Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I put this motor in my 89 dual cab about 4 years ago and everything has been pefect up until now. It has lost 70% power but only between 2ooorpm and 3000rpm. Ive changed AFM which made no diference (didnt have contact cleaner handy to clean original so just changed with a spare i have). Should i be ...

cheers mate, thats what i needed to know

yeah i knew in NSW it needed engineering but thought in vic things were a bit different

I have a stock standard 2.8 deisel Hilux, if i turbo it will i need engineers for roadworthy in Victoria?

does anyone have an extract from any ADR's regarding exhaust ending at what distance from the cab? (i thought it was 300mm but its been picked on a roadworthy)

Cheers

A bit of "for your information"

Ive had this issue several times on friends cars where they have been in mud and/or water where lights (or whatever load you are running) wont work. Multimeter shows 12vdc at the lights (with lights disconnected for fault finding) but when they are reconnected they ...

I bought this same model redarc from this very seller about 12 months ago. Arrived the next day all good.

After reading the above posts i thought id message him to see what he had to say about a warranty claim and redarc not offering warranty on their solenoids sold on ebay. This was his response ...

Again

Its cheap nasty chinese shitt but mine has lasted 5 years so far, how could you justify anything ...

As was stated above your blinkers will flash faster. Resisters are expensive just add a hidden globe somewhere. One for each blinker that slows it back to normal. Or just deal with the fast blinkers. You can't see them sk won't annoy you

Plug D is not on the engine loom, it is on the body loom of the donor car. Need to find a wrecker that will cut one off for you

i work at a ford dealer in bundy and its my understanding all engines are run in ie no k's on the clock so most likely done during assembly of engine (well probably after its put together) that said id clock up a few k's before really pushing it, just a personal opinion

I work at the Ford factory ...

i need the part about rebuilding swivel hubs and how much pull force i need when adjusting kingpins. Also i heard you need to adjust the height of the swivel hub to center the axle in the inner seal which requires a SST?
I have the haynes manual and its no good unless im missing pages for some reason

Where can i get a toyota workshop manual for a 89 hilux? I rang the local dealer and they said there is no such thing and they pay $10,000 to access a online database. Any help appreciated

Are the tool box being sealed so you can drive thru water ?

Yes.

I have put 2 500gm silica gel bags in each box to see how they go

cheers for the reply,
I did think about those silica gel type products but wasn't sure if they would be enough. If i completely dry out the tool boxes after about a week there is a puddle of water in the bottom of them. Will give it a go

I have just made some under tray toolboxes, I have made them so the are waterproof including the seals on the doors. I finding im getting a lot of condensation on the inside of the boxes. How can i prevent the condensation, i tried putting a breather in each box but it made no difference. Any ideas?

It tripped the CB, RCD, and safety switch at his house as well and the plug and GPO I could hardly touch it was so hot. Depending which wire touched the framework first the whole shed could have been live for who knows how long! CB's and RCD's dont protect from every scenario. No wonder the welder ...

What have people done with the breather line from the fuel tank if the charcoal canister is removed?

what intake pipe are you using, mine did the same thing because i had the IAC valve plumbed in before the A/F meter so that air wasnt being metered

Hmm I did find it hard to get out of 4wd :? Thanks for all your help mate, won't be doing that again. Paj maybe didnt do it due to the auto locking hubs and central dif lock etc?

Yeah not sure about the paj, maybe you didn't have the center diff lock locked causing it to act like and open center ...

Thanks for your help mate. So what is happening is normal for the car? I have driven my dads 99 Pajero on the road in 4wd before (when raining etc) and it does not do the same thing? If the transfer case was to bind on the road, does this mean I would have to go back into 2wd whenever I am on hard ...

Around my street in first gear making sure 4wd actually engages etc. Why would driving it in 4wd on the street do any harm at all unless the diffs are locked?


You are binding the transfer case up. The transfer can be thought of as a locked diff between the front and rear of the car. Even with ...

Hi Guys, just picked up my first 4wd, a 2003 hilux (VZN172R). It seems to have a problem when 4wd is engaged. If it is in 2wd it drives on the road perfectly. If the hubs are engaged but the transfer case is still in 2wd it still drives fine, but when I engage the hubs and put it in 4wd it does go ...

In case anyone searches for this in the future, the tanks are the same petrol - diesel and so are the senders. Single and extra cab tanks are bigger than dual cab tanks so senders are different as well. Fuel pumps are the same across all petrol models
