Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Get a genuine nissan gasket and check clerance between head and manifold before you tighten it all up. I found on mine that the gap between the 2 was to big from being machined too many times in its life. So I removed everything and ground the brackt down a bit to reduce the distance from the ...

Just got my mk back from a diesel engineer and when I was there I asked him his thoughts on the subject. He said that in theory having extra lube shouldnt hurt but diesel is full of oil unlike petrol and that the 2 stroke oil wouldnt dissolve properly in diesel and that if you let you car sit for ...

hey guys. I wanna upgrade to a gq. Ive found a na 4.2 gq and wanna know a ball park figure on what it would cost to turbo. thanks in advance for the info.

Hey guys, I have a 86 mk swb. After last weekends 4wd trip I have now got a clunking noise coming from the steering (I think). I can drive over all sorts or terrain and as long as the wheels are straight there is no noise. If I try to drive through an S bend or when I change direction on the road I ...

Righto fellas I found the square ubolts. hahahah. Now what are the odds of these braking. i want more articulation but I dont wanna have to keep climbing under there to see if its safe to drive. I have newish enforcer springs ( not sure if there lifted ones cause they were on it when I bought her ...

Hey steve. Any info you could get would be great. Thanks heaps. Richard.

Hey guys. I am thinking about removing the swaybar of my mk patrol but have read on here that it can damage the square ubolts, which I cant seem to find. The only ubolts I can see are the big ones that hold the springs in place in the center of the springs. So I thought the mks mite not have em ...

Hey Scott. Thanks for the advice mate. My mate and myself dont really know what we are doing but we pulled the airbox side of the turbo and can see the turbo spinning. It even spins on idle and when you try reving it up it dosnt spin any faster. My mates dad will be able to check all the other stuff ...

Hey guys. My mate just bought a 86 pajero with a g63B 2lt turbo petrol engine. Was wondering if they are a factory thing or if it has been converted. Hes also having some problems with it, it dosn't want to rev and sounds like its choking ( my guess is the previous owner has gotten water in some ...

Cool. I will keep it then. thanks for the feedback.

Hey everyone, Today I asked the missus to stop in at supercheap and pick me up one of there blue snatch straps. I read on here that they rated pretty high for a cheapo strap. But they had sold out of em so she got me a 11000kg snatch strap made by Maxi Trac. just wondering if anyone knows if they ...

stupid that is.

Do they make 33s.

G Day fellas, After fixing my leaking exhaust manifold I decided not to put the aircon setup back on cause it didnt work anyway. i pulled the condensor of the front of the radiator removed all hoses and belts pretty much everything except the aircon bracket cause its used as a spacer for the head ...

Cheers for that mate. But I snapped a exhaust stud when I was putting it back together. Got danny from prothread coming tomorrow to get it out. I havent put the aircon bracket back on so he has more room to work with and the two main bolts on the bracket are head bolts. and the bottom 2 are sump ...

I also want to know if I should put some manifold cement between the two gaskets or just on the outsides. Cheers

Another quissie, When i pulled the top of the air cleaner off there is a turbine looking thing made from alliminium in the top of the air intake. looks to me like it was designed to get the air spinning down faster maybe?. there was another one in the hose that came off the turbz. Are they standard ...

Well I pulled it apart and now all I need is the gaskets I ordered. Just wondering if it is a must that I use some sort of gasket goo aswell as the 2 gaskets. I only ask because all of the gaskets that I've replaced on the motobikes I've had over the years I never used any goo just the gasket and ...

Hey fellas, I have just spent over $500 having my zorst manifold machined to stop a leak, but the leak is still there. I am going to try 2 gaskets and a heap of sealing cement to save me having to get the head machined. I just wanted to know if there are any tips that use have that will help me in ...

Thanks for the replies fellas, But I have just refitted the muffler. I figure it would prob be a bit much drone for the kids in the back on long trips. Otherwise it would be gone. Cheers.

Gday fellas, I have broken the mounts off my exhaust and where the muffler is wellded on and there is now a split aswell from it being banged around. It is a lukey performance muffler. I thought they were for petrol engines. If I cut the muffler off completly how loud would it be or do I definately ...

Righto, so I have a 1986 mk patrol SWB 3.3TD. I have got probs with it surging and jolting from what feels like fuel starvation. But this only happens in 4th or 5th or when I have to drop to 3rd on a steep hill. Only under full or heavy throttle this prob happens. Even on flat ground when sitting on ...

Problems back. Wasnt dirty fuel, isnt air in the system. It only does it under full throttle tho. If I cruise around everywhere it runs fine. When accelerating onto the highway buy the time I have reached 100 it is surging and jolting. I think this is fuel starvation. Then I push the clutch in and ...

Gday fellas, I just finished pulling the tank out and flushing it out. And it was a barstard of job with the spare wheel holder thingy gettin in the way. I replaced the fuel filter again and gave it some fresh diesel from a different servo and she runs like a dream now. whoooo hooooooo. I was ...

I cant get to it till sunday, but cant wait to have it all sorted. A mate of mine rekons the injector pumps get lazy round the 300k mark. I hope he's not right. Thanks again for all the info.

Well I checked the guaze thingy with no signs of shit in there. Re bled the fuel system and check for air leaks by cracking an injector and everything seems ok. So I drained the diesel and next step is to remove and flush the tank. Fingers still crossed for bad fuel.

Got rid of that undercar spare wheel holder and got halfway threw removing the tank and broke 2 of my ratchets. Some idiot put locktight on all of the bolts. Got the shits with it now but tomorrow I'll get a new ratchet and check the guaze. Is the guaze filter on the inlet pump near the fuel filter ...

I'll have a look mate. I know that on the fuel filter there is a drain with a sensor on it that tells me when there is water in the filter. Thats prob the water/fuel seperator. Thanks for the help.

Is that the drain plug on the bottom of the fuel filter? Where is it if it isnt.

Could it be the fuel pump on its way out.
