Outer Limits 4x4 Board

when you say no headlights. They dont require the ignition switch to be on. Do they? Sounds more like a loose battery terminal to me.

Anyone still got these manuals available? I have 95 paj v6 3.0L and would like some info.

Good bloke to deal with too. Setup my nissan really well, it took a serious flogging in the hill climbs and creeks. About three years worth before I lost the truck. He also sold dobinsons and lovells springs for good prices. Sounds like I ...

))))eg 4WD1 has the RS9000XLs at $220 each and the RS9000 are $400/pair, the RS999145 RS9000XL is $80.15 USD ($87.05 AUD)

so even if postage doubles the cost, they are still cheaper)))

I bough a set off a guy on here for a lot less than that from memory his name was Shane and he called his ...

what a great link been very helpful, thanks

roverrat the TD42 models are affected as the 2002/2003 gu ute coil cab turbo 4.2D I got my gearbox from had been repaired at less than 40 000km. The ute was owned by local council, water service department.

I just replaced a gearbox from a GU into a GQ. The gearbox came out of a 2002/2003 model and it had the fifth gear and main shaft replaced under warranty. Nissan said that by 03 all the faulty gearboxes had been replaced but during 2002 the gearboxes were a mixture of good and bad. Apparently the ...

I use nickel anti-sieze on the studs of my rig and others I have worked on. I travel off-road regularly and even on the cape york trip I have never had the wheel nuts come loose. (Except when someone tried to aquire my wheels one night.)

Why not replace the seal and get a new key, then liquid metal them together. There's some really good metal bonding products on the market. It maybe worth a try. Cheaper than a motor and sht loads easier. Maybe post a close up pic of the damage? Then someone might have another suggestion?

Doesn't just happen to alloys heads either, it can happen to anything if you mix certain brands of coolant, they react and corrode, always pays to flush em right out before introducing a new coolant. The bloke we used to have working on our trucks told me that mixing coolants would corrode the guts ...

I lifted mine 4inch front and 5inch rear using 3.5degree castor correction bushes and running 31 tyres (at the moment). Before getting the wheel alignment the bump steer was scary. Also make sure that you have put on new radius arm to chassis bushes as they hold the front diff back and new panhard ...

I have fitted the GU ute gearbox into the GQ wagon. A few mods and my rig is now driving again. It revs 100rpm higher at 100km/h then before; first gear is higher and therefore better for town driving; gear changes are smoother.

MODS REQUIRED FOR FITTING
1. I had to use the GQ transfer case on the ...

Has anyone put a GU ute gearbox into a GQ Wagon? If so were there any problems?

Two problems have been suggested to me so far:

1. I have been told that the speedo will be out? (I thought that the motor will just rev harder to get to the same speed?)

2. The clutch throw out bearing will ...

I guessed that if I couldn't find the original specs than neither could the cops to book me. And if they do lets see them prove it. they dont need too.

And this is supposed to be a fair country?

I should've learnt that by now. It has almost cost me a licence before....but then again it did ...

could also be the dreaded cracked floor pan under drivers feet.

Only drivers side I have seen it on the passengers floor from jumping into creeks on the Cape York trips. (Lucky they were work vehicles)

Body mount rubbers.. It also gets worse when wet?

One of our GQ LWB has the same problem ...

You could try your local nissan dealer. I tried to get these measurement before raising my GQ and the department of transport directed me to my local dealer who was no help to me. ARB, TJM and Pedders where far more helpful and told me the maximum raising limit. I guessed that if I couldn't find the ...

Does anyone know how to identify the early and late model nissan gearbox? Apparently the early GQ gearboxs had single synchro rings and the later model ones have dual synchro rings. I have spoken to nissan in Townsville and they have suggested pulling apart the gearboxes as they think it may have ...

I have just upgraded my suspension. 3"lift

I used:
Procomp shocks
Trekmaster coils (dobinson or lovell rebadge)
ironman steering dampener
FRNT coils HD
REAR coils Softer

All went in easy and rides pretty good although HD in the rear might have been better? Actual lift by measurement is 4 ...

what model?
pics would be good

fuel lines (aftermarket hose cut to length) and clamps are cheap:
GQ less than $10
MQ/MK less than $20

If you cant bleed it at the pump and have removed the fuel filter hoses or changed the filter then you would have air in the line. I would fix that problem ...

After service and new tank of fuel, slightly tightened up all the fuel line clamps, new pre-cleaner element, same secondary air element (just blown out with compressor).

It has been driven 500km and seems to be fine.

I had checked the fuel line clamps already but must have missed the same one ...

Have you check all your fuel lines.....one may have a small pin hole...or a clamp may not be tight. dose not need much for them to suck air in the fuel system.....

Did service and rechecked the clamps this arvo will see how it goes in the morning.

Blew out the air cleaner and it was clean ...

I rang up the supplier for CAV filters and they are the same micron diameter paper as the Puroilator filters I use and RYCO, Donaldson, etc. are the same. The difference is apparently the CAV filter spins the fuel and this action causes more shit to drop out of suspension. Therefore this is their ...

fuel starvation... its been known to happen on GQs.
some people run extra pumps...

i have this drama, but only noticed it in the past 6-8 monnths when booting it around corners,

will the extra pump only keep a constant supply at the injuector pump, or should there be a surge tank or something ...

Just as a FYI note

90% of bleeding after a new install are dead easy take about 20mins
The other 10% are ShortyIQ sods. After doing a few vehicles I have learnt the following two methods (after all else failed - this worked!)

1.
Bleed out a small amout of fluid from the lines at the slave ...

Your bar work looks very nice. I like your reinforcing on the pipe to brackets that should make them strong as.

Just a question - from the pics it looks like you have bolted the mounts through the chassis with reinforcing plates. I'm in QLD so they are alot stricter on rules and basically it ...

I f you run larger tyres ie. 33" and stick to 100km/h (90km/h on 31" tyres) then you get about 10 -11km/L

Last year in Brisbane I was getting around 9.5 -11.8km/L on 31" tyres driving in the freeway traffic at up to 130km/h. Fuel quality is everything as well!!!!!!

If you buy from a servo who ...

I have a GQ wagon running 31s, non-turbo

town driving 8-10km/L
highway driving at 100km/h 9-10.5kmL
highway driving at 120km/h 7 -9km/L

I suggested genuin out of experience with others that flogged out sometimes in 1 weekend, not using any names but there is a red two piece item out there that lasted 3 days. Hmm cool not!

I have also used some blue bushes before and the same thing happened. So much for super sports heavy duty ...

Interesting. Looks lower than my 4" Dob lift. Mine were Heavy Duty springs so it might sit a bit higher. What size tyres are they?

Here is a pic of mine with 35s (315/75 R16s) and it has a 40mm body lift.

Didn't you say 4" lift WITH 40mm BODY LIFT
4" + 40mm = 140mm above std

If you have a ...
