Outer Limits 4x4 Board

make your own gaskets bud, there pretty easy with some gasket paper and a small pall pein hammer. Will save you abit of money too.

hey bud, i had a set of 36 x 12.5 pede's on my hilux, it was just a toy too. i loved em. my mate owned the car before me and he had 35 x 11.5 pede's on it. the 36 x 12.5 was a much better offroad tyre in my opinion.

try on- track 4wd centre in slacks creek, brisbane, too.

you didn't mention it in the list of things you did, but have you done the thermostat. if so i would probably go with the head problem too.

with the amount of work that is involved any way you should probably just pull of the head. and that way you can inspect the valves to see if there leakin compression and just have a good look over the whole lot. you don't want to put the new cam in and find out when you go to tune it that i needs ...

they are predicting a reliable 180 to 200 kw and 450 to 500 nm at the wheels. i don't know about you but that sounds pretty good to me. i was wondering if any one had any useful info not just something negative to say.

does anyone know of a TB42E being supercharged. mine is currently in the shop getting done. It will have the most aggressive cam crow cams do for it as well as a rebuilt and ported head, new pistons, rings, mains and bigs, stronger crank cap bolts so it can rev a bit harder and a paxton non ...

thanks for the replies guys. i stuck hpr 30 in it and adjusted the the tapets. runs good. time will tell with the oil but it sounds like a good choice. also found a loose high tension lead on no.5 which wasn't doin me any favours.

hey bud, i got my gq cut into a dual cab style side up here in brisbane. with the cut, spray on tray liner, interior on the back wall redone and headliner, all painted ready to go and mod plate it cost me $7,500, i love it. i haven't seen another one in brisbane yet but i'm sure i will.

Hey guys, I was wondering what oil you have found works best in the efi gq motor. I am currently running castrol magnatec and i am gettin a ticking noise out of the engine. Someone told me that the hydraulic lifters don't like the magnatec. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.

has anyone got pictures of gq cab cuts.
gettin one done. (dual cab style side) and just want to get a better look at it.
cheers guys

hey guys just wondering if any one has thrown a turbo on a tb 42 efi.

what k's did you have on the car when you put it on?

how does the engine cope?

what boost are you running?

did you have to do any internal beefing up?

what did it cost you?

any information at all would be great guys.
cheers.

if you have 35's on, that will be your problem. most patrols seem to work fine with 35's but some just hate it. i would suggest maybe leavin your muddies just for play and gettin some road tyres for daily driving.

leaky power steer box. nearly every one i looked at had it. they can cost a bit to repair.

There is no substitute for quallity. The only reason draws such as black widow and outback are exspensive is because they are great draws. The old boy had black widow drawers in his 100 and swore by them. took them to the cape. Cheap stuff is usually cheap for a reason, there not made to take a ...

4.5 psi

how much does that thing weigh?. And he is probably running internal bead locks being a rock crawler.

Would you really stick to the older gas guzzler with less power just because it's bigger??? each to his own mate, but do you think that 2.0ltr workin it's ring off to pull the weight is going to last as long as the bigger donk. even if the bigger donk has got less power, with developments in engine ...

8'' rim will be fine just don't run super low pressure. i ran 36/12.5 pedes on my old gq wagon. 12 to 18 psi would be fine. they moulded around rocks nice and never looked like comin of the bead.

i don't think so mate, i've seen a couple of trucks runin shocks upside down, i think the only thing you have to worry about is the fact that the diff moves around alot more than the chassis so strength on the thin end might be an issue, but with a descent shock like rancho on a zook i don't think ...

The only certainty is you never buy the first of any model car, until they have service pack 12 out, and the bugs are gone. i know where your comin from bud, but with nissan and toyota they both have a reputation for not havin many bugs in there 4wd's, even if there are bugs they are usually small ...

lets hope it's bigger than than the 3ltr. it's to small for a car that can pull 3200kgs plus load the back up. as for the shape, i was told it was going to be different but you may be right, they have only had it for a few years, but by 09 it will be 4 years old. nissan seem to be updating the look ...

yeh mate, talkin to nissan they said march 09, but won't tell me much. just wondering if anyone had an inside scoop.

hey guys, has any one heard any info on the new patrol comin out in march 09. All i heard was it's a new shape and engine, but don't know what engine. And lets hope they don't go independant front.

i'll be there in my lux.

hey guys just wondering if any one had pictures or diagram of a tube bar and sliders they have built and fitted to an 83 single cab lux or similar

hey Z()LTON, I KNOW YOUR TRYING TO BE DIFFEREN'T MATE BUT UNLESS YOU HAVE AN UNLIMITED BUDGET AND TIME, THEN YOUR BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE. THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH WHATEVER ANY BODY DESIGNS THE FIRST TIME ROUND. THATS WHY THE GUYS WHO MAKE THE STUFF IN BULK QUANTITIES SPEND ...
