Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks guys, that's good to know.

Hi,

I bought a second hand D40 turbo diesel about 1 month ago & have been happy so far but the other day my low oil light came on even though the dipstick reads full.

Any ideas ? Is it just an electrical glitch or something more sinister ?

Cheers Sean

thanks mate, i will trade them in with the car then, they are actually on my MK triton at the moment. cheers

Hi, just about to buy a D40 navara & was wondering if my old sunraysias from a GQ would fit straight on ? Cheers

they were 7 inch rims, the tyres are a little bit used but ok, it seems to drive ok, just feels a lot bigger on the road if that makes sense ?

no njv6 you havent missed anything ! i was just after some info from people who may have done it b4 !! Ans Scott the wheels are nissan offset from my mates patrol, thanks for your advice.

I just put some 15 inch sunnies with 31 x 10 duellers on my mk triton & have noticed that it doesn't drive as well as im used to ( standard wheels )but it does look so much better !! What performance gains or losses can i expect & is this set up ok for my rig ? Cheers

thanks a lot for all of your advice, hopefully when i get mine fixed she will last a few more years.

Im about to get a bit of rust work done on my old girl, the roof is the worst spot ( as usual ) plus a couple of places in the lower guards, i was wondering is there any way of slowing the rust process down, can u get fibreglass panels & when is it time to move on ? Cheers

Thanks that helps a lot, not sure what system to get yet, trying to weigh up the difference between venturi & injected vs the cost difference ?

We are going to put gas on our 4.5 100 series, it is our main family truck but we want to use it for touring, i know that the scuba tanks would give us more range but do they interfere much with ground clearance & if so would a slight lift fix that ? Just checkin our options. Cheers Sean

thanks guys, i think we are goin to get a petrol and put gas on it. cheers

Thinking of getting a 100 series for a family car, just wondering whether to get a petrol/gas or a turbo diesel, Auto or manual, we want to spend up to about 25k.

Ive got my 60 for serious fun but this will be used on moderate tracks not just for trips tothe shops ! Any ideas ?

It is smaller than the current ones & more cylindrical at the point where it goes through the guard, i bought it 2nd hand & it came of a 60 ( APPARENTLY )It is a safari snorkel but may be an older model. ??

Looking for a template to fit an older style safari snorkel to my 60, any help would be appreciated. cheers

Thinking of buying a 98 patrol wagon, what are the 2.8 turbo diesel engines like, i have been told to steer clear of them ? Any ideas ?

thanks guys, yeah some places said it was a liability thing, some said they wouldnt fit on their machine but he got ozzie tyres at west gos to do it. cheers

A mate of mine wants to get some 35s fitted to some new wheels he just bought & is having trouble finding anywhere that will do them on the central coast nsw, any ideas ?

Hi guys, getting new rims & tyres soon, the rims are 15 x 8 with 33 x 12.5 muddies on them, my truck has a 2inch lift on it, will they scub ?cheers

Thanks for all the advice guys, looks like im gunna get some new rims & tyres that a guy from work is selling, if i can just get past the minister for finance seeing as i only bought my 15 x 7 sunnies 2 weeks ago !!

thanks guys, i was trying to decide whether or not to buy new rims & tyres or just tyres to whack on my existing sunnies. Cheers

Just thinking about going bigger on my hj60 & was wondering what to expect if i go from 31's to 33's ? Also can you fit 33x12.5x15 tyres to 15x7 sunnies,( trying to save money) Cheers

Hi, just wondrerin if anyone out there has a fitting template for an older style snorkel off a 60 series, its a lot smaller than the newer ones, i had a look at a template for a newer one today and it is different, any ideas ? ( thanks for your help brighty )
