Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey mate, Great to see you back!! go to a few wreckers and take some measurments. I reckon something will exist that does it :twisted: Keep in mind the bellhousing, is just a big assed spacer... run some maths and you might be able to bolt a 10mm alloy plate, or 6mm steel? to the rear of the 3B ...

Long time no post... but I'm back ;) Anyway heres the project: Helping a mate build a dedicated trail toy from an old FJ40 Its running the 3B engine and we wanted to add some lower gearing and managed to secure, new, hilux 23 spline dual adapter + 23 spline 4.7 gears for under $1000. Hes got 5.29 ...

Crazy.... 15,000 members, the freebie thread should be outa control !!! :roll: If you've ever tried to import crawlers or similar from the US you'll know how much hassle it can be with the exchange rate, freight, customs etc.... hell my first Marlin cost me $1500 !! Oh well, don't sign up... those ...

Yep I'm still here lurking in the background.

Awesome offer guys, cheers and hopefully the 4X4 crowd gets behind ya

Sold the last toy....

....doin the dev on a new one... lots of work to go but out there havin fun

yep... crap.... did u do it or someone else did and why crap like to know why it is crap I didn't do the conversion a local 4X4 workshop did... The dude running it had no end of trouble with getting smooth power and reliability.. Cost a bundle for bugga all gain.. He ditched it and went Commo for ...

Went from this:



Rolly poly to this:

Don't kid yourself mate a NA 7M isn't all that powerful so i think that the G series box will take it :) Balls!! G52 wont take it for long. Woah there.. my 7M-GE been hanging off a G52 for a couple of years and before that same box and 2 years behind a 5M-GE.. If you dump the clutch you wil kill it ...

Yep sure will, the levers will be in a different position so you may have to mod the floor

Holy old posts batman... This is a blast from the past, not checked in here for a while.. This is where the Surf went... http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2005/oops.jpg This is current config http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2006/Single1.jpg http://www.4wd.net.nz/pics_2006/mike_wilber2.JPG As far as the sump ...

i need to know if a g52 bellhousing that was bolted to a 7mgte wil bolt to a 1g-gte
cheers

The M seris bellhousing won't fit the 1G but its bloody valuable so grab it.. what about gonin for the 7M.. better low down torque than a hi revin 1G

yep... crap....

Mig it on !!!
Did that when my pully knackered the end of the crank.. ran sweet, but you can never do another belt or reco the engine

You'll need a later A340 Auto + Transfer from a Surf or Prado, then get a bellhousing from an auto Supra with the A340.. too easy

[quote="savage"]was pushed away from the 7M's due to a bloke telling me all about the head problems and just basically warning me right off it.

Yep they are a dog and would never work

As your in Oz and I'm NZ.... can't help you find an engine... check at the wreckers, Ebay, local rags etc... In Oz you'll most likely find a 7M-GE in a Cressida, probably auto tho. Try and get the bellhousing from the auto, it could come in handy for making an adapter if you can't get a manual one ...

Savage, SupraSurf is one of the converters I was referring to. Wondered what took him so long to post. I've been out of the 4X4 loop for a while trying to build a new house for the family.... you think building trucks are a mission... Thanks for the clarification on the oil pan and pickup. As ...

If you have the 4Y then you can use your flywheel on the 5M / 7M. You will need to redrill one hole and either machine the rear of the flywheel or space it out from the crank by a mm. For a bellhousing I have done one using the front half from a 4M ( W50 ) and the rear from a 2L diesel. I have also ...

I've heard the VN is a bit of a dog but for the $$$ could this be worth it ??

Those torque figures are probably supposed to be in ft/lb. Another engine to consider is the 2JZGE which is 168kW 3L I6. It will cost around $1000. They are normally in front of the W58 transmission so the bellhousing should bolt onto the G52. If not then you could consider changing the G52 for a ...

I can't be sure on the cost exactly as I also got in 8 Detroits, 3 Transfer Adapters + the 2 sets of Longs but I think they were around NZ$1200 landed.

Freight is the killer because they are long and heavy !

Nah :(

Got them in for some mates

there is a 2 week wait on them before they have any stock
so i guess i will just have to wait

Bugga...

I got two more sets rollin around the back seat of my car at the mo

I slotted a set of 30's in before xmas and did a full axle rebuild at the same time - easy fit no issues.

I have just got 2 more sets in and I notice they now have a Martack to stop you pushing the circlip past the inner star.

I'm running the 30 splines and love em
Nice to have confidence in a Lux front end for a change !!

I have given them some solid abuse and no probs so far

Get the mid 80's Leone front calipers they have the hand brake as well. I used Mitsi Galant rears but the Subaru are bigger. Hilux solid front disks do the job.

Its not too dificult - you should get into it yourself - best way to learn about the running gear.

Better to learn in the workshop than in the bush when something goes wrong.

Need to carry more welding rods

Bang for $$$ the 5M-GE can't be beaten, I'm running the 7M-GE and love it

This would be a good way to go:

"The VVT-i 1JZ-GTE cranks out the regulation 206kW at 6200 rpm with 378Nm at an incredibly low 2400 rpm. This is a 2.5-litre engine that drives like a V8! "

I've got a front 4.6 GQ R&P brand new in the box.. make me an offer ?

I stipped down the axle and fitted new king pin bearings, seals etc so I slotted the Longs in first without any probs. Took the Toy out for an overnighter up one of our steepest rocky rivers ( climbs to 900m above sea level ) and gave the Longs a good test. In reverse I towed a 60 series over some ...
