Outer Limits 4x4 Board

All sorted now, turned out to be a dodgy earth from battery to the block.

Thanks a heap for the help, greatly appreciated.

Thanks mate,

No worries, I will give it a go tomorrow.

Thanks again

Hey fellers,

Thanks a heap for the replies.

I just double checked the contacts are nice and flat.

Everything is pretty clean, I pulled the other side apart aswell (think it might be the bushes). All clean in there but dont have a clue what Im looking at in there.

As the starter is clicking ...

G'day all,

Just bought a 80 series with a 1hdt last last week, drove it for the 2nd time at the start of this week and it wouldnt start. I ended up jump starting it and it was all good.

Went out and bought a new battery today and turns out it still wouldnt start. Just has one 'click' in the ...

Last night was great. Pitty there were only 2 stages, but I guess Dave wanted a early start this morning.


Yes something different. I just had enough room for 2 SS.

Today was great.

Tomorrow will be a lot of fun.

Cheers
David

haha, all good mate. Wish I could have been there for the whole ...

No worries mate, should be a good night.

So is it still only one stage on the Friday night Dave?

Wondering if it's worth heading out for one stage only if thats the case

Not sure what it was like for the competitors, but IMO spectator wise it wasnt too crash hot.

No one at the front gate could give me a detailed discription of where the different classes were competing. Many other spectators wandering around asking everyone where the comp was happening.

I will ...

Thinking about heading out for it.

Any time that is too late to rock up as a spectator? Im thinking around 0900.

All well and good to say just use it as a spare!! but what if your caught long way from home and you have to use it? Will it stand up and not fail?
Now if you do get it repaired under no circumstance what so ever let the tyre down for traction, run it only up high pressure. Yes there are tyre shops ...

Plug it mate and it will be good for a spare

Mine have done the same after about 2000km's. Never bothered me if its ugly or not.

Will see how they go from now on.

Have them on my GQ in 33's and had them on a Sierra in 31's.

They went well in the Sierra and are going great on thw GQ. Performed well last weekend in the mud.

Wouldnt have a clue what they are worth though...

Thanks mate. Did you do the body lift yourself? Had any unwanted attention?

Thanks mate, and they drive alright? What rims are they?

Thanks fellers.

What do you recommend? Mmaaxx what are you running at the moment?

G'day all,

Has anyone out there fitted 33's onto a new IFS Hilux with only a 2" spring lift?

Wondering if they will rub, scrape etc. Looking at some 33's on 15x8 rims to whack on as a weekend play set.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I use Castrol 80W90 differential oil.

Disregard, found it on the scenic rim website.

Castrol VMX 80 for gearbox, transfer and diffs.

What did it cost ya mate? And where did you get it from?

I'm driving a 96 model with a 1.3L GTI motor in it. Starting to get sick of having no locker and have been told that the diff centers are hard to come by (4.11 ratio in 1.3L housing) so therefore I dont really want to weld up the rear.

EDIT ...

Will a normal sierra lockrite locker fit maruti diff?

Turns out it was the fitting of the black line. I think I might need to order a new piece including the two brass bolts.

Will give arb here a call and see what they can do.

After reading the doc you sent me Daniel it looks like the middle blue line (blue line on the top) is the 'exhaust' line that goes into the chassis to vent off.

So the line on the left is the line to the compressor and the black one is the line to the locker (which is the leaking one).

Cant seem ...

Daniel thanks a heap mate, I replied to your pm.

So what is the black line for? Why is the air and oil coming out of it?

Not to many 4x4 shops around Ipswich that could do it I think. Have it booked into ARB next week but they said they hadnt heard of a purge valve, hopefully they can fix it and ...

Also the little brass button on the right side can be pushed in and out.

The oil has been leaking while the locker has not been engaged also
