Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Run it physically dry. I found i was getting only 200klms to a 95L tank, rb30, standard exhaust manifold/exhaust and carby. Got another 3-400ish klms when the needle was on empty.

Have checked the sender unit in the tank. Still haven't figured this one out. Learnt to live with it.

On performance vehicles I've always used a carter black or gold pre pump, and one or more bosch 440's. have used holley pre's before. Had a few dramas.
Never had a problem with carters.

I got a noise defect on my pp rx7. De registered the vehicle, got a rwc from a sympathetic mechanic and re rego'd.
Definatly a dodgy way to go about things, but worked at the time.

brought it over today. will be a simple fix, anything i should know? It's a pretty cool setup actually. do they break often? looks less fragile than a cv.

I would assume so. It was making a crunch noise when turning, then a bang offroad, then no power to front wheels.
I'm going off what he's told me, have not had a geez under the car yet.

I run R30 in my peripheral port RX7, I usually drain the tank between uses anyway, so oil settling isn't a major issue. Although, when i ran a 51ml weber instead of the injection it was street driven, so this wasn't practical. I used to add a capfull or two of toluene to the tank when i added oil wh...

also, I've never actually been in, or under any kind of jeep. Forgive my ignorance.

Hey jeep people! Mates bought himself a JK for a first fourby, and on the maiden voyage smashed a CV. Whats the going rate for a replacement, and how different is it from a patrol/cruiser/lux set up? I've never been under one before and have heard the setup is slightly different to a typical solid a...

i actually have a GQ....this lux is my housemates. It's a 1990 dual cab syleside. It's not a daily so will give it a crack soon and let you guys know how it goes. Does anyone know where i can get an ally set of blocks with bolts the right length to suit a lux? i would assume the bolt size would be d...

Hey guys, First cab off the rank, I have checked the bible, and found only a link to poly v steel/ally block, nothing specific to the hilux. I've also performed a search, using different parameters and got no results (i must be searching incorrectly, keyed in "hilux" as a test, with toyota...

Yeah, they were out in 1990. Mines a 90' model and has a factory fitted thirty.

i'd be in.

as far as i was aware, we fitted them according to the tags on the springs. It was 2 am though. It has no factory trailing arms, an adjustable panhard, but not draglink. Unfortunately, since moving back into the city i have nowhere to do the required tooling. All of my tools/compressor and spring co...

Yep, the big red ones with the extreme logo and onion ring type slip on sleeve.

I was under the impression that the bump stop on the compressing side of the diff would restrict down travel on the extending side. Have i f-cked something up?

The bump stops have been modified to suit the shocks and has been tested at maximum possible articulation. I know they have a decent warranty, but i wasn't sure if they'd honour the warranty if i wasn't the original buyer.

I was actually very happy with how it performed till the shocks packed it in. i do push the car a bit for something with minor modifications. Anyone have any suggestions on what would be a suitable replacement?

Hey everybody, I bought a second hand set of EFS extreme 4'' springs and shocks for my gq about 8-9 months ago. I knew the bloke i bought them off, and they were maybe 5000 klms old, if that. I've done about 5000 klms on them, and the drivers side is sagging HEAVILY. I can understand the uneven weig...

I've got to do something about the poor front articulation my LWB gives. I currently have a very basic set up consisting of 4'' EFS extreme springs and shocks, offset radius arm bushes, radius arm spacers, nil sway bars, 33'' muddies. I was looking at the dobbin x link, and superior superflex radius...

Do you know where they're made bogged? Looks like the pics are from a jeep. I'm sure they're a multi fit item, but if there were a pair specifically fabbed to suit a patrol, following the step in the guard at the very top to keep with the body line etc it could look pretty good.

Has anyone got pictures of tube flares on a GQ? Haven't seen them on a gq that's still used as a road car before. Looking at a chop when i put new arms and springs in and i reckon they'd be suitable.

I'm biased, because i work for cummins, but i would definatly go with valvoline premium blue. Good ash content and more than suitable for a TD42. Good oil, and good filtration is cheap insurance.

More than happy to help anyone on the forum out with lube/filters, shoot me a PM.

had a mechanic do my swivel hubs and bearings done 500 odd k ago because i needed them done on that day as i was doing around 250 klm a day for work, plus i've never done them before..I've noticed the hubs get pretty hot. Too tight?

Hey everyone, the gearbox in my rb30 gq was up to shit, so i bought another one and a new clutch. A friend who's a mechanic (at a gearbox place) pulled the box down and said it was in top nick, synchro's were perfect, gears were perfect, everything was great and that it'd be a waste of money to rebu...

Why not use a box from a GQ that's been fitted with an rb30 from the factory? I've got one here complete from bellhousing to transfer case that would need a rebuild.

opposite lock or 4wd systems

Hey guys. I've got a 1990 gq, with an rb30. I've got to change the clutch and gearbox as the box is all-about stuffed and the clutch was slipping in top gear on sand on the weekend. Before putting my spare box in i would like to fit a set of reduction gears, so i can avoid riding the clutch like i d...

few q's.... new to xlinks and know next to nothing about them. What welding is required and how do you do castor correction? Whats the basic principle behind it and how does the system provide more articulation?

Rb30 here.

I just had this rectified by having the swivel hub shims replaced and a new set of wheel bearings. started off intermittantly and with time became constant. still get a bit of a wobble, but i'm sure thats because the panhard bush has had a good dose of leaking power steering fluid on it.
