Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Try Exedy in China, Hungary or England.
Solid flywheel and HD clutch is around $1100 in Australia

I've taken front end apart to do swivel hub seals and needle bearing is not budging.
What do you guys use to remove that bearing?

bought mine new in jan 2002.
180000km so far.Cape York,Simpson dsrt, tanami trk,Vic high cntry,etc.........
happy with it.

You can get Nissan brand oil for ZD30 for around $70 (2x 5l) from Nissan spare parts.
As for Nissan filters email Garry

Have you checked wire conections?
I had some loose connections in control box and it would cut in and out(sometimes works,sometimes doesn't)
Also check that earth is grounded properly

3.that 6lt will do

My 90 lt Waeco is six years old and doesn't miss a beat.
It's in my 4b all the time,and it has had a rough time.

call REVS.

Daikin changed it's name to Exidy.
I haven't heard a single complaint yet on Daikin/Exidy clutches.

I bought one of the first series III Patrols and had to wait for three months till ARB redisigned their Sahara bar to fit series III.(or that's at least what they told me)

It's not gona fit.
series III,staring 10/01 has a different grill.
ARB had to modify their bullbars to fit series III.
They said it would fit but it would badly rub grill on a bar

How do you find your Xterrain comparing to MT/R's.
I'm on my second set of MT/R's and am considaring Xterrains next time around.
I am happy with MT/R's,but have heard that Xterrains perform as good as MT/R's on all type of terrain and last longer.

MTR is 25% thicker in the sidewall, and tougher thean the STT, just come back from a desert trip, one car on STT's with 5 punctures and 2 destroyed tyres, 5 cars on MTR's with 4 punctures between them, one on MTZ's with 2 punctures, 2 on Pro comps with no punctures. This is pretty much what we see ...

I fitted Blitz 240 to my brother in laws Patrol with Nissan winch bar.
I'll try to find photo and post it.

I've got same crack on my 2002 GU.
Haven't done anything about it yet

I don't think clutch would be covered under warranty.
Like brake pads, it wears out

My choice is MT/R STT would most likely last longer(haven't tried) MT/R handles wet bitumen lot better than BFG AT (so I asume MT as well) MT/R doesn't loose chunks easily. Some people say that XTerrain is possibly better than MT/R on wear,mud and as good on wet bitumen. That seems like prety good ...

You need to learn to drive hey there's something new, a 3.0 owner who likes to blame anything but the motor for their poor pre-turbo performance :D if I carry almost nothing in terms of cargo, it's just bearable. I do have a lot of weight on the vehicle - factory bar, dual-wheel kaymar rear bar ...

2.8 or 4.2 or 4.5 ?

Well as this thread is about 3litres

3 litre didn't exist in 1999

Even if mine never blows up ('05 GU4), I still wish I got the 4.2. 3.0 is too weak at low revs, which sucks when you're trying to crawl up steep rock steps nice and easy like I'm hoping lower low range gears will help My factory clutch went at 20,000 - I don't even tow anything. You need to learn ...

GUIII - October 2001 onwards.

That is when they started the "Series III" - I only assume they upgraded the 3.0 as part of that release.

I thought series III was more late 2002 early 2003

I've got series III,build date nov 2001,complied jan 2002

I do remember someone having MT/R's out of round on a Hilux about two years ago (overlander forum) After lot of trouble he got new tyres. I'm on my second set of MT/R's in 285/75/16,and couldn't be happier. First set lasted 40000km and was still leagal. Second set has about 30000km on it and it won ...

35's are bigger and heavier than 285/75/16(33s) so I wouldn't hold my breath.

305/70/16 is same rolling diameter as 285/75/16,but 20 mm wider.
My BIL has MT Baja Claws in that size(305/70/16)

If you put Keymar bracket,you can fit 35's on the rear door.
Have you considered extra weight?
I have 285/75/16 on the rear door and it has developed a crack at the bottom of the window.Prety common.

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!! It's possible. I have a firend who goes on a trip with me from time to time and his stock standard 05 model uses around ...

50,000km is fair enough for a tyre like that, I do about 60/40 on road/ off, couldn't be bothered swapping sets and would prefer less comfort on road to less traction off it. Anyone know where the cheapest place to purchase would bein Sydney or Central West, only place iv'e seen prices is on the ...
