Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys just wondering how hard it is to run a box outa a 95 wih the power and hold button on dash and mine is just a 89 model with only the power button?

the air locker assembly is pretty straight forward, mark both caps so you know which is which. one side of the air locker will either have a snap ring you need to undo to get the seal housing off where the air line goes into or it will have 3 allen keys you undo them, then you simple undo each ...

I used to use low range found it alot easier to drive but now that ive slaped a turbo on high range is no problem

hey guys got 2 Q's

firstly ive heard 550 is the going temp for pyro on a diesel, is that celcius or farenheit?
also ive finished mine and ive turned the fuel up about a quarter of a turn but it made no change to idle speed and i think it needs more fuel is this correct?

sorry update on this. It turned out to be an injector. Must of just been a coincidence that it failed at the same time the injector was siezed open which is why when i cracked an injector line all i was getting was what looked like airrated diesel coming out which is why i thought it was air. All ...

hey guys i got a non turbo mq patrol and i fitted a standard turbo kit including injector pump, whats happening is since i put it together i seem to be gettin a miss on cylinder 1, it was running fine on the weekend without the turbo but since ive swapped everything i seem to be gettin a miss, i ...

hey guys,

Hey Guys,

I'm looking at purchasing a GQ Patrol LWB and want a 6" suspension lift with no body lift and rang around a fair few places in VIC and im looking at $4,000 installed or $2800 on its own... could this be right?

Everyone that I've spoken too does not reccomend it for a street registered ...

Read up on OLDMAV's posts on Patrol4x4.com, 1993 - 1998 have weaker rods and pistons and wont take as much boost as the early TD42's.

If you are a member of Patrol4x4.com post up a question to OLDMAV or PM him.

Dave.
thanks mate, i was sorta under the impression that they dont handle boost as ...

hey guys, i know theres heaps of turbo threads on here, ive heard that later model 96 diesel motors dont take boost as well as earlyer ones, why is this and what sorta boost is still relatively ok i was thinking of running 10psi? cheers

Gday guys im after a stainless steel snorkal for a gq 3litre were can i get these from and how much.? and are they much more $$ than the plastic snorkles thanks daniel.

im running 35 MTZ and there a little noisy but with the windows up you hardly hear it over the engine. i dont think there bad at all

EDIT: i spoke to the RTA and they checked up on it for me,

it was a national reccommendation in which NSW DID NOT take up, i cant say if other states did or didnt.

they also said that if they decide to take the reccommendations into effect then all affected will be notified.

hope this helps ...

just wondering would this turbo work ok a on td42 with a custom turbo setup. . also it has the internal wastegate hole in the exhaust housing, can i just put a internal wastegate in there because i dont want to run a external wastegate. cheers

edit: would help with a link http://cgi.ebay.com.au ...

cheers

yep, have seen this when the vehicle has been used for really heavy towing or when vehicles have been oveloaded constantly. I saw this exact thing in a Telstra GU about 4 weeks ago. It had cracked out on both sides in about the same place as you suggested.

thanks mate, pretty sure hes been doin ...

hey mate, i have a 96 gq, it has 262000 on the clock. mine makes the labouring feel up to about 1050, i put a new clutch in and it make it a little better but still does it. ive heard it with alot of diesel gq's.

hey guys, noticed today that where my bumpstop mounts to the chassis, its been pushed up, and the chassis has a crack about an inch high up the side of the chassis rail. its the same both sides, looks like the car has bottomed out hardcore and its pushed the bumpstop up and bent its mounting and ...

Technically... it would be the same as all my previous vehichle then. I've already had it a week now - it's overdue.

I'll put in a noisemaker if I have to, but I wanna remote start!! Didn't realise it would be so damn hard to do. JBHifi or something similar (what's the black and yellow one?) I ...

i just got a clutch from clutch pro i forget the exact name. supposedly a big company that deals with 4wd in brisbane swear by these clutchs. they reckon standard PBR or daycon clutchs have around 500kg clamping force. and this one has 620kg i got it for 330 at trade price

Hang on! I think I had too much bath water??? R u saying that the 4.5 and 4.8 petrol exhaust manifold will bolt onto a 4.2 diesel nissan motor that is in my patrol?

Sorry for sounding confused, I just always thought they don't match. If thats the case, well...... I'll be buggered!
pretty sure we ...
