Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My friend has a 100kw 4AGE in his garage that hes not using. (In Brisbane)

If you are interested in it PM me and I'll give u his mobile.

It's a 16v one shouldn't be too expensive.

PHEW
thanks

I've got a gap thing here too but im not sure what gap to put them at when i receive them.

0.8mm?

Hiya,
I've ordered some BPR5EY spark plugs instead of the BPR5EY-11 spark plugs that are in there atm.

I am just wondering if the BPR5EY ones are going to actually work or if I am screwed.

Does that require a mod plate at all? If so can you do that on your P's ?

With these things how do i work out what that is in inches etc?

Hey I'm getting some tyres and rims next week for the car and I found some tyres that are 31 x10.5 x15 with no rims.

It's for an 84 hilux.

A) Are these too fat for the hilux? Will I need some special stuff to make it work?

B) What rims can I get for it?? I see sunrasiar rims and they all say like ...

bugger.
there is some bare metal where the paint has flaked off already which is why its getting resprayed.

Hey my dads friend has all the spray gear as he sprays stuff every day (not cars though) and he said he'll spray it for free provided we provide the paint and get it ready etc to be sprayed.

It's a single cab ute and I only want to spray the cab.

Any idea how much it'd cost and is white cheaper ...

carbies arent perfect so it wont run on start up perfectly all the time, but they can be done well.

could be any number of things from mixture to timing to gunk... well any number of things.
Stale fuel can also cause some weird symptoms. How long has the current fuel been in the car for dopefish ...

Cause it starts -instantly- it just its like put put putputput put put put putput put put put put putputputput put put put putput put put put put putput.

Does that mean it needs choke or is choke only to start it?

:lol:

Anyway I'll get my dad to help me with it.

Probably timing etc.
I think ...

I've been starting it every few days for 5mins or so (starts easy)
It runs quite roughly (3Y Engine) In terms of idling, with more revs its OK.

Should I pull the choke out when it hasnt been started for a few days for the first 5mins or so? I'm not sure about these older cars as it starts fine but ...

There are no real cheap mods i can do to this apart from a 2" body lift, right?

Well I finally got a ute.

1984 3Y Hilux 4x4.

It's got no major rust.
Little bit of surface rust in a few places but that's it.

Seems to be stock, tyres are quite thin (good tread tho) average size and has a tow bar and good tray etc.

:P

In Queensland what's the max width and diameter of ...

Hey, I'm thinking of purchasing a turbo diesel jackaroo.
It's currently running but has got worn valve stem seals that makes it blow blue smoke when you start it.

A) Is this serious?
B) What's the time frame this needs to get fixed in?
C) How much would this cost to get fixed?

Also it's running ...

Nearly got one today but it was soooo rusty.
I was quite interested until i saw that a lot of the car was see thru.

here's a short URL for that carsales link that isnt working properly.

$1k~ gives me a bit of $$$ to fix random things.

$1300-1500 or $1800-2000 with 6mth rego/rwc

Obviously the paint is fucked.
Engine is 18r
new tyres.

1981 model.

Looks pretty rough though paint wise.. :shock:

BTW yes I am looking mainly at a UTE but I saw that go for $690 and I was thinking ...

I just passed on this as I wasn't sure how old rockies are.

If i could get something like this for $800~ then I could spend maybe $1000~ to do it up a bit ...

No I actually would quite prefer a diesel to a petrol if possible.
It's just a matter of finding something like mentioned in this thread.

Eg, the 1985 hilux diesel with rego / other car in decent condition.

The only other option at the low price point is an MQ/MK Patrol. The L28 is a good motor.

Sierra is the best "low cost entry" but you mentioned carrying loads.

Ultimately the one thing you are going to have to look at forking for is decent tyres, they make all the difference.

For loads I dont ...

Hey guys, first of all this site is really great.
I'm going to spend hours and hours looking through some of the threads here.

:lol:

I've got about a $2000 budget to buy an old 4x4 which is capable of carrying loads and 4x4 as well as not being too heavy on petrol.

I have found a 1980~ 4x4 ...
