Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Unless your running an endless air i cant see a valve core causing inconvinience to most 12v compressors (the new ARB twin motor might be the exception) currently an endless air 6cfm with plans to add a tank and the arb twin motor compressor... i.e. 12cfm inflating one tyre is not a big deal, but ...

slightly off topic - but has anyone created/modified one of these deflaters to pull the valve core when inflating tyres?

i'm no engineer, but logic tells me that if a tyre deflates faster without a valve stem, then it must also inflate faster without one too.

I run a set of 35x13.5x15 on my swb sierra. Onroad - they are fantastic. Mine are unbalanced on mechanical beadlocks and run very true. They are fairly quiet unless the ground is wet - then they howl quite loudly. Flatspotting overnight is minimal - and they take very little time to 'correct ...

i'm no vitara guru, but this sounds similar to an issue i have witnessed on a baleno motored sierra.. the problem turned out to be MAP sensor due to a split rubber vaccum hose on the engine. it could be worth checking out your hoses first if you are trying to watch your wallet. the other suggestion ...

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has replaced their standard tyre valves for a larger valve (i.e. Nitto 1/4") to allow faster tyre inflation?

If yes - what setup (fittings / meter / pressure valve) did you use?

Thanks,
Greg

sorry pete - i forgot your car was a poser.

oh well. at least it looks good

you could have converted back to spring under and solved the steering problem and the rear spring destruction issue at the same time by now pete

under-diff clearance is not an issue when the car is sitting in the shed missing out on trips because you can't steer it

WTF would you pay $65 US for those whn you can get these for $69 US from Lowrange??? http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/images/samurai/suspension/upperfronttower.jpg These don't have to be weld on, I have heard of a guy who used hi tensile roofing screws to fix them to the chassis (doesn't charge ...

The Front and Rear Vit whole diff center or only the R&Pgears?
Can you use Grand Vit Diffs or only the older Vit diffs?

ring and pinion only.

any vitara front as i understand things.

cut the floor out of the car and raise the tank.

not a quick and easy solution, but it will give you the clearance that you are after.

You might need to plug into the brown wire that comes out of the loom next to the sierra coil.... that's the tacho signal wire.

nice work chris...

i remember at the end of the red hard top's life it was chopped up with a 9inch and put into the rubbish bin over many weeks

For bonus point Dewse - try to find a photo of the original big steve sierra...

dropping the case with it's mounting brackets will also make it much easier

don't forget to remove the boot and gear stick first too.

i vote for GQ diffs... the easy option isn't always the best option. just because the MQ come close to bolting in - that's not enough reason to pick them. just pull the body off the car and move put a different transfer in there to sort out the diff offset issue. really - how hard could it :armsup:

bit off topic but noticed zooks with chromos mentioned whats the limits with these will they handle a 35 silverstone i think it is as much about the terrain and the driving style than just the tyres, but for the sake of reference, i have some trail tough chromo front axels with 35" krawlers that ...

Having fun Greg?

it's the answer to the question you never asked.

actually - i'm saving grimbo's keyboard one reply at a time

Which brand would you reccommend? Superior engineering to suit 2" body lift or low range offroad ? make sure you complete the steps in order Mcwilly - that will help you make a better decision. 1. design suspension 2. setup springs and shackles (assuming leaf sprung) 3. measure max stuff and droop ...

given that this is a 4wd website, i will assume that you want a bit of off-road commentry too. personally i have never driven one, but a direct quote from a club member down here: "jimnys - drivetrain made of glass" I presume he meant the weak sort of glass that you find in light bulbs rather than ...

Pics or it didnt happen :) That's a fair enough comment i guess - it's hard to believe that a car could possibly be taller than AJSR's... Next time i see it, i will try to have the camera ready with a fish eye lense to ensure i manage to get both the very top of the roof, and the very bottom of the ...

Attention AJSR - your tallest suzuki title could be under threat!

Today i saw a bright yellow highroof sierra on some muddies cruising along dandenong road.

There is a risk that another suzuki could infact look even more unstable than your car when placed on any side angle over 5%.

comon guys... Driver91 is looking for some good and proper advise here from the experts... i think we should make sure we give it to him - otherwise, there is a risk he could end up with something resembling a sierra lwb ute (styleside) - and nobody wants that. i agree with what the others have said ...

Awesome exhaust work! It's all 2" with extractors, 2 hotdogs, a triple flow and a cat... all of it mounted above the bottom-line of the chassis. there's quite a bit of head scratching in that exhaust - but the end result is a car with an exhaust volume you can talk over the top of - which is great ...

you do realise sierras have an offset rear output? only way to do it is run the second sierra tcase upside down but then you have shifting and oiling issues you could run triple transfers... he has said that he owns 3 of them. the first one goes in the stock position, and the other two are bolted ...

The G13bb ECU takes input from the power steer pump to know when to rev harder. Find this wire to cause the idle up to occur.

Otherwise, why not put a hand throttle on it?

i think it's spot welded - or the equivilent of being spot welded.

if it has come loose, i'm guessing the tank has seen a lot of rattling or has been dented?

CJ, How about talking to Matt (TT) - perhaps he could cut a length of something with some splines in it and make it up for you? Otherwise, i'm thinking that dobbins would surely make a more expensive shaft than snake racing... that would have to be the way to go. http://www.dobbinengineering.com ...

has anyone done power assist off a vitara box

there have been a few buildups on pirate that had modifications to a vitara box to run a ram.

there was also one fellow that modified the pump for better flow which was also supposed to increase steering assistance
