Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cheers mate thats really helpful, i've been looking at going petronix ignition for awhile so i may just get around to buying one. I have that 1200rpm miss lol car was soo much better when i put new spark plugs in NGK BP6ES and new dizzy though.

Nah i didn't mate, what part is the condenser?
Are bosh leads the ones too go with? I have heard these are the go for TB42's BOSCH Super Sport Inductive Core Ignition Leads (B6104i).

Spark plugs have been done about 1000km's ago and distributor has been done around 500km's ago, the ignition leads do look fairly old so that could be problem. It's just weird how its doing it on both petrol and LPG.

G'day, i have recently just got this bad miss from my TB42.. It's a loud pop with a miss around carby/driver floor area, seems like the car is starving for fuel then gets a heap of it..? It's so bad it jolts car, and loses power for a split second. It's random when it does this pop noise.. usually ...

I have tb42 on lpg and just got traction fab sealed airbox for the lpg setup, since the air/fuel mixtures have been changed i need to get ratio's set back up to suit.

Anyone know a good lpg tuner in brissy/sunny coast area?

Cheers brent

PM shane at suspension stuff he'll know if it can be done. I think u'll need flexy coils... with 3" flexy coils you can run 4-5" longer shocks, also i would say coil retainers too. Don't need heaps of lift on shorty tho, very capable with 3" lift

Well it will be my daily drive and weekend toy pretty much... Although i would like to go south with it maybe to snow one day.

I guess i'll go 33's, thanks for replys

G'day, i just recently bought 1991 swb patrol. It has 2 inch lift (previous owner said it's 2 1/2..) with 33 inch worn (crap) cooper st's :? ... Im after a new set of tyres soon and just wondering if i should go 35's or stay 33's.. I realise i would need 2 inch body lift and some front gaurd trim ...

Thanks for info :) im leaning towards the BFG's and bighorns, heard nothing but good things about bighorns other then when they wear down they get noisey on road. Havn't heard much about BFG KM2's but a friend said he would get them over bighorns if he didnt have budget. I have searched many threads ...

G'day, im getting some new tyres soon for my gq shorty and just stuck on what to get.. Tyres i have in mind are all 33x12.5R15.. BFG Km2, Maxxis Bighorn, Toyo Open Country MT (expensive?) and Procomp MT's. Anyone had these tyres? Are BFG Km2's still coming in as soft compound from other countrys ...

I just got lukey "turbo" muffler put onto my gq shorty's existing exhaust system.. [extractors-2.5inch pipe-Lukey offset centre turbo muffler-resonator (just before tip) and was thinking it would be louder then what it is. Although the note is awsome if your not at back of car then engine seems ...

thanks for replys, i've decided on getting sports muffler as i don't want it hell loud haha

cheers thanks

Hey, my mate has a lukey sports turbo muffler that i can get for cheap for my shorty patrol 4.2 petrol.
Just wondering if i put a specially designed turbo muffler onto non turbo'd car will it have any affect??

thanks

I currently have 2.5inch exhaust with muffler (huge) and hotdog at end and want too get a better note/louder note.

Would 4.2 Petrol with LPG (TB42) 2.5inch straight through exhaust into hotdog/resonator be too loud? Or under power 4wd?

Any replys would be awsome thanks

My mate has 2.8 Turbo diesel, if you want some decent power go 4.2 petrol or diesel-Turbo'd. His fuel ecconomy was terrible for 2.8 something like 400km's to 80Ltr fuel , only reason was his foot was flat to floor every gear pretty much.

Just wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket filter (non paper) that will fit in this system.

thanks

I used a VN 5.0l airbox to ensure good filter seal, made stainless mixer cover, bit of silicon hose and 3inch stainless snorkal. works awesome and still allows easy acess to rear plugs and leads. http://www.flickr.com/photos/40257133@N08/4139086345/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/40257133@N08 ...

Haha saucepan nice i found two shops that do the custom airbox fairly pricey

and

no idea if they can do freight although.

hmmm yer i wonder if it actually improves performance with Ram-head... if so wouldnt barely be noticeablei bet.

Thanks for replys, i think i may go 4" that place in gympie sounds good for bends ill call in there soon. Which style would be most suitable? With ram.. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb26/ItachiUchiha07/P9110026.jpg or.. without http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb26/ItachiUchiha07/100_2564 ...

I have just been checking out my air box and it isn't even air tight? Are they supposed to be like this or is mine dodgy? The bottom piece of plastic isn't big enough. I have some pictures.. Are there any aftermarket air-boxes that are available? http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb26 ...

Just wondering what size pipe people are running for stainless snorkel, will 4" be overkill on shorty? Also where is best place to get rubber bends, tubing to carby and grommets?

cheers

Thanks for replys,
i think i may have found the noise my friend said it's the floor pan a patrol thing. The metal on pan has expand and pops in and out. There may be another noise but least i've found 1. We tryed pulling on everything suspension related and couldnt find anything

Hi, i have just bought a GQ shorty with 2inch lift (guy said lift was 2.5inch...) and when braking, turning or hitting bump you can here a 2 clunks under foot pan in cab. It sounds like panhards but im not sure. Any ideas would be great thanks :) (i've tryed bouncing cab to get the noise but carnt ...
