Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just realised how old that post was, Man what has happened to this place?

is the red light ontop of the dash blinking?

sounds like you have an imobiliser problem, more than likely the transponder chip in your key

Cut The mounts off the late chassis and weld or bolt them onto the early one , or just make some new brackets to mount it

you don't need to do anything if the car was previously registered with that VIN/Chassis number.

all you need is the VIN number and current engine number.

Just get a blue slip for it and go pay your greenslip and rego.

a quick and painless upgrade is to point a single blue or red LED to the cluster from the top of the steering column.

the gq rd28 came out with 2 different head-vacume pump configs
one had the vac pump on the valve cover and the other on the alternator

if you have a GQ one that is the same config as ur gu it is the same engine.

the sumps are interchageable

if u ask me stick to the td42

plug the one on the mixer and the one on the converter should be open to atmosphere.e

sorry when i meant by solenoid was the diaphram on the diff. you have to vent teh opposing port on the locker when you activate either one. so when you lock, the unlock port must vent to atmospehere, and vice versa, this may be your prob? my cam is not huge but my truck idles at under 800rpm, it ...

Ive mucked around with it alot now with an air tank, but it only engages like 1 out of 5 times? Starting to think its not supplying enough vacuum from the engine? there may be a leak or a prob with the solenoid. my cammed 383 has enough vac to keep it locked solidly. PS: youe air compressor is also ...

if your on a tight budget, and if you dont know much about what you are doing with rebuilding an engine and the costs involved AND you wanto sell the boat, i would just chuck a standard cammed 351 or even a 302 clevo back into it. it will have plenty balls enough for the boat as is . a second hand ...

Thanks Jesse ill try get a small vac tank from a wrecker, I'll try that way first up and then probably get a valve setup eventualy so I don't have to unplug hoses all the time, Cheers Jess dont forget the one way valve on the inlet to the tank from the vac source. . the diesel patrol vac tanks have ...

Hey guys just brought a factory locker for my Gq all I've got is the complete diff rear diff (no lines, soleniods or air tank) I've read about people by passing all the soleniods and just using a 5 way valve saying that this works better?? Has anyone done this? Does it work ok? If so where can I ...

Bit off topic sorry, but a interesting post earlier mentioned increasing flywheel mass to help low down torque. I am curious how a flywheel produces torque? Marty basically rotating flywheel mass gives you torque, at a sacrifice of HP because engine is working harder to spin the weight. If you have ...

what info do you need? your question is seriously broad ie fj40's from 196*- 1984 and a few different gearboxes makes every conversion a little different you have a dellow adapter but what of your engine or gearbox model or mount system. you can have an engine plate or engine mounts you can have the ...

4b fabrications specialise in this stuff. They recommended my cam and heads all suited for low down torque. It has a lot more then standard pos ls1. But still terrible. Am I wasting my time trying to better it? Would a good auto box better it. Or? if the power is coming on at 4000rpm their ...

you need to cam it and dial it in for low down torque. this will drop your HP numbers down but it will give you useful torque where you need it. about 2000rpm most engine builders will sell you alot more torque and HP and when its installed it will give you that, but too high in the revrange and its ...

they are nice

details are here

It's going to have to be fuel injected to be legal on petrol.

You need to get gas injection fitted. Any reputable kit from Australia is fine

Cheers

Underthe carb there is a few barbs coming off in a group. Pick the large one of these.

hi mate

bj42's came with factory fitted 5 speeds so aside from the top plate being wrong it will bolt up without a problem.
if you can find a bj42 5 speed top plate even better ( if i could find 10 0f these i would buy them all hehehe)

injected chev late or early?

you can get your origional tacho recalibrated to accept a 4cyl signal to work with the LS series injected chev or if your chev is early injected you get it recalibrated to suit 8cyl.

lpg works ACE :) you can buy aerosol HYCHILL refills from bursons, and the adapter and hose from bursons aswell. cost you less than 100 to refill with hychill, bottles are 20$ and the fittings and hose will cost you 80. once you have the hoses and fittings you can refill with hychill OR camp stove ...

best thing to do first is flip the manifold first so that the throttlebody is facing the passenger side first, then you can utilise a commodore airbox and plumb it straight into your snorkle.

hi mate

i woudl take the manifold off and have it machined flat. its probably warped and/or not level.

no i hope its simplex and doesnt get to complex!lol
i clearly asked for gurus,cmon!

what do you want us to come and see your car and give you an on the spot diagnostics?
you have to check the things that have been posted first.

There's a filter on your LPG line? How wouldn anything get into the lines. Check that the tap on your tank isn't almost shut. yes there probably is a filter on the main lockof from the tank. you can get shit in your gas line exactly the same way you can get shit in your fuel tank. what happens if ...

you could have blocked lpg filter
could need to adjust the mixer/converter
may have a faulty mixer.

could be alot of things, do you have a complex or simplex system?
