Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It's actually a 93 model. Still overpriced by the look of it. Thanks for the info guys and your opinions.

A mate is lookin at buying an 89 model that only has 150 000 kms on it. I think it is a bit dear at $14000 but he seems keen on it. How do they perform? He was looking for a petrol one but can't find one.

Tell me the good and the bad.

Thanks guys, I'll see how I go.

Just finally fixed my timing belt and have checked my clearances on valves but need to find out the firing order so we can check it. I cannot find it in my manual. All the clearance specs are their but not the firing order. Does anyone know?

I have a tapping noise that gets worse when I accelerate.

OK I put the timing belt back on how it was when I took it off but now it won't even start. The injection must be wrong. It is two teeth out. As I know it starts when the marks line up but doesn't quite run right, I will adjust it off these marks, but which way will I adjust it? Should I take it ...

Hi guys

Replaced my timing belt the other night and the car now has really good low down torque but revs really highly to get to only 80k/hr.

Lined up all the marks as per manual. Noticed when I was taking it off that the mark on the injector pulley was sitting at about 10 o'clock instead of ...

I am looking at changing to a 5 speed but don't know exactly what is involved.

What gearboxes from newer hiluxes will suit my car and what sort of modifications will I need to make?? I am hoping it will just bolt straight in but I don't think I could be that lucky!!!

It is an 83 LN46 2L diesel ...

Just finished putting on my extractors after 4 1/2 hrs. Never thought it would be so much trouble. Had to remove air cond thingy and then when I put the extractors on I could only get 6 out of 8 bolts back in, holes just wouldn't line up. Only out by a fraction of a millimeter but they just wouldn't ...

I put Recaro's into my 83 lux. Used same rails as what was in there already just had to modify them a bit. Also had to make the new seats higher so I have four bits of 65 x 65 RHS post under my ass for the extra height. Dodgy I know but it works a treat.

I just (last night) drained all my oil put in about 3 litres of diesel and let it run for about 5 mins idling. Then drained the diesel and put in all new oil.

Any probs with doing this, heard it works a treat, looked like it did diesel was black as. First time I have ever done it though.

Core will do me a 30mm heavy duty bar for $240. Snake racing's equivalent wil cost me $285.

Will keep looking but don't think I will get it cheaper than Core4x4's price.

Thanx for your help guys.

Upgrading was my first thought also, but I rang ARB and TJM and both said that there are no aftermarket parts to replace it.

Would prefer to buy bigger and better so it doesn't happen again, but where will I get it from. Any ideas????

Just curious as to the reason why my drag link assembly? (bar that runs between two front wheels with ball joints on either end, called three wreckers and they all called it a different bloody name!!!) bent while attempting Carnage Canyon on Friday. There were no rocks that I smashed it on. It bent ...

I have 31" centipedes on my hilux. Have only had them for about 3000 klms though. They seem very good though get me a lot further than the old AT's. They are noisy on my mates car but he is running them the opposite way to me, but I find that mine aren't all that noisy. He has the picture of the ...

Definately can't go to meeting as Wednesday is my wife's birthday so I guess I won't be playing indoor either

Wednesday nights are no good for me as I have Indoor Soccer on that night. What time does the meeting start maybe I can make it soccer is at 6:45 and goes for 45 minutes.

I pulled mine apart a few weeks ago trying to fix mine (go straight to the floor the first time I push them, work on the second go). I just pulled one apart at a time because I could see how everything went back together again didn't have a manual to go off, and no mine still aren't fixed yet ...

Hey guys, I really want to join a club and do one of these runs but I can't make it on the night, my 30th birthday. Spewing because it is an easy run and youre last couple have been more difficult so I have been waiting for an easy one to come up.

How are the ratings set up. Easy - good for ...

Engine type should be on the plate under the bonnet. Mine is an 83 2.2l diesel and is an LN46.

yeah still has the canvas doors. In pretty good nick. Just got to convince the missus now.

Hi guys

looking at getting another smaller 4by. Was looking for a cheap sierra but came across an LJ50, cheap. Was wanting to know how they go for an old car. How easy is an engine swap? In the latest 4wd monthly there is one in there that has a F10A in it. How much would this engine cost ...

Bugger!!!


So i have the front ones around the wrong way. What a pain in the arse. The one I have on the passenger side says D/S and the one I have on the drivers side says N/S. What would the N/S stand for? The back ones don't differentiate which side they are on so I guess they are OK.

That ...

I have already rechecked the ubolts for tightness and the rear drivers side had come loose so they are tight once again.

I was unaware that thermay be different springs for different sides will have to check that out.

I put in a 2" lift about two weeks ago and now the drivers side has a considerable sag in it, about 30 mm difference. Have checked over everything and all components look OK. The clamp that is holding the rear leaf pack together is not straight but that is about all that I can see that is wrong. It ...

Drove it yesterday and didn't notice anything unusual about the steering or braking but will pick up an adjustable one tomorrow so I can go to Ormeau this weekend.

Sounds like an adjustable one is the go. Just tried to force this one on again but there is no chance in hell of it fitting.

Thanks for your help guys.

OK put a 2" lift on my Hilux today but now the torque bar wont fit. Any suggestions on what to do about this guys. The bar only needs to be about 5mm longer.

What function does this bar perform. My book just tells me what it is called not what it does. I have taken it out for now car still seems ...

The only measurements that I can find in my owners manual for my 83 duel cab Hilux which may be of use is the wheelbase measurements which are - short wheelbase is 2585 mm and long wheelbase is 2800 mm

Anyone put one of these on or know someone who has????

I know they won't be the best but for $950 for the complete kit I am seriously considering them.

Any thoughts.

Found one at the gold coast today and they will deliver it to brissy for $7 extra. Bargain
