Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi,

Just wondering what I would expect to pay for a D90 Lpg tank?
I am looking to upgrade my out dated old tank that definitely won't pass an inspection.
I'll ring around on Monday but hoping someone on here might be able to chuck me a ball park figure.

Cheers.

G'day, I am wondering how to remove the O2 sensor from my Feroza? I noticed there is a head I can fit a 22mm ring spanner over which I’m tempted to attack with force, however I thought I'd pop the question on here as I know exhaust manifolds can be brittle. Just got back from a trip to Lake Eyre. ...

Cheers for the replies.

Wow what a different a new set of leads made!

G'day,

Just wondering if Applause igition leads are the same as a Feroza? I need to buy some and noticed Applause seem to be cheaper by a few bucks.

What have you guys paid in the past for a set of leads? So far Ive had prices ranging between $70-$120 for a set of Top Guns.

Cheers.

I have had a thermostat fail before. After testing (took ages to open at the set temp) I cut out the thermostats innards. The result was no over heating problem. On another note I have had a water pump fail resulting in the engine becomming quite hot. I replaced the water pump expecting the head ...

How much is your mate looking at paying?

BundyRumandCoke i will be spending quite a bit of time in QLD within the next few months. Can you PM me how much you would want for the Rocky.

Cheers.

Thanks for all the replys. Yeh I think this would be a huge amount of work and probably not worth it. I just aquired a cheap feroza to wreck and use on my other car, but it is just too good! The body is imaculate however the engine has done a big end. Just looking for ideas on what to do with it and ...

G'day,

Just wondering if anyone has put a diesel engine into a feroza?
If so what engine was used and how hard was it to engineer?

It is just something that I have been wondering about for some time. I can image weight being quite a big issue and of course drivetrain items to match and fit.

Cheers.

G'day mate, can you PM me how much you want for all Air-con associated parts (minus the missing bracket)

Cheers.

One thing i would do is change the bearings in the starter motor. The standard bearings are fully open. We got out 105 stuck in some muddy water for quite a while. after a week the starter motor started to give a bad bearing sound and sure enough they had some grit in them. Very easy to chuck in ...

Yes I am 21 and yes I do own several cars. A feroza (currently rebuilding the engine), fj60, mkIII sprite (currently restoring) and kingswood. I have worked on cars, motorbikes and go-karts all my life and I can assure you im no dumb arse. I have rebuilt several engines and gearboxes over the years ...

Cheers for your comments. Basicly this project is something between myself, a mate (aerospace engineer) and another mate (mechanic / gas installer). What we are intending to do is actualy just the beginning of a much larger project. Essentialy we are looking to create turbo kits for certain models ...

Cheers for your comments, big thanks to coxy321 for the job costing list. Ill definately research this more and make some cad drawings, should be a good project.

Cheers

G’day I’m looking at doing some experimenting soon doing a turbo conversion to a straight gas vehicle. Most people have said a turbo conversion will normally cost 2-3k if done yourself. I fail to see the high costs when doing it yourself. Other than the turbo itself I cant see much else required for ...

Does this mean that the vehicles i have been looking at are actualy the 105 series and fowles has used the wrong number? http://www.manheimfowles.com.au/find_buy/power_search/?unit_key=91274_AU412592550-91274;detail_tab=vinfo;sort_by=mileage;fulltext=landcruiser;state_all=1;model_all=1;sort_dir=asc ...

Some 100 series had a solid front end. The povo packs that government departments and the defence force used were solids with manual locking hubs. I just went and saw a heap today at auction and will be buying one in a week or two.

Cheers. This weekend ill chuck it back on the hoist and take the cover off the bellhousing, I want to check everything before taking the head off again. This has amazed anyone who has seen the car in person, im more confident it isnt burning oil than dropping it. Hmm

MY feroza has only done 125 000kms and i have just had the head rebult, i took it off and put it on but had a professional do the actual head work. IM going through about 1L or more of oil per 100-200kms. The plugs look great and blows absolutely no smoke so im assuming it isnt being burnt. WE have ...

No worries cheers blokes

G'day

A mate hat to take his mq patrol to vicroads tomorrow. Just wondering where the chassis number is located.

Cheers

G'day

How many kms had this thing done. Does it still have the towbar/ball, rear muffler and tilt guage on it?

Cheers

G'day,

Has the gearbox gone?

Cheers

Cheers thanks for your replies, cant wait to get this beast off the road.

G'day Just bought an 1984 fj60 cruiser with dual fuel, i havnt had a great look yet but from what i can tell the lpg system looks very old and i can not find a compliance plate for the lpg installation in the engine bay. Does anyone know when the requirement for an lpg comliance plate came into play ...

Cheers for the comments. Yeh if i did see a cheap locker i would buy it, im just used to making things myself. Brighty any photos would be greatly appreciated, im mainly looking for pics of main diff mechanism. Yeh im really in a pickle over what to choose, i see benefits in both vehicles although ...

You could always just bog it up, i had a mate who no joke must have used 10kgs of bog in his torana.

Well if you decide to part with the 60 give me a pm, im looking for a cheap 4wd for fun in the bush.

cheers jason

G'day, First post, Im currently looking for photos of the insides of a mq patrols front diff and 60 series front diff. I am trying to weigh up which vehicle is better, so i want to see which 4wd will be the easiest to make my own front locker for. Also if anyone has an opinion on a good 4wd between ...
