Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah pretty good value!

I'm keen on a 2 door glx, but there only seems to be 3.2's for around my budget 25k, but it seems a waste when a new 2.5 is 32k.
The only used 2.5s seem to be demonstrators too, so I might keep an eye out for some comming on the market soon.

Thanks mate, yeah I'd also been reading about some carbon build up issues in the 3.2. Stability control sounds good as it's mostly for highway kays, but will have to see if the budget can stretch to a spanking new one.

Hi all,

Having trouble finding a straight answer on this when trying to compare MN vs ML Tritons.
I drove the 3.2 in a Paj ago and was impressed, and recently the 2.5 in a Triton and also liked it, but won't have a chance to drive each back to back when looking at buying next financial year.
What ...

In Richmond.

Cheers!

My new Mav came with a good UHF, but the mic was cross-threaded on to the radio.

Got the grips out to undo it, and i've sheared off the 4 pins from the mic plug to the circut board :bad-words:

The mic is still cross threaded on....

Anyone know anywhere in Melb to get it repaired? Hopefully it's ...

Yep spot on, there was a factory preset that it's gone back to, have to re-caliberate it back to 0 degrees in iced water it says in the manual that was on their website.

Thanks

Yeah it does lose power I guess when the car is off. It has a few buttons on it, but I think they're just for the alarm though, as I have no manual for the gauge.

Sissy thought is a possible explanation...

I've got a cheap digital Pyro in my GQ, post turbo, has worked fine until I just had the body lift removed and as it was off the road a few days the battery also went dead.

Now car is running fine, but Pyro reads about 120deg less than what it used to on the same roads! Body lift was only 2 inches ...

Anyone know anywhere good in Melb to get rust cut? Pannel beaters not really getting back to me with quotes, seems they're only good for replacing plastic bumpers near my work...

Cheers

Turbo 6ltr GU donk?

Hmm, Eleventy billion horsepower would be handy, but I think it's tad out of my budget...

Has anyone had any experience with the AXT turbo kits for TB42's?

The TB4.2 will turn your wheels without a Turbo and if need be change the diff ratios to 4.3 or 4.6 for more power.

Yeah you're right, the TB42 isn't that bad, and it can turn 33's fine, but i've been driving one for a while now and was looking to have a something with a little bit more ...

Thoughts?

Seems like a similar budget for each option, and am not searching for 1000bhp, just about 150 rwkw.

Going in a GQ manual.

Couldn't be fagged with a v8 conversion, love to sound but too much work/fiddling around. I would never turbo the tb48, just needs to turn 33's and get up the hills ...

Bit of a grave dig, but does anybody know what usually goes first in high km's 1kz-te's?

Looking at buying one with 300k+, it's had all the usual 5000km services, but am not sure if the gearbox or turbo would be the first worry.

Depends on the way the Hilux's been treated I know, but does anyone ...

Yeah had a mate getting tough dog stuff engineered in Vic, when the engineer contacted them to get technical specs for engineering calcs the bloke said they don't do any of that stuff, and that they'd 'been in the business long enough to know what works'.

Engineer said "that's not going to stand up ...

Cheers guys, thanks.

Had some one tell me today they think the XLT is the WSB version of the XL (top spec) LWB wagon. Will keep looking.

Yeah I know, had that car in the family for 16 years, with no intention of selling it soon. I hope they choke.

Hi,

Our family mav got pinched the other week, sad moment, had it since new.

It was a 93 LWB Wagon, XLT, good cond, TB42, 33 MTR's and a 2 inch EFS kit.

Insurance are offering 6.5k replacement, but I think that might be a bit shy, as I want a series II GQ or late model Mav again.

They are ...

geez $1300 sounds good. Does anyone in Melb/VIC offer anything near that. Closest quotes i've heard from workshops down here are 10k.

I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but i've started my dual fuel on LPG after leaving it in the snow at Buller for a few days (petrol wasn't running well). Nearly killed my new heavy duty battery in my GQ.

I often find when it's very cold that it always fires on LPG, just takes a ...

I've been with a mate when he bent his right into the panel. just ran the winch out to the side off a block, and pulled it back out. Was good as new.

Hey mate, had same problem with mine. The motor works fine, switch was fine, it was that black box relay thing. I think it has something to do with getting the motor to cut out on the automatic up and down once the motor gets some ressitance.

Nissan charge shtloads for new ones, a few hundred ...

Yeah, sounds like the suspension was done at JBitz or something.

As BJ said, the 12.5's are perfect because they hold the side of the car off against walls and deeps ruts. Thats one of the best things about my MTRs.

Hi all,

I'm getting a 10k pound warn off a mate soon, and saw a GQ drive through Yaraglen the other day with just a fairlead mounted on the front of the standard bumper. Got me thinking this is something i'd like to tryand get away with.

I was hoping if I got plasma, I could have the roller-less ...

Typhoon, hell yeah! Its the FPV version of an XR6 Turbo...

Where do people get custom manifolds from when making your own kit? Is there a japanese or arab kit with decent manifolds available?

Thanks for the replies.

Nothing seemed to work. Took the pump off, and the noise was still there!!!!

It seems, by coincidence, the aircon compressor bearings didnt like being submerged then sitting there for a week without being run again.

It seems to be the when the compressor is not engaged and ...

Nope, no luck.

The box was leaking on the way home, and I didnt notice for a while, could it have run the resevoir dry enough to make the pump shit itself? I wasnt making any noises before I changed the box over though.

Perhaps I just bled it incorrectly...

Hi all, i'm looking for some help.

I replaced the steering box on my GQ this morning, all went well, but now the pump is making an whirring noise, sounds awful, last thing I wanted to hear after working all morning on it.

My old man suggested bleeding the steering box (I thought it kind of self ...

They are worth their weight in gold.

I strongly suggest 2 snatch blocks.....should get you out of just about any trouble, and they dont' cost much. Also make sure you have shackles that are big enough to take both ends of a tree trunk protector as well as hook up to the hauler.

Top up your brake fluid? Worked for me, I had the same problem.
