Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Give custom transmissions at Geebung a try. They did a good job on my 84% reduction gears in my gu.

With 35s & 4.11s you will be on about 1800rpm at 100k’s. I think that’s too low for a heavy truck. It might have more grunt than your diesel but not at 1800rpm. 2200 to 2500rpm at 100k’s would be good, the v8s like to rev. I think you will find the ls2 will have much more torque then a td42t at 1800 ...

I got the truck sump all bolted on there and good to go now. Thanks for the offer anyway.

F**k, I should of bought that one then. Oh well...

Sorry this is going a bit off topic, but has anyone run the camaro sump? They look like they would clear that steering arm better on a patrol.

That's going to way a tonne!

Are the standard fuel lines from a gu td42t big enough? 6mm feed and 10 return I think

Pm sent

What shifter setup's are you guys using? I'm having heaps of trouble with mine...

shanfab, like the look of the air ram head, what model navara is it off and is it much mucking about? and it is 4"?

Probably better to leave the oil in, it will keep it a bit cooler.

That just looks painfull

Sorry to sort of hijack this thread but I would like to know if a 6mm return line is big enough for an 044? (a 10mm line is feeding it)

It's got a breather hose on it as standard so Ill run that up as high as I can. This is probably a stupid question, but how will the breather hose on top of the box stop water coming in?

Hey guys, Im building a LS1 Gu with a 4L60E Auto and I would like to know how these boxes go underwater? I'm Guessing not too good? Should i seal everything up with sikaflex or something?

Cheers,

J and s autocare. Brendale 3205 3552 I've seen a few fourbies in there

panasonic make a good electric rattle gun

sorry to sort of hijack the thread but do u's rekon the standand radiator in an 01 td42t ute would cool an ls1?

If your swapping to/from a ute with leaf suspension i'd say they would probably be different. The diffs in the leafs look heaps bigger than the coil ones.

That looks awsome! lol. Does anyone know of somewhere in qld that will make something like this?

I just rang millweld but you have to take your car to them in victoria so they can make it

I like the look of this heaps more then the rubber/silcon bends.

I think fat pipes are alrite, they did a good job on my mates hsv. I think they are somewhere around near the Petrie area.

Don't even think about going for body lift unless there's a neccessity for it. Some bigger coils and longer shocks will do you fine.

I would rather buy something manufactured. More on the legal side i'm thinking.

I need to body lift my gu ute to fit the auto commodore box for my ls1 conversion. According to Mark's 4x4 website I only need 25mm / 1inch and ute's dont have airbags so thats not a worry. Whats the best sort/brand to get? Does anything have to be modified/extended? Any tips would be appreciated ...

Cheers do you reckon a 2 inch lift would have enough clearance? Eventually it will have a good 5 inch lift but I didn't want to do that at the same time as the conversion.

So I buy the dipstick tube on ebay? And is that cut 70mm off the original LS1 dipstick,not the tube i'm guessing?

I'm about to buy this for my ls1 patrol conversion just making sure it's the right one. And Is there anything else i need or have to modify? Can I just use the dipstick and tube off the original LS1 sump? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-CHEV-GEN-3-5-7-6-0-REAR-HUMP-SUMP-PICK-UP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ ...

Just out of interest are the factory lockers in the gu ti any good? And are they a front and rear locker?

Which reduction gears do you guys recommend for a gu patrol ute with LS1 and commodore auto? I was leaning towards 85% because of the commodores first gear???

It would be interesting off road. As soon as you hit boost going up a hill you would just have wheel spin. I wouldn't think it would be as nice low torque as a V8 or diesel.
