Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I fitted up some VR senator seats, once again just spaced up one side and used some 4mm plate to make the rails slightly wider.....

I run 4.3's because when i go wheeling on the serious stuff i run 35's and they are perfect for it. However i run 33's as my dailys and the gears are too short, engine revs too much and its a pain in the ass. For touring and 33's you want 4.1's.

I think you might find that the 4.0L engine is a lot more efficient than a TB42 when it comes to flow in the intake and port side of things so maybe thats why they spool up quicker?? Also be persistent and do as much research yourself as you can, if you start being a knob because ppl aren't replying...

I had a GU TB45 come into work the other day and that had 3.5's in it (had HG35 on the compliance plate) so i would suggest looking for GU centres instead. I dont think GQ's ever came out with a 3.5 ratio to be honest....

There is usually a fuse between the gas changeover switch and its positive feed or in between the Gas lock off's and the changeover switch.

Wont fit, The "bell end" on either end of the diff housing is larger on a GU than on a GQ to accomodate the larger diameter GU CV Joints. If it was as easy as swapping GU cv's and axles into GQ housing ppl wouldnt bother fitting GU diffs to there GQ's like myself haha

What you are experiencing is usually caused by low gas pressure. Usually Either it has a faulty gauge and you are almost out of gas or your gas filter is blocked. The gas filter is loacated underneath the gas lock off in your engine bay, its a seperate lock off solenoid usually not far from the conv...

Not sure if you have this but i couldnt find it when i looked....How about "THERMO FAN" and "GAS" switches.

MORE PICS PLEASE!

Yer i might throw her on a hoist and change the oil, see how she goes.

mate i have the exact same thing when im coasting, anywhere above around 40km/h it will do it, especially at high speed like the freeway. you have the drive train so there is no load on the diff and perfectly coasting and it kinda sounds like when you run over those white lines on country roads that...

I just fitted GU diffs front and rear in my gq which originally had the single piston fronts and drum rear and it does seem like it needs a larger bore master cylinder, pedal effort outweighs braking abillty. Was the master and booster you used off a GU with abs??

cheers john.

Normally if tightening the pinion nut up for the first time with new bearings and a new crush washer used you would tighten the nut up bit by bit while continually checking the amount of force needed to turn the pinion (without crownwheel and carrier in). Once it reaches a certain amount of torque n...

check the clutch on the alternator pulley they wear out and squeak . Take the belt off and spin the pulley . Don't you mean the aircon compressor? Never seen an alternator with a pulley clutch A lot of the later model eauropean cars have clutches on the alternators too. I have replaced several of t...

Also make sure you mark the nut to the pinion thread and the flange plate so you can do it all up to the same spot you undid it from. When you undo it count how many turns you undo it so it can be done up the same amount of turns and tightened to the same point it was before, if not a fanny hair tig...

That cruiser bar looks unique with the upper headlight protection bars not being linked to the lower bumper bar, i like it.

x2 Id also like to see a swb do a wheelstand under its own steam on a level surface that isnt on a 45 degree angle hill, also it needs to be running suspension and not sitting on the bumpstops.

GQ manual locking hubs do bolt up to the gu diffs, however you need to swap over a washer and the drive gear off the gq diff into the gu one before you swap hubs over. The genuine nissan GQ locking hubs are stronger than the auto locking hubs to which is a bonus. If you need a diagram of what parts ...

Looked at the back of the knuckle as you check wheel bearing freeplay to make sure its not actually your swivel hub bearings which have the freeplay??

Im a mechanic and in my shop we only really use the aerosols, other than that ive bought an air ratchet and a gas soldeing iron. The air ratchet ive had for over 5 years and its still going strong. As already mentioned 10 times over, there stuff is pricey but it works a treat, im in love with there ...

Receiving new centres doesnt fix the problem of the wheels failing in the first place. Make sure you ask for a report or follow up call in regards to why they failed.

There should have been shims in between the back of the spider gears and the carrier, i think these are what you use to adjust your clearance. I fitted mine in with it too loose thinking "ahh she will be right" better loose than tight aye?? wrong. Back lash is terrible now haha but i live ...

And make sure they have sufficient sized fittings (at least same or bigger than factory vent pipe) or they will cause excessive crank case pressure.

I love seeing the jap crap with there flash monza oil catch cans with big outlets on the rocker covers going to pissy 5/16 - 3/8 catch can fittings.

So the CV was just floating around in the housing/stub axle all that time?? surprised it didnt hammer the bronze bush that the cv butts up against a bit. I say good on them for making a spacer to counteract the problem. At the same time i say SHAME ON THEM for making a band aid fix on something whic...

Im not really interested in internals to be honest, Too expensive and ive never rolled an inner tyre off the bead only outers. Im after the wank factor look as well as the Advantage of the outer bead lock. Yes i said wank factor look, at least im being honest haha. So can those who have posted about...

Thats fantastic, thanks heaps mate....

Cheers John.

Just been searching for some bead lock rims and noticed the bead lock rings on ebay, Just wondering if anyone here has used them and if so what there thoughts are on them??

A slightly bent diff will also cause your inner axle seals to leak no matter what seals you use, Thats not to say they wont seal at first but after a decent 4wd with the front axles turning they tend to wear out very quickly. So just be wary if you tend to get drunk and jump your rig or are buying a...

What is meant by "slotted" castor bushes?? Is the hole the bolt goes through slotted (Cant see it being that) or does the circular bush have gaps in the bush instead of being a solid piece of rubber with a hole in it??

cheers john.
