Outer Limits 4x4 Board

my hilux has a dyna box fitted and i cant select reverse. all other gears work and select fine. i thought it might be the linkages or something, but i had a look and it isnt obstructed. so any ideas what the problem could be?

also, if i need a replacement, will a 5 speed from a IFS hilux or a 100 ...

i still wouldnt go t700, waste of money imo, people lunch built ones with budget 304s all the time, jump on streetcommodores.com forum and see for yourself. the torque of a 383 will kill it no worries.

4870 might be okay, meant to be up there with t400 in strength, but dont know how much one will ...

hey, visit patrol4x4.com website, there is a bit more action in the MQ-K section than here.

dont like your chances of bolting the 2 together, though i havent tried. if your swb is an l28, i have seen someone mount a rb30 from a vl commo to the mq box, all that was needed was to slot a few holes ...

i think i read in street machine that when they upgrade a t400 to suit high horsepower apps they remove the band that allows them to engine brake.

doesnt matter if you go an old 3 speed or a new 4 speed, third gear is probably always 1:1 and 4th would just be an overdrive. if you were dead-set keen ...

thanks for the info V8Patrol, what you have said was what i was hoping to be the case.

i am keen as to v8 my patrol. its originally a diesel 4 speed swb and has been half converted to 5 speed (plates were used to join the new gearbox mount location to the old chassis mounts). i have pulled the motor and the 5speed has a longer shaft than the spare diesel 4 speed i have, so i presume ...

Think you ned to stop the axles going right in to the centre i think? try gen chit chat for exact results. yer i think thats the idea as it cant move out because there is still the clip on the end to stop the axle going too far into the cv. but i know mine is almost at the centre anyway, hence why ...

ah, makes sense now (i read this about the martac http://www.island4x4.com/4x4tech/axle/toyotaaxletack/index.html).

so the problem i had was the end of the axle connected to the gq cv in a different position to the mq cv. this cause the overall axle+cv length to be longer and it would not fit into ...

its just an open centre, but i think i get what your saying, actually Wendles post makes more sense now too.

what do you guys use to trim your axles?
and is it essential to have the clip on the very end of the axle to hold the cv? i like the idea of being able to just pull it off, if something ...

well i got it off, it broke the clip as expected but also smashed the end off some of the splines. spewin.
i compared the 2 axles, they seem near identical. i put the cv on the alternative axle and put it in the car, i did all this without the c-clip that holds the cv to the axle. its all good now ...

axle in the cv to far? that was my prob with that conversion martac it like some one else sugested well i didnt get it fixed but this might be the problem. i am using a different axle to the one that was in the diff. measured the one with the cv and it is 2mm shorter to the c-clip than the one that ...

i dont have any steering rods connected at all, so keys aint the issue. i cant grab the swivel hub and move it on the 'stuck' side.

i also havent progressed past the stub axle, no brakes or f/w hubs, so there is no need for the c-clip (i also read that you dont use the c-clip for the gq conversion ...

hi, put some brand new stock gq cvs into my mq for an upgrade. also re-did all the bearings, seals etc. put the RH (drivers) side axle+cv in, and attached the stub axle + backing plate. all is good, moves freely. left it at that as i am waiting for some new discs, so went to put the axle+cv in the ...

i'm not up on exactly why but no you don't need to hit that high.
you have to remember its only a tiny tiny about of water/meth that goes in compared to the large amount of air thats flowing through. remembering back to high school, i think the reason is based on 'energy'. the meth/water is taking ...

good alternative

lpg, never even contemplated it. the chev (307) has not won me over which is why i just want to get rid of it.

current gearbox, i am still not sure what it is, some gm 5speed. its not the greatest though, crunching second etc. this is why i thought to just get rid of it. i am thinking it might be a ...

hi, i have an overlander and am getting sick of its mechanicals so i am dreaming of some alternatives. my biggest hate of it is the carby on the small block chev makes it flood, so im thinking i need a fuel injected motor, and i love the holden 5L so i am thinking of going that (plus i have a ...

as long as your not doing doing burnouts i would presume so. my mates got a 253 and does clutch dumps (2wd), it still seems fine.

ive gota 40 odd piece sidchrome socket+spanner set. got it back ~2006 and i only work on my cars on the weekends. its pretty good, i like the spanners and sockets, but like someone mentioned earlier i find the spanners a bit thin and they dig into my hand bad on occasions. and someone else also ...

if the different bloke gives u a mod plate or watever and its all legit, then i would go with him lol

can anyone help?

after a bit of reading around on the forum, i think the oil seals at the centre need replacing. is there an easy way of doing this? can i just pull the centre out, change the seals and just put it all back in exactly the same and not worry about setting the backlash and all that ...

my car would sit 40-50% on the gauge when traveling through the dunes etc it wasnt until i gave it a real flogging that the temp would get any hotter, i attribute this mostly to the turbo being cranked on. i was doing a bit of maintanence on the motor and discovered this as well http://www.patrol4x4 ...

hi,
i am in the middle of doing all the bearings etc in my front diff. i got a kit and its come with some seals and o-ring that i cannot work out where they go. here is the kit i got http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=350125680612 . i have worked out where ...

i havent done this conversion but i've got a v8 vn so thought i would make some comments, hopefully they help :?

i dont know if speedo problems where mentioned (you probably just stick with the gq dash anyway) but my commo is manual with 4.11 diff gears (standard 3.08) so this puts the speedo out ...

my mate purchased a former 24v diesel with a 253 in it.

the people that done the conversion retained the 24v system and alternator for the cars electrics and had hooked the starter, coil, fuel pump and thermo fan to 12v, which they took from the drivers side battery (PS- factory wiring takes its ...

neRok.

Did u buy this from a guy named Justin?
dont remember, but it sounds familiar. was in currambine near the train station

and to 98'Lux, just went out and had a look. didn't see QR anywhere, but there is a tag that says HZ cab chassis, built 78. so at least its newer, but no factory chev ...

thanks for all the info!

the rear diff is roughly the same size as the front and looks the same, so probably 44 as well then.

tried hunting around for the gearbox on google at lunch, couldnt find it though. might have to go put a post on a chev forum or something to find out. same as the power ...

Just got myself an overlander, joy :D. I bought it off a mid 40's husband and wife, it was the wife car and was given to her years ago by her uncle. apparently he built it himself heaps long ago, she said she would borrow it to drive when in her 20's. so now i am trying to work out what bits i have ...

i was thinking about doing this on my mq. I read in another thread on here that the reason for all the relay rods is to keep them all fairly horizontal, which makes it easier to steer or more 'direct' or something.

i can see in hoppy's pic that it is fairly angled. did u notice any difference in ...
