Outer Limits 4x4 Board

if you do a search for "cross country intercooler" plenty of threads from the past will come up. i have a cross country top mount, yeah its good, but the wait time to get it was horrendous (3mths i think from payment). hopefully they got they act together in the couple of years since then. (i had a ...

me personally, i won't muck around cut and shutting a standard one in used on road. i would if i needed to for my trailered rig. buy an adjustable set, at least least for insurance purposes.

check where the wires come over the front of the motor passed the thermostat. mine came off their holdigns and were flopping against the fan. haven't had a tacho for a long time as as you said - drive them long enough you have a pretty good idea what rpm going on

it's a big enough job, but if your 96 body is in good nick, i'd be swapping

i have not read the article you talk about........are they talking about the sleeve the bolt goes through or something completely different?

i've been told a tb45 is only a tb42 stroked out. where it's the same blcok to take a carby head i do not know. if it was me in your situation i'd look to the efi option, but i dont know how much of a pain in the arse it might be, never done anything like that......yet!

i pretty sure standard diesel diff gears are 4.1. i believe standard petrol are 3.9 and the factory 4.6 gears are out of rd28t's. you will find that 4.6 diff gears with a n/a td42 will be difficult to highway drive on 33" tyres or smaller as you will be contantly changing 4th/5th on even the ...

i put a cross country intake on my ute, unfortunately i'm still coming out off the build up stage so going from a n/a td42 to one with a high mount, i/c and new intake manifold, i can't give any clear answers if it helps or not. i'm just super happy with the overall result.

the trailer i am thinking of had been engineered with holes drilled in different members to reduce the tare weight, while still being well built (as could as you could tell in photos!)

i have a bolt on set up that is not fitted yet. i can probably take some photos and email them. if you haven't heard anything from me by mid next week got onto me as i would have forgotten about it

a fair while ago there was a car trailer in the classifieds for sale that had an atm of 3500kgs and the trailer only weighed 450kgs. can anyone help me to who had or now has this trailer as i'm wanting to know who manufactured it.

or......

i'm could be in the market for a car trailer to be made ...

i run the abr - sidewinder units. have had no problems apart from the terminals coming loose (nut i'll blame that on a bouncey old y60!).

shadow: have you had bad personal experiences with aluminium radiators? like most things you can argue black and blue for either.

is a factory hdj70r radiator the same whether factory turbo or n/a? i have no idea but something worth asking.

Canyonero 4x4: if your going to fuel up your turbo then i ...

Patrol Docta does as well, about $800 for the snorkel and box

Hi, does anyone knows if the air box from a vl commodore (injected skyline motor) is the same as one off a tb42e?
Thanks lepa

i dont have a piranha set up so i'm not exactly sure how they operate, i run the sidewinder auto unit and the way they say to test it is working is this:

with a multimeter check both batteries while the car is off

start the car, the main battery should start charging immediately, once the main ...

i've got a post about my dealings with cross country in the general tech section, but in answer to your question (in a word)....no.

there kit for a y60 still comes with the bits to hook up to a factory y61 lowmount. i'm still mucking around trying to get a custom pipe made to go from my highmount ...

this post is coming from a very UNHAPPY customer.

a summary of my dealings with cross country 4x4:

mid july rang and spoke about the purchase of one of there patrol intercoolers, was told 3-4 week wait. paid in full at this time.

after 3wks, was told it would be 4 - 6wks. ok fair enough

after ...

what you can also do is put a bottle jack under the thread and take the weight while using the "smack the sh@t out of it" method. this has worked for me

i suppose your waiting to get a cross country cooler??? i was told 4wks wait to start with, then 6wks, and now its been 8wks and i think they've only just started to my kit together. i feel your frustration, my only consulation is its for my car and not someone paying me to install one!!

i haven't had a chance to read your replies yet, but i will.

however what i have done since posting this is:

fitted a factory y61 td42t airbox with a paper filter. this box runs a 3.5" outlet which i've run in this size to a 3.5" to 4" straight hump into the turbo. using a vaccum gauge, this set ...

hi,

after not finding a search topic that really answers my question - here it is:

in your opinion, is an aluminium or brass/copper radiator better for offroading?

i have a y60 td42, highmount, fuelled up, awaiting crosscountry4x4 intercooler, and needing a new radiator. hence my question

thanks ...

in a word yes. however since nissan stopped building them people have been asking 'inflated' prices for td42 variants - just look at y60 models. i probably paid to much for the last y60 diesel i bought but that was the going price a the time. the others have asked some interesteing questions, but ...

that's a can of worms type questions. put up some more detail for a better answer

thanks clanky,

gives me more to think about!!!!

to revive an old post:

Re: TD42 Conversion!!!
gearbox (can keep transfer) and gearstick ( or auto if you wish)
clutch (master, slave, booster if you want, clutch kit)
tailshafts (can keep small 2.8 ones if you wish)
engine mount adaptor on drivers side ( i have details for this I can send later ...

i've recently put a new motor in my play gq ute td42 with a big turbo. i'm still getting it properly set up as i'm broke.

my question is this:

i'm after a 'budget' airbox upgrade. i'm going from a safari snorkel through a factory n/a td42 air to a factory gu td42t still mated to the safari snorkel ...

yeah its an amp for the stereo

everyone will have a different opinion, just like on tyres. what have you got? ute/wagon? every day driver/weekend tourer? what type of weight you gunna carry? etc etc

i've been told to charge an agm type battery the charger must have a specific setting for that type of battery. apart from that i can't help
