Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If your going to put the time and effort in, have you thought about a zd30 instead? The results would be chalk and cheese.

One thing to think about, is would the z24 manual cope with the additional torque of the td27. I am not saying it wont, just something to think about.

And the better option is....... I have only ever wanted a hydraulic winch, however an electric winch came up at the right price. Like yourself I was concerned about unprotected 12V winch cables, winch solenoid faults and trying to use equipment that actually has an appropriate 12V rating. About the ...

OK.

Good to hear your still kick'n on with it.

Garth, are you not happy with your motor build?

But I've heard a steamer helps. Yeah most things are easier after a good shit but it's still a bastard of a job. lol On the proviso that I have to remove all the old stuff. A real mess apparently I had my vehicle tinted on saturday (2 days ago), I witnessed & chatted to the professional tinter ...

Since youve changed the amount of boost, have you done anything about more fuel?

By the way you describe it, if you dont have a good egt gauge yet, it might be worth your while getting one.

D21's have separate chassis.

Having read threw the excitement of this thread i get the feeling that 500 hp is possible from a td42 so am on the look our for one :roll: :finger: I think stacks will help achieve this.... My fear is that some of those posting drible and trying to baffle with technical bullshite right or wrong or ...

Is it constant clicking or sort of a bit random?

If its not the CV, I will guess & say its the hub becoming disengaged from the, for lack of the proper term, 'drive collar'.
Have you put the cv snap rings back on in the right spot? Or the spacers behind the 'drive collar'?

You might want to fix your ebay ad, tb25?

hmmm I wonder how long before a snake racing src damper.......

Do they have any data to back up their claim?

I wonder whose product they have ripped off & made an inferior copy of, now.

Thanks 91mav.

Agreed, nice build

Is it fair to say that your set up is like driving around in 4 high all the time? Reason I ask is how do you think it will go climbing steep stuff, little motor pushing big tyres & no low range?
Not having a go, just interested.

sweet, I have always liked the idea of an SR in a buggy - weight is everything

I couldnt see a gearstick, so I assume auto?

From a quick google & look at a few shell pages, spriax a s2 (not sure what the s2 is though) is api-gl5 & spriax g is api-gl4. Nissan specify api-gl4 for our gearboxes.

Garth, PM'd.

Yeh, Nippon Max.

Anyone in the know?

I recently went to a shop specialising in air & oil filters, I asked for either Fleetguard or Donaldson filters & he came out with a Nippon filter. He gave me a bit of a sell on them & I politely insisted with what I originally asked for, stating this is the first time I have seen Nippon. Anyone ...

chunks, this is an interesting read about adjusting boost compensators: http://www.landroverweb.com/Pdf-files/T ... _Rev_2.pdf

dig, dig

Anyone notice j maxx is now j maxx 2? (seems 20L drums only??, like that makes sence)
j maxx 2 is low sulfated ash, Im interested in changing the oil i use now

(assuming manual gearbox) Gearbox oil needs to be API-GL4. Not 5.
Castrol VMX is one oil, that is the right spec.

I would be using ATF in the transfer case.

stupid question, however you said it still feels spongy

are you bleeding the actual load valve as well?
they do have a bleed nipple

Aside from the idler arm, the steering is not so much 'weak', more so the centre link can rotate in the horizontal. With a lift, the rotation in the centre link causes the tierod ends to operate outside of where they are designed to, then you get bending etc. Ufortunately I never really found much I ...

as said above k&n are not he greatest in dust

Donaldson do very good filter housings & filters. It just takes some effort to fit to the car.
I maybe wrong, but I think they do 'powercore' filters/elements for the cyclone style/shape housings now as well (probably a bit easier to fit).

??

its pulse width modulated, a on off switch isnt going to do much here.

they are called king pin plugs

no aftermarket kits i know of have them.
nissbits from patrol4x4.com knows what they are and does good prices

4 of them arnt cheap tho.....


seen here:

taken from the genuine nissan GU manual

have you had a look at the donaldson powercore range?

from memory the D09 flows around the 350cfm mark
A D10 flows, again from memory, 600 odd cfm

takes a little bit of fitting, but if thats what your after.

edit: re-read - snorkel connection - not so easy - but not impossible

having one in a 4wd smaller than a patrol, i think you might be somewhat dissapointed in the torque.

A bloke at work has a late 70's ford with, I believe, a cleveland v8 on gas Normally the engine starts & runs fine however if it stalls or is turned off it will not start again, untill left for 10 or 20 minutes. Then it will go again no worries. Its run only on gas, no petrol. Any suggestions what ...
