Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If it's the same as a GU (which I believe it is), you can change the plastic gear on the transfer case end of the speedo cable, it's about a 5 minute job and i think a new gear was about $40 from Nissan.

Most Nissan dealers will say the same thing, however, if you have the part number for the bushes, they usually realise that they do actually stock them.

I also had problems with both my LRA tanks in my GQ. The aux tank snapped a rear mount clean off, which i didn't realize untill the other rear mount started to crack around the weld and leak fuel. And a couple of months later (same trip, was on the road for 9 months) the swell pot (approx 30cm high ...

Hi guys are the rubber ones worth the extra $ or poly o.k ( nearly half the price ) tah

When i installed an adjustable front panhard, it came with poly bushes. After 2 day trips they were flogged out. I replaced them with nissan rubber bushes and even after a 38500 km trip around oz they were ...

Sounds about right, i got 2 a couple of years ago from FTG Nissan for $95 each.

I put one in my GQ (Turbo 35's etc) that was running warm ( i would start to back off when water temps climbed over 110) and i never had an over heating problem after that. If the radiator was clean you would be pushing it real hard to get the water temps over 90, and if it had mud in it you were ...

Thanx for that.
Where is the inlet on that cleaner?
Is that a Std 4.5Ltr cleaner?

The inlet can just be seen behind the cap for the radiator. My snorkel still comes through the guard in the standard spot (i had a safari snorkel installed before i went stainless) And yes, it is the standard airbox ...

I installed one out of a 4.5 GU, it's a tight fit, but it does fit in. It can just be seen in the picture below.

It looks like there will be no room with that air box for a 2nd battery?
From memory you have your second battery in behind your seats?

Yep, that's correct. I relocated my second battery behind the passanger seat. If you relocated a few things in the engine bay and made a custom tray, you would ...

Another airbox that's meant to flow well is the airbox out of a 4.5 litre patrol. A few of the turbo petrol cars built at ONTRACK have used them, including shrek (although the one in shrek had a modified inlet). I have one in mine and it has a 3.5 inch inlet and outlet.

Looking at the photo's I think you would need a body lift to get enough clearance to fit the 6" diameter barrel.
Someone's been spending up big, he's got a nice new PWR alloy radiator for the engine as well. What happened, did PWR have a sale on or something?:D
Regards Andrew.

Your correct about ...

did you go the 6" X 8" barrel? looks good.

I think it's a 6" x 6" barrel

KiwiBacon wrote:What're you using for a pump and radiator on that setup?

Like what drakan69 said, the water pump, radiator and thermo fan were supplied from PWR as a kit

I have one on mine and i think it's great. Before the I/C went on, i would start to back off when the EGT's hit 600, and that was running 10 psi. I'm now running 15 psi, with the fuel screw wound up to max and i have trouble getting the EGT's over 450.

Here's mine



and here's a mates

As hottie said, i would be careful about the amount of weight, i've seen inner guards crack with just a single battery, let alone having two of them.

Mines cracked in the same spot, can just see it with the drivers door open

It's around $1600 for the kit which includes the barrel, water pump, radiator, thermo fan etc..., however you still need some brass fittings, hose clamps, hose, some electrical items and the pipe work to plumb the air from the turbo to the intercooler and the intercooler to the inlet manifold. In ...

Here's a pick of mine. It's a PWR barrel, as weeman said, the one supplied with the denco kit is simply too small.

I've got a PWR radiator in mine and love it, well worth the money, it runs cooler full of mud then my original one did even after it had just been cleaned.

I've got a PWR alloy radiator in mine and that fixed the overheating problem i had

They must have gone up quite a bit in price then because i got mine a bit over a year ago and they were $340 for a LWB from FTG Nissan

I have the same vehicle and same size claws, I've done about 15000 km on mine and they have lost pretty much all of their offroad bite. I'ld say after 20 - 25 thousand km that will be shagged.

At ferntree gully nissan they have also gone up in price, but not by much. I picked up a couple around mid year for about $105 each, and a mate picked up one a couple of weeks ago for about $110.

I recently fitted a PWR radiator to mine (it's a GQ but it's the same engine, TD42 with aftermarket turbo) and it made a huge difference. With my old radiator, even just after it had been taken out of the car and cleaned properly, the Hill just out of Marysville heading towards Big River I would ...

You should be able to get an adaptor for it, although it may be hard to find. I went to Enzed and Pirtek and they couldn't help me, i then went to the place that supplies Enzed with there adaptors and they were a great help, i simply left him both sender units and the next day he had an adaptor ...

I was up there all weekend and left just before presentation today. When i left it was pretty clear that Birdy and Hoon were going to win. Last night they were 25 points clear of second place (Rohan, Cass, Dave and Wayne). Although Rohan and Dave beat Birdy and Hoon by 1 min 40 on the only stage ...

Myself and 13 of my mates will be going up to support Rohan.

Because he hurt his knee at Ateco, he's going to be driving and Cass will be his navi, instead of the other way around as planned. Be interesting to see how his new engine goes.

I used a set of vice grips to hold the shock and stop it from twisting, i used them on the weld near the top of the shock so you don't crush the shock, or if your not planning on keeping the old shock, one of mates actually puched a hole in the upper part of the old shock with a screwdriver to stop ...

If you hav a 4 inch grinder and don't mind taking the shield off that stops the sparks from hitting you then you can do it yourself. Had to do this a couple of months ago and that's the method we used. We just ground the nut off the top. This was to a GU however it's the same setup with the GQ.
