Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi Guys looking at buying a new aliminium radiator but would like to know if someone has adapted a different radiator that has come out of a different model car...

Cheers Chris

I used to run a Holden HQ - HZ 3 core V8 Air conditioning radiator in my GQ after I did the engine conversion. There ...

thanks i have looked at that already they seem to only do stuff for v8's plus i already have these engines here at home to use Mate had a V6 in a GQ, he loved it.. see if I can findout what kit he used.. only put it in cause he spun a bearing in the 308...

I had the VP V6 in the GQ at one stage ...

Chev bolt pattern is further spaced than the Holden one. It is hard to tell just by looking at it.

253 or 308.

All 253's are Holden, most 308 manuals are Holden pattern while a good majority of Autos are Chev pattern except for later versions in bommadores where the turbo was not an option.

Do a ...

I just spotted this on Ebay which says it is a 98 Model ?? which Hilux 98 used the front diff on passenger side ?
The model that went from 98-05. 1998 was the changeover year from one model to the next, so the earlier ones still had the diff on the RHS, but the later ones had it LHS.

The 90 ...

98 onwards is when the diff was put on the passenger side.

Hi All,
Being a Nissan person and having nothing to do with Toyotas at all I have a question.

I am looking for a Toyota 5 speed and transfer to bolt into 4x4 with the front diff on the LH side. Given that the toyota 5 speed boxes can be bolted up to just about any engine with changable bellhousings ...

Thanks Shane.

Why would you go the gen 3 bartso? Not getting enough poke out of the 5.0L ?

How thirsty's the 5.0l? Obviously depends on how you drive them I know but I'm looking for a 'best you'll get' figure.

Thanks again guys :)

I no longer have the 5.0 litre GQ , I traded it on a 2001 VX SS ...

Yes I know I know, it's been discussed before....but if we done a search evrytime we wanted to know something, there wouldn't be much left to talk about.

Turbo diesel is my number one choice but I like to keep my options open.
I'm contemplating the thought of putting a EFI 5 litre in a GQ. Thought ...

Just want to know how these engines go. I am just dreaming about the future mods i could do. If it was reconditioned and new stuff like intake and new demon carby and extractors and sh!t like that would they be pretty good hooked up to an auto inside a shorty MQ patrol?

Don't waste you time or ...

I actually modified the radiator support panel to fit the Holden radiator, notice the top brackets for the GQ radiator are gone

The Holden radiator is now a bolt in fit. Heaps cheaper to replace as well.

Had this conversion in since 1998 , Kevin Wiliams did the engineers in early 99

Shane

Thanks, That looks like a really tidy conversion.

Looks like i better start looking for some VR headers.

Your engine mounts look like thay sit a fair bit lower than mine have you bent not the top peice of the engine mount over the chassis rail?

What type of fan set-up have you used?

I used ...

Here you go , the best I could get with my shitty camera

Thanks for your replys guys.

GQPatrol V8 if you could post pics please.

I read somewhere that an left side exhaust manifold from an earlyer holden V8 would fit within the chassis rails it, might have a look around and try and find some VR/VN manifolds and see if they will work.

Will post pics ...

Im in the process of fitting a VT Commodore V8 into my GQ and found that the passenger side exhaust manifold clashes with the chassis.

I have tried to get some block huggers but they dont make them for the VT.

What exhaust manifolds have been used before or will work? Or will it need to be a ...

Use the 300A which is the top section and buy an adapter that connects it to the Nissan GQ Carby.

The bottom pic is a ring type mixer used with the Euro type systems. No good to you if you are gonna run impco setup.

thanks

Tube sales in Temple drive Thomastown, They should have stainless mandel bends as well.

Very freindly service. Mate deals with them a lot.

Shane

bucketofbolts wrote:does the 300A fit straight on

No the 300A bolts to an alloy adapter that sits on top of the carby and screws to the centre stud of the carby. The 300A then uses 3 screws to attach to the adapter

Any gas place should be able to get you the adapter for the 300A

Yep, Did this yesterday. took quite a bit of pressure before they shifted with a loud bang in the press.

What type of system ? American or Euro ?

I used to run an Impco 300A on my 4.2 TB42 before I changed to a V8.

when i got home today and did a U turn to park out front, the trans didn't feel right.... like it had slipped. I stopped in front of my house and put it in forward and reverse... driving backwards and forwards a couple of feet.... went forward, trans went bang, now no drive at all.... making a loud ...

already up to $360 with 6 days to go, by the time the auction is at the end it'll
probably be more than full price from ARB... silly people haven't learnt to wait till the last 5 seconds to bid. we were bored... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Bogged and I decided to bid it up a little. I still got the ...

thanks for that so i need to track down a V8 turbo 700 and it will bolt up to the 5.7 chev and i all ready have the marks adptor to gq transfer on the other auto so i will only need to change that to the new box and all should be sweet yes?

Yes, grab a V8 Turbo 700 and it will bolt straight up to ...

any advise on a couple good hydraulic winches?

The two winches we come across in austraila most common are SuperWinch and Thomas/ Ramsey hydraulic winches.

These are not a standard WARN bolt pattern and you would need to make a custom bar to mount theses winches. They are also VERY LARGE ...

The nitrogen is used for cutting not cooling. Like a plasma cutter uses compressed air.

Shane

They are always connected with a short drive shaft and the Hydraulic pump is bolts to a very hefty bracket attached to the chassis rail.

That is exactly what I was thinking of doing. I think there is room in front of the box without probs to the headers. How big of a pump does it take for a 12k ...

I just got my SWB GQ Back on the road Today and I have to say that anyone that calls a TB42 a Boat Anchor, has No Idea what a little bit of Artifical Aspiration can make.


I have to say the TB42 susprised the hell out of me. ;)


Nope, Turbo or not a TB42 is still a boat anchor. Useless peice of ...

Hmmm , Doesn't sound like my 253, the peice of shit!!!!

Ian,

Looking in my Y160 manual, it looks like the Fact Y60 (GQ) PTO winch is very similar to the MQ type that your looking for. There seems to be a lot of Safari's with PTO winches in New Zealand--might be worth having a look there.

I think people get scared off by the cost of Hydraulics--eg ...
