Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Now I'm confused! :oops: It's not that hard, but getting it right most certainly is. Thats why you're best to leave it to the workshops with many years experience on this stuff. my thoughts also! its all well and good turning the fuel screw but thats not the whole picture on how it all works and ...

i got a turboglide turbo kit of my truck so know their quality is pretty good. as for their workmanship im not sure as i fitted it myself. but he seems to know a bit about whats going on with diesel engines. also for what its worth. pull the top of the compensator off. pull the diaphragm out. wind ...

Give Joel at 4b fab a call he is seriously a guru when it comes to tuning yeah i though about giving Joel a call, trouble is with him being so far away i wouldnt be able to get him to tune it and run it on the dyno. its easy to explain things over the phone but when it comes time to doing it and ...

sorry, its in the dump pipe.

hey guys, sorry if this sounds short and to the point but i just accidently deleted a big write up... anyway, this is a sort of update to truck i bought a few months ago. Gu st wagon td42t which was stock as a rock engine wise 290k , since then i have fitted a boost/egt gauge, boost controller, 3 ...

well i found a thread on the patrol forum which said that the Scotts Rods exhausts are a good product and the best value for money so il be ordering one probably next week.

also found a FG XR6 cooler which is larger then the BA,BF so im thinking il grab it cos i can get it cheap.

dont mean to sound rude but is there any reason you left the boost at 11psi, were you temps getting high or just decided that is enough? can i assume that if you were at 13-15 psi that you would have approx 90-95kws. i think iv read that 15psi is its max efficienty for the factory turbo and you will ...

Are you sure they are 3.9 ratios? I thought all td42 had 4.1s. I'm running 35s and just went to 4.3 from stock 4.1s, so I am half way back to standard. Better on road. I am getting around 14l per 100kms and mostly weigh in at 2680kgs with me in it. Gu's run 3.9 in 4.2td wagons. The utes get 4.1s. 3 ...

due to the site crash it looks like iv lost a few replys.. so anyway iv had the truck for a month now and have found that basically every fill up is the same.im getting 15.5l/100km, my truck weighs 3.1t plus most days and im towing a work trailer probably 50% of the time which weighs 500kg emtpy and ...

Oh and I also forgot to mention that when I had the air intake off while making my lid I noticed a hell of a lot of oil build up from the breather pipe to the rocker cover, so I plan on fitting an oil catch can as well. But for now should I pull the cast pipe off that attaches to the turbo and give ...

Hi guys, sorry to post up yet another thread about the td42t. i know there is a heap of info on the forum and the gu bible and also some good reads on the patrol forum but i wanted to share my first thoughts and my wish list and see if im dreaming or not.(i have searched ;) ) ok so its a 2000 st ...

i miss my stainless snorkle, although mine had rubber bends they look the BALLS!
new truck has a safari..still saves me making/buying one though!

cool thanks heaps for that, didnt even think to check the nissan site regarding gear ratios :oops: so if i go the 08 box basically all my gears will be the same apart from a lower 1st, which probably isnt such a bad thing for clutch life/towing etc. and it will bolt up! well that is question pretty ...

im not sure i can really help, but its nothing vacume related is it?
only reason i say is my tb45 used to stall sometimes when the brake pedal was pressed consistantly while stationary(i was obviously bored in car waiting for something ;-))

Hi guys, i just have a simple questions which i need a pretty right answer :P so i have a gu 00 model td42t wagon with a blown 5th and iv been trying to find out exactly what gearboxes will fit strait up 100% and be the same gearing. i spoke to a guy last night off the patrol forum who will in the ...

Don't bother with the Holden pump. Get someone to custom make a bracket to get the Nissan pump mounted. Iv been down this path ;-)

auto wont help with my old tb45 when i bought it, it was stocko apart from bullbar and towbar and i got 16l/100km on petty round town taking it easy, highway about the same. put gas on(mixer type), 33's, work rack, draws, 2-3 inch lift and just about every fill on gas was the same 24l/100km town and ...

i had the same problem back in the day with my 91 rb30 gq. its some extras over the 4.2l models but still no fuel light! has the space in the dash cluster and in the book it said its was there in overseas models but oz missed out... very annoying! not sure if its even possible to wire up, someone on ...

Redhead only needs right boot at the entrance because half the clowns there use too high a tyre pressure and chew it to shit. I run 5psi in my zook and can 2wd it without wheelspin. Mates in cruisers/patrols run 6-8 and can do the same. You don't " need" a locker on the beach, but on dune climbs it ...

I have a 98 GU patrol that i want a little more power out of. A mate of mine has done the v8 conversion and has had no end of dramas, i was wondering if any one had supercharged the standard 4.5 litre petrol motor and also run it on gas. I was thinking of running an after market computer possibly ...

Cheers JoseM, very informative! I don't think I will do both 3.9 and 35's at the moment as that could feel like quite a step down in power.. First step for me will definitely be borrow some 35's for a wknd and take them for a whirl and check out the difference! (anyone keen to lend a set over the ...

By loosening up your shifting do you mean the way the clutch takes up and transfers power to the wheels? Sorry to sound dumb... Also with the 13% shouldn't that be 6-7%. Only being when I first bought my truck with the standed tires It said 100km/h was 2300. Checked with gps and I was only doing 95 ...

Also, you could get Marks Adaptors a ring, they may know something I dont, since they sell the stuff.. Now, just out of couriosity... Is 200rpm really worth all that trouble? Think it will save you all that much in gas? I ask because i know the distances you drive "down under" are not to be ...

I have H260's in 4.1, 4.3 and have heard of 4.6 but never seen one. I have not heard of any other ratios. For those calling them a land anchor, I have more ground clearance with a shaved H260 than I did stock H233b I am talking standard housings and on 33s!! they are land anchors :lol: the rear ...

IMO unless forced induction is used 3inch is wayyyy to big on a lazy tb45. 2 3/4 max, I had a 2.5 inch mandrel high flow jobby on mine with pacemakers and that was plenty! Noise became a problem once I tried bigger plus no gain in power!

Ogjon, what ratio's are the ones you are selling and are they def out of a h260?! Il pm ya on the price if they are suitable! Just spoke to Brunswick and marks, Brunswick fit 3.9 to all there 233 diffs and if a patrol comes in with a 260 they swap it for a 233 then fit the 3.9's Marks 5th gear ...

Dan, I didn't even think of calling Brunswick.. But what ever they have I assume it's pretty pricey.. Il giv them a call and see what they can do! As for 35's does your truck feel boggy/sloppy running them or you can't really tell the difference!? Turbo gu,sorry should have stated that my truck was ...

Hey guys I need some advice on my gearing options for my gu with the h260 rear diff. Engine is a blown 304 V8 in a gu running 33's with 4.1 diffs and while away on hols doing some highway driving loaded with gear towing a trailer and beach work etc I reckon I could quite easily drop to 3.9's as my ...

I to had a bucket of puss tb45, tried all the cheapish mods, exhaust,filters etc I ended up throwing in a 304 5.0l which was still inadequate so I put a top mount blower on it with gas injection and guess what..? I'm finally happy!!
My advice is turbo and gas inject it and you won't look back!!

I would suspect a wheel bearing also. Had a similar experience not so long ago. Driving along, weird vibe all of a sudden so pulled over checked every thing. All looked alright. Took off again and Vibe was gone. Got home and pulled the front wheel bearings out and bingo, front right inner was no ...
