Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There are quite a few systems out there on the market, I reckon it all comes down to how much yer got in the pocket to spend. I use a Rotronics system, fully automatic.....set and forget. Had it in the Mav for 8 years now and has never failed. Charges main battery at start-up--switches to auxillary ...

Al is simple if you take a good look at it. Diffs - drain at bottom and fill thru the filler plug. G/Box - same deal exit plug at side of the box and filler same side halfway up Transfer - same - drain bottom - filler plug opposite side half up In all cases fill until the oil come out the filler ...

I made one from a piece of 4" stainless tube, welded in some ends & a 25mm bsp toe nipple for filler (the original cap fits perfect). Then a bit of stainless angle to bolt to the inner guard. The second battery still fits and it will never crack or melt.
If anyone wants pics just drop me a line.

I just stick a bunch of rag under the filters when removing them. Not much mess to clean up after.

Definately wont be a timing chain tensioner!!

They dont have a timing chain!!!

The front of the motor is all geared driven....like a swiss watch!!!!

( have a set of extractors forsale ... $300 if ya want them
they're off a tb42 .. but im pretty sure they fit td42 as well)

I was planning on doing the whole system from new

Thanks anyway Hoonz

Yer! I would get it turboed only I havn`t got the $$$$ for it. As some have said I know extractors wont make it go rocket style, but it will hold rev range better on hills. This is where it would count for me, and yep I know a turbo would do it better.
Thanks for the ifo people.

Hoping anyone could give me a lead as to brands of extractors that would fit onto my '92 Maverick 4.2 diesel. What size exhaust system would be OK to use with extractors...........I was thinking 2-1/2" and a flow thru muffler. Any info back would be absolutly helpful.

Bloke I Know has a 2001 model 4.2TD and it has direct injection. It has electronic gadgetry all over the shop as well. He bought it new, I could only believe this is the norm across the GU range. Nissan have a Knack for changing things on models from 1 month to the next. I have a November '92 ...

Gregory's No512 Manual only covers GQ 4.2 Diesel 88 to 97. This is no good for GU 4.2 Diesel. GQ indirect injection - GU direct injection and a shit load of electronics.
They are similar but not the same!!!!

Gregory's - Book number 512 - Patrol/Maverick Diesel Engines 1988-1997
Timing is Swiss Watch - No belt or chain

Ah! Now that brings another question. How do you tell if you have a series I or a series II. My Mav is a November 92 model.
As for oil use I checked a site at Nissan and they have recomended the use of ATF in transfer cases across all GQ models.
Thankyou for the info on the seal.

I had that thought and if that be the case "Is there a seal between them that could be a problem?" When I first changed the oil 5000k ago it was a dark colour then and I think it was oil the same as the gearbox. I changed to Dexron II because I seen it mentioned on this site. Perhaps it could also ...

If anyone could tell me some info on transfer case oil for a TD42 Mav. I put new oil (Dexron II) in about 5000k ago and decided to check it. Instead of a red colour it was dark and blackish. Is this normal? Should I be using something else besides Dexron II? Does the gearbox oil flow into the ...

Dunno 'bout you blokes, but I got a Nisord Patrick. Still a bloody good truck either badge.

Yep
Sounds like the Auto hubs are about to let go.
A set of free wheelers is wot yer need.
AVM, WARN,.........try all 4x4 Kotara (Newcastle) get a bewdy tough set for $240

They are all NISSORD PATRICK!!!!!!! I got a '92 XLT TD4.2 LWB and if looking at Nissan equivalent = TI at factory level with a few little extras on the ford..... like CAV filtration attached inline fuel and a protector plate on the chasis rails under the gearbox. The console is shorter in the Mav ...

A lot will depend on:- Oil / Type / Viscosity Rating I run FUCHS Titan 33 15w-40 medium gl4 in a TD42 The OME gauge is a fairly erratic device in the GQ/MAV I fitted a vdo gauge with oil line. Reads: - 56 PSI cold 45 to 49 PSI at run temp 32 to 35 at idle hot Any thing below 15 PSI is serious ...

Using FUCHS 33 titan 15w40 in a TD42. Had the oil sender pack it in newy cost $119 genuine with drain. Pressure runs at 4 and 2 at idle, according to the manual this is the norm

Had a G60 in the 70's. They are built like a brick S@#$House under the rusty body. Austin truck diffs and a 4L donk also from the Austin truck years. 2" diametre axles. 3 speed crashbox no synchro in 1st. Only drivetrain weakness was the clutches. I did hundreds of thousands of miles in these trucks ...

Bro Inlaw has a 2.8 TD and uses it to tow a float & 2 horses with all the gear regularly on weekends. All up towing weight 2.82 Tonnes - 150 KG on the tow ball. He reckons it goes OK, uphill is a bit slow. He's done over 200,00 clicks and hasn't replaced or broken anything as yet. I have a TD4.2 ...
