Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Howdy all, Just wanted an opinion on what is best to do..... I have 2 patrols 1 registered and owned for 6 years, 1 Bought for parts, out of rego but straight as a die. was going to sway good panels of unreg one to my rego car. kind of losing enthusiasm wanted to know if they were worth selling and ...

I have a 1986 Mk LWB SD33T I am currently running a 2.5" straight through pipe with a hotdog on it.. It sounds like a Mac truck... very beefy sounding and the turbo whine through the hotdog sounds awesome !!!

Thanks guys some good ideas to start with. Kered I dont think putting lockers in the 4x4 will help with lift or articulation. thanks anyway

Just a simple question. Can I get 4 inch lift springs and just put them in with a new set of ext. shocks? What are the dissadvantages or problems I will incurr and what kind of dosh?? She's an old girl and I want some articulation and ramp over out of this sucker.. I dont want to do a SOA because of...

I am just about to embark on this project myself but on a SD33T Mk 1986 I am having a 3" stainless snorkel bent up and have a VR commodore box to replace the "large pizza" one on top so I have room for my intercooler. I am slightly behind because my Starter motor just died and about $...

Would of been nice if my Starter motor didn't die in town today. No warning or anything it just wouldn't spin at all, batt was fine.. I'm thinking maybe bushes or something. What' do ya reckon?

How's the air conditioner compressor going.. got any good leads yet??

The questions needs to be asked.. What are you trying to gain running 2 snorkels?? Its comparative to dual exhausts.

One 4" pipe is way better and greater volume than 2 2.5" snorkels.. Would look funny not tough.. Just my opinion

What air con unit are you trying to use? 12V or 24V ?

owww !!! my head hurts. Thanks dude that was informative. So know we know how it works. What can be done to my SD33T to make it more efficient adn produce more power I have a straight through exhaust. working on 3" inlet and intercooler. Does my turbo have an external wastegate? where can I get...

A little bit of knowledge required here. I have a 1986 Mk patrol 3.3L Turbo and its not a bad bus. does what I need it to. Working on hooking an intecooler up at the moment.. But... What's all this talk about wastegates?? apparently changing this wastegate thing gives me more boost? I know more boos...

Howdy .. Thinking about re-arranging the air flow in the Mk to give a bit more power and cooler running.. all comments welcome.. Currently running a AIR FLOW snorkel with a long arm into the standard air filter then into top of motor (or wherever that goes) I think there is a more effecient way, but...

The missus and I will almost definately be there.. trying to con a few mates from work into coming... Sounds like it will be fun.. I also will be having a short drive... It's nice to have an event down this way...

Might be out of place here but.... I have a sd33T that I would like to run a top mount intercooler on.. Just alittle standard supra or soarer one 250 x280 x70 or simular.. is this a good idea... How do I mount the thing and does anyone know where I can get one... Ebay has nothing this small???

Hi all, sorry had CPU probs.. I'll try to answer you all... Germo...Lol yeah I wish i could.. unfortunately my missus is very smart and is just one of the boys when it comes to $$$ she knows what stuff costs.. and then wants it cheaper... nice thought though SPAM... If you want to be constructive an...

Ok last job... Get these puppies on the car, take some final measurements and start doing the indian rain dance... Fitment of the rubber wasn't too hard with one exception.. One of the bolts that stops the splay of the leaves was sticking out of the nut and hitting the wheel in full lock.. No drama ...

Ok time for some cool rubber and some rims.... We looked around and read lots of posts here and decide for the following..... PIRELLI SCORPION 2000 MUDDIES 30 x 9.5 x 15 $165 ea F150 rims $64 ea Conservative by some standards but it will do the job and not stress the car so it was an attractive solu...

Time to work on those saggy springs... as the car was owned by an old man (no he didn't have an emu) and we figured we just took out the original shocks.. That a 2 inch spring lift should make plenty of room to run a nice lil' set of muddies.....We got lazy here and just took the car in to get done....

Time to start work... First Job.. lets get some nice new shocks.. We shopped around and decide to go for TJM XGS shocks as the shock travel was very good and the price was nice !! We decided on the following Shocks..TJM XGS Front Shock Specs.. Part Num. GL12639 Style Pin (Top) Eye (Bottom) Specs. 30...

Ok first things first.... Measurements so we can gauge our successes or failures.. Measurements were taken in 4 places and returned the following results... Rear Wheel Flare - Ground = 77cm Front Wheeel Flare - Ground = 75cm Bottom Rear Bar - Ground = 41cm Bottom Bull Bar - Ground = 48cm

Howdy Yall My missus (Belinda) has a Suzuki Sierra 1989 SJ413 Soft Top. We are doing some mods to it and I thought we could post in here for anyone else who might need some info or just so you can read while the coffee's boiling.. Ok the Zook is a 1.3L Petrol 5spd Manual only 66,000 K's and Soft Top...

The missus Zook is just a standard 1.3L SJ413 that we go on little bush trips and the rest of the time is shopping and work trips.. We have changed our tyres to 30 x 10.5 R15 Pirelli Scorpion 2000's I would like to put up a little build post to inform people of the progress.. where would the best po...

Just off the topic slightly my missus has a standard Zook 89' Will we expect any problems running 31 x 10.5 r15 BUCKSHOT. Muddies with only a 2' lift or should we just g0 for a 30' ????

is that an AUTO???? if it is then there is about 60% chance I built the gearbox.. Glad to see one on the site.. good luck and happy 4x4ing

Hi guys.. no WANTED section so I gotta do it this way.. My drag link on the MK Wagon (1986) is bowed up.. (probably a miss-adventure the previous owner had) Anyway when I travel over 70kph the wheel shudders and when braking hard, also the car always tend to veer left due to what I figure is a 'SHOR...
