Outer Limits 4x4 Board

after upgrading from a gq to a gu i wouldn't go back to a gq, the gu is so much quieter and more comfortable. my gu was a 4.5 auto (now a ls1 :twisted: ) don't expect great economy, but i doubt you pajero would be doing much better, i towed a car trailer on a regular basis and never had a drama the ...

i would totally agree the ecotec would be too underpowered for a patrol, you could do a ls1 for the same dollars and would have a lot better power.

My brother IL just bought an immacculate 100 ser (with all the accessories you can think of) from Vic and got it trucked up. It's got 5 inch coil and 34ish size rubber. Very nice car. Anyway, he took it to Rocky for the roadie (gas inspection), passed without a hitch (except had to put the third ...

i did the turbo gas thing and was getting 30l per 100km, i did the efi before that and that made the economy worse, but it made it a lot better offroad. if i had my time again i would have either left it stock and put up with the lack of power or what i ended up doing in the end rip it out and fit a ...

i'm running the 4l60e with internals upgraded to 4l65 and haven't had any issues, much easier conversion as the engine and auto are all matched up and you have no issues controling the auto, i have heard of a lot of nightmares trying to get factory auto's trying to talk to transplanted motors. if ...

i fitted a ls1 fuel economy and power went up signifently.

i would think ther would be plenty in the wreckers

don,t forget the cost of gu diffs as gq ones will look small under a gu

that will only kill the starter, not the coils or injectors

i ran 4.1 with auto and ls1 it was good combo with 35's if any thing if you need lower off road go transfer gears.

doesn't read right though

can you get me one too jegs had aftermarket ones too

they are expensive in terms of how much gas you get, about $30 each, compared to about $70 for the boc refill, but the $150 a year rent is a killer with the boc bottles, if your only doing small welds, the disposibles would be cheaper, but if your doing big projects i wouldn't bother.

go the gen 3, you should be able to do it for under 10 grand easily, check out ebay for complete motor, get marks bellhousing adaptor, make your own mounts, i used a set of block huggers out of the states, in hpc coated cost me about $550aus landed, painted are about $150 cheaper, truck sump off ...

he's in qld, but give killa kustum kables a bell, his number is 0404 811 498 or killa lux on here.

there not that big, smaller then light force's.

do you mean the cup that the bearing runs in, they come with the bearing kit or do you mean the spacer that goes on the outside of the bearings, if its the spacer it would be genuine or someone may have one lying around out of a wreck.

i didn't think nissans had flanges on them, i thought they all had free wheeling hubs

it sounds like overload, but the fact that the bulbs draw a lot less then 1 amp, i doubt that it would be the case. check that the wires haven't been pinched under the light fitting. a trick to finding a short is to remove the fuse and but a headlight bulb in its place (solder a couple of wires to ...

my mate paid about $7000 for a complete motor. i spoke to a guy the other day who paid $16,000 to get the conversion done.

thirsty and there no power house. ive had mine for 6mths with no dramas

just get a airlocker at least you won't keep breaking centres. i have also heard you can make the factory locker operate on air pressure

what economy are you fellas with the ls1/2's getting with your setup's? Aza 6-6.5 km/l compared to about 3.5-4km/l for the 4.5 i would say closer to 3 times the power from a stock motor with a lot more potential with a tune or blower :twisted: thats for auto. the best bit is you can load them up or ...

there has been plenty bolted in patrols and cruisers in the past, but now days the ls1/2's are a lot more popular

from what ive seen even the second hand lids from the 3L are $2-300.

the wreckers only charge $200 for a complete air box, on here ive seen them as cheap as $50, i'm just too slow to get them

id just replace the 2.8, the std rb30's are just as gutless and use, a lot more fuel. unless you plan on spending money on it don't bother.

in the process of ripping it out and fitting a ls1

grinch, you spent in excess of $10,000 on the RB30?? Standard RB30 high comps are 9.0-1 Standard VL turbo donks are 7.8-1 Just thought i'd add that as i've seen prople posting 9.5-1 for high comp and 7.5-1 for low turbo. I've since been reading the manual. RB25 should lower the comp yeah, but that ...

you will need to find a patrol sump as the car ones are different. honestly if your going to go to the expense and effort of a engine swap, go something bigger, idealy an ls1. i had i rb30, i blew that much money on turbos, aftermarket ecu's, gas research, intercoolers, and in the end it was still a ...
