Outer Limits 4x4 Board

that was my question, but i guess he knows what he is talking about.

Yeah, my alternator is shot. Diodes cooked and coils are a mess.

But the AE has told me he can fit a new 'clutchless' alternator for less then $400.

Does this sound right and what is the difference/issues with having a clutchless alternator.

Just discovered the same problem on my GU3 (3 litre t/d). Metered the battery and 12.6v with the engine off and then it drops to 11.6v when turned on. The alternator has 12v on the input connection, but the output 12v does not change with the revs. All the earths are good. Am I up for a new ...

I see that no-one has responded and as I am in the same situation, looking for answers also...

Hey Chunks Im yet to see any footage but i was really bound up on a log and then it just let go and seemed to flip me almost instantly. Anyone have footage of it? Cheers No video, but some good pics. http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy210/shatta_toperi/DSC07860.jpg http://i792.photobucket.com ...

400 pics, for anyone who wants them.

Ok guys, figured it out. Save using heaps of memory posting my pics here, they are all available via Photobucket. I have opened a new Photobucket account, just with Toperi 2009 pics. As mentioned previously, feel free to take what you want. I have 8MB pics stored if you specifically want them. Just ...

Just back from the first day and WOW, unreal. Heaps of broken bits and flipped fourbies.

I will post a heap of pics via Photobucket for anyone to take copies off. Stuff paying the proffesionals for them.

Access to my Photobucket site. Please don't abuse it...

Weather is looking good for the weekend.

BRING IT ON !!!

Looks like the typical 'Orange Toperi' storm was 1 day early this year. Those who lived through it last year will know what I mean. We had a cracker last night, roofs dislodged and tress uprooted. Hope no-one was on the mountain during this one. At least is should settle the dust for the spectators ...

Can anyone tell what time roughly the 4 stages are being run, is there a night stage or just day time.

Just wondering what time the night drive will start, want to bring the kids out to see the night stage.

I will definitely be going again. Any competitors who want some pics, I will attach a link to my site afterwards and you can take what you want from there. Not a bad place to combine both passions of 4wd comps and photography. BRING IT ON (minus last years storm) :lol: But that is typical Orange ...

I have a GU3, with the standard Nissan winch bar on the front and want to add a set of brush/side rails to it. ARB and TJM have told me that their units don't fit due to the angle of the side support loop of the bullbar. I have seen some vehicles which appear to have the full length brush rails and ...

Thanks guys for the help. Looks like I may just cut it off and use the clamp suggestion. So simple, thanks. As for the need of this additonal support, I am just concerned about the weight of the dump pipe hanging straight off the turbo, with no support. But if this in not on the TD42, then it should ...

I have found one of the bolts securing the Beudesert Exhuast has snapped off at the head and there is a little freeplay. It looks like it is rubbing against the oil return line. (???) I have taken it to 2 mechanics and they both told me that it can't be tapped out due to where it is a muffler place ...

Hey guys. I am desperate to find this rattle, as it is driving me crazy. Being a severe tinitus suffering, those who have this condition will understand my pain. My rattle is a metalic sounding one, that only appears between 1700 and 1900 revs, when accelerating. It only last between his rev range ...

Hey Eric, As the others mentioned, as long as it is used as designed, you can't go wrong. I have modified my wife's xtrail, adding a 50mm suspension lift and larger 225 size bfg tyres. I can take it pretty far, but there is no way that it can keep up with my GU. They are great tow vehicles, but due ...

Hey guys. Just looking for anyone out the Central West NSW (Bathurst/Orange) who can give me a hand fit and calibrate my Dawes and Needle Valve set-up on my GU. Have the parts, have read the 'Patrol 4x4' document, but still not 100% clear... Surely someone out this way has done the mod and needs a ...

Hey mate, There is an x-trail specific forum, run here in Oz, so you should be able to find all the answers to your questions. Link: http://www.australianxtrail.com.au/ My wife has an x-trail, which I have 'tinkered' slightly. My list includes: 40mm Pedders lift, 225,75r16 BFG all terrains, bash ...

Hey guys. Thought you might like some pics from the first stage of Toperi. The course was a lot more challenging then some competitors thought, with several busted diffs, shafts and other panel damage being the norm. Congrats the Canobolas 4wd guys (and girls) for an excellent run event. Let's hope ...

Come on mate. Your spoiling the surprise.....

The good old trusty 'baby food tins'. But, would you have been able to tell, if I hadn't off told you Jet ???

Does the job well, until I can find some $$$ for proper holders.

I have gone against the grain and mounted mine on top of the steering wheel column.

I can still see all the instrument panel, so no issues. This picture is NOT of my view through the steering wheel.

Nice and handy

After being seriously embarrassed by the piss poor standard horn in the GU Patrol, I decided to fit the Stebel Nautilus horn. This horn is 139db of pure ear piercing sound and a real wake-up call to other road users who get in the way. I have posted a video (audio) on YouTube, so you can see the ...

I have just received my Autometer EGT and boost gauges today and just need to work out where to install the probes. Can anyone detail where they tapped into, for the boost and also where the best location to tap the standard exhaust, for the EGT probe. A local bloke will weld them for free, but has ...
