Outer Limits 4x4 Board

nice video, mine is more of a tow truck that can now pass others up any hill, unlike the old 4.2, it can still melt the tyres thouhg.
i am currently changing the cam to a 225 at 50 duration so that should wake it up a little.
What size exhaust do you have, i have a 2.5" single but are considering ...

I didnt want 2 snorkels as i dont think that it would look rite, it may be better ballanced though, the problem with running out the drivers side is the lack of space due to the main battery, water bottle and brakes in the way

Hi all,
My 1990 GQ has a 454 vortec motor with twin 425 impco gas mixers. The current setup has the 2 mixers on their side each with 4" tubing blending together onto the top of the inlet manifold with one 850 DP holley base plate. Then there is an exposed oval filter on the mixers.

I want to add a ...

Get a vehicle with as much engine torque as you can (within reason) and make sure that its not reving to high to achieve it otherwise you will be gearing down all the time
My 454 GQ is by far the best thing i have ever owned for towing, 4x4 driving and as a daily driver, there is nothing you cant ...

i have a gq wagon with a 454 that uses its share of fuel.
I was thinking that if i could move the chassis crossmember that is behind the gearbox forward then i could get a third gas tank under, at the moment there is only 780mm in length and thats a small tank

My question is has anyone done this ...

GO THE 454
I have a 454 in a gq now after having a 351 before, the 454 is so much better, uses less fuel and has a lot more power. the 351 was not that great at all, however it was awsome in my XY, power to weight thing really.
The 454 also fits in the gq really well, nothing to close and no pannel ...

I've had this problem before, i would start by putting all the old leads back on and then the old coil. check that there is not a lead arcing across to the head somewhere. This can be seen in the dark easier
check for a good stable 12V at the coil and there is no wiring or distributor cap damage ...

set the speed with it running on petrol first,
there will be a LPG idle mixture screw on the mixer or convertor most likely the convertor in your case by the looks of the picture, dont adjust the main inline flow control is for cruise and full power

Get a callibrated torque wrench and a bit of hex bar, put your torque wrench with socket on it onto one side of the hex bar and do the same on the other side of the hex bar with the callibrated torque wrench,
set both to 100 N.m.
Pull both together then match your setting to the callibrated one at ...

Sounds like your talking about mud racing, id definatly go a V8 with a worked auto and then try it with std diff ratios, just let the auto pick the best gear, or manually shift, manual gear box would be to slow. Plus the added clutch work your leg would need to do. Waterproofing should be no problem ...

sorry this is for 33x12.5x15 km2's

i have been looking very hard to get a set of these and there are only 2 in Vic that i could find, 4 in dubbo and 4 in launceston. No one can order them and the stockist doesnt know when they will be getting any more

Thanks for that i will take out and have look

Hi to all
I have a 1990 gq lwb, the problem is that the trip meter and the odometer decide to work only when they want to. The needle always indicates the speed correctly its just the km's that done roll around all the time.
There doesn't seem to be any reason to why it stops or just starts again ...

ive got bfg muddys in 33s on my gq LWB they are 70,000 old and still 10-15000 left, still grip well if let down to 20. i will be buying the new pattern when the time comes.

nissan have the input shaft seal, aournd $30, not sure about the output though

thanks for the sugestions
i have thought about a small truck and it may be the best option, and probably capable enough off road as a 2wd considering what it will be carrying. i wanted to get away from using a tent and a roof top tent wont work with little kids.
the idea of a slide on was to use a ...

finding a f truck twin cab is not easy,
i knoww that 6 feet would be better as there are a lot more slide on's around but 6 feet is quite small.
thought about the Defender but i dont know about their comfort or power, might be wrong but its what i have heard

I am currently looking for a vehicle to do all these things at once
your thoughts will be helpfull

I need it to be able to
tow my 18' speed boat
carry 4 people
carry a slide on camper 9-10 feet long, i will custom build this to suit vehicle
mild 4x4 driving into campsites etc

a std car licence ...

The thermostat is to regulate the temp as you say, but even when it is fully open it reduces the flow, this is a bad thing. Removing it helps a system which is struggeling in other areas, but cold days are a problem

on the pirate4x4.com home page they have a tech article describing all the cooling miths like thermostats, water amd air flows. makes a lot of sence and is opposite to what most so called experts say.

Or use rubber fuel line about 50mm long slit down side and push on edge of bonnet near the hinge, you may need a bit of glue as I found that mine vibrated around without it

Thats not quite right, the impco 300A or similar mixer that most Impco systems use do have mixture screw on top. The L & R are for main gas flow for cruise/ top end supply not idle
There is sometimes a cover bolt on top of this screw, it is verticle and inside the mixer top body

To set

You can hose ford GT shaker straight into the front and the filter will not get wet, its below the front opening.
Any water runs off the top plate that holds the filter on and into the shaker bowl and then drains out through small holes around the edges

SHCS's would not normally use any type of washer under the head.

Can bo done
Use 40 nom bore extra light structural pipe for the pole 48.3 OD 2.3mm this gives an ID of 43.7mm
Then use 32 nom bore medium black pipe for the support 42.4 OD 3.2mm
Therefore a loose fit of 1.3mm, the inside seam will reduce this to a nice fit.
2.3mm wall pole will be more than ...

I agree, i had a similar problem with the LPG controler dropping the MSD coil out. Just give the LPG box direct 12 volt to see if that helps.
if it does then find another engine running 12 sigal to run the LPG box, its only a twin input relay really.

Ultimate radiators in berwick in enterprise avenue.
Great guy and very helpfull. Just repaired my tb42 rad and recored a xygt 351 one for me both done in less than 24 hrs at a good price.

Nissan will sell you the top seal, last one i bought was around $30

Yes to while engine is in, just remove the aircon evaporator from the mounts to allow enough length, if you can get the lifters up through the head then it can stay on
