Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just near hornsby, but I will travel a bit if it means getting it done by the right crowd

Thanks for the replies. Ok, so basically it's a top down view, and the chassis and diff mounts aren't aligned straight, so the chassis mount is further forward than the diff. To move the chassis mount back is impossible as the steering arms get in the way. To move the diff mount forward is possible ...

Got a hilux with custom SAS conversion. The front panhard bushes were worn, so I pulled the panhard out, thinking that it would be a matter of simply putting in new bushes - boy was I wrong! The reason the bushes have worn is because the panhard has been put in at an angle. I've got some simple ...

Thanks for that. I've seen Athol posting on here before - is he in Sydney?

It's a 2000 hilux.

I've just purchased a new 4wd that's had and SAS done and i've got a couple of issues. Basically I want to find a mechanic that has experience with such conversions but that is reasonable - can anyone suggest one? It also needs to be engineered. Apparently it was built to an engineer's specs ...

My 2000 hilux's brakes suck big time! I'm running 35s, so I expect them not to be great, but they are seriously awful! Any thoughts on what could make them better? Pads have plenty of life left, but would a different compound work? Or can you adjust something on the brake booster (is that the right ...

I've been looking at a hilux for sale which has had an SAS conversion done, using a 60 series front diff. Just wondering what the differences in wheel track might be between the two diffs if anyone knows? Will I need wheel spacers on the rear wheels potentially?

I'm just curious - i've never seen patrol diffs considered for SAS use under a pajero? Is there any reason for this? Would patrol diffs work?

Hi, i know this has kinda been covered before, but I just want some more specific help. I'm trying to source a new rim for my spare tyre. At the moment i've got sunnies which say 8JJx15 and then i can just make out 52 next to this. Do i assume this is the offset?? Does 52 seem strange?? And please ...

hudson, one of the cleanest looking NJs i've seen. I love it!

none! I'm in the same position and apparently the only option is to swap the 7.25" diff in ours for the 8" diff found in every other model, then look at lockers.

I'm just curious to know how hard this would be and whether anyone knows of it being done before. I want to put the 3.2 diesel and gearbox from an NM pajero into my NH petrol pajero. Can this be done? Has it been done?

I've gotta get a couple of things done on my car and I'm looking for somewhere than can do it all in one go. I need to get a pink slip (and a partial blue slip for an engine number change), my transfer lever bent and my bullbar welded to raise the height to match my body lift. Anyone know and ...

If it's hot, will it bend fairly easily?

Haha, sorry, yes I did finally get it off!!! Thanks to everyone for replying with ideas!. In the end, there was no pin or anything which was weird. Bilstein shocks too - maybe this is a common thing for bilsteins? Anyway, what I ended up doing was using multigrips to grip the thread from the top ...

I've just done a body lift on my car (92 pajero) and I need to bend the transfer lever to make it fit - what are some ways I can do this?

I'm trying to remove my air compressor from my car and the air lines go through the floor of the vehicle. What i'm strugging to do is remove the air hose from the fitting on the compressor to be able to pass it through the floor. How do you do this? I've unscrewed the air hoses, but I just need to ...

Where is the sender switch for the oil pressure? I've just done an engine swap, so i'm guessing it's something i've forgotton to reconnect?

With the speedo, the odometer still works normally, so is it definately the speedo cable?

Couple of questions. My oil pressure gauge is not working at all. What could be causing this? When driving, the speedo bounces up and down. Only just started doing this. Tonight, a light came on the dash, kinda like (!) - what does this mean? If anyone can help with these problems, then that'd be ...

I was just trying to remove one of my shocks today but when i was undoing the top nut, the bolt was spinning with it. How do I stop this - i couldn't see anything else spinning on the shock so i'm confused.

I've basically got two questions about reregistering my car in NSW. First, if i put a replacement engine in my car, do I need to get a blue slip or can I just get a pink slip? Second, if I do need to get a blue slip, will i be able to get one if my truck has modifications (lift, bigger tyres, etc ...

Just thinking about swapping the bigger 8" diff for my 7.25" - are the CVs different sizes?

Well i tried using pliers to grip it out, but that didn't work - ended up shearing more off. So went and got the easyout - again didn't work. In the end I just drilled straight through and made the hole bigger - eventually the bolt came out in pieces. Now i've gotta retap the hole. Thanks for ...

The seat is removed - it's the hole in the bottom of the seat. What do you mean drill and easy out? I've tried drilling through the centre of the bolt with no luck - it just wont drill down.

I was trying to install some new seats today, but as i tightened one of the bolts under the seat, it unexpectedly sheared clean off, so now i have the bold stuck in the hole - how can i get it out???

I just wanted to get other people's experience - i've been running 33" mtrs on my pajero and i've gotta say i'm not heaps impressed. In the past two months, i've had two punctures - one a screw from my own driveway, and the other a small crack in the tread after 4wding over the weekend. Add to that ...

I just got in my NJ pajero and as i drove, i noticed a knocking or rubbing type sound coming from what i assume was the front passenger side wheel area. The knocking increases with speed, however it disappears when I'm braking! The only thing that is different is that I have been running with the ...

I'm looking at buying a car which has had the engine replaced. Do you need to have the engine numbers etc changed on the rego papers when you do this? I ask because the rego has just run out, so when I go to get rego, I'm guessing they are going to check all the numbers, and I don't think the guy ...

Thanks guys - problem solved!

Just noticed my power mirrors aren't working both left and right. What could this be? I'm thinking the switch/control unit in the dash, but could it be something else? I can't see a fuse for the power mirrors, does anyone know which one it would be grouped with? Any help would be much appreciated.
