.
Bigger exhaust seems to help too.
He regularly tows a 4metre Cat, complete ...

how much is that setup worth?

The setup with the Triple Bypass Fox Shock custom installed by ATS is somewhere in the order of $8-9K

If you have a wagon, the rear shocks enter into the cabin area, so you have to cut the floor in two places.

Pretty full on

I agree with all of bowtie landies sugestions, right up until he suggest a K&N pod filter......
I would not use one of these on a tourer with the dust you get in W.A.
They flow more, yes, No argument there.
This is because they let a lot more crap through....
ON ROAD USE ONLY

So who do this well in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne ?
I am running 1 bar of boost already and using approx 17 litres per 100 km's with temps that only get over 500 when towing.
