Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sudso,

if you've removed the throttle body, fuel rails, removed the four nuts on each corner low down at the foot of the manifold and the four long bolts from the top it should lift off.

The only thing that got me initially was not disconnecting the fuel lines each side off the fuel rail which ...

Beeno,

I steer well clear of Holden when sourcing parts. I purchased the Timing belt, Belt Tensioner and Belt Idler as a kit off US ebay and payed using Paypal. Even with exchange and USPS Express postage it came to $205 aus. Say no more, and the parts were top notch. Visit ebay or go online and ...

Hi,

not sure if the 97 3.2L in the Jack is identical to the one in my 2000 Frontera, but I have just done the 160k service myself and replaced timing belts, pulleys and water pump and ventured further by removing the intake plenum and stripped it down for an internal clean and had the injectors ...

Check this link out to another good site.

There are? Damn it. That info came from a Holden person who warned me when I started looking at the lining. So no I never bothered getting the lining off after that.

But if the bolts are there I would probably in hindsight now get a quote from a panel beater to do the job. They would better ...

I've had the OME 2" lift for over a year now and have been waiting for my current set of tyres to wear before committing to new rubber. The time is nearing and I'm checking my options. The standard tyre is a 235/75R15 on the alloy 6.5x15 rims.

I want an AT tread and am looking at going up to 255 ...

Hi Jason,

I have a 2000 UES S and thought I'd do the same. Even aquired a set from a wrecker, but gave up. Your right. They require captive nuts that are built into the roof lining on the SE only. Not only that, I was told that there is additional reinforcement for the mounts as well built in. So ...

I read on US sites that it is common for the 3.2L V6 98 onwards to develop leaky inlet manifold gaskets that cause rough idle, stalling and some irratic behaviour. To some extent I'm suffering similar occurences. Anyone here found the need to replace the gaskets?

Sounds like a great idea this new Rodeo Wagon concept. But it would need a name change. Something that made it sound less agricultural and more family friendly. Would need a coil sprung ...

Yep that's the next step. 265x70R16 seems to be the obvious way to go. Anyone like to comment on suitability How would that size go for clearance given the lift, and would it effect gearing Photos

Cheers

Gidday Fiik,

call me Dipstick. I 've been called worse. Would like to change it in the profile but can't seem to. Appears I need to set up a new profile. Anyone know if you can change your name easily

Guys,

as mentioned on a previous thread, I have gone the 2" lift offered by ARB using their Old Man Emu kit. Package cost $990 fitted and comes with a 2 year warranty. 4 x gas shocks, 2 x new heavy duty progressive rear coils, torsion bar adjustment. Vast improvement on ride, handling and ...

OK I'll live with it. But moving on.. I want to start a new thread to show some pics of the ARB lift but can't work out how to add multiple pics under the text. Can someone point me in the right direction thanks?

I guess the Frontera uses a similar engine and manual tranmission so perhaps what I've done may apply. Just FYI otherwise, but I'm using Shell Helix Ultra full synthetic (5w-40) in Engine, Gearbox and Transfer case. I can see no reason from my research and discussions with Holden as to why I can't ...

Noel, don't forget the Frontera. I actually thought that they bumped that out of the way for the local product. I mean "Adventur..A" for the "Fronter..A". They obviously saw the success of this fine vehicle and thought they could clone it using the only thing they had, a Commodore shell. Geez ...

Thanks for the feedback David. Can we stop the clunk? I'm surprised that the floor pan mount can move as the bolt locks the centre tube to the body firmly. The two rubber blocks hold the chassis. I've tightened the bolt nut as hard as possible but still get the clunk. It defies logic. Do I modify ...

Found the problem, but am puzzled why Its the body mount that's situated directly under your left foot on the passanger side. It was the only thing that would produce the direct clunk under that spot. It wasn't loose, but I've pulled the bolt out and the bottom rubber block out and the clunk noise ...

Thanks Ozzuzu,

I'll check it out.

But I'm interested in knowing more about the problems with the ARB kit. What breaks? Shocks? Coils? I'd like to see photos.

I was also impressed with their after sales support. Full 12 month warranty. Problems fixed by any ARB outlet. They measure height ...

Hi all,

Some noises are easy to find, others impossible so here i am asking if anyone has experienced the same to give me some direction.
Straight driving over bumps - no noise. Going into corners more right than left I get a solid knocking sound from the left front. Shocks OK. All nuts and ...

Greg and Dazz,

this link may also be of use. May explain it better than I did and there are pictures.

Dazz,

funny you should mention this. I repacked and tightened my front wheel bearings on my Frontera this weekend. They had some bad play. Actually i was trying to eliminate a clunking sound that has just started when I corner a low speed, left or right over small bumbs. Sounds like its under the ...

Aw Geez Greg. That'll reduce the Frontera representation by about 30%! Oh well enjoy yourselves over there and keep in touch. I might pass on a shopping list of tricky bits i can't get here if you do.

Regards,
Wayne.

Guys,
for future reference if anyone ever has this issue, the problem can be fixed. Holden quoted $510 for the replacement module. Seems this module contains other circuitry for alarm, remote and control functions. The wreckers wanted $250. Both options BS to just fix the intermitent function ...

Guys,

for a while now I've had a problem with my intermittant wiper stopping half way. Works fine on normal and fast, but not on intermittant. Also when I turn them off from intermittant they won't return to the down position.

In the Isuzu forum links I posted I have seen this as a known ...

Greg,

this came out of all those forums above. No Frontera photos, but certain Fords in the US also suffer this known problem and these photos show fairly closely what to expect.

Hi Greg,

fairly straight forward. I firstly jacked up one rear wheel to allow me to rotate the drive shaft. You get to see how much slip you have in your LSD this way, but it will turn. Then under you go:
1. Mark with chalk the position of the front universal to the gearbox output coupling as a ...

But wait there's more. Here's another site with a pile of questions and answers for (I'll spell it right this time) Isuzu owners.

http://www.automotivehelper.com/cat240/

Did the regrease of the tail shaft splin on the weekend and I'll be..... it worked. No more thunk noise.

Wayne.

Also for Frontera wagon owners 98-00 models who notice a clunk on driving off from start or sometimes on stopping item 9 will be of interest. Repacking the slip joint on the drive shaft fixes this. Out with the grease this weekend!

Wayne.

Guys,

some good stuff in here. Especially item29. "Can I install a supercharger"

Thanks Yarno,

I'll make sure the fridge is stocked the next time i do it.
