Outer Limits 4x4 Board

mate i reckon buy it... u might be able to make your money back once your down... and it bloody hammers, i was in it haha..


do it you pussy, i need more people to fourby with

ye it was all done right, there is two conclusions: 1 either there is shit in the fuel line because it started stalling on idle just as i got to the top of ameys hillclimb...
and 2 the fuse for the idler solernoid may have blown, where is the fuse for this? so i can check it.

[quote="mike_nofx"]Is that 300km corrected for big tyres? or 300km on odometer? assuming its odometer, 35's are 13% bigger diameter than 31's so its actually 339km you are getting. 80 litres for 339km is 23.5L/100km and thats about right i suppose. Thats what i get with my 33's. ah yes i d...

You're tank vent system isn't working if you're getting hissing from the tank after you stop. Is it pressurising the tank or depressurising. You may be forcing more fuel through your engine than normal. But as the guys said. Its a heavy drunk. Takes a lot to get it rolling. ;) it depressurising.. a...

my tb42 is only getting around 300kms to around 80 litres, does that sound right? i run 35's and 4" lift, motor has about 30,000 on it after reco and carby was just overhauled. i can hear a hissing noise coming from the fuel tank aswell just after i turn the car off.. it is a real prick of a sp...

I just read that the after market 4.6s get noisy after 35000ks now Im thinking to go genuine in the rear and after market in the front which means I might as well go for the 4.3s and find a second hand front as it will be cheaper than 4.6s now. nissan quoted me nearly 1000bucks for just rear 4.6 ri...

my parents are thinking of buying a 2004 landcruiser sahara, it has the petrol 4.7 v8 in it, im just wondering what its like on fuel. also what is it like to tow a caravan with?

thanks

What you need to do is work out were you cars sits at comfortable in the rpm range at 100km/h and choose the gears that will put you in that rpm range in 5th gear. thats a good idea, ill try that tomorrow... first week of my patrol on the road fuel costs are going to kill me on apprenticeship wages...

i was afraid you would say that.. i wish there was an in between 4.3 and 4.6 diff ratio

would 4.6's be bearable for long distance? i used to drive a 2.8 hilux and it reved pretty high down the highway.

im just tossing up wheather i could tolerate 4.6's down the highway or not

it is my everyday driver aswell as my play truck... but ye i plan on doing a few trips to hit up some tracks...

will 4.3's make a noticeable difference? southern diffs told me ill only gain an extra 200 revs?

what ratio do you guys recommend for carby tb42? i can get two complete 4.3 diffs for 700 bucks or two complete 4.6 diffs for 990 bucks... nissan wants $1250 for just rear ring and pinion..

i really cant afford to make a wrong choice

i was thinking of putting in 4.6's, then i got told my truck will rev too high on the road ( i have a tb42), then i got told to put in 4.3's because its a good inbetween ratio that illiminates the sluggish feeling but still keeps the revs at a good rate... then some one else tells me that im wastein...

[quote="351ciofgrunt"]How long is a piece of string?

two times half its length

any ever found made bought a short shift to suit a tb42 5sp manual box?

ye that is true ill have to have a muck around tomorrow.. i hope its not expensive, i just sold my gut lux for 9000... so i have 9000 bucks worth of spending money on gq goodies not repairs..

there are no yuck noises any where and all four wheels were driving today on flat. but it seems as soon as there is a mound of dirt or something where the front end articulates or gets stuck (as in front wheels need to pull the car up a rock etc) the rear wheels sit on the spot spinning and the fron...

i have zero drive to the front of my gq, the hubs lock fine. i jacked up the front end put it in 4wd locked the hubs, both wheels turn when u turn one but the drive shaft doesnt spin. then i drove forwards with it in 4wd n the hubs unlocked n the front shaft turns..

Any ideas?

im interested in knowing this aswell.. ive been thinking of doing a coil over conversion in the rear of my gq wagon, just cut a hole in the floor and build an frame coming off the chassis for the mounts..

i have just put 35's onto my gq and id like it drive like it has 31's but at the same time i dont want to be sitting on 110 down the highway on 4 grand revs..

any advice?

thanks

your brake pads maybe contaminated, may have oil or brake fluid on your actual pads, this has happened to me on a hilux after the wheel bearings carked it n diff oil got all through my brakes..

4"dobinson springs 6" shocks, super flex dropped radius arms, superior adj panhards, extended brake lines, drop out cones and spring retainers, no sway bars, 35" tyres. works really well for me...

soon to have superior long arm kit and extra extra long shocks,

Have got quote for the Toyo's yet? How much for the 35s? The last time I got a price they were very expensive compare to KM2, MTZs, STTs!! Add an extra $150 per tyre. Allied is the only company that make 8.5 wide rims. http://www.alliedwheels.com.au/[/quote] ye they are expensive but they are a real...

the reason why i would like 13.5" wide tires. is because i want the toyo open country mt. these tires only come in 33x12.5 or 35x13... and im getting 35's.

i found out today these tires can be run on a minimum of 8.5" wide rim.. do king rims make them in this size?

ok im thinking i might just stick with kings rims.. i dont want spacers or hassles..
i would love some 15x 10 rims but they arent legal in nsw, which means it wont pass engineer cert.. spewin!!

not too sure im still trying to get some knowledge up with rims... i may have my off sets confused... i would like the rim to give me a wider stance, whats the biggest offset i can get for my patrol with out problems..

sorry

I went to order tires today and was looking at 35" by 13.5" tires, for tires this wide i need 10" wide rims. all the engineers wont engineer 10" wide rims because the law states the max width is 8" i dont want to be swapping tires and rims every time for rego but i really wa...

i went to my local tyre store and asked for the procomp rock crawler rims 15x8 with -44 offset... i was told that come people have rubbing issues with their gq using this rim and may need wheel spacers to stop this.. why is this? and will they fit on a 91 gq can some one also tell me which is the be...
