Outer Limits 4x4 Board

N13 pulsar fits (late 80's / early 90's) I had one from a SSS for a while it was a nice wheel. A bit too small for me though couldn't see the dash properly

I call BS on running hotter. Maybe if you compared the n/a temps right next to the exhaust port with a pyro fitted in the dump pipe of the same engine after fitting a turbo they'd be higher, but that's not comparing apples with apples. Think about it more fuel + more oxygen = higher egt's

By fitting the reduction gears you are actually reducing the load on the gearbox, only the Diffs and axles will see a higher torque. Unless you mean you'll be in 5th more often? I often tow in 5th low just to cruise at a reasonable speed between harder sections to save constantly stoping to go from ...

Had a look around the new ford/mazda dual cab other day and it looked alright apart from the very small gap between tire and shock strut. It looked to me if you let you're tyres down the tyre would scrub the strut. Has anyone had this happen or noticed the lack of room there? The tire only really ...

I think what people are thinking of with hollow bar is strength to weight ratio. A hollow bar will have a higher strength to weight ratio than the same size / material solid bar. The solid bar will still be stronger.

if a rebate has been claimed on the tank you use you dont get it again, so if the tanks resonably new i'd put money on it having a rebate claimed against it. Not true, There is no limit to how many times the rebate can be claimed on the gas system itself. The only restrictions are that the rebate ...

Anyone know how strong the Bolsys ones are compared to GU CV's? They seem like a good price

I got rid of that big loop up near the firewall (couldn't really see the point of it and it was in the way of the dump pipe). Then I just pushed the brake fluid up through the bleed nipple in the slave cylinder with a syringe, worked a treat and much easier than trying to pump it down from the ...

Mine is into the top of the sump too and it is below the static oil level but I don't think it's a problem. Remember as soon as you start the engine the oil level in the sump will drop.

Hi All, I've got an 8000 pound Warn winch that I bought new a couple of years ago. I have been looking into changing the wire to rope but have noticed I could probably just sell the Warn and "upgrade" to a Tigerz 12000 pound winch with rope for probably litle or no cost. My thinking is: I'll get the ...

I bought one of those for a reverse / camp light, it's very bright and has a good spread - I wouldn't bother getting two as this one throws light almost 180 degrees

I've got the safari kit, very happy with the quality and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into every aspect of the design and all parts are top quality. eg. it comes with a 3" dump and full 3" mandrel bent exhaust with a decent flex coupling and retains all factory hanging points. The ...

The glow plugs wouldn't have anything to do with it. Most likely the fuel cut solenoid has stuck in the "on" position I would say.

It wouldn't raise the cog much just lifting the tray, it's the weight that you put on the tray that you would notice a lot more. A simple way to get a bit of an idea of the effect it will have would be to compare the weight of the tray to the sprung mass of the entire car (basically everything but ...

I have the green screen unit an had problems with mine too. My temperature was fluctuating all over the place and showing EEEE too, I sent it back for warranty and had it returned within a week of them receiving it. It had a 'cold solder' point as they called it, I assume a connection not made ...

Are you making sure they are seated properly each time when you tighten them? If the bearings are not actually wearing out that's the only thing I can think of. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think the manual says to tighten to quite a high torque then back off. This is an easy ...

Hey thanks Coxy321, lots of great info in your buildup, I will follow it in future with interest. I could change the duct to a smaller diameter and more complex bends, but my worry is that it will still be close and will probably still contact with engine rock. I think I will just get a ZD30 / TD42T ...

Yeah I think mine must be even worse than yours because even if I cut away the tray more the hose will still hit the battery. Thats funny what you say about ARB just putting it in like that - I was going to call them to see what their thoughts were but I'll probably get the "they fitt fine you ...

Hi All, I have a TD42 GQ patrol with ARB dual battery tray on the passenger wheel arch, I have just fitted a Safari turbo kit and have now found that the 'U' shaped duct that goes from the main filter on top of the motor to the turbo inlet is hard up against the battery tray. So I cut the fold off ...

I had read the grub screw behind the LH engine mount was a pain so I soaked it with rost off for a couple of days before and heated it up a bit - not heaps, just used an electric heat gun. It came out easy as.

yeah that looks like the breather that connects the gearbox and transfer. If you look at the transfercase from the back you should be able to see wher it connects - there's a barb coming out of the top of the transfer that it connects to.

I've got stuff from them before and no problems. It's probably just an honest mistake double charging you, I agree that no response to your email after 2 weeks is a bit average but they've probably got 500 emails coming in a day and it's possible they just missed yours. I'd try emailing again, but ...

Give it a go mate, if your not happy with it you can always do it again. And you can guarantee you'll get better each time. I painted a Torana a couple of years ago with no experience and it looked ok…. From a distance :oops: I would have liked to have another go at it but never got around to it. ...

I read about this 1/3 rule when I was lifting my car. I believe you have misunderstood the wording. My understanding is that you just measure the distance between the rubber bumpstop and where it contacts the diff housing and that is the measurement you are working off, no need to actually measure ...

I think if you've got the paqckage space to fit the pickup and bowl at the rear you'd be crazy not too. No matter how many / complex / well designed baffles you put in to a mid bowl sump a rear bowl sump is still a much better starting point because that's where the oil is being forced under ...

Auber instruments do a nice one. Just google Auberins and they will come up. It does degrees F or C + has an alarm output. A bit over $100 aussie too which is pretty damn good.

I am fitting a turbo atm and am not sure whether I should put gasket goo on the exhaust manifold gaskets, my worry is that a bit of goo could fall in the exhaust stream and hurt the turbo?

Thanks jessie928, what is the advantage of keeping it?.... It doesn't appear to do anything.

Hi All, I'm fitting a turbo to my TD42 GQ Patrol and the line from the clutch slave cylinder to the "upper bleed valve" – (attached to the fuel filter bracket) is in the way. It does a big loop near the firewall where the dump pipe will be. I have two questions: 1) Is this pipe required at all? I d ...

Is it a suspension lift that you fitted? If so make sure that the shocks match the springs. If the shocks are too short this will cause your problem. The exact same thing happened to me when I got a 2" suspension lift. They had given me 2" lifted springs and standard shocks so the shocks were ...
