Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey Huson. Your bar looks like mine. Is it steel? I have the same on my 97NL and have just fitted a warn8000 winch to it after geting the same reply. If its ARB and Steel then its winch compatible. It had bolt holes and a cable hole in the front. Had to cut a hole in the top for the fat cable and ...

rang up the DPI this morning. Waited on hold for around 15 minutes. Not impressed. However things took a quick turn around. within 30 seconds a guy had directed me to a link on the DPI website which is a declaration, no proof required. Filled it in and dropped it off. All sorted.

The alarm in keyless. Little remote. DPI = Department of Planning and Infrastructure. They handle car licensing. Well it has a wireless remote. Quite a common one as other cars I have had have had the same remote. Looks like a jelly bean. Its conforms to all the DPI guidelines however all the wires ...

I have a letter from the DPI that my 97 Pajero does not have an immobilizer fitted. It definitely does but to prove so I have to supply Type, Installed by, Date installed and serial number. Anyway can't find where the unit is and don't see the point in taking it to someone to check it out. Pretty ...

I have a 97 2.8 TDI pajero. When cold (First thing in the morning) when I start it idles realy rough abnd with low RPM's. Not pretty. Idle is at the pointing of dieing. Seems okay when I bring the RPM upto 1000rpm. Give it 30 seconds and all okay. It fires very quickly however, just rough Starting ...

I suppose the only way to tell if it is locking is to get it bogged in sand and see if two (one front and one rear) are spinning? If diff lock was not working then only one wheel would spin?

got a 93 Nissan Pajero SWB and noticed the other day that the center diff lock does not engage. Light just keeps flashing. Is this the same sort of problem as the front hubs which are vacuum operated?

Common problem? Easy fix?

Thanks

Hmm. Its only on the fronts and new shocks. The tread starts as flat then slowly wears a ramp on the back face to the front edge of the lug. The tyres were rotated/reversed the tyres (Front to back) and it started again while the now back tyres started to wear flat. Only impact is lots of noise at ...

So the 13mm offset is the amount the wheel is offset from center.

So a 13mm offset would stick out more than a 10mm offset (Std wheels).

So 16x8 would effectively hangout almost 16mm more than the std wheels and would be 9mm incl further inside as well?

Whats does the JJ thingie mean?

I have just brought a NL GLX Pajero which has 15x7jj Sunraiser rims with Cooper ST tyres on it. The cooper tyres seem to be suffering a funny wear pattern which is taking the front of the tread lug of creating a ramped lug. The main issue is a loud droning around at 100kph+ What I was going to do ...

Okay cool.

So still basically there would be no interaction of an autolocker when in 2wd mode?

Thanks for the info.

So when in 2wd mode the front axles are turning and the front diff is turning?

Thought they had vacuum actuators that disconnected the drive both at the C-Diff and Hubs?

Okay. Reading bits and pieces and filtering the fluff from fact I have come up with the following which I hope is right. Please correct if wrong. Looking at upgrading from FJ62 to NL Pajero and just trying to expand my knowledge. 1: On the pajero chuck it in the front. Resolves IFS limitations. 2 ...

Currently looking at buying 97 Pajero. Anything to look out for? Took it for a test drive and at idle oil pressure seemed to sit at 1kg/cm? 2kg/cm while driving. Seemed low. Okay? Also smoked under power but dark and couldn't see if over fueling or oil? Other than that seemed okay. Strengths or ...

Thanks for all the info.

My truck is what you would call a teething 4wd. Hopefully last long enough till my teeth harden and I upgrade to a better truck.
The idea with the LSD in the front would be to improve traction at minimal cost unless a locker can be got for cheap

Paul

Thanks

I read that the 100 series diff centers were the same as the 60 series. Looking at chucking a 100 series LSD in my FJ62.

Safe and easy or not?

thanks

The cruiser uses a clutch pack limited slip diff which I imagine would be a bit more progressive. Already have one on the back and no issues yet. I imagine however that a LSD in the front would actually help. With both wheels forcing the turn. Only downsides would be extra tyre wear and extra load ...

First priority is to find this vibration. 98% of the time it is smooth and silky but twice now the vibration and the pulsing in the brake pedals has started and then fades a few minutes latter. Driving vibration is simialr to a badly out of balance tyre. If you apply the brakes you can feel it there ...

Cool. What sort of LSD type do they have? Shimmed to the max?? The reason this thought has started is that the last two times I have driven long distance the truck a vibration has started and then faded away. Eg last weekend drove 300k with 75k being off road. It didn't start to vibrate until I was ...

Is it possible to take a LSD from the rear of a 4wd and put it on the front? I have an FJ62 Landcruiser with a rear LSD diff and would imagine that have LSD front and rear would help traction etc. I imagine it would be just a case of swapping the heads. What potential issues could be encountered ...
