Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Sounds like when you adjust the master cylinder up to get a pedal you adjust it past the transfer port which allows the fluid to return to the reservoir so it feels rock hard when you try to push the clutch fork back with a lever (effectively the same as having your foot still half on the clutch ...

Sorry to revive an old thread. Did you diff loosen up at all? I'm considering shimming mine up but worried it will lock it solid. Pep Ended up pulling mine out as i wanted a different ratio with my LS1, never loosened up but cut the life of the tyre in half or worse.. didnt bother with the new diff ...

You can run a few different boxes .. patrol and late model commodore (4l60e,4l65e) autos require electronic input, early commodore (th700) dont except for lockup converter. If you only need a 3 speed go th400.. check out marks 4wd adaptors

priced a genuine set last week for my GQ $600 per side trade price Cant justify $1200 on manual locking hubs but standard avm's dont cut it & got told by the avm suppliers not to bother trying the hp version as having a ls1 on board will smash them too.. Everyone tells me go factory nissan .. havent ...

I have these on my gq 5" lift flex is awsome . But under brakes dives on LHS and lifts RHS due to the design , so i wouldn't run them on a daily . Very unnerving at high speed braking . how bad? does it still steer straight or dive off the road? was looking at getting a set of 4" for my daily :?

thanks .. I have vcm suite so i can change the pcm output to calibrate it but that wont help while the needle doesnt move.. figured that seeing a set of points used to run it it shouldnt be too hard to get working..

just put a LS1 into my GQ but the tacho doesnt work. worked perfectly with the 4.2 carby engine , have hooked up an aftermarket tacho to the pcm and it works but would prefer to use the in dash 1.. any suggestions? does it need a pull up resistor or something?

Speak to James at PGS in Mornington, he has produced some lazar cut shimmes that is putting in the LSD's with great results. Ye thats the guy i got my shims from, i got 4 thinking my lsd was buggered, but was only able to fit 1 in hehe, well atleast i got some spares now for later. how thick were ...

looked into doing rb30/26 into mine .. from memory using the tb42 auto box with rb25 auto trans bellhousing and flex plate with a 300zx convertor(patrol has a bigger input shaft than rb25.. pretty sure 300z was the same size) will work

cool :cool: has anybody who has an auto put 4.3 or 4.6s in their truck. Is there any negative effects with the auto? Cheers running 4.3 gears & 33" tyres on my tb42 auto GQ .. better acceleration, better economy, runs slightly cooler and doesnt jump back gears at the slightest hill in short no

yep .. use a rattle gun if ya got 1 .. they get pretty tight sometimes

marks do a kit for the auto to transfer, not sure about manual tho.. be interesting to see how it goes.. at worst force feed it

thanks

My experience is if you shim them to lock you get that, if you shim them tight and go to ormeau it will be same as normal limo by the time you get home, complete waste of money and time Hey mavzilla how many shims have you put in? I was told put 2 in to tighten it up n 4 almost locks it.. I was ...

Thanks..

Anyone got some GQ twin spots calipers etc for sale??

The 4.8 gu has bigger brakes again but pretty sure you need a 16" rim.

89 model wagon
whats required when fitting later gq ones - just discs n calipers? or do i need hubs?

About to put an LS1 in my GQ (factory 4.2 carby) and figured it best to upgrade the brakes before I do..
I want to keep my 15 " wheels.

Any suggestions? can skyline or cruiser 4 spots be converted to suit?

just shimmed up my gq lsd with 2x 0.7mm shims from hobzees 4x4 , driven about 50 kms .. it howls like a MF on tight turns (best just call it locked)

anyone done their diff? what results did you get? will it loosen up?
thanks

you were right .. it was the left rear wheel bearing ..

thanks for the help

have done .. still does it (straight up).. even tried slightly overtightening them , no better

my calipers pushing back on hard high speed (over 80kph) cornering, only seems to happen on right handers. its a gq twin cab with 33x12.5/15s on 10 inch rims. wheels bearing are good and correctly adjusted .. is it possible for spindles to flex? any ideas? seen it before?
thanks

Get some off a late GQ EFI model

will they fit with 15" rims ?? arent the discs bigger with twin spots too?.. wouldnt mind more braking when ls1 goes in but dont wanna change rims

mate try some of the truck places who do mod plates in your area .. they can do it as a cab modification(like when they put a sleeper cab on) its a grey area but as most fourbys have a chassis it can be done.. just been talking to the bloke who does my mod plates(engine etc) and he said he cant as ...

just doin mine .. i cut at the c pillars then moved the last 6 inches of the roof up and modded the d pillars to the same angle as the c pillar and plated where the doors used to be. Would upload pix but cant do straight off the computer
