Outer Limits 4x4 Board

from what i can understand,this forum is basically a kangaroo court, considering nobody knows all the facts that simon told me he would post the glow plugs on an honesty basis before i send the money, and considering i only recieved them on the 11th of jan, its only taken me just over a week to pay,...

i have paid D#@KHEADS its all sorted out.

just after some info on how much work it would be and if anyone has done it before. basically im getting a whole GU TD42T and gearbox and wondering if it all just bolts straight inmy SWB GQ (already diesel and manual) and if i need to get a computer wired up or something, im just completly in the da...

i bought one of cheezy's snatch straps a while ago for $50, i have taken this thing to hell and back, ive broken a TJM OX snatch and ironman doing tamer recoverys, so pm cheezy and se if he has anymore highly recomended cos im keen to get another one soon

when you changed the FWH, did you change the drive clutch that it locks onto aswell, cos after time they round off and with enough pressure they unlock with alot of noise mine was doing aswell until i changed them both.

hey guys, I heard from a mate that a comp GQ SWB has replaced the standard sliding windows with perspex on hinges with trademans locks. Just wondering if hes on here or if someones done something cool like this, just hunting for ideas to do to mine as ive caught someone in my car because of the stoc...

hey mate the tanks are mounted to the chassis so body lift wont help it, ive bashed mine a few times and got some nice dents in the bottom but that was doing some really stupid stuff, so for general 4bing you'll be safe, the first thing to go with the stock tanks are the spot welds around the edge. ...

cheers redMav i think thats my only choice to change transfer.

hey guys ive got n 89 SWB GQ TD42, just put a new diff in fully rebuilt and went out this weekend and found a very bad banging noise every so often when in a bogg hole or up hills, basically when i had foot flat and a bit of strain on the driveline. after the bang(metal on metal felt throught out th...

the are different when looking straight at the stub axle it has a flat side towards the back of the car where the brake caliper mount on the swivel. it isnt vertical to how it mounts either its slightly higher and diagnal.

me and some mates have had this problem a couple of times and found its a combination of things like 1. to much grease in the free wheeling hub and drive clutch 2. both hub nuts on to tight 3. working with 2, free wheeling hubs pulling hub outwards against hub nuts and stub axle. they way we "f...

get the gregorys manual and do it yourself,

wheel bearings are around $70 a side from repco a tube of greese from supercheap and the only real specialty tool you need is a hub socket and punches. for first timers expect an hour a side.

hey all ive done a quick search and cant really find all that much but im after what some people have done with the rear windows on the GQ SWB , as i need new seals i am after anyone who has put solids in or whar im thinking is cut perspex and held in with black silicon, would that be alright? any a...

hey guys, i put my car back together the other week and just did my mates today (both GQ deisels, front wheel bearings and hub rebuild) the thing that gets me is the fact that it spins freely until i put the free wheeling hub on and tighten it up its very hard to spin and then makes some very wierd ...

hey guys im after some feedback on the avm hubs for my nissan patrol GQ SWB my originals are pretty well gone and need to know what would be better when im practically looking at similar prices.

there manual locking hubs, and the passenger wheel is locked in drive while the oppostie side is free. i just took off the free wheeling hub and it looks alright it pops up when i turn it to lock and goes back down on its own when turned back to free. any help guys? its still making the shaving noise.

hey guys short and sweet i have an 89 SWB GQ patrol deisel. just overhailed the cv's on both side with new seals and all that but front passenger side seems to be locking in and spinning the driveshaft open diff. the hub gets extremely hot and makes a weird noise like metal shaving on metal, diff ha...

hey guys ive wired up my dukes of hazard air horns but the thing is i have to hold the button down,
is there a setup to push the button once and it plays through?

similar to the windscreen wipers on then off and they keep going til they get back(if thats a good example).

hey guys im posting for a mate. he has a GQ shorty safari model 24 volt, he has an inverter running his fridge and head unit, and needs to take his head unit off to turn it off. the other day we tried to start his car and it was flat battery because the invernter draining the batterys for a little o...

and CWBYUP thats just straight nissan V's toyota and we all know who wins that by your response.

they might work some times for some people but the claws dont do it for me ricky, and i want to try something else that we havnt used.

hey guys i just need some help with some new muddys for the GQ, im running 35x12.5 R15 copper STT's and im really happy with them but find them a little slow in the thick mud. ive been looking at the maxxis, i want to stay away from the mickeys and simex's as mates run them already and i havnt seen ...

it was in some sloppy mud for a little ive sprayed it a little but it only helped that little bit

i was out in the mud and found that my car wouldn't move anymore, when i was under high rev's it will start to move but with a clutch burning smell was wondering what it would be or is my clutch stuffed if so what the best clutch kit to put in a 4.2 pet lwb mav

what about zip ties they way my car rattles and vibrates i think the whole car is held together by them.

yeah it sorta sounds like some air or some really light metal scrapping,
it was just normal driving around, ill be checking everything in the morn, but if it was the exhaust somewhere wouldnt it make the same noise in 1st and 2nd when giving it a bit?

hey guys, i was just on my way home tonight and started hearing a noise under the car when drive with a bit of speed in 3th and 4th gear, didnt want to push it up to try 5th, but its like a ssshhh... ssshhh... ssshhh noise that is only under power and with a bit of speed. i drive an 89 Patrol SWB, T...

cheers for the feedback guys, i redid all the wires with inlince fuseable ones. and the reason im whinging is the fact that nissan wanted so much for stardard issue fuses and told me no one else had them in victoria, and that would have to ship them down, being a big company they are and with how ma...

bloody nissan the greedy pricks, ive blown my ign/starter fuse and they say we dont stock them we can get them in 3 days, well thats good but to say nobody else has them or no auto elec can re-bridge the fuse is just S@#t, and to charge me bloody $18 for a bloody 65A fuse, my question is, does anyon...
