Hi

I did a quick search in the archives with nil success.

Has anyone upgraded a 2.8 Turbo GU to a TD42T motor? I am aware of the drvrs side engine mount difference but what other challenges might I meet?

My donor vehicle has the complete driveline too if required.

Thanks
Peter

Looking for some more info for this event, what time does it start on the Friday? And what time does it finish on the Sunday? See http://www.goldcoast4wdclub.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=43 for details. Usually around 5pm Friday start and finishes late lunchtime Sunday ...

Yeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Team Waeco - an XWC win at last!! We thought we'd blown it on that last stage when the winch broke, one (reverse winch) downhill from the finish. What a fantastic weekend and now with a fairytale finish for us! As we missed out making a speech at the presentation I'd just ...

Hi Heath - include me - BlindReindeer - ie Team Waeco, we will be there unless the truck does not survive the Ateco / get back in time.

I've already completed the application form and $ are on their way v soon.

Does anyone have the entry list / car #'s? The OBC web site is useless.

Im actually keen to find out what # Sternbeck and Calcino in the dual cab Hilux are...

Thanks
Peter

Thanks Heath Did I see the Steve roll? Which one :-) the one in the winch challenge no - but was in line nearby and heard the crowd cheer. That was right over and drive on... the one on to its side only in the all terrain - yes - that left rock on the exit of the tyre pit/ logs caught out a few ...

By word of mouth: Peter Sterling / Paul Espig - 1st Al Tierney / Mike Topfer - 2nd Peter Lepherd / Andrew Derry - 3rd No idea of others results sorry or stage winners. Maybe Lance/Scotty will put some results up on a web site somewhere - Maybe thats an idea for OuterLimits - an official results ...

Thanks Tony.


Peter

Anybody at the presentation last night hear 1st - 3rd??? We had to leave early...

Peter

anybody know who won super modified?

(asks he who just missed out on qualifying)

Peter

We just did this in the shorty but without the intercooler and we kept our Safari Turbo. Alternator was easy, starter motor same, we fitted a new clutch at same time. Yeh Rear main was different. The fuel pumps vary dramatically - evidently Nissan were trying to improve emissions. The new pump will ...

I just called Rob for verification on some of these questions. Rob Clarke - Event Organiser - has asked me to let all know that : 1. the 2005 Entry Form will be available / distributed *very* soon 2. that the event will be run on the Hinchcliffe property only this year 3. the entry fee will be ...

I do... but if doing it again would seriously consider the newer trend of running a huge truck style inlet down the back of the cab and under the seat etc etc. You will see this on Kym Boltons truck at the XWC at Emu Creek and a successful green Gold Coast GQ at the LCMP Expo in May. Peter ...with ...

I know where there is a brand new Patrol Safari Intercooler kit in its box is if anyone is interested (on the Gold Coast). I have no idea on price yet - will have to ask owner. What are they worth new?

C ya there - we'll be there for the lot incl winch challenge.

Peter

That sux. Sorry to hear it. It was an unusual whine when I went for a ride in your beast. I know Marks Adaptors dont have this adaptor as stock yet having inquired recently. It's really a custom job. I do have a spare GQ gearbox with undetermined spare parts possibly of use. Option 2 might be to ...

A hi-mount hydraulic is available here now. Mal Storey of Maxidrive fame has a conversion to stick a hydraulic motor onto the gearbox of an 8274. Works really well by all accounts, especially with the PTO hydraulic pump he sells to fit the t/case on landrovers. Regards Max P Back in 02 I was a ...

Lao I have not competed in the Outback Challenge, nor used / tested Tmax, but HAVE competed in the "Xtreme Winch Challenge" Series here in Australia for most of the last 3 years. By far the most popular competition winch is the Warn 8274 and by observation only, many of these vehicles are competing ...

Yeh - its a nightmare haviing justgone through it all with my Shorty GQ ute. I suggest the following authorities: 1. Your State Dept Transport Rules so you can get it approved there, 2. CCDA - if you compete in their events mainly, and their rules refer to CAMS, which say 6 point. 3. Other specific ...

But will the Rangie Wrecker be competing ably anyway?? The horses mouth told me very recently that the Rangie had heart problems on Sunday?

Is the beast healthy again yet Andy?

Looky here - I have a "Battle of the Presidents" going! Hehe.

Mmmmm - maybe I should re-think helping the Gold Coast club win the Logan Challenge this year - then again - they probably won last year (for the first time) by me staying out of it

And I was about to give Rob, Andy and team, including you Bruce, another big Thanks for organising such a fantastic weekend but then I saw it was going to be in August again- mmmm - time for me to upgrade the sleeping bag! It is a fantastic event and if we can get a few more out-of-towners to visit ...

Gee Thanks Bruce - what are you really saying about my truck?
(Blind Reindeer Returns from a long outerlimits absence)

I thought "The Fridge" went pretty well over the weekend.

Hey Big Red

I grew up in Coffs but have been on the Gold Coast since having a fourby. Are there any good tracks down there?
