Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I HAVE A GQ WITH A HOLDEN VT v8

ITS A ANIMAL

I CAN SMOKE UP 35'S NO PROBLEMS

HAS STANDARD NISSAN MANUAL & 2.8TD DIFF GEARS

I DO PLAN TO PUT A CHARGER ON EVENTULLY. :shock:

As good as the 265 Hemi was in it's day, I'm not sure this will help :)
And your Caps Lock key is stuck on too ...

as for webbers i will most likely be getting a quad webber manifold for the rover and fitting webber injection to overcome the issues with angles and carbies.

WHOOOSHH!

The LS9 would probably work well. Lots of bottom end. 6.2 litre supercharged from the factory making about 640hp before tweaking. That'll spin up the 44's.

Back it with an AWD 6L90E

if u put 285's and a lift on a jk on road it rides like shit and the esp sensors come on more quickly cause of the movement and the flex. in an auto wrangler u loss overdrive with 285's and secondly 285 dont come standard on a jk
they come stock with 17's and some of the first ones out came stock ...

I plan on doing most of the work myself, I might pay someone to cut and weld the new panel in but am pretty keen to do it myself. There is only one place in Weipa that does it and they want around $9000 for complete job with tray.

I thought $400 sounded a bit rich, I know mates that got mod plates ...

Well depends which state you are in but it doesn't take much lift to fit 35's to them I have heard a 1" bodylift does the trick, but then others have said you need a 1" body lift to run 33's, if you fit 35's it would be illegal anyway, but 33's are definately legal, they come factory with 32's ...

There was a recall on auto's to do with the transmission catching fire.

CRD.
I am waiting for the 5.7 Hemi.
The Rubi also comes standard with 4:1 reduction transfer as well as the diff locks disconnects and plenty more tricks the japs will soon copy.
Heck next they'll be copying things like 3.2 transfer case ratios, 4 wheel discs and coil spring live axles from 1971 ...

I have the non rubicon JK and they are great. I can only imagine what the Rubi would be like but the sport went well stock. All I have is steel front and rear bars and see from the pics in the link, I had a great day at Citiview.

285/70x17 Maxxis Bighorns fit fine no scrubbing onroad, I dded a 50mm spacer lift to be sure offroad and they performed great offroad and on so far.

I took the new beast off road over the Austrailia day weekend up at the Springs and have to say I'm very impressed with it's offroad performance as were a fw others. We did some moderate to hard offroad traxks giving me the oportunity to test the Adventure Pack rock rails, and they did the job great ...

There are 2 types of people who have these - 1/ responible club members who use them for traction hence no wheel spin & 2/ Peope who love mud ( or wet conditions ) and just want to thrase about with out any regard for the enviroment or other peoples future driving wishes .

How do I summerise this ...

Oh yes indicator lever on the left is insane, I haven't found a right hand drive conversion kit for it yet, it drives me nuts and confusese other cars around me, it should be illegal to import vehicles unless the indicator is on the correct side of the steering wheel.

I've had two cars with the ...

I think the way some speed and timed 4x4 comps are run has to take some blame. If you had no clue about 4x4ing and went to speed and timed comp your first impression of 4x4ing would that its about going through the bush on the rev-limter as fast a possible with no regard for track damage or car ...

They close 60-80% of tracks and they have to expect the remaining ones to be worked harder.
I don't see a problem with hard sections of track as long as a good chicken track is maintained around it.
Nost greens have no idea how much actual bush there is and damage from 4x4's is peanuts compared to ...

Oh and my fuel economy sems to be around 17-18l/100km with city driving but I have a heavy right foot, I got it down to 15l/100km on a 300km freeway trip.
I think the fuel tank is actually 85litres on exports, the brochure said something like 71l, but I put 70l in and the fuel warning light hadn't ...

G'day.
Rainbow Warrior.
I am now seriously thinking of buying a JK Rubicon.. As this will be my daily driver, what are these like on road ?
I will be also taking these off road (rocks, mud etc).
It will not be a Toorak Tractor... I will use it as it has been designed.
NFI.
On road it seems o ...

at this stage i cant have two vehicles
where im living i wouldnt be able to
good suggestions i like the idea lol
i did know me ole man wanted to put 265 hemi with a turbo set up
he was a die hard chrysler fan
im not far behind him either lol
but it seems there gettin harder to get
302 or 351 ...

rainbow that would be a great option but me old man gave me the 4wd before he died so it will have to die before i get rid of it
like i said tho my motor goin strong just curious to wat ppl have to say
im also a ford fan over holden but the vl option aint to bad an idea
Fair eniugh, just bear in ...

wats everyones thoughts on a new motor for me mq
i dont need one yet but hey im sure i will eventually
currently sd33t 5 speed
now not lot dollars so would want somethingthats easliy converted and obtained
my thought were old ford motors
say 302/352
250 xflow
or even old hemi 265
would like to ...

I put a GQ disk brake rear end under my old GQ, but you had to change the whole thing as the housings are slightly different width from drum brake to disc rear ends, and there's a spacer block ibn the diff too apparently to sort the axle lengths out.

Something that has an option for a 5 speed PTO winch like Landrovers did

are nissan axles full floating?

Serg

Nope - semi floating.

Umm there is a Nissan full floating rear, rare as hens teeth, we saw one on the rear of a Nissan GQ based Ambulance in QLD.
Anyways, they don't break so no need for them to be full floating, full floaters are for quick axle swaps if ...

Has anyone found a good universal dash pod to mount a CB in or triple guage pod I could modify,

I just brought a JK 4 dr Rubicon to replace my aging GQ Dual Cab, and I cn't comment on it's offroad ability yet other then it seems to have all the right gear and has awesome low gearing on some crossed up grass ditch work, I've tried. The engine seems to lack bottom end torque a bit but other ...

A mate had a LWB in Brisbane, that he put a Gemini gearbox in, he also put a Gemini diesel motor in it and later added a turbo too. He sold it about 3 years ago, last seen in Northgate mechanics yard.

thats scary seing its hevyer then the f250 to start with then upping it to allmost doubble the weight of the tow car.

Question - What happens with trucks, B-Doubles, Road Trains then? :?:
The rig is no where near the same weight as what they are leagally allowed to tow.

A believe the weight ...

Do the maths:

assume peak torque at 3000 rpm (best volumetric efficiency)

4 litre engine = 4 litres every 2 revs, swept volume -> 2 litres required per rev.

at say 7.5 psi boost = .5 atm

to calculate the volume of air required per minute: displacement per revolution x absolute pressure boost x ...
