Outer Limits 4x4 Board

You can also opt if you have a big tire combo on the car for a small reduction in the high range gearing as well, I think the standard set I have seen from Marks Adapters is 15% under driven from the stock ratio, this might work out better than have to match front and rear Diff's with new crown and ...

I've got a mate desperate to get himself another fourby. It's intended to be a tourer, with trips to the cape, across the simpson etc planned. While at home it will be a daily driver, used to tow the boat and do weekly trips on the beach. His only prerequisite is that it must be a larger engine ...

I would choose a GU petrol but only on gas, it's a better engine off road and onroad than anything else that came out in those cars and it tows well too. In terms of transplanting a 4.8 I would imagine its as large a task as say a Gen3 (in terms of getting the harness patched, or fitted if it came ...

Have you looked into buying a GQ 4.2 Diesel with low km,s no more than 200 000 - 250 000km and taking everything you need to do the swap then sell of what is left. Then get an aftermarket turbo. That is what I did and it was the cheapest way to do it although I did all the work except the wiring ...

Well currently when the Truth of all the various options come out, they aren't that much different, unless you spin the spanners yourself and hook some good deals on the bits. Given the opening quotes I have had at the present on all the various options, the Duramax is looking good, just waiting on ...

There is no problem keeping a duramax roadworthy, registered and insured. The motor and gearbox price is comparable to the 6.5 too. The major cost comes from the install itself. I would be interested to see the new v8 from toyota in there, but can't imagine it would be cheap. The td42 would be ...

I am not sure what you are trying to convey? That the 6.5 Chev is just as bad hence adding to the conjecture I mentioned or its just the engine that should be put in?

With the TD42 option, I would look at it three ways, Part my truck and just find one a TD6 as a replacement, look for donor salvage and part, look to get all the pieces independent to fit. Cost and risk would be the decider. 10K is shy of the 12500K for a complete new 6.5 chev, but once I get all ...

Well @ 163,000km the ZD30 shat its pants and the vehicle now sits on my nature strip as a lawn ornament at the present. OPTIONS: Rebuild the boat anchor myself (cheapest and most risky option as I will be learning a little as I go, but I am not afraid of the consequences because the outlay is ...

It will be the Mass Air Flow Sensor in my opinion, if you have a mate with another like vehicle ask to swap it in and check it out, its on the intake tube just outside the Filter housing, can't remember the price new. Edit: Fuck a duck you already pulled it. By the way its the MAF they go all the ...

Alcohol free zones would will be welcome personally I am over the dickheads who think there are auditioning for the next Jackass video and contrive methods of killing themselves and or hurting others.

Thanks mate, will get my brother in law onto to it. Yeah I know where that is could be quite convenient.

Right looking for some advice, bascially pinging everywhere, I am coming back to Australia, my GU has been sitting for 2 years, its needs a Clutch and I don't like the brakes on it at the moment. It also needs a major book type service and I suppose a detailed fluid/seal whatever the f*ck it needs ...

Ill have one!!!! Have had a ride etc in heaths and yes it would be excellent as a street motor! With the auto too Well I am considering it, I wanted to do the 6.5 chev for the longest time, and seeing the powerstrokes the cummins (which I think might be too long), and the Duramax in action I ...

I have the allison auto out of it at the moment. Doing some upgrades so i can add some more power to it. :lol: I am just waiting on a some parts from the states. Then it is back to the track to see if we can dial a 11 into it. Then i am looking at compounding turbos in the future. Or maybe a ...

Well while I am in the states I can get hold of pretty well any of the current Diesels. Does anyone know of anyone in Australia that has fitted an engine other than the 6.2/6.5 Chev into a GU Patrol. I can get access to the Duramax, Powerstroke and of course the Cummins both old and new. I am ...

Even though people have been bitten buy nissan most people that would buy a patrol know the strengths of a cummins motor and would probably change there minds about going back Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a high HP/Torque engine, but dont want the computerized crap to go with it, the price ...

In stock form expect around 1100k from a tank with around 50-80k to spare. 1100k in stock form!! i get about 850k in stock form around town from the 3.0L..how did u get 1100KM!! Sorry for the late post, uck knows what your doing I get 850km at 3.1 tons on the wiegh bridge without another 150kg of ...

Well ***** it I have been busy working and haven't had time to come here much lately I am currently 180 miles from vegas and I saw a buggy on Interstate 62, thought to myself shit there may be a local crawl somewhere in the Yucca Valley, Morongo Valley area. Search the friggin net find out a comps ...

Yep we are all going to be there and we are all driving. How long you been over there? Are you working for our Boys? Whats been happening? We will be arriving on the 1st and leaving the 12th. Straight after the event we head to Johnson Valley for a few days to wheel around the Hammers area. I have ...

Nope the 4.2L and the 3.0L Diesel boxes are totally different, the 3L TD uses the same box as the 2.8L diesel which is the same as the 3L petrol box. the GQ and GU boxes are slighty different but you can put a GQ box into a GU and Vice versa, just the bellhousings are different i believe You are ...

How much simple misinformation can you get? To start all 3L and 4.2L TD share the same Gearbox in the GU. Second there was a faulty shaft issue where the fifth cog would sit and basically it would strip off the shaft. Series II on should all be resolved. Last Nissan fixed mine out of warranty and ...

It seems that you have taken the Chev into account as an enabler to get you the percieved power you think you will need for the OBC. Would you have even bought the shorty with a OBC plan if you didn't have the chev? If the answer is yes then the decision I think is easy to make, stick with the 4.2 ...

Yep a little reflection time a Pepsi Max and the answer just popped

Well its done now, answer; swear at it lots, they all come off in the end, didn't even have to resort to a bigger hammer.

Anyone have any frecken tips on how to get the lower rear bolt off the alternator, frecken thing is pissing me off, the aircon piping stops me getting socket and 1/2in drive on it and I can't get any leverage off a ringy or open ender.
