Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cheers Oldmate, very helpful!

I'm about to start up my freshly rebuilt 12ht, but i have a few queries first... I can only find the 'hot' valve clearances documented, so is there a rule of thumb to help set them cold before the initial startup? Once she is warm i will set them again 'hot' but i need a starting point first! Also ...

Another thing my memory has me stumped on is whether or not to put in the 2 smaller welch plugs under the side cover on the Inj-pump side. See the pic below: http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k134/mrkjfrmn/15112010001.jpg The front hole is clean from rust and looks as if a welch plug was previously ...

Thanks Shaun.. Its good to hear someone come to the same conclusion i had! I ordered the two gaskets from toyota today so should get them before the weekend

Hi all, I am currently rebuilding my 12ht, but i am stuck at the reassembly of the oil pump pickup/output pipes... The problem is that the gasket set i have doesn't seem to have any gaskets designed for these flanges, and i'm struggling to remember whether there was a gasket, o ring, or nothing at ...

Sounds good!

Good luck with it!

Yeah you'd use three of the spark outputs from the computer, hooking them up to one coil for cyl 1+6, one coil for cyl 2+5 and another to cyl 3+4 (although to suit your firing order) This is the simplest way i know of.. As for running 6 coil on plugs - yes you can do this and its easy. If you still ...

Wasted spark with a 6 cyl is just a case of using three spark outputs from the computer to drive 3 coils. You can run coil on plug (6coils) if you want to, you'll just have to split the output from the computer to each coil. What i would do is use 3 coils that have 2 outputs like in some of the ...

I've built and am running a megasquirt v2 on my datsun, and i can't speak highly enough of it! I'm running a crank pulley trigger wheel and 1 coil per plug (wasted spark). This meant i could ditch the sloppy old dizzy altogether and set the timing and fuel exactly where i wanted it. I built a custom ...

xf is 70mm i think

Can someone help me out and answer a few questions about torsion bars? It seems my torsion bars have sagged on my D21 navara, so i want to raise the front back up to match the rear. When i looked under the car, the torsion bars are at completely different adjustments - is this normal? One of the ...

Thats a good point. My wheels are about 20mm outside the guards... Assuming i want to keep these rims, is there a good way to get the 31's to fit? I'm not afraid of chopping a bit of guard, but i would prefer to only chop the front if possible. I am just a bit concerned about whether i will be able ...

Hi all, Just wondering whether anyone knows the best way to get 31's to fit on my '87 D21 Navara 4wd? I have 31's on the rear but when i tried to fit them on the front they clashed with both the front and rear of the guards when steering. I am wondering whether the castor is ajustable enough to ...
