Outer Limits 4x4 Board

cheers. well theres only one spring not two in mine. and its snapped dead in the middle. was always hard to turn but i put to much pressure on it and i think thats what caused the snap, plus it was coverd in rust. i had the same issue only i had no rust on mine....made it rather difficult for the r...

my drover had huge death wobbles when i brought it.

I put new tyres on it and the wobbles were gone. i may have been bad tread wear causing it also?? just a thought?

well brenny it is at your place.

ill sort my shit out and get there one day soon to chop some up

heres mine in its latest state.

im for making your own.

ive got a sheet of plate here and plan on making mine real soon.

just get a card template and trace onto metal. grab the jigsaw and cut away.

that said. checker plate isnt the cheapest thing floating around. i got mine for free

also hides my nasty rust patches

last carby 13b's were made in the rx5...that means its a pretty old engine.30 odd years of wear on plates and housings.

id never buy a secondhand rotor engine.seen way to many explode over the years. all of mine were new out of the box builds. big money but ya get what ya pay for in rotors.

yup that looks pretty similar.

ill talk to my mate bout that box.

things arent easy to find here for diahatsu's...nor are they cheap.

im guessing all the boxes are the same thru the rocky models?

3 rods isnt anywhere near enough

ive seen up to 20 sticks used in welding centres.

transfer case is missing a whole lot of teeth of a whole lot of gears.

a very unhappy piece of equipment

i paid $50 for both sides for mine.

on the box is network automotive kits and part number is 1905.

kits for 1300 84 onwards

the 1.3/2.6 argument has been goin on for years on the rotary forums.

its been like it for years and will be for years to come.

pretty much its a way to disadvantage the engine as it whoops anything of a similar size with ease in both power and torque.

Hey guys.

a mate of mine has a 82 f50 and has kinda destroyed his transfer case.

now we are after a cheap easy fix.

swap gearboxes?

change transfers?

rebuild transfer?

other options?

any help/advice is most appreciated.

or if anyone has any parts they'd donate/sell let me know.

cheers

10a 12a- single rota. 13B-twin rota 20B-Tripple rota.(cosmo) www.3rotor.com all 10a and 12a were TWO rotor engines. 10a= 1 litre displacment (approx) 12a= 1.2 13b= 1.3 20b= 2.0 ive been playin with these engines for 10 or so years and am having thoughts of a injected 6 port s4 engine into my drover...

ive got 15x8 speedy rims on mine with 31inch tyres. they are the -30 offset. cost me 55 bux each even here in tassie.

id buy rims over spacers anyday

250 for custom is probably cheaper than what the off the shelf ones are gonna cost.

id go with the custom ones that way you know they arent gonna hit anywhere and wont need further moding

i went from 26 inch tyres and SPUA on my drover to 31's and SPOA in a weekend and it actually drives and rides better with the 31s

no noticeable difference with the 26 and SPOA cept it looked gay

rebuild is what id be doing.

another engine unless brought new would be abit of an unknown IMO.

there is probably a reason no one has them...or owns up to having them.

cheaper isnt always better.

Id think it would ride like a skateboard and flex about the same.

big end bearings.

musta been revved DAMN hard. mines seen 7k more than once

Well if i had land or access to land with that kinda terrain you would never get me out of my drover.

whole lot of fun to be had there

i feel sorry for you mainlanders that have track closures.

pretty much can go anywhere anytime i please on the north west of tassie.

forestry are even as kind to give me detailed maps of all their areas

How many extra amps can you get from a stock sierra alternator by getting it rewound? and how cost effective is it?

it was calculated that with road tyers as 31's going at 62mph ... I'll be doing 3412RPM :? my question is that ok its alittle high but its not in the 4000 any idea how much more fuel it will chew because of it? the 3412 rpm you talk of is what mine pretty much read with stock everything. now its al...

40L for a undented tank.

majority dont hold much more than 35 due to being smacked on everything

Now with SPOA measures 1080mm same tyres and combo as above.

31's to come tomorrow when its not dark

in my experience

white=water/steam

blue=oil

black=fuel

with your dodgy idle maybe a head gasket?

sounds like a uni joint to me

try twisting the joints looking for play in them. there should be none

you dont have to drop the steering shaft....just be careful when removing.

mine took maybe 15 mins cost me 25 bux from the wreckers.

easy if you take notice when you pull the old one out.

i found it much easier to go out and buy new rims when i wanted some decent offset. for the 55 bux a rim i paid for my 15x8's its alot less screwing around than chasing 2nd hand f100 rims.

will have spoa coversion and 31's done in afew weeks so ill recheck then.
