Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Lubing them up with a general grease should be ok. I know some greases attack the poly but not sure what types. If they are super tight, make sure they are right for your car. A guy at work has had problems with ford f-100 aftermarket poly bushes, we had to machine them to fit! Otherwise a long bol...

I might sound like a dork, but i'm completely new to puly bushings... :oops: I have bought a kit with bushings and shackles for my patrol MK, but the kit contained no clue to how to mount them and what to lube them with... I know of course where they are going, but how do i get them into place? I tr...

Anyone got any idea where i can find body bushings for the body mounts on a lwb patrol mk? I've searched ebay and on google, and i find lots and lots of body bushing for almost every other vehicle in the entire world, but not for the patrols... mine are cracked and deteriorated and really needs repl...

There's a support from the turbo outlet to the engine block. When remounting the manifold in the car, you should loosen this support from the turbo outlet until you have tightened the manifold nuts. If you don't do this, you risk that the support bottoms before the manifold is tightly mounted to the...

Just a flying idea: Why not replace the relief valve with an electrically operated valve, and trigger it with a switch activated by the clutch pedal. That way you would "punkture" the pressure during gearshift and let the turbo spin more freely :idea: ..... eeer, on both up and downshift -...

the mark is on the front pulley, and a mark on the camshaft chain cover to align it with. A little dodgy to see, though.... thanks totto, i see a pin on the chain cover. should i align this with the two drilled holes on the pulley? please bear with me as i really want to get the exact timing positi...

Anyone know the answers to any of the following questions? Can't find them in my rep manual... What is the impress or backspacing of the original steel rims following the patrol 160 around -86? What is the track width of that car? How much alternation of the impress/backspacing will nissan allow on ...

American magazine Fourwheeler or Petersens 4wheel And Offroad (Can't remember which one)had an article on this some time ago. They had a 24-Volt battery setup in addition to the car's original 12-Volt, and a special voltage converter/charger combo charging the 24-Volt setup. Downside is that when yo...

After reading that link.. I have a little Question now. I have a 1986 Mk SD33T.. Needless to say some power might be nice.. Currently running 2.5" exhaust no mufflers... Whats all this turbo boost/Fuel adjusting thing.. Is it possible to dig some ponies out of this beast?? Its still a big heavy thi...

I've been adjusting the valves on my 3.3 over and over again, but still there seems to be one or two valves that are ticking. My workshop manual states that the valves should be adjusted with the crank in upper dead center, and lists the valves that should be adjusted in one position and the valves ...

I bought an auto back when there were only good brands on the market. It cost me as much as the welder, but i've never regretted the use of those bucks ever since.

hey, just like mine, but without the silly decorations!

Most LWB patrols up here from around -85 to-86 are of that type. Huge inside space, but a pain to load anything on the roof-rack!

The origianal sd33t has a boost compensator that is said to follow pressure up to about 12,8 PSI. Look at the rear of your intake manifold, there should be a thin tube running from there around the back of the engine and into the diesel injection pump. I'm running 10.7 PSI on mine whitout adjusting ...

Don't know if it applies to your problem, but i had a similar problem on mine. Besides using a thin layer of exhaust mounting compound on the gasket, i realized that if the turbo is mounted on the manifold before it goes into the car, the support running from the turbo exhaust outlet to the enginge ...

And don't even have an english version of their site, at least not that i can find!

.........but i don't want to damage my fridge (2.5A) or keep blowing globes in spotties. I thought a fuse should be the weakest link? Amperage is the amount of current the item, i.e the fridge of the spotties consumes, or "let's through" the item. Voltage is what'll kill your fridge and globes if t...

Or, if, as it seems, you want a combined switchbord/fusebox look in boat accessories shops, they have these small boards ready for mounting with both switches, and the fuses changable from the front.....

anyone know of a source of gearbox rebuild kits for a mk-86 5-speed?

..........Needless to say, those convertors are not 100% efficient and you run the real risk of flattening both batteries if using one for an alarm. Don't worry about that, modern converters are fully electronic and very efficient. I run my alarm off a converter, and the consume is not to worry abo...

Why not just tap 12v between the cells/batterys? No need for a regulator. /Magnus Because this will cause the batteries to charge unequally, thus eventually lead to destruction of one of them cuased by overloading. I have learned that a winch or a real big consumer will be a problem. But i migth be...

I had the same problem on mine. It seemed that the leak was on the lower side of the manifold-to-cylinder head surface. After a bit of thinking and checking, i took the complete manifold assembly out of the car, and used a straight metal file to deburr the surface of the manifold - it had serious gr...

its illegal to leave the car with the engine running on the TTimer anyway....... In my part of the world there's a swedish company selling what they call a "turbo-saver" that is actually an oil reservoir that fills up while the endgine is running and then slowly empties itself throught the turbo af...

I still recon you mean the steering wheel centerboss - it has 36 splines.

Mine has relays for each circuit, providing 12 volt to all connections to the trailer. 12 volt taken from converter. If the chassis of the converter is grounded, then ground the uhf to normal ground (cab/chassis) try it out with a test lamp first. As for the steering coloumn - if no one has the answ...

I've seen fittings for nylon lines, a sort of push-in-and -lock fittings. Two of these and a threaded piece of tube in between would do the trick. While you're at it, by enough to have a spare too in case of another damage. I've seen these fittings in shops that sell pneumatic equipment, and at a sh...

Today i moved the line to the boost gauge from the turbo-to-wastegate line and up to the point where the pressure valve was located before. Got the parts from a plumber, just a matter of replacing the blind plug (pressure valve removed earlier) with a plug drilled and threaded for the fitting to the...
