Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi all - does anyone know if the side contour panels of the BW are the same width from the 80 series to GU Patrol (side by side drawers). The BW1000 is specified for both cars with the draw dimensions the same. Doesn't mention about the width of the side contour panels. So will it fit without the ...

What options ar ethere for installing some slide/roll out drawers into a design such as this? Having to stack boxes in and out is a PITA, but better than nothing.
regards
Mike

Hi guys I have a 3.0 TD GU which is about 12 mths old. I recently replaced the suspension - the rear coils had sagged. I don't tow anything heavy, or regularly, or load anything in the back, apart from when 4wding, but it's not what I'd consider overloading, just the usual tent, stove, recovery gear ...

Thanks guys. I noticed on my Nissan service receipt they used Durablend at a cost of $68.40. The car has only done 20,000kms

Cheers
Mike

Hi Folks
Just looking at engine oil options for a GU 3.0 Patrol - is Duroblend significantly better than Magnatec for a GU 3.0 Patrol.

Cheers
Mike

Guys - thanks for the feedback. Will check out the water in the filter suggestion. Also have it booked in to check sluggish performance off idle. When I start it (cold) and try to reverse up the driveway, bloody thing near stalls and a poke of the accelerator yields silence ie doesn't rev it up ...

Hi all - has anyone experienced problems with the engine malfunction light illuminating while driving?? Has happened a couple of times when touring after the air conditioner is turned on. Car loses all power. Can be reset by idling down, and turning ignition off, then on. Had a Dtronic installed ...

There's plenty of feedback on the Dtronic unit on Exploroz. Was asking the same question myself just recently. Seems all good from what I have read, with most pple being very impressed, although it voids warranty. There is another mob offering a similar product, but the Dtronic unit seems to be the ...

Thanks for the tip, Bogged. There were 10 squillion threads!!!

Interested in hearing from owners with later model 3.0TD GU's fitted with Safari Dtronic and other branded chips. Is the extra grunt worth the money (~$1500), estim at about 15% more power, 19% more torque? Significant difference with and without a camper trailer (for those who tow)?? Any feedback ...

Does anyone know off the top of their head, the above measurement (storage system fitment). The car isn't to hand at the moment.
Thanks, Mike

As a loyal customer, ARB have offered to refund the rims. They suggest ProComp should be held jointly liable, for the repair of the flares having stated that not all 285/75 tyres of the same nominal width are the same. It appears only Nissan rims are +10mm offset and all other aftermarket rims for ...

Checked Nissan owners manual - states offset as 10mm (doesn't say +ve or -ve). The ROH Wheels application guide lists the 4wd - 6 stud on 139.7 PCD on 16 x 8 with no specific reference to the Nissan Patrol as 13mm negative. If we assume from the former that the correct offset is +10mm and the ...

Thanks for all your opinions on my 28903203948023894 suspension questions. Decided to go with the OME's subject to it solving my flare clearance issues with my ROH wheels and 33" muddies.
regards
Mike

Yes. Purchased 2005.

Gidday folks - recently purchased some Pro Comp 33s (285/75 16 - 12.5inch) muds for the beast and over the weekend put them through their paces over some fairly challenging terrain. I noticed during the day that the rear flares had cracked their mounts and were hanging out from the door flares by an ...

Any opinions on the above comparison? For a GU touring, club trips and camper trailer owing, daily driver use etc.
Thanks
Mike

Hi folks - following on from my prev question, where are the best places to buy known brand suspension for price and service - pref in Melb. We get club prices at ARB (5-10% disc) but are there any other alternatives. I would need to get it fitted.

Thanks
Mike

Does anyone know how firm these are? Have only found reference to N19 fronts not the N21. Std, Medium or Hard?
thanks
Mike

Hi folks - thanks for the info recently on GU suspension. Here's another one for yer. Are the above LR tanks any good? I've found a couple of NEW 145 litre units without fitting kits. One has a leak, the other damaged in transport, meaning no chipped paint but minor denting. Any idea what it would ...

Hey all. Thanks for your feedback on this. Had a quick scan of the proposed 150mm limit on lift modifications and requirements that DON'T require an engineers certificate. Is the following an accurate interpretation of options - assuming lift sought without engineers cert with existing rubber ...

Thanks. I had a look at some of the threads - tended to suggest Konis or Procomps or LTRs (Bogged). Procomp seems to be pusing the Ridepro gas shocks with there own coils. I presume this is different to what you guys were suggesting. Thoughts?

Folks Looking to spend some more money on the forby and interested in your opinions. 2005 GU LWB 3.0. Used as daily transport. Also tow an offroad camper trailer weighing 750 dry. Do mostly club trips, nothing too knarly. Running 33" muds for trips and std wheels/tyres during the week. Std springs ...

Hi Tazz I purchased a 3.0TD GU late last year and was advised by the dealer they only do them every 10,000km now, despite the fact the book shows 5,000km intervals. No doubt all part of the manufacturers trying to reduce servicing costs so the things wear out quicker. Makes you wonder!
Mike

Does anyone have any experience with the above combo (Shocks - Gas Desert Fox by Gabriel/Dobinson HD coils). Are foam cell shocks worth the premium (+$125 for four)? To be used in a GU with BB, dual batts, towbar, rear storage, cargo barrier ie some weight F & R, and towing an offroad camper ...

I purchased a brand new ST 3.0TD manual in Sept for $46 plus ORC which included nissan bullbar, spotlights, 50l Waeco fridge & $3,000 of diesel, & 5 yr warranty, so about $6k of extras. From Gary Lechte Nissan in Frankston for a limited run. I have no assoc with them btw. So give them a call first ...

Anyone familiar with the sqeak in the larger barn door - sounds rubbery. I did have a big 16" steel rim with some big rubber hanging off it until recently, however the DX's have steel wheels, so I would have thought the weight differential would be relatively small. Any known fixes if it's a weight ...

Hi - does anyone know if the older GU cargo barriers fit the 05 model? What are the differences? Simple bracket adjustments or major sheetmetal differences ie hard to fix.
Thanks
Mike

Does anyone know the offset on the standard 16 x 7 GV steel rims?
Thanks, Mike

Going up to Wonnangatta this weekend. Have a GU IV 3.0TD with snorkel, bar, muddies etc. In terms of "must-dos" before the trip, are there any other things I should consider, apart from diff breathers. What sort of pipe should I use? Protective cover? Where's the best place to buy this - Bunnings ...
