Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday guys,
I have a 12Ht in a 60 series.
I was curious if anyone has heard of them hunting heavily on startup?
My mate has 1 and it does the exact same thing.
Cheers guys

ok so just noticed when the car dose this the oil pressure and temp gauges read 0 as if they lost power... ??? gday mate. Check the battery to chassis earth, and that the battery terminals are tight ( loosen the terminals take them off, clean the battery posts and refit the terminals). From there i ...

Gday fellas, just curious whether or not these 2 boxes are the same. Or atleast whether the transfer cases will interchange. The Box in my hj61 is fine, but the transfer wont select low 4. So i was thinking about either swapping complete box and transfers, Or just swapping the transfers. The ...

Its grabbed a piston.... or 2. The fact it gets 1 to 2 revolutions off of the starter motor instantly says it has siezed/grabbed to an extent. Get an exchange motor ready mate. Sorry

gday fellas,
just curious whether anyone has swapped out a vacuum transfer for a mechanical transfer ? I've heard that the only differance is the idler shaft being bigger in the vacuum? Cheers fellas, Ash

Cheers mate. didnt realise that anyone replied to my other post

Gday fellas, Just curious if any one has done it. Obviously it is do-able. Just want to know how much heartache is involved. Its an 86 HJ61RG factory turbo (12ht) chassis and the cab is a HJ45 1976 model. Cheers, Ash

Gday fellas, just curious what is the most common diff swap for these old girls (HJ45), 60, or 70 sries diffs? Also, Is putting the 45 onto a 60 Series chassis a big job? I have seen it sdone on an 80 series chassis a few times, But i cant a afford an 80 series with a turbo diesel motor, so i will ...

Sorry to hijack. But has anyone put a ford 7.3 powerstroke (turbo diesel) in a 40 series, Ultimatly going in a HJ45. Cheers fellas, Ash

gday mate .... another way around it is to replace the factory flasher can with a LED flasher can ... narva sell them for about 40 bucks

I don't see how loosening the kingpin bearings would make it any easier to get the CV out. It's not like they make the opening any bigger... Maybe the CV is a cheap after market one made a tiny bit smaller to cut costs? You have to take the king pins out. The bearings are recessed into the top of ...

In the GU tech bible, go down to GU ZD30 Problems. They list in there that 2001 and earlier had all the problems, Cracking no.1 Piston. When everyone mentions that they got there engine replaced under warranty that nissan put a 2003 model long motor in. So i would presume i would aim to buy a GU ...

Definetly isnt an issue running it there. With the exhaust tape/wrap, it actually absorbs moisture as it cools down and rusts out your exhaust. Plus it will retain water when you do water crossings and mud runs. Its good stuff, but just not ideal for the 4x4 world. If your really concerned, maybe ...

Gday fellas, Just curious whether (before i start drilling holes) the snorkle off of a LN65 will fit a LN106... Doesnt have to match the gaurd perfectly but whether or not it will have a similar 'A' Pillar angle, I have held it up next to the gaurd and pillar and it looks very close, if not perfect ...

so my brakes are ., i tryed bleeding them but it didnt help , when i first push the pedal it gose right to the floor, but after pumping it a few times it builds up pressure now im guessing its the master cylinder ?? what i would like to know is if can i slap a 80 series one to give it better feel ...

Thanks Skootin not a bad bar, and doesn't seem like anyone else has any haha please people so i can decide on one for mine that offers protection from kangaroos, emu's and the odd cow but still has a decent aproach angle thanks Shane Mulcahy Mate, check Twistys fj40 build in the members section. He ...

hi guys i have a 5L in my 94 lux with a safari turbo kit i have been to a turbo place to find out the answer with not much success so thought id ask here.i have a pipe that runs off the side of the turbo it runs done and tees off to the waste gate the comes up and goes in to the air intake just ...

thanks mate,yeah i got it as far foward as it can...i can go foward more though with an extension....ill compress that side and c how i got with it clamped where it is cheers keep us posted.. i'm about to do my truck, my brother inlaws truck and a mates truck... so any help would be appreciated ...

luxtc wrote:so just run from the turbo to the actuator?will i have any problems with fuel or exhaust gas temperatures?

Yea.. the compressor cover of the turbo to the wastegate actuator

at the moment. you have both vacuum and boost working against each other. creating an initial boost spike, this would eventually equal out. But still you dont want boost spikes on an originally N/A engine.

ok ... just take the longest hose off... and blank that off ... and join the 2 shorter hoses together ... fixed

and that is why there is such a price difference. Locktup 4x4 will always be the cheapest option, they buy in bulk to save on shipping costs. Savings that are passed straight onto their customers. No worries.. Cheers fellas. In the back of my mind i think i would have gone with locktup anyway ...

In saying that. If they want 200+ for freight, i will go with locktup for sure

just buy direct from locktup Why is that. The reason i ask, we are buying $ for $ with america at the moment and they only want $319 for the whole kit (minus the steering box mount plate), as opposed to 750 or something from locktup. I understand supporting the local guys. But when your talking a 3 ...

Gday fellas, just curious whether anyone has bought the trailgear high steer from america. and whether its the same set up as the locktup equivilant (ie, still need to weld in an IFS steering box ) . Its just the pictures of the trailgear high steer look decieving, like as if the draglink is going ...

I have finally got some coin together to buy some crawler gears for my hilux, and i cant find them on locktup's website anymore (they were there about 2 weeks ago in driveline), anyone else having this problem ??

And thankyou to all other genuine NON-sensitive replies.. Just had gas check and compression and all is fine. Was it doing it before you changed the coolant. If it wasnt, open the heater tap ( turn the heater on in the car) and run it until the truck reaches operating temp as there could be an ...

You will definatley struggle to fit an engine fan, my 304 is nearly touching the firewall and i struggled for clearance between pulley and radiator, before moving the radiator to the tray. Is this a Gen 1 problem only, I easily fitted an engine fan with 20mm clearence to the radiator in a Gen 2 ...

Ryan, can you please post up a pic or 2 of you engine bay for me?? I have a couple more questions, Will my diesel fuel lines handle the pressure, or will I need to upgrade them too?? Ive had a 2L surge tank donated by an outers family member, so Im going to use it. Should I buy a petrol tank from ...

also you will struggle to run a belt driven fan as the front of the w/pump will only just clear the radiator let alone with a fan bolted to the front of it. Run a 16" davies craig thermo fan with an electric thermo fan controller on the back of that 75 series radiator
