Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have you checked the oil? How is it running? It should be running like a dog.

I am assuming a carby motor, but a couple of years ago I had a split in the fuel pump diaphragm. The split then allowed fuel to run into the sump, which then bypassed back to the fuel tank. It hadn't done much distance ...

Paul, I have an 06 Sahara and reckon it is great. It is a towing machine a bit of the time and I have to cater for that.

The mass of the rear bar with a wheel at times, drawers with fridge and tools in the back, recovery gear plus a draw bar weight applied over 200kg you need more carrying ...

Nissan would have denied the warranty claim on the basis of it "not being a manufacturing fault" I imagine. We all know Nisssan Patrol diffs are competition strong, don't we? I had a worrying five months taking the issue with them from July last year on a 03 Patrol in the extended warranty period ...

Check out the rear coil towers. They have a tendency to push up with weight and speed giving shock to the suspension. They may need reinforcement, or if you do the same, they will. I know of some that have torn the towers out of the chassis. Plated over the top is the best fix, side to side.

Look ...

Hi guys, has some fun tracking down a problem with the Maruti/Suze engine and couldn't trace it. We thought the employees had refuelled with a petrol can that had previously had sump oil in it, then we just thought the engine was clagged, well that was the next time :bad-words:

Mechanic was ...

Thanks i wont be doing tuff truck or anything just a weekend warrior only other thing i gotta find out is if it will fit in my genuine nissan winch bar of my 2002 guiii.

Mate I have a 12,000 pound one in my Nissan winch bar no trouble, you have to put them in upside down and undoing the 10 Allen ...

I mounted my 240 Blitz on a RHS tube that has the nuts housed intelnally and blocked at the front so nothing can easily undo them. Have the bolts from the RHS pinned then with 4mm roll pins so anyone who thought they may pinch them, will have a shock having to undo the nuts :P There is a ramp form ...

Why don't you put GU difs front too, at least you wouldn't break em and you get the flexibility of all the options

Toughnut, that can only ever be a dream....

I guess I would have to ask myself though how many holes I would want to cut in the bonnet. Have the intercooler scoop there already. I woudn't mind a bigger one I guess and section part of it to the intercooler and part to engine bay cooling

Have been tossing around in my head lifting the back of the bonnet to let more hot air out there but have to stop it flowing into the cab air intake. You are right though it does get very hot.

My GU ute has a cool air box around the original battery position, but it all gets hot, hot, hot.

Not sure about that. Wink

I had seen the docket Linc and it was lower than they had quoted as I understand. I didn't want to embarrass anyone on it though. It was apparently teriffic service delivery too ...

I am surmising, the wifie organised it for my Christmas pressie. I just fitted it. It arrived lower than expected and quicker too.

Bolted to the spot without a hammer being used except the handle as a lever. I was rapt you may imagine especially when I found the 0 -> 100 kph times dropped by 16 ...

Yello Rangie mine was bought from Beaudesert Exhaust Systems and wsa sent to Westen Victoria arriving in three days. It ended up cheaper than they quoted for some reason. Fitted it on Christmas night including the three inch dump pipe. It is a four part system inclusive of the dump pipe and all ...

Agree with the post above, I fitted a Beaudesert system on Christmas night and feel it is tremendous. Mind you mine is a GU ute but the parts are labelled for the respective systems. A little bit of a drone before I put the muffler on. They say there is no advantage taking the muffler off as the ...

Thanks for the response. I am keen to know also whether it would be ok to get the actuation pressure for the waste gate from the manifold side of the intercooler or would it have a detrimental effect on the turbo. :bad-words: Would it slow down the actuation too much ? By rights you would think it ...

I have been told the inlet air pressure on an intercooled 4.2T diesel is 2-3 psi lower behind the intercooler than before the intercooler. That is of course supposed to be denser air but due to the restriction of the intercooler it is actually lower than is the case before the intercooler - pissy ...

Actually guys there is a lot of adjustment on the bracket once you undo the bolts. I found it made quite a bit of difference between the front/rear braking balance to do it. It had been too much on the front brakes before I adjusted it.

The fronts were locking up and the ute tended to be poor in ...

at 0.99 pounds, can it break a copywrite do you think?

There is a site in the UK also selling it at A$30, which is a bit more like one may expect, and has some good screen shots of the Adobe pages. I am looking forward to my copy in the next few days.

SootyGU I understood the Beaudesert Exhausts system exhaust has an integral dump pipe, in other words the dump pipe is part of their exhaust - right from the casting of the turbo.

I want to head down the manderel bent path myself soon. Who supplies the least expensive solution?

Guys, has anyone any knowledge of the 3" exhaust that begins at the turbo body rather than have a dump pipe mentioned earlier?

It strikes me that if you can do it then it would be cheaper unless it is just a casting that can stand the temperatures. Beaudeset Exhausts were quoting that way but ...

Greg have a posting in the earlier page and a pic attached too of my plate over the top(pictures here below if you want them). Is 12-13 mm and bolted into place right the width of the spring mounts.

On the right hand side you will need to place the brake line pipes differently. Should not bend ...

Robbo over the weighbridge at 3.4 but assume higher when fully loaded. have heard figures at 3.8 for a comparo with all the fuel and water and no bending of mounts - so far, for that guy. Rig is pictured on Exploroz members in Victorian list, same id.

Sure it ways more this week with son ...

Had mine plated over the top just recently as the mounts had bent up at 13,500 kms not bad for standard springs and Polyairs . Plates are 12-13mm and bolted using the standard bolt holes. Brake lines are in original bracket but welded under the plate.

Nissan dealer bent them back down for me but ...
