Outer Limits 4x4 Board

When i do the conversion i am going to buy a complete Terrano and swap the motor, box, driveline , electrics etc
So effectively I will end up with a Terrano with a D21 Nav body.

Hey Guys Yeah ive looked into both the ZD30 and the KA24E , The ZD30 is just too expensive to buy and the KA24E is a good motor but im looking to set up the nav for torque and the TD27T fits the bill. I even looked into putting a 3.2 diesel from a D22 and turbo but keeping things as close to factory ...

Hi I'm looking at doing a conversion to TD27 replacing my old and stuffed Z24 in my D21 Has anybody done this ??? My main concern is the wiring , Fuel and if i can convert a Auto motor to manual and use my current FS5W71C gear box. I am going to pick up a complete donor Terrano so that i can swap ...

hey guys i have a 88 d21 space cab well body , it already has a 2" body lift and i want to put a 3" lift kit into it . What i need to know is that are the d22 lift kits like the calmini ones going to fit , i am mainly interested in the front upper control arms as i have looked on the US calmini site ...

i agree with V.W. Dave just use your toe on acc pedal and heal on the brake , or i have found that you and use the clutch with you heal and toe on brake with right foot on acc but this is hard to do when in rough ground

Gutless . I agree with the 1uzfe idea but i already have a v6 and have access to heaps of spares .
I did look at using the 1uzfe but as i have got all the diffs gearboxs ( im using hilux manual ) and the V6 for the cost of buying a 1uzfe im gonna give the v6 a shot

I will post pics as i go

hey guys best place to pick up a adaptor kit to fit t700 to a ln106 gear driven transfer case ?
I need one asap
thx

Thanx for all the advice guys , conversion has started so i will let you know how it goes

I was discussing a future engine swap with an engineer today and he said the largest size that can be passed in a sierra is 3.4 litres and then only if it is naturally aspirated but that is still alot of motor for a little zook. I spoke to my mate in perth who does the engineering for vehicles ...

well im thinking ill use the old lux springs i have out bak just to get mounted up and then play with leaf numbers and shock set up when its going

I only post on here beause i thought it was the pinacle of 4x4 tech , clearly i was wrong , there is some good advice however seems more bitches than anything. I think clearly you are missing the fact that you are not the first person that has invented this wheel. We (most of us) are just leting ...

As for the alloytech well first marks adaptor dont have any adaptor in stock to mate it to Lux Xfer the Vz wich came with the alloyteh run a body control module wich makes life a whole lot harder as i would then need to run 2 aftermarket computers one for the motor to eliminate the BCM and one to ...

yeah steve that is the sort of thing i was thinking if i was to strech it but with less Comp truck look your going lux diffs and commo v6 but dont want a comp truck sorry comp truck look lol i honestly do not see the point. and then to ask for advice and everyone gives u there advice which there ...

yeah steve that is the sort of thing i was thinking if i was to strech it but with less Comp truck look

so if im goin to 100" than what is a swb standard i cant remember off top my head and not at home to check. by going to 33" im starting to head towards comp truck wich is not what i want i think i will pull the body off mount the engine (dumby fit) and hek my angles with diffs dumby fitted. If i ...

wheel base is a consideration if need i can extened , i realise that there is a lot of work to be done and i am looking to build an allrounder , as for v6 well power and touque along with efficiency . I am noot looking to go huge with lift but right now it sits about 2" higher than standard so 5 ...

Troopy 94 im guessing yours is the green one that was parked up at supercheap the other day , i was looking it over , i work away for long periods but when im back i might come have a better look.
Thanx

There is heaps of good tech in this thread , lots of info of pitfalls you need to be aware of to make it work. If you don't want any sort if constructive criticism that may include reasons of why your decision may not be the best idea then why are you on the Internet? If you have the skills and ...

Firstly i NEVER stated i was not doing a SPOA READ THE BLOODY POST!!! secondly everyone keeps talking about the cost , well i earn far more than most and dont give a rats of cost. As for mods this is not by far my first attempt at modded vehiles , and ive done the whole lux diff swap before. I am ...

Mitchie wrote:hey mate what transfer case are you thinking of running?

I intened to use the auto out of the commodore bak up to a hilux tranfer case using a marks adaptor
As for drive line im just goin to run with the lux LSD to start with before i consider lockers

"I'm aware of a Hilux V6 conversions where running high steer caused massive clearance problems. " why state this as its about a lux , as i said in my first post i didnt need people telling me that a v6 is a bad idea. As for why well i have a V6 , lux diffs are cheap (for me) and i have way too much ...

thanx guys
I think i might jut have to do it and then see how it all goes , i will keep this post going and put up a proper topic about this subject

Hey Guys I have read the whole sierra bible and it didnt realy answer all my questions. I currently have a 95 sierra with 2" lift and 30" maxxis bighorns I have just bought a complete vs comodore with wich i intend to put the ecotec into the zuk and then put lux diffs under it. what i want to know ...

thanx guys i think we are gona have another look at it today
i did lay under the car when he engaged it and there was no noise at all also looked at the vaccum line ( didnt swap them round) but they all seemed connected and not perrished at all.

hey was looking at a surf forsale with a mate the other day we went and test drove it and put it ib neutral (auto) and then pushed the 4x4 button there was a click from behind the dash and off we went the only problem was it didnt go into 4x4 as we got stuck i tryed lowrange and it worked but only ...

where's it located , im in wa and freight on a canopy is not cheap i've already looked into it.

hillbilliywheelchair wrote:have you thought about buying a hard top and chopping the roof off?
you could then sell off the rest of the good bits and hopefully come out even

Yeah mate the idea had crossed my mind but im in W.A. and finding a hard top cheap enough that i can cut it to pieces is gona be a bit hard.

I think it will be harder than you imagine and owe you more than $1600 once you are finished. I think the flexiglass canopy is horrible. You really need to copy the factory Sierra optional hardtop, but you'll need some pretty advanced skills- an english wheel to get the curves right (there are more ...

yeah the idea of aluminium came from 2 things 1 my mates gets sheets of it realy cheap and 2 flexiglass want $1600 for a canopy , i could do a lot to the zook for that sort of coin.
If anybody has done this i would love to see some pics otherwise when i start building one ill make a thread about it.

yeah mate was planning on lining the inside to stop some of the road noise.
And i was thinking of making a two piece top to cover the front and the rear seperatly.
