Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all.

well, after a long winded debate with my brain, and some common sense. i have decided on my intercooler. im getting a xr6 turbo style one from plazmaman, in syndey. now, the best part is..... he can custom make them aswell, so im going 300 high, and 75mm thick, but what is the maximum width ...

cruising around the net, i stumbled across this:

https://www.plazmaman.com/shop/index.php?action=item&itemId=336" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

looks the goods, and alot of surface area there to cool shit.

has anybody here used a plazmaman cooler before?

cheers

hi all.

well, the time is finally upon me to get an i/c for the trol. looking into a frozen boost one, as they seem good value for money, and with the current exchange rate, even better.

but, im having some trouble choosing the rite one. and here is why, if i remember correctly from school, air ...

whilst that looks and sounds cool, how do i interface it with my old td42 engine? there is no obd system on the engine.

The PLX devices can read independant sensors. EGT/Boost etc..
Much like the ...

come on guys, surley somebody can answer my question.

can the auber gauges be used to monitor multiple things, and scroll through them, or am i able to fit an electric timer type thing to scroll the connected probe?

cheers

I've been using a simple means of controlling EGTS with Auber EGT pyro for a number of years, simply with a solenoid to bleed the boost off the aneroid. It allows easy protection although a bit crude a lot cheaper that an e-boost. I fitted the device on my GU TD42 that was stock internals and ...

mine did this last week after replacing my engine mounts. lol. my problem was simply a bad earth. as i have removed all the Nissan earth wires, and made my own. i even took my alt in, and had it checked. it came back all good, and i put it back in, and all good. so, just check all your earths and ...

I dont rate them very highly at all personally, im sure others will disagree.
With normal tuning you can expect around a 40% power/torque gain.

Ill look through my dyno folder tomorrow and dig out a few denco/dts/safari turbo install's and post up whats relevant.

Just out of curiosity though, why ...

how does the DTS kit with the TD05 turbo rate for the patrol td42's? im looking at getting one in the next few weeks. and im not after a roller bearing turbo. will have a 3" ftraight through. any ideas of standard to turbo power and torque increses?

cheers

well i have pulled the alternator out, and will take it to the auto elec 2mozza for a te4st. im hoping that thats what the problem is. if not, then im guna have to get an auto lekky to look at it, its got me buggered. all the earths are in good condition, all the charge wire are making good contact ...

ok, all fuses have been checked with my multimeter, and are all good. unless there is more fuses hidden in the cab or the engine bay. i have pulled off all aftermarket wiring from the battery, and returned it to factory spec, still no good.

help.

all the alternator wiring seems intact, and i have an aftermarket charge and sense wiring that i installed, that runs from the alt directly to the battery, over the rockercover. and it all seems intact. also the external sense wire is piggybacked directly ovv the back of the alternator.

also, that ...

i will also add. that it still glows as per usual (and the glow light goes out), and starts as per usual. also, its a td42 NA

Change the motor to a single phase unit or do your notching with a drop saw... Easy as and all explained HERE


wow, that is genius. wished i knew that when i built my sliders. i brought all the hole saws and stuff that i needed at the right diameter to drill therough the pipe to make mine ...

yeah mate. thats all good to do. i have the same charger, and its hooked up to my battery system. no problems so far.

hi all.

i have recently acquired a few more batteries to add to my camping setup, from our forklift (it had 4 and only 1 was buggered hehe, 3 for me) anyway, i have had these in the shed charging for a few days now, and my charger ticks off after 41 hours in bulk charging mode. but anyway, a quick ...

the bushes in the arms are genuine nissan (well acording to superior) and all the bushes in my rig are genuine rubber (exgept the castor bushes) which are the rubber peddars bushes.

castor bushes in he arms. and i had no shakes, then after an offroad session, they came back. and its hot the wheel balance, as i took my 31's and changed them there, and then changed back to them.

Those bushes in the lower rear arms are pressed in - theres no way they should move like that, especially not the whole steel sleeve.

Did you end up getting a lift kit? If so, did you get adjustable sway bars? Also, have you checked that the lower rear arms are orientated the right way, as the ...

and finaly, the rubber boot around my clutch is torn, is this a proble that i shuld sort out, or is there something behid it that still keeps the shit out?

BUT
my drama atm is the lower trailing arms, i know that i will need the heavy duty ones, but i am unsure if i will need the ...

thats true. Ive had 2 put springs back in a mates after it popped out at the glasshouse. Not an easy job, even with that side at full extention. I dont even wana think how hard itl b with a jack on the road. Lol.

And i spose that makes more sense. What are the radius arm spacers for? What do they ...

To get around your flexi spring / towing issue, you can have two different sets of rear springs.
One for your normal work and another set of HD ones for the towing trips away when you are loaded up. Just swap them over.

GQ coils are easy to change over, and if you dont want to do it, any garage ...
