Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am assuming this is for offroad only? I have in my head that emergency braking systems ("handbrake") must be entirely mechanical and cable operated. Not sure where I read it, but i know I have read it in a vehicle standard somewhere. Plan B Fit a secondary calliper assembly to the rear. It wouldn ...

Mitsubishi Triton, plus a few others I believe

Rail pressure okay? Dirty fuel at some point? Injection system clean past the fuel filter? Fuel pressure regulator clean? This would be the thing that I would be looking at - a piece of debris clogging open the orifice or the mechanism otherwise malfunctioning. Check line pressure versus return ...

Early Discovery could potentially be modified with a sunroof in the back to give almost a panoramic view roof but as stated above torsion on the body through any significant body flex (even on sand) will not be your friend. Best bet as above, anything with NO roof jeep, early Toyota 40 series ...

"Never miss" reading.

We could almost undertake a resto of our own with the information here.

Did it stop suddenly or lost power gradually over 100m or so?

First would generally indicate ECU or injection drive failure, second would generally indicate fuel pump/fuel pressure issues.

Any more information available?

A little bit baffled by what's up with my 5L hilux motor. It's been running a turbo for around 5 years with no dramas. This year I've noticed that the rocker cover vent hose has been venting a hazy oily smoke that wasn't there previously. The gas seems to pulse out of the vent hose at around 1 ...

More information would be great.

In time with wheel rotation? Suspension movement? Recent 4wding? Conditions of 4wding? (mud, sand, etc) How long have you had the problem?

Had a good look under the vehicle?

Tried a high pressure hose around the brakes?

In general most vehicles have a main fuse box under the bonnet. This is the one that usually does the engine elecricals. (ie, fuel pump, a/c, etc )

This would be one best left to someone with a workshop manual....

DEADLY if the airbags get triggered accidentally and go off with your head too close to the airbag, or to the explosive pack.

this problem surfaced almost immediately after changing a battery... is it possible that the red terminal touching with the bonnet could be the problem because i didn't get the red cover fully over the terminal Absolutely could be the problem if it is a close fit. Has there been any issues with ...

Try your fuel filter then drain the fuel tank (usually a drain plug at the bottom of the tank) If it's been sitting in a car yard for an extended period of time with a 1/4 full tank of fuel, you have probably picked up some condensation/grit/sludge that has travel down to the filter once you ...

With battery disconnected, engine block to radiator coolant is still 0.47 which is confusing me.

two dissimilar metals (iron, aluminium) and an ionic solution connecting them, with your meter across both metals = a battery.

Check you ignition requirements too, the EFI usually handles the ignition from a Hall effect sensor on the distributor spindle - may not be compatible with the GQ's ignition system.

May be better with the appropriate flasher unit. I believe both Narva and Hella make a suitable LED compatible flasher unit.

Asking a very basic question, but have you taken an earthstrap from the radiator direct to the engine , and not simply to the chassis? Contrary to most opinion, the biggest, fattest earth wire goes direct from the battery to the engine to act as a return for the starter. All chassis and frame earths ...

Could be a leaking cyl-waterjacket headgasket too. May close itself up due to thermal expansion as the engine gets warm, but in the interim pressurise the coolant enough to blow coolant out of the overflow bottle. This could explain why the overflow bottle may not cope with the "expansion" of ...

A bit of lateral thinking would place 2 CVT mirrored over each "axle" (not quite accurate, but to give location), 1 CVT per wheel. Both CVT's could track each other for the gross movement of ratios and you could tweak the individual ratios for a differential type effect.. Doing this for all 4 ...

You might find registration/roadworty in QLD an issue... (6" lift, 37" tyres, and nothing else QLD mod plated) First thing would be to find an engineer who could get it past Q Transport.

May have missed it but what are you going to do about reverse?? Good luck with it tho Drive train goes- Bike engine - Bike gear box - sprocket and chain (further reduction in gearing Zuk gearbox - zuk transfer case - diffs. So that zuk gearbox will take care of reverse. I may have missed it, but if ...

Have a lookthrough the sections here on the different makes and models and when you have something more concrete formulated come back again. The question you have asked is too big and too vague. There would not be one vehicle that you could discount in your given selection criteria.

I would think they would be working at vastly different pressures at various times and would end up adversely affecting the operation of each item.

Have you seen any manufacturer take this short cut? therein lies the clue........

damkia yes it does have a 1st gear ratio of 2.751:1 but thats in the bike box but you have 1st to 5th in the bike box and 1st to 5th in the zook box so you shouldn't need to shift from low to high on the run anyway and if you no anything about suzuki crawler gears you can't really shift on the fly ...

Gear ratio ist 36/14(2.571) Gear ratio 2nd 32/18(1 .778) Gear ratio 3rd 29/21(1.381) Gear ratio 4th 27/23(1.174) Gear ratio Sth 28/27(1.037) Gear spread is only 2.48:1 Most vehicle gearboxes have a 1st of around the 3.5:1 ratio and a 5th around 0.8:1 giving a gear spread of about 4-4.5:1 Upshot of ...

Try graphite powder, commonly used by locksmiths for the same anti-gunk collecting properties.

The 10K comes with 9mm rope not the 10mm you asked about....may make a metre or two difference if you're getting ends crimped/spliced
