Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It was a question,

Got afew covers lying around so ill swap it over and see how it goes

just got around to putting another td42 into the gq, been driving it around for abit and ive noticed theres oil running out from the filler cap. before you ask yes ive tried numerous caps and checked the rubber o ring inside the side and yes the cap is on properly

Running a schwitzer turbo on my gq at the moment and it has done the oil seals again after only getting a rebuild 10,000ks ago. My Q. is ive been offered a hypergear turbo (not a ball bearing) but its equivalent in size to a gt3071. Are these a suitable size turbo or are they to big or small to run ...

i bought 1 for my td42 when it was going, sender had a diffrent thread to what was on thermostat housing, easy solved take the housing off and get another thread tapped, couldnt remember but i think i had mine fill welded hoping not to warp the housing but it all worked out ok

what would the average goin rate be for a workshop to do rings, i dont have the time to do it

righteo ive had a bit of a hunt around the countryside and ive found a rebuilt exchange for about $3500. problem is im going to sell the bloody thing this is the second motor 2 shit the bed (this 1 bought from jessie928) by the way 12months ago!!! and only done 5000ks on it.... im just gunna wait ...

how do i get onto nissan about these crate motors ie local dealer or head office in aus, also do they come with some sort of warranty?

took my gq td42 into the mechanic today and got the dreaded news that 3 cyliners dont even have half the compression they should. Problem is this is the second motor thats s''t itself, 1st was my fualt from running too much boost, this 1 well i probably deserved for buying u used td42 for $1500 ...

yeh still got the gu but is stock and probably looks like ill be working now

i had same problem after trying for big numbers on dyno with alot of boost dropped all its water,heaps of smoke then shut it off. tried to start it 5 minutes later and idled like a v8 with a massive cam in it with heaps of blow bye = rings,holes in pistons,stuffed head, full rebuild qoute was $9000 ...

wont be attending this year motors still in sydney

looks like motor wont get here till early next week so its gunna be cutting it fine but ill get there one way or another

ill be there depends if i get new motor put in yet it hasnt left sydney so hopefully the gq will be there otherwise its gunna be a trip in the gu and it wont make 2 far

went into an exhuast shop here in mackay on friday and was quoted 1200 bucks for a single 3inch stack including dump pipe from turbo when he told me the price i picked up jaw and walked out, going to suss out a few more prices before i start the new job 2moro 1200 im not paying that for just a bit ...

ill be coming down from mackay to spectate and a few of the mud beers boys from brissie are coming up. first time at this event what are the dates,spectator entry fees and where abouts around rocky is it, is it over a weekend whats the campin like few questions there sorry fellas

yeh not going 2 go with swapping parts becuase after i put pistons,sleeves and rings in the motor going to cancel the rego and do abit of chop chop gring on the gq and look into doing some comps but thanks for the replies, are there different exhust brands that are giving different results becuase i ...

upgraded from the gq yesterday it had a major bottom end problem from a little to mutch boost only bout 20psi lol. anyway it had a 4'' suspension lift with 2in body and wondering if i can change the parts over onto the gu.ps there both coil front and rear gu is a 04gu111 st. one thing i have found ...

yeh thanks fellas got it out today using backhoe was the easiest option

trying to do it without pullung anymore shite of it just means more you have to put back on

Having abit of trouble finding something that will lift my motor out damm 6inch lift and 35's. Have rang a few places and there engine cranes arnt high enough to clear the body. Have thought about removing front wheels but doing this i think would make it rather difficult lifting it out becuase of ...

Yeh thats who ive spoken 2 about them are they reliable and what kind of power figures are people getting also fuel consumption

Re the turbo not fitting when i spoke 2 brunswick diesel direct he has one in his gq and said they nilly drop straight in aslong as you have atleast 50mm body lift. Are these motors reliable as ive heard they make big power stock for a diesal ofcourse as if im going to be spending 20g getting motor ...

Has anybody got one of these in their gq as my 4.2 just blew up on the dyno and im looking at the idea of putting one in. Just looking 4 the pros and cons with them as a few mechanics have said itd be a waste of money fixing the old motor if im after power and torque with reliability

its rea;;y starting to shit me this boiling even changed the oil today to check for water in a more indepth approach, im unsure on the condition of the turbo and dont really know how to tell but its still making its usual whistle n wat not with a decent amount of black smoke it has a dts turbo kit ...

im running 16psi but with 35s on it maxes out around 12-14psi, stock radiator but what i cant understand is that the temp guage never goes over half

yeh ive got the turbo timer set at 30secs and if its over 200 ill wait till then until i turn the ignnition of n the turbo timer kicks in, how would i adjust the cap to increase pressure? the water temp guage sits about 1/4 and sometimes sits on half, is there anyway to test the factory guage\sender ...

ive had a quick check of the oil when i changed it and no water in it just burns a bit of oil i think thats just diesels. egts on highway sit around 250-300 hard driving around town will get 450-500 and the highest ive had offroad is about 680, could be overfueling only problem is im atleast a 2hr ...

been having this problem for a few weeks now and ive tried all the easy fixes like thermostat,new radiator cap, new coolant but im stuffed as to why when i turn it off it starts hissing out the overflow then starts to steadily drip out of it for about 5 minutes anyone else had this problem becuase ...

mine does the same thing when in 4high when i turn makes a few creakin noises in the front end i cant find anything and neither can the mechanic x 2 so ill just wait till something gives way up front then ill know what was making the noise
