Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Wow - havent been on here for ages - its looking great now! Nearly there!

Mine does it when cold I generally just use the hand throttle to idle it up for a few minutes. You can usually hear it click over and then it idles up when warm. I know hiluxes etc are also the same.

Dump would certainly be worthwhile and I have been thinking about it for some time - larger dump pipe off the turbo and back a decent distance even in the short term. At the end of the day this is where gasses are the hottest and need the extra room and its not like the diesels rev hard so need the ...

I cannot see why a normal clutch fan or flex fan cannot be used because of the heads?? I mean even the efi 304's run clutch fans.

Anyway. If you remove the thermostat completely that could be causing the water to flow too fast and not cool down. You should at least put the housing back in with the ...

Cool thanks guys.

After some more searching I have finally found this image:

It would appear the casting replaces the factory part but if someone can confirm that would be great.

Also from my research, most people silicone up the ...

I am trying to fit a snorkel to my NJ 2.8 which appears to be a Safari SS25HF copy but dont have instructions

Can anyone help with the aluminium cast piece that goes inside the guard. Does this replace the part that is bolted on and joins the internal rubber pipe to the air cleaner or does it sit ...

Quadies are a good carbie when set up right and compared to a Holley don't need adjusting as much.

They also have smallish primaries making them ok for economy with large secondaries for when you need the juice.

Edit - these days I would go injection. Its very easy to set up and if you are already ...

This is the standard power steer setup for an early 308 Commy.

Power steer on the passenger side. Factory AC bracket to drivers side. Alt mounts under in this case.

Without AC with the typical alternator bracket on the drivers ...

Hope this helps. The first pic is a VS power steering pump bracket.

Heres my Paj. Had it for a while now but have started to do a bit more work to it setting it up for easy weekend camping.

Slight lift, ARB bar. I just fitted the STT's and winch. Really just need to get a snorkel now.

I wouldnt be worried about the spelling. I nearly passed out because I couldnt take a breath due to the lack of full stops!!

I am still not sure exactly what you were planning but I think you will still have CV issues. The only way is to drop the lower arms somehow and therefore lower the ...

This is brilliant - I can see some Jeep Wrangler style flares hanging off the sides of this thing with the new rubber - will make for a menacing stance. Fantastic conversion!!

Agree with Mick especially on number 2 I probably could have worded that a bit better - depends on how much detail you go into.

A 40 grit flap disk works well for roughing up bare metal ready for fibre fill - also good for finishing off welds etc while you are at it.

Hey mate. To answer your questions:

1) You need to etch bare metal before priming. Make sure to give it a good buzz (sand) to get rid of any surafce rust. I usually just go over in 120 from memory using an ordital sander.

2) Yeah you always get mixed reviews for this one. I have always body filled ...

when i was shopping for a UHF i ended up buying a good 3w GME handheld... there was no need for an in-car unit (especially driving a soft top). The handheld covers a HUGE range and last ages between re-charging.

Well there you go. I am in the same boat really and will definately keep my eyes out. A snorkel is the main thing I need now I have found some cheap muddies and a winch...

This is great as I cant get my Cooper ST's to balance and was thinking of getting rid of them as it is annoying on long drives...

The 6 speed zf gearboxes fitted to late model commies and I assume Falcons run internal slaves and while they are a pain to bleed could be a solution.

Many guys have come up with extensions which can be inserted and allow the slaves to be bled externally. Was going to do it with my old M6 VT. Try ...

Unless your doing a lot of touring I cant really see the value in diesel gas at present.

I get just under 1000km highway driving and average about 800km to a tank around town. I know it could be a tad better with an injector service and tune as it does blow a bit of diesel smoke.

The problem I see ...

In regards to the unusual wear - I have a similar problem on a set of second hand cooper st's I just bought.

Got told by the tyre place the shockies must have been worn on the 4x4 they came off which has created small flat spots which is what you describe by the ramping of the tread. Might want to ...

I have nearly exactly the same as 4x4 suzi - same colour, 2.8td and all.

Got it late last year and couldn't be happier for the price!! Awsome to drive around town - not too slow - great on the open road especially now ive gone to 31 inch tyres - makes the gearing work a lot better.

Havent been off ...

I will wacth this thread closely too - as soon as I get over the 7k I just paid out for a new slab for the shed (eeek) I will be looking at the same

I noticed Bob and Toms (now Tyrepower Wickham) often have sunnies and tyres sitting out the front of their shop - used to offer some pretty good deals ...

Yeah I spent most of lunch time ready old threads related to the issue and watched it most of the way back from work . . .

Its more erratic than yesterday so I guess its the guage/sender unit. Yesterday it was very consistent in what it was doing which led me to think it may not be the guage ...

Guys I have just noticed a strange problem in that the paj appears to be dropping pressure according to the guage.

Never seemed to do it until yesterday. Essentially it sits on the normal 80-90 pounds at idle - upon driving the guage gradually drops itself down to -30 pounds and less.

The oil is ...

Wow that looks neat inside and out!! Top work Frank!!

Excellent, that was what I was thinking put thought I would get some advice from ppl that know their Pajero's before diving in.

I thought there would have been some form of harness seeing as though the majority of bars have indicators - similar to what Commodores have for driving lights and what ...

Done a search and havent come up with much...

I have juts purchased a used ARB winch bull bar, which looks great.

But I have one question, is there a loom that the indicators provided can plug into? I have had a quick look around and it would appear the answer is no, but the wiring at the back of ...

The cruiser 2ht motors are awsome but getting pretty old and worn out. I couldnt really find on with under 300-400k when I was looking around.

The 2.5 isnt the quickest thing around, I found the 2.8 a lot better. Tough call if your using it for towing. Pajeros are certianly a lot more comfortable ...

It is possible to run without the vss but there are some issues, VATS is easy to remove but is unrelated to the vss. If you run without the vss you have to get the idle speed motor settings just right or there will be a tendency to either hang up at revs or for the rpm to drop out and then recover ...
