Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just modeled up a simple 100x100 3mm, 10 mm end plates rhs tank using strand7, the fea program we use here at tafe in mechainical engineering. with an internal pressure of 100psi the stress concentration in the corners is marginal because of the radius, anyways its not an issue. maximum fibre stress ...

Give Queanbeyan diesel service a ring- theyre out at queanbeyan (strangely enough) and are brilliant with diesels :cool: the boys at qybn do good work, ive used them before as have mates of mine.. but this one sounds like a job easy enough for me to tackle myself.. if replacing the seals as ...

Just dug this thread up, funny enough about a week after i posted it the first time the leak went away.. i never got around to fixing it. anyways its back now as of a few days ago. what a pain in the arse! all the old info is still relivent so ill strip the top of the pump down and replace the seals ...

torx 40 screw on the box housing level with the 5th gear selector shaft.. under this is a spring and indent ball, replace both, they are cheap..
also check the rubbers under the gear sticks, if u have done body lift ect then they may be putting extra pressure on the stick.

Done g52 and transfer in one hit with 3 strong blokes and a jack and it was still a bit of a mission just need the angle of the dangle and it'll drop in. Bit of hair around the hole works a treat :D Haven't had anything to do with the R series box but. rolf, i have had mine in and out 3 times in ...

lol unis are like 15 bucks each

Sorry about the hijack but I have an automatic lux :?. When putting selector lever all the way down into 1st there is not a lot of lever left (not enough to accomodate a 2" body lift.) Whats the go with body lifting and moding the lever? Is there something I am missing or will it be a pain in the ...

made mine a few inches wider on each side mostly to combat the tires out the side!.. no need for stupid flares with 12.5s on 8 inch rims now!...Mine measures 1800 wide and 1500 long, it has 200 mm setback 45 degree corners at the rear and its on a dual cab lux. would get some pics but its off the ...

replacement windings are available, not a simple fit though. would prob look at a second hand starter. if replacement even closly resembles the reversal of removal then i cant see it being too hard. the ign wire requires soldering once in location, and the 2 push through clips need the taps ...

have my old one back in there atm.. was told by the auto elec 18 months ago when i replaced it that it was 'compleatly shagged mate' ' best bet is to get a new one'.. anyway ive fitted the perfectly good contacts out of the new one into the apparently shagged old one and its working fine. reason it ...

Happened to me about 2 years ago, remove starter, pop open the solenoid and pull out the contacts, go see an auto elec and for an easy change of $20 should see you with some nice new clean contacts (if you fit them yourself of course). BUT, also check that the clutch and motor havent been stuffed ...

bit of an update on this.. after using several methods to test and illiminate either the ignition barrel or the starter relay i went on to pull the starter and find the contacts in the solinoid almost perfect, no wear at all like the ones in stumpys link.. i gave the contacts and the plunger thing a ...

thanks for the heads up people. will pull the starter out and have it looked at asap, id say it would be out of warrenty as its closer to 18 months old now, but none the less u wouldnt expect it to happen. the car has not done alot of work in that time either! is this something that some emery paper ...

.. I put this in auto elec section first, but then figured id get more hits here so if the mods want to deleat the first post, then thats cool. Anyways Started having this problem last week and has happened twice now, go to start my lux and it fires up but the starter doesnt disengage and so it ...

Started having this problem last week and has happened twice now, go to start my lux and it fires up but the starter doesnt disengage and so it makes that horrible sound when the clucth is doing overtime in the starter. Naturally i turn the key off straight away, only to find this cuts the fuel, the ...

what sort of price...???

i duno, whats it worth, i dont wanna go to jail lol.. i paid nothing for it, got it through school.. Pm me..

depends if you want 2d or 3d as for 2d i havnt found anyhting easier then AutoCAD 06, simple software, read some tutorails etc etc and youll be fine as for 3d, prob best to get a program called "ProDesktop" or even the common Sketchup program, prodesktop is definatly better by far though John Just ...

i think within reason, once u get to a certain price range any brand will perfrom well. Im happy with my clarion, but for 600 bucks id be dissapointed if it were any other way! Sony, kenwood, clarion, ponieer or alpine, just to name a few, should all produce good units once u get away from the base ...

bout a million differnt types of lux towbars, i had no worries with my arb bar till i put ifs rears in. the longer springs made the shackle lay back more and hit on the bar... out i went with the grinder and welder, worked my way around it!. then ended up ditching the bar anyways!

sounds like Im having almost the exact same problems with mine.. ive replaced both the radiator and the thermostat with brand new units.. ive been boosting 10psi for 18 months with no worries but thought that things might just be wearing out (270,000kms) so i dropped it back to 6 but with no luck ...

Get your car on a long drive up to operating temp, when you get home turn off the motor and run your hand against the back of your radiator. It should all feel an even temp. No hot or cool spots. If you do find a particular section that is cooler or hotter than the rest of the rad you have a ...

So hard to tell where the leak comes from, no worries having a crack at fixing it if i could find it! seems to be coming from the underside of the pump, hard against the side of the engine! think ill just wait it out and get the pump pulled for a service in a few weeks time.. as for the over heating ...

so the pump will have to come out to get the seals re done im guessing?? Moving back to canberra in 3 weeks and i was hoping i could get it home before i get it all fixed, will have injectors and pump checked out, get it re tuned etc.. as long as i wont do any damage by holding out a few weeks then ...

Recently noticed diesel dripping from the injector pump on my hilux when i first start it up. hard to tell exactly where the leak is coming from but while ever the engine is left to idle its a steady drip drip drip running down the engine mount, onto the sump then onto the ground. If the engine is ...

5.3 ltrs including filter

not to sure but it sounds like the 2 hoses will be the fuel lines??? feed and return, and the wires will be the power to the fuel pump??
u should get yourself a workshop manual

my turbo timer is earthed through the handbrake... basicly this means if the timer is set on say 2 mins, then u turn the key off but do not pull the handbrake on the engine will stop... same goes if you take the handbrake off while the car is in the turbo timer countdown.. kills it straight away ...

if its squeaking where the shackle plate pushes up against the side of the rubber bush it may be done up a little to tight, also how much grease did u use in this area?? what sort of bushes were the old ones, rubber ive found tends to squeak more than the nylon neaphrene (sp?) sorta ones..

its not for my truck,and what i ment was when the leaf is unsprung weight do you want it to be flat or a curve to start of with i dont think it will make very much differance, seen both and they seem to work the same... infact gonads old orange buggy just had a peice of tube, not even a spring ...

ive got one, although its more like a splash gaurd than a bash plate??? its only slightly more sturdy than a vb tin.... that what your taking about? or are you after something strong?
