Outer Limits 4x4 Board

We have a Froza (narrow track) which is being converted to a 'toy' when the JK Wrangler arrives.

At the moment we have 1.5" King Springs in the back and have wound up Torsion bars to suit.

We need to run bigger tyres, so need more lift. Primarially working offroad (onroad manners aren't that ...

G'Day all!

Does anyone have the specs for a 1995 Feroza's Valve Clearances and the sequence. My wife's Fro is getting a bit noisy and needs an adjustment!

Thanks

Upgrade to a GU Alt

$350 bolt on, bolt off.

Heaps of usable AMPS.

Easy

Have a mate who owns a GU 3 litre. He loved it........................................................................................................

Until it went Bang on the West Coast of Tassie and cost him a tow from Strahan to Hobart plus a new engine.

I just hear too many of these going ...

Hi all!

I am looking to upgrade my current GQ TB42 as, I am afraid, she's a 89 Model and getting a bit long in the tooth.

I am looking around the $25,000 mark for the replacement and the requirements are 1999 Model at earliest, 100,000k's plus minus not much, manual.

I have looked through the ...

There's a mob in Brissy who import low k Jap engines and give warantee.

They have TB42's in stock, I think somewhere around $2,000 for the motor complete.

I would be going down that path. Rebuild would be worth more than the car from a Mechanic.

They are designed so you can run ring's around people, and never hit them!

One word to describe the turning circle- "huge"

Test drove one on the weekend, very nice (was the Sport 4 Door V6).

There's (supposedly) only 1 litre/100km difference between the Diesel and the Petrol though, the petrol's a nice engine.

Although, the thought of a peak torque band from 2,000-2,600 on the Diesel makes my mouth water!

Bolts are Torque to Yeild, they are not ment to be re-used. Buy new ones.

Cost me $60.00 for an entire set. Not worth the risk of re-using.

There's a Solinoid which controls the fuel cut out and LPG delivery system, I can't remember what it's called but it should be located on the front of the Carbie/Intake Manifold. I would bet that this is the issue and needs replacing.

Take it to a LPG Specialist.

G'Day all

Just been reading up some info here on the Diahatsu Forum regarding re-routing the Wife's Feroza Air Intake. To cut a long story short, a guy in the UK where these little cars are popular, did 3 dyno runs ...

Top stuff!

Do you have to buy the Toyota Oil or can you get the same sort of stuff from an Auto Parts supplier ie Repco?

Jimbo

No, have heard some good things and some bad things about this repair.

How long have you been using yours for like that?

And how much silicon do you need? Mine's a TB42S (Carbie)

G'Day all!

Having some issues with my Thermo Fan clutch. Basically, it's buggered!

I remember reading a thread somewhere that the Thermo Fan Clutch off a TD42 is (a) Rebuildable and (b) will bolt straight up to a TB42 waterpump, allowing you to use this clutch assembly and rebuild when it wears ...

Hey all

I have a horrible underfloor knocking on my GQ Patrol. It's right under the Passengers foot well and is now getting noiser and noiser and I am starting to feel it under my feet in the Drivers side.

I have checked out the Tech Threads, and it's not the floor pan, firewall etc as there are ...

G'day all

I have a 1989 GQ Patrol with the old Nissan 4 speed Auto.

Have had the box rebuilt about 3 years ago now as the Torque Converter died sprinkling metal shavings all through the box, this was within 6 months of purchase! Damn!

The guys who did the recondition said that I should be having ...

Or you can pull the head yourself and shoot it off to a specialist Head Reconditioner (or just buy a new casting).

I did mine and, to be honest, it was pretty straight forward. Saved about $1-$1.5k on the repair.

If you need any help, feel free to PM me.

Went through exactly the same thing and, using my physic powers, I predict (with a 95% accuracy) that it has cracked from a Rocker Arm bolt!

I had a discussion with quiet a few people over here and on the mainland and it was determined that the best fix, if you wanted to keep the car for any ...

I would be taking it out of the tank and just checking it all out. They are expensive to replace and you'll hate yourself if you buy a new one only to find that the PC Board Connection was a bit loose.

It's a 15 minute job, pull it out and check from there.

The TB42S Pick-up incorporates a Pick-up and Sender (no pump) which is the one Nissan wanted $185 for.

I think the TB42E has a Pick-up pump

The TD42 is just the pick-up/sender combo

What's wrong with it? Why do you say it's Dodgy?

And, for a new one, try $185 from Nissan. This is due to the fact that the Fuel Pick-up is incorporated into the Sender Unit. Priced one for a mate the other day. Regardless to say, we fixed it rather than replaced it!

G'Day all

I had my Auto box rebuilt about 3 years ago now, it's done another 80,000 in that time. I have been looking at the Torque Converter Lock Up kit sold on the net. I have a few questions for those who have bought the kit:

- Does it have any effects on Fuel Economy or Longevity of the ...

Who has a GQ Stock-o transmission with a Torque Coverter Lock-up kit?

Are they worth it and, if you have one, how does it effect economy/shifts?

Would they cause more wear on the Torque Converter?

Thanks

Does anyone know of a cheats way to extend Sway Bar link pins for a 2" lift.

There is way too much angle on my front and Rear Sway Bar and it's stopping a bit of articulation!

Thanks

One Oil Cooler wouldn't be enough.

I never said two wouldnt work with-out the radiator.

Depends on who you talk to regarding the 2.8

Have heard of and, indeed, know of many people with 2.8's who are extremely happy with them and they are still going strong with 400,000k's on the clock.

Others find them underpowered for the size of vehicle that the GU is , particularly off boost, but ...

A possible solution that I just read on the Patrol.com site. May be of interest.

Is your fan 5 or 8 bladed?
And that looks like a Petrol Viscous Hub, looks exactly the same as mine (TB42).
