Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thats some really good info, i guess its a matter of time before mine goes but tbh i reckon its the same for most engines out there but i feel pretty safe with mine..

I love digging up old threads:), just wanted to see the progress you were having on the cranks?? I with the help of a good mate ;) have boosted mine to 15psi and a heap more fuel. Running an A2A intercooler i have not had a single problem at all to date, touch wood and this setup has been on for ...

You dont need a whole kit really, the heat exchanger is nothing special and you can buy water pumps cheap enough... I picked up a subaru intercooler from trade me in NZ and it cost me 49 posted to my door... I won it for 6 but the rest was postage..

Just had a look at mine and the top is polished so i would assume its alloy..

Marc

Yeah i like the idea on the ones i put up here, stoked with the feedback guys. I pretty much figured a relay setup from the ignition would be the best way. Am finally getting all the info i need..

Thanks very much

Marc

OKay im getting a couple of these to keep a check on both my batteries BUT it got me thinking wether they would drain the battery if i left them connected all the time http://www.virtual-village.com.au/green-volt-meter-dc-7v---15v-with-3-pin-cables/sku001480-167 So i was wondering if number one i ...

OKay okay i can see where you are all coming from now, maybe there is a reason why people dont do it the way i have described.. So the most common practice is A and A+B and thats it... So with the auto units like Redarc for example i wanted to know are they actually smart solenoids or just voltage ...

OKay this is the reason i love forums so much as questions and answers get raised and it helps me understand what is going on more.. i know there will be a small ammount of volatge drop but i would assume it will be the same for both batteries. What i want is a driver controlled dual battery system ...

You bring up a good point there mate, if they both go to the same thing then i dont see any reason why it wouldnt work..

Interesting

I actually didnt know about that " sense " wire. Is there an easy way to find out which one it is. Is it easy enough to split that wire to so it goes to both batteries or will that not work when u charge A+b.. Your idea sounds like it could work chimpy but i love some more info on this, worse case ...

Will a 1985 nissan patrol have this, i really dont think its got too much in the way of computor and stuff..

Marc

Yeah thats what i meant:)

When it comes to charging the " B " battery or AUX i would only switch it on on long drives and possibly go A+B and the just B... Im pretty sure my idea will work a couple of concerns are wether those 100amp solenoids can handle the charge from the alt?? Im pretty sure i read somewhere they can ...

OKay i KNOW that this topic has been discussed over and over but i had an idea and i wanted the thoughts from you guys on wether it would possibly work. Im sure everyone can remember those marine battery switches with the choice of charging two batteries independantly or both together?? Well my idea ...

I know this is an old post to dig up but dave what radiator/heat exchanger did you use, the std one or an aftermarket one?? Also did you use the std subaru water pump... Cheers mate, am going to do this setup soon but was thinking of using an alloy radiator instead of the factory heat exchanger. Marc

The springs i was given are Tough dogs they were apparently installed wrong so i thought they would be worth a reset???


Marc

Hey guys, all went well except the bloody rear captives.. They started spinning on the spot and no amount of bashing would get it out so had to drill the suckers out... If it wasnt for those two bolts i would have had the lift done by myself in 3.5 hrs which i was pretty stoked about.. Just gotta ...

OKay im very close to installing the body lift, this weekend infact BUT i cant for the life of me remember wether those two mounts in the rear wheel arches and actual mounts of just buffers, kind of like bump stops?? Also another couple of things i cant remember wether the captive nuts in the back ...

Hey guys i have recently bought a no name brand, typre r or 5 r racing, ebay jobby turbo timer, from cashies It was the right price but it comes with no instrcutions on installation and was wondering if the colours of the wires were a generic thing like most car head units.. It has 3 say 3mm wires ...

OKay although it might not be the exact same as mine, i had a leak in the exact same spot.. That hose is prolly 25 odd years old and the clamp has sunken into the rubber and cant grab at it any more.. Go buy yourself half a metre of fuel hose and a decent S/Steel jubilee clip and your done, quite ...

OKay i did the turn the car off and coast thing in gear and im pretty sure i still heard the noise being made, not 100% sure but pretty sure. IM gonna service the gearbox and see if it changes, tbh i have a feeling i think you a re right regarding the exhaust manifold... So does the air con ...

Anyone?? I have it all up i just need to know the position of those things, they attach to the tailgate by the looks of it.. http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/4WD-Wagons-SUVs/Slideshow=W953744234623?ProductID=0dgKoQwjKocAAAEcYzhv4PnM&StartImage=W953744234623_D.jpg&AutoPlay=true As ...

I cannot believe how hard it is to get to some of the bolts, its crazy.. Also those parts that hold the carrier when its in the closed position like a u shaped piece of rubber inside a metal bracket , anyone got any photo's of where they go?? One on top and one underneath??

Turn engine off and roll??? I dont quite understand what u mean but its def coming fronm the front of the car, i would say in the gearbox engine area..

cheers

Marc

Am gonna install with just bolts and very decent washers for now and when i have more time i will make up some plates for it.. Its only got a split rim going on it so shouldnt be too bad.

Cheers very much
Marc

Hey guys, i managed to pick one of these up today and it has all the bits i think i need BUT do you need any type of reinforcements on the inside of the car?? Just seems like alot of weight directly bolted to the body.. If there are supposed to be some kind of plate or something they bolt to will ...

OKay so far im pretty sure im gonna do a 2" body lift followed by getting my front springs redone or whatever its called so they are inline with the rear as they have sagged a bit and then some 33's and then maybe a small shackle lift.. What is the difference between sticking 33's on a 15x10 and a ...

Hey people, some of you might remember i have owned a couple Mq's before but this is the first Turbo diesel i have owned. I did ask wether it was worth buying a MQ again and although i was leaning towards a GQ i took the route that involved no debt:) I do have a few questions im hoping you guys ...

I need to buy you some cold ones my friend. I only drove it up and down my driveway but it now feels perfect, engaging right where i like it.

6 Mechanics said there was no adjustment!!!!!..

CHEERS

Marc

OKay i just bought a Mq TD and the clutch engages just 1cm off the floor and its a bit annoying. Can they be adjusted in anyway to engage a little further up?? It doesnt seem to be slipping, did the ol 20kms an hour in fourth and foot to the floor and it didnt slip a bit, It doesnt seem to have any ...
