Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I used Penrite limslip 140 for the rear of my GQ when I still had it. And I think Penrite Hypoid 84w/140 for the front and transfer case. But after I installed the front airlocker I used limslip 140 in that also.

It was an auto so that had Castrol Trans Z in it.

I had a Finer filter pod type airfilter on my Feroza (about 6 years ago now) and I also fitted an outer "foam sock" over the Pod. As far as particle filtration is concerned I dont believe it was any worse than the paper barrel type OE filter. The car did gain a small amount of power. But it did ...

Procomp ignition is absolutely rubbish!

The procomp CDI is a very poorly made ripoff copy of the MSD.

Stay away from it!

I sold my SWB GQ on gas last year with 389,000 kms on it and the TB42 engine in it had no signs of dying what so ever.

With TB42 engines, fix the head properly and convert it to electronic ignition (if carby) and youll have a strong workhorse of an engine.

I dont thinlk he knew what he was doing either.

I was just a passenger in another vehicle on a trip through Yalwal.

18 something years ago I saw this guy use a highlift for its intended purpose. It slipped off while he was using it and whacked him on the sheen. Took a chunk of flesh off.

After I saw, I would never touch one.

660cc engine.

Damn, thats half a jimny engine.

I like dangerous, cheapo mods like this.

Im sure the old TB42 engines on GQs had far more cylinder head failures than this ZD30 blowing turbos.

This may be true, but the standard 4.8 will have better longevity ( most of the time ) and with a few tweaks will hammer

agree.

we just black siliconed it on and also siliconed a black mesh in it

That recessed strip on the center makes it look ordinary.

Just make sure its not going to affect the intake end of the turbo. Bits if metal getting sucked in cant be good.

Gday all i have heard of people saying that caster plates can just snap or brake. Has any one had this happen to them or heard of it happening??. I just don't c it being possible anyway just thought i should ask. Thanks Steve :D Im guessing that the axle has not been centered with the correct ...

Man, I think its obvious what you need to do, but Ill tell you anyway.

Try the cheap way if you like by first taking the waterpump off and re-applying a new seal on it.

Now what I would do is, put a new waterpump and seal on it.

I think you will be spending big money for little gain.

Yes coils on an Ifs is better but not that much better.

Unless your planning on competing in a highspeed offroad race.

Thats because its got castor correction plates fitted to it for the lift.

That looks very nice inside.

The 2.8 isnt that bad of an engine is it?

I reckon if you really want to drop the TD42 in it then sell the 2.8 as it is and get some money for it.

Rod

someone send him a virus!

I hate I'm gayer than aids! like this!

Yet another thread that has fallen victim to the new communism called "political correctness".

The 3-4 hours of traveling that dennisdko is talking about is also mainly from traffic.

Not only is that a really bad LPG installation, it is also DANGEROUS!

So with the gas mixer popping off the carby so easily you could have a potential gas explosion because its not fastend in anyway!

Just dont DONT go to sydney speed supplies.

They are crooks.

I sold mine two months ago for $8000.

A thirsty dual fuel with 389k.

Apart from front air lockers, it was stock. 2" lift and 31s

Very tidy car for an 88 model swb though.

not that the stock ones are weak

Unless its had a big gulp of water, then I personally have not heard of such a problem with these big nissan sixes.

Has anyone bought a new Headlight Combination Switch (AKA headlight stalk) for a GQ. Just wondering what Ni$$an will charge for a new one. Mine has been playing up for a while now.

Nice tyres.

Looks like youve tried everything possible already. When I did mine ...
