Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What about the agricultural folk? And commercial and government use? Plenty use the patrol as a solid platform, are they going to keep a GU style ute like Toyota has with in 70-75-78 series??

Landcruiser will be the flagship of Australia for good, if this hunk of shit arives. :x


Cruisers aren't ...

the RB30 is just an off shoot from the L series, just get a R31 cheap give the motor the once over replace everything that needs it and bolt it into the trol, getting the car you get everything you need,

finding those L20ET manafolds, would be a chicken dance, i tried a long time ago for a Z24 ...

your trol fuel injected, if so give DAC a call, he might be able to steer you in the right direction,
if your got a carb then you might be lookin for awhile good carb shops are few and far between,

a little more info would be appreciated, imight be able to steer you in the right direction

hey, i read alot off the forums here and its all good stuff,

my problem is having a navara with a 3.2lt its a not a slug rather a donkey (will move with a lot of whipping), anyway i picked up a turbo manafold from the wreckers about 3 weeks ago, be damned if i can find a decent trubo for it ...

pretty sure its pump timing mark, its where you set the pump to when its all going back together

it's hard to diagnose noise without actually being there, your best bet is to either get a mate to sit in the back and listen to it, or take it to a trusted mechanic

grinding noises are when something is turning with force on it like a bearing under load that's worn out,

squeaks are generally ...

straight down the carby wide open throttle with it running, she will sound like she doesn't like it and may cut out a few times but just keep at it and it will come good, i think gunk builds up under the butterfly's stopping them from closing properly the carb cleaner takes that all away
mind you ...

ha i just had that problem with a zuk i put a motor into, after it warmed up it would sit at 2k like yours as well

i fixed it with a couple of cans of carby clean and holding it wide open spraying the cleaner in till it bogged then stop spraying till the motor picked up then spray again, after ...

those back brake drums may need some attention the shoes could backed off over there lifespan that causes a bad pedal
as far as the passenger tire wearing, i have always took it as the way the road is made
other than that the swivel hub bearings maybe on the way out

other than that there quite a ...

you have any information on the 2nd hand engine's past cause it might of had a freshen up before you got it, also when i have done comp checks at work the tester is fitted into the injector hole rather than the glow plug one, (being Toyo's the a bit different)

Denco diesel IMO i rekon there one of the best down south, very forthcomming with knowledge and very helpful

that ZD30 motor is a bit of a fragile beast isn't it compared to its predecessor that's almost bullet proof, but you have to take the good with the bad there, it's a mule of a motor, 750 to 2500 is where all the power is after that there's no more point to the throttle

the 98-01 maybe early 02 are the series one witch have the QD32 motor, which there's nothing wrong with ( i have one in my 98 ST) and other than fitting a GU2.8lt 100A alternator to it hasn't missed a beat, tho it is sensitive to crap fuel and will chew through it quite fast,
on the modding front ...

thanks for the replys, i think! true i didnt think about this to much at all. I came back from a mates place who runs an aurion twin turbo v6 in his buggy well worth 60k an engine (so im told) and though how cool would a stock one be in the siera. He also offered me an engine at a good price. I ...

the D21's used a f5sw71c for the 4banger petrol and a f5sr30a for the diesels and v6's, mind you its bloody hard to wreck a 30A there a tough box, used in the performance nissan cars.
anyway you should try the usual places like cheapa, also depending what broke a set of bearings quiet things down ...

The motor itself should be easy to set up for north south ( prado, hilux, whatever mounts, trim, gearbox, clutch, starter etc.

It's just a terrible idea to try and put that much motor in a sierra.

Apart from fit, cooling and weight, you'll have to strengthen the rest of the driveline to about ...

you cant fix STUPID some people should be told never to pick up a grinder or for that matter a welder

Hey. I'm new to this forum am just after some suggestions/opinions on this topic.
I have a 1985 MK SWB SD33. I bought this car as a SD33T only to find that the head was cracked and had just been filled with magic head crack filler stuff:( After waiting for about half a year and no turbo motors ...

i found the leak finally it is coming from a banjo bolt on the top of the injector pump it seems to come from the filter anyway it has 2 copper washers on either side of the fitting , i replaced them now it seems to be leaking again from the same spot is there any other way of fixing it, any ideas ...

i've used mike vine a couple of times and a mate of mine raves about him after he had his GQ turbo hiflowed by mike and tuned and it goes like a scolded cat

i seen some high output high freq screamers in jaycar a while back and when turned on they hurt your ears and in a car there hard to find as the noise is too loud to pinpoint where its coming from, anyway i vote for the whole they cant steal what they cant see and a car that wont start is too much ...

there was rumors going around that nissan where scraping the patrol wagon in favor of the Armada from the states, because of declining sales, and other factors to try and compete with the landcruiser again,

as well those 200/70 series diesels do suffer from a fair bit of oil loss, up to putting 2 ...

the best i have seen was a 6 point cage that was designed to be light but strong in the event of a "flop", it was the std in the back the cage tied to the body in the back corners and behind the original roll bar but the front was looped up behind the windscreen and a single piece of tube between ...

if you are playing with boost, and fuel make sure you atleast have a pyrometer and a boost gauge, i've got 4 pistons from various ZD30's that have that nice hole trough the piston from over boosting,

im going down the turbo path atm, im still waiting on the kit to arrive but i have picked the ...

i have a 98 D22 3.2lt
a set of 31in BF muddies and a little suspension tweak and i made it around most of landcruiser park last year, BTW camp road is not so fun with 7ft of air under the front tyres

VT Commodore seats fit you have to re-drill the base for the suzuki rails (fitted to the farm hack LWB)

with a bit of fiddling honda prelude seats fit but the rails need some custom work to work correctly (i fitted them to hilux/serria buggy im building) as well the honda seats are really well ...

just crossed over from the nissan forum,

i have a LJ80 that i'm remaking into a trail rig and i have and deciding on a 4ag with a toyota T50 5sp or the Free way with a nissan Z24 and 5sp


now im not saying a 4ag or Z24 would be the best for you, but one of the earlier KE corolla era 3K,4K,5K ...

i've drained worse outta 20,000km old Landcruisers and Prados at work, i wouldn't bother about it unless the diff is whiny or making banging noises around corners, it looks like a shaving off the crown wheel or pinion, get worried when chunks of gear teeth come out with the oil

yea nah, the bell-housings on both motors are vastly different to each other

if you have every thing from the diesel trol then drop it into your shorty, i just finished swapping a "popped" turbo SD33 out for a NA one for a friend of mine and I'm very suprised how much more torque it has over my 3 ...

i've heard rumors along the grapevine that nissan are planning on using the F alpha chassis (titan) in australia and ditching the patrol as its loosing favor with the average shopping trolley consumer
so we may see the nissan armada on aussie soil to replace the wagon, and still have the trol ute as ...
