Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sounds Good ,

I brought the Patrol with the conversion already done . but I was never quit happy with the way the auto shifted . To be able to tune it to suit the driving style would be great . I'll definatly be looking into the compushift 2 .

Thanks for the quick reply

Hi mate, i have a ls3 6.2 and im using the original 4 speed auto, i changed the torque converter to a 600 hp rated one and replaced the valve body with a nomad extreme one, also changed the computer on the auto so now it is maualised and has full lock up torque converter , all the gearbox stuff i ...

why don't you use Perlin's for the floor beams instead of RHS . you can tech scew it all togeather and it's strong as hell . I built one 12x7m and 1.5m high . used 75x75x3mm for the posts/stumps , and 6" Perlins for the floor beams . Just make sure you use 14 gauge screw's . this might be another ...

Thanks for that ledgend, With those Auberin gauges, can one gauge measure both egt and boost psi at the same time? Or do you need 2 gauges to do that? Pretty sure you'll need 2 . I've got one as a Pyro and havnt had any trouble yet ( touch wood) you have to change the programing in the gauge it's ...

over all size inc tanks is 12"x12"x4.5 . core size from memory is 12x9.5x4.5"
3" inlet and outlets .

it's a bit hard to tell as I installed a new turbo at the same time . t

well I'm about $650 -$700 out of pocket for everything ( inc the bosch pump , but I made the manifold and all the other crap my self ) . I'd say it's worth it .

Radiator is the 12x12x2" type , I still have A/C so it was a very tight to get it in . I still had to cut the grill to fit the Thermo in . I do have a couple of pict's of the manifold in progress . but there on my other PC at home . it was a pretty easy job . I just cut the back section out of the ...

I brought and installed the 600hp Frozen boost Kit a month or so ago . here's how it came up . http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz264/shanfab/Patrol%204inch%20Snorkel/PICT0041.jpg http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz264/shanfab/Patrol%204inch%20Snorkel/PICT0043.jpg it's still a bit messy but it ...

Most of the smaller TIG's you can buy a 130/140 amp . they should do it easy .
I've got a 160 amp and the 9V torch and lead's get too hot before the duty cycle cut's out ( yes I know I should be using a 17v torch but I like the 9v flexy torches ) .

I used two 90deg bend's and cut the angle of the 90deg bend to suit , if I remenber correctly the angle between the gaurd and piller is about 50deg . but a couple of 45"s will work ok . Are you planning on running the snorkle up over the roof or an Air ram of some discription ?. I used a factory ...

What gears are in it as stock ? . don't quote me on it but i think there 3.9's . if that is the case I'de be looking at 4.3's or for 37" maybe even 4.625's in my old tb42 manual I went from 4.1's to 4.625's with 35" and it was money well spent . befor doing anything your best to find out what's in ...

I just fitted a 2876 with a .64 and custom .60 AR Compressor end, very happy with it ! Intending to run 15, its at 17.5 at the moment. That was the difference between bleed valve on original Turbo set up and this one! Boost at 100 k cruise now down around 5 and EGTs dropped dramatically. Only ...

I used the same as you did for the 1/4 Chop . 5" grinder with 1.6mm thin cutting disc's . good clear line and a steady had and you'll be sweet , I've done 4 this way and never had any trouble . ( should have mentioned , I was re-welding the 20mm return back in so my gaurds have alway's been re ...

TYE , Yep, Seen that one one a few times before .
how's the Ute going witht he new turbo on it ?

OOOO , that ones nice and shiny , I like it . look's like it's been been done very well.

I've used hi end Bosch Metarbo constatly over the past 10 years . both are realy good if you buy the trade quality ones .
the one's that have the soft start and variable speed typically F@$k up first as there a little bit more electronics in them .
But it really comes down to buget

x2 for a truck distributor if it's for a toggle switch .
I hade 2 in my GQ center console . I just drilled a hole in the Switch blanks and mounted then up in there . worked great .

no gap's and heep's of tack's . befor you start welding you want tacks at leat every 10-15mm . This will keep the seam's nice and even once you start weling it out . if you want you can basicaly just keep Tacking/spot welding your way around till you've completed the joint , trick is not to let to ...

If you have water in the Sump oil , typicaly the oil will go a milky colour . not exactly sure , but you could have corrosion in the engine thats allowing the radiator water into the block . has it been using water ?. If so , I'd just start off by pressure testing the cooling system with the engine ...

sorry got no picts , but it's not that hard to do . as said before , just mark out the Raduis that you want to cut and go for it . But , if you cut out more than about 10-15mm , your left with a gap between the outer skin and the wheel arch tub . the more you cut , the bigger the gap . I cat about ...

I live in Sale so buying from Morwell wouldn't be to bad , so far the cheepest I've come across was $375 delivered to my door witch I thought was pretty good . I'll keep having a bit of a serch around .

thank's for all the help guys .

Just wondering where everyones been getting the Trep's and at what price in Vic.
I'm after the 35x12.5x15 radials and seem to be getting big differences in price's .

help would be great

you can tee into the external waist gate hose ( probly the easyest not the best ) .

or you can drill and tap one of the pipe's post turbo that run to the inlet manifold

single or 3 Phase ? . Miller make some great machines . havn't used their pulse modles alot , but I used a 350A syncrowave for 10 years and it proved a very reliable and simple welder . I'm not a big believer in using pulse while tig welding . I wouldn't spend alot extra to get it as a feature ...

I've ran 35x12.5-15r 's on 10in rims for the past 6 years as well with out to many problems . I've found that they handle great and you dont get any were near the sidwall flex on the road with 10's . but have found that the overall track can sometime be an issue in deep ruts ( your wider that they ...

I'm not sure if all modle's are the same , but in my shorty the rear's are a 12mm fine thread with captive body nuts . The rest are 10mm fine bolts that pass through the floor of the body . the rear's can be a pain when the welds have brocken on the body nuts . when mine did the same as yours , I ...

shanfab, like the look of the air ram head, what model navara is it off and is it much mucking about? and it is 4"? Looks like a factory one and no it cant be 4" as it goes inside the 4" tube. it's not to bad to do . the OD of the Factory navara air ram is about 94mm. All I did was rolled a ring ...

if your going to get a pannel beater to do it , get them to cut it and Weld an infill back in . looks better and you dont have to silicone around were most people pop rivet them back in . :lol: And if you cant find someone , suck it up and hav a go :twisted: , you can do it nice a dodgy in a couple ...

just to update an old thread , I've just made a 4" snorkel to my shorty and fitted a Navara Air ram. I had to stuff around a bit to make it fit , but I think it turned out OK . http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz264/shanfab/Patrol%204inch%20Snorkel/PICT0203Medium.jpg and one of the air box as well ...
