Outer Limits 4x4 Board

well its coming out of a diesel model. The guy reckons it has SD33 on the engine plate in the engine bay. But has told me its a turbo diesel. i thought maybe it has been turbo'd down the track. No idea

Hi guys, looking at buying a front diff assembly from a MQ troll. On the compliance plate, it has SD33 bla bla bla, he can't read the rest of the information. I had the guy remove the inspection plate on the diff and he read "JH37:8 AM1120" of the crown wheel. Just trying for find out what the ratio ...

Sorry, the gq/gu diff housing is to wide apparently. the mq is the correct width as the WD21 rear.

Yeh the MQ diff needs to be rotated. Hmm I'll get the guy to confirm the ratio on the MQ diff. How do you know what the ratio is? Do you have to open it up? Is it stamped on the housing by any chance?

The GQ diff is to wide. What you going to do about the rear? Change that as well?

Ok everyone, I'm planning on doing a SAS Conversion on my WD21. One question I have (sorry, maybe stupid) is what ratio front diff should I be using? How does all this work? I have found a guy sell a front diff housing with 3.43 gears. He reckons its the standard ratio across the MQ range - L28 ...

Hey guys, thinking about putting my V6 3.0L Pathfinder on LPG. Just wondering what you guys think? I understand stand that some engines aren't compatible and want to know if the V6 is.

Yeh i found some trailer stub axels for $20 seems ok. Just need to find the bit the slides over it....

Hey everyone, hope all is well.

Silly question, but what/how/where does everyone buy those stub axels that you guys weld to the rear bar and attack rear carriers. Do you have to get the sleeve machined and also how does the bearing system work?

Just curious as I want to make up a carrier soon.

Don't forget with solid colours, such as white, it's easy to blend a small area thats damaged and buff it out. Where as candy's, metallic, flakes etc are aren't as easy to blend.

A good solid 2K job will last along time and is easy to repair.

you prep it...if your in Melb I can swing by and give you some tips. You do all the prep and i'll be more than happy to gun the car at your place.

You can cut most of the dust out of 2k Solid, where as COB you can't really do much in that sense.

what kind of tips do you guys need? i can TRY and help. Not saying I'm the greatest painter in the world but have had some very nice jobs. Just finished a triple layer pearl on a Nissan S15 200SX. White base and ground coats, blue over lay, 2k HS Clear

Guys didn't say that to bag out what you were doing? A lot of my mates have done these jobs. Just find it funny as to see a spray can job...

Best of luck at getting those guns for $200 champ

HAHAHAHA this thread cracks me up. I'm used to painting cars and bikes in 2K Clear over Base and also triple layer candy pearls with my $500 Iwata and $800 Sata guns....then I read this about painting cars with $5 spray cans. LOVE IT hahaha

Thanks heaps for all the responses guys. I have thought of all the necessary mods such as brake lines and rad hoses, but never thought about the gear selector. I'll go 2 inch I think. I just go my first set of muddies - MT117 Xtremes 33x10.5's and I have very minimal clearance. I trimmed the outer ...

Hey guy's going to do a 2 or 3 inch body lift on my '92 Triton. I can get aluminum spacers machined up pretty cheap. Just wondering what would be better, poly or alloy. I just have this image in my head that the poly will flex like hell. I'm going to get under the car and count the mounting points ...

nope, aint the hand brake. hand brake is (P)

Hey guys, I've got a light on my dash that looks like - (!) What does this mean? Comes and goes. Been on for over a month.....

Sorry to jump into the topic, but Scott, what did you mean by re-index the torsion bars?

thanks for the info mate. seems to be pretty good. does wat i want/need.

will read into it more

Hey guys, looking at fitting dual batteries to my Triton. Was looking at purchasing this projecta item.

http://www.projecta.com.au/catalogue/ci ... set_id/151

or running a manual isolation switch. What you guys think? Please don't tell me to get a super expensive ARB kit. I'm poor :(

I just had my centre bearing and tailshaft joint fixed, also tail shaft balanced.

Before fixing them the vibration over 90 -100km/h's was so bad I had to re-adjust my mirrors.

All good now.

I think the air bleed ones are used in high mount turbo applications from memory

Yeh they are turbo bags. XTR also make them. My brother had a few issues with these on his Drag Car. I don't think these are suited to high high high horsepower cars. It ended up cooking the bag. Smoke pouring out of the engine bay. That said, a few mates run them on the VL turbos and haven't had ...

Guys, I can get a set of 35's MT117's cheap. Just wondering if it would be overkill on a '92 V6 Petrol Turbo Triton? Would I have issues with these tyres?

I did my o2 Sensor the other day. Heaps better fuel economy. It's easy to fit. 10 minutes with a multi-meter and solder. 2 black is heater (non polarity sensitive) one earth, which I THINK is green, and yellow which I THINK is ECU feed.

not enough amps, or to high wire speed. try dropping the wire speed. proper gas flow?

Thanks for all your comments guys. The Triton isn't my only vehicle. I have another car which I can use if I total the Triton. The Triton is still used 90% of the time though. I've heard the Sierra's are very underpowered. Just looking at cost of mods on both vehicles. Such as engine reco's etc if ...

dammm - i can get 16in 32's with rims for $170 or $190 a corner. Can't remember.

opps maybe this should have gone in General Chit Chat...my bad! Damn Noobs

Hey guys, just wondering who stocks/has in stock Mongrel Tyres. I'm located in Dandenong, Melb.

I have a funny feeling they don't make them anymore. No website, no reply of emails....
