Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah mate have a lookaround first plenty old gq wagons laying in backyards recently missed out on a deisel wagon for $500 drive away!! Even possibly find a good motor for $1500 just ask around and you will find one. If you were going to rebuild best to drop the sump and lift the head put another ...

Cab will bolt on mate. We did a gq chassis under a gu and with gu running gear very easy swap

For starters grab a workshop manual and in the back is a wiring diagram. find the relevant diagram indicating the ignition circuit. Usually in the steering colounm is first place to look at the back of the ign switch follow the wires down and will find the wires coloured which will match up to what ...

Hey mate when you check is usually at a servo during a trip and the hub will be abit warmer due to the use of your brakes to pull up. obviously heat is generated from the discs. If you use a infared gun generally they are around 40-50 degress running. Obviously the hotter they are the grease looses ...

The missus shopping trolley is a 2008 gu 4.8 which we put a new exhaust. Finding that nissan have added two more o2 sensors 4 in total and a pair of cats in the manifold aswell as the standard cat under the car. Being told that is impossible blah blah blah to change the system did persist and found ...

Like before mentioned this is a receiver dryer. The wires going there are for a high pressure safety switch. You can connect them together to bypass the switch but is likely to cause damage on a hot day when the head pressure is high.(350 psi+) The switch is designed to cut out when the pressure is ...

Maybe the contacts in the headlight switch are worn or dirty. If you turn the lights on you should hear a click of the relay. Blue relay in drivers side kick panel. Rarely have dramas would look at the contacts in the stalk

mate try Max Ellerys workshop manual I have found them very good. The timer works similar (or backwards) to a turbo timer when ignition is turned on they come on for a set time. Can trace the wire colour in the loom easy enough or if your sick of using aerostart put a decent relay on the glow plug ...

I ran a turbo beanie on my ext wastegate highmount turbo setup on a gq rb 30 was very effective. I bought mine through MTQ Rockhampton. Really good lowered underbonnet temps dramatically and turbo was very close to second battery ran this setup and never lost a battery from heat.

They are all pretty reliable I have owned a 4.2 and only put points in it. Rb30 turbo and currently own a 4.8 gu. All good if you dont mind putting fuel in it! I have had water over bonnet on 4.2 and rb30 didnt worry them to much.

I put mine to .86 no worries boost n fuel and fuel goes well no probs

Hey mate on 134a in aircon applicaton you should see it run around the 30-45 psi suction which is 1-10 degress gas temp so should give you about 8 degrees out the vents. The head pressure on them runs between 200 and 300 psi usually 300 at idle. Is pretty high but when your charging it with gas run ...

Talk to Sean from Swaftec industries. He does all the local diesels and has a very quick gq shorty with a diesel. Longetivity is more down to the timing and tune of the motor keep your temps like engine and egt at safe levels and no worries.

Hey mate I was recently at a truck show and there is a Aussie company making taylor made shocks fully adj and rebuildable for about $500 each. Cant remember his name got his business card will post it when can find it. He makes them to suit what you need

There are quite a few 4wd drive trucks with divorced transfer cases and arent physically to big to fit in a normal 4wd. Try a truck wrecker. Chances are if its in a truck it will be pretty solid.

Hey try wheelboyz.com.au they are in brisbane sell kmc and other brands fairly cheap. Got 5 kmc enduro rims alloy beadlock good to deal with

hey this may be of no help but I have a ls1 in a gq and used the tb42 radiator. the top standard tb42 hose lined up no cutting and used commodore lower hose trimmed back. used to have a 2.8 cant remember which side the hoses came out but top hose is easy to use or adapt from tb42.

Hey mate had the same problem with a wagon I bought towed it home and got it running and was blowing huge amounts of white smoke. Went down the usual avenues new injectors, fuel filter etc. had 550 psi each cyl. Found the injector pump timing was to far retarded. Factory setting is .65 lift in the ...

Really sounds like a master cylinder problem. For you to have bled the air out and have a pedal that is spongey and slowly goes right down to fire wall would seem that fluid is bypassing the piston in master cylinder or even might be the check valve in the master cylinder bleeding back. If the ...

Hey mate bought a 96 2.8 wagon for the missus to use. Has four inch lift and 35s . When we bought it was very gutless. Put new injectors in and mandrel bent exhaust. Was doing 15litres per 100klm. Did the injector pump timing advanced it and set turbo to run ten psi. Set the fuel screw on the back ...

Are you doing it by yourself with a bleeder kit? Have never had problems with bleeding brakes on nissan gq or gu even series 5 with abs. A incorrectly set wheel front wheel bearing can do this as the disc will sit further to the outside of the car and the caliper tries to make up the distance. Does ...

Zilzie mavs. Where do you find those guys Nick?

Hey I agree here on both points but the events was really aimed at entry level vehicles aswell. No hard feelings whoever owns it but the 60series was hardly going to roll at the pace it was going!! I have raced short mattykhanas where your lucky to get above 40kph and seen vehicles on two wheels! Is ...

Big thanks to all who made it happen on saturday! Hope everyone else had as much fun as we did! Only time we stopped smilin was when a large gum tree got in our way! Be there next year for sure!

Sutty gu thats awesome. Maybe we could pull that torque convertor back out and change the vanes to get less slip.

sutty gu how fast was that cable on your ironman? Wat was the speedo reading at?

I have seen the organiser of the event pickup rubbish countless trips and their family. I think a thankyou to them for their effort on sat night would be more in order. As for the minority of people that litter it should not be left up to just one person to pickup rubbish regardless of the party. It ...

sutty gu you get ur ironman fixed yet?

dunno bout bruised bumpstops took it real easy in the ute but the waterslide at jackpot ranch sure catchs up with ya on monday morning. Sore as.

pow84 seen your new winch. Looks like a weapon. Will you be using it this weekend? Im keen to hit the blue switchs!
