Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day all.
I have the chance to get a complimentary set of shocks from someone my brother knows. Just wondering what is the longest "standard" length amongst the 4wd makes? This company only caters for standard height suspension replacements. Its going onto my SOA 60 series, but that doesn't matter ...

I have had SOA and a pretty psycho looking ute chop for a year now. Been driving around all the popular suburbs of Sydney -- been followed, passed, RBT'd, followed some more, staired-down, etc etc by dozens and dozens of cops. Never once been questioned or stopped. All tires are covered, and mud ...

Hi Dan
I own a 1999 Deli.
For me it sound taht this part is next to dieselpump. I know there is a connection to the cooling system of the engine. This valve controls the dieselpump in relation of the enginetemperature. Anyway a pic would be very helpfull.

kanis

Kanis, thankyou, that sounds ...

Yeah its a bit tricky, especially with a description like that!!

Thanks for your reply though, but I am not sure what this EGR you speak of is. But yes, it has coolant running to it, and it looks like that perhaps when the coolant reaches a certain temp, this valve may push up against this spring ...

G'Day guys,
I have a question about the 2.8 diesel intercooled, this one actaully being in a DELICA.
I am going to struggle to explain what this piece of componentry is, but here goes!
It is a small valve that sits in a cast casing, and it has coolant run through it. It is down low on the passenger ...

Okay thanks stuart, I will have a look during the week.

Appreciated, Dan

I have searched and searched, and been through the bibles, but can't appear to find my exact problem.

Freind has a warn 9000 that works sometimes, but other times it seams to "free spin".... the motor turns, but not the drum.

The other day we were winding the cable on, and it just started free ...

I am also very interested in this topic question! I only have a year or so left on my engine. It is a 2H, been running 35z without a qualm for past three years. Plenty of power to sit on 110/120 on freeway, but does get knocked back to 80/90 on the bigger hills. Keeps up with traffic fine around the ...

Turbo diesel auto 60 series. Some had seven seats.

Just do all your home work on the engine condition etc and there is no reason you couldn't pick up a good one.

But I guess for the price you could maybe get petrol Patrol auto on gas aswell.

This sounds like they have a pretty small price ...

Suncorp and Just Cars will if you have done stuff to the car -- mods and add-ons. See my prev post for details.

Depends what mods though. Describe ur vehicle and stuff.

I just thought I would add my experiences to this thread, as it is linked from the tech bible, and hence will be read by a fair few.

I have been doing all my insurance searching etc today. Been through pages and pages on here. Anyway, I am under 25, living in NSW. I only want third party property ...

Page five of the aforementioned document does affirm your statement Tiny, so yeah, you're right. But refer to Bub's instruction for the ideal way to do it.

DAWSO search "vsi06" on the NSW RTA website. That is a document that outlines what you can and can't do re these sort of mods. Check out page five.

I can only go by what my panel beater told me, but last year when I chopped my sixty down to a sort of extra cab type thing, he said that the strongest and cheapest way to do it is keep the rear-most pillar, and re-use it.

As I can see from the pics that you cannot really do that if you are ...

Cool thankyou all. Done now, and looks great

Just went with a wet blade, then polished it all up with some ammonia.

Thanks!!

Okay sweet thanks Meldge, I'll do that.

I'll get onto now!

My car was at a panel beaters a year or so ago, and it got little specs of paint (overspray from primer) on the front windscreen. I'm speaking about 15dpi.

Whats the best way to get it off? I've tried all the basic stuff I have in the shed -- turps etc, but to no avail. A razor blade does get it ...

some more shots of your car from Watagans Matt

Dan

hahah!! nah there were never air lockers for them. There are a handful of detroit lockers for them in the country, but goodluck getting a hold of one of these!! plenty of LSD's, and a load of cig specials!!

Dan

you need to get the 14x6" 140mm 4 stud pattern in the speedy wheels

which as earlier mentioned is the same as the peugot's

also look out for groovy looking peugot alloy wheels

you will pay upwards of $150 a wheel for the scorpion rims, but they are factory offset. Still a 14x6 though ...

event 4 day one

Was a mad weekend. Thanks for the ride in your passenger seat Ben!! Was mad over on our side stabbing it backwards and forwards in the wooly-mammoth holes!! And in the mud "FUCKERN GET UP IT FARKEN GO!!!!!!' hehe. Ben drove well alll weekend, we just lucked out a couple of times.

Rob had a blitza ...

yeah red one is John Burrow's

haven't heard much of him since the "trailer" accident

anyone know what stage of rebuild he's up to ?

VERY VERY VERY EASY.

Unbolt everything. Cut radiator shroud (or do it neater way like me and re-mount radiator 2" lower).
Undo 4WD gear lever boot.
Install blocks. Bolt in.
Steering will slip down enough.
Everything else will stretch.
Fix air intake (add in bit of rubber tube)
Bend and/or ...

Dan

just added this to my "members" thread, so thought I would add it here too

okay, I have had a few people PM me asking how I did the sOA and also how much it cost me. well I thought that maybe so that this thread can be used as a bit of a reference asrticel too (very basic reference!!) I would ...

YAY!!! people talking about my car!! LOL

Hi guys, I am dan, and I own that brown thing.

BudyTunna I just sent you a PM about my spring over. And I forgot to save a copy for myself..... would you be able to send it back to me and I will post it up here, with a little more explanation?? Thanks ...

oh excitement... yay.... so ben, we all get to wear pansy yellow shirts all weekend hey?? hmm.....

but on the plus.... I don;t have to buy one

Mr. Dan.

cheers fellas. I forgot about the 4wd systems ones.... might be the go as long as I can see one before I order it. Sounds nasty to me at that price!! Thanks for the advice, I will send the bro over to the local tjm shop to check out a price....... supplied only...... cause I will gladly attack the ...

heya all

My little brother (first year apprentice = on a budget!!) is after a snorkel for his 92 model 3.0L V6 Pajero (GLS with the silver flares).

I understand that an ARB one would be in the vacinity of $500 yeah?? But are there any cheaper options...??? Is there someone about that makes ...
