Outer Limits 4x4 Board

do you have a link to the 6 port solenoid?

Sounds just like what I need.

Cheers

Here's an Aussie seller on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Pollak-6-Port-Valve-Biodiesel-WVO-SVO-solenoid_W0QQitemZ190321720665QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090716?IMSfp=TL090716144001r2277

'Pollak' is the brand name. If you ...

I decided to go with the 6-port valve setup. I reckon the other set up is just as much stuffing around and cost for a solution that is only half as good.

Thanks for the replies!

Does anyone know how well the standard in-tank pumps flow? By the size of the pump I'd imagine it would take half a day to transfer the fuel :).

I imagine I could somehow tap into the fuel senders and have the pump run continuously as long as the main tank is not full and ...

Hi All,
I've bought a 2nd hand sub-tank to add to my GQ diesel. From what I have read elsewhere these sub-tanks are usually set up to be siphoned by the main tank. The tank came out of a petrol truck and has a fuel tank sender fitted with an in tank electric pump.

Does anyone know how I plumb the ...

Hi All,
From looking at the wiring diagram for my 1991 GQ there seems to be an orange wire that goes from the speedo to the diff-lock. My guess is that this is sending a pulse so that the diff-lock knows how fast you are going. Does anyone know what voltage this pulse is?

Thanks,
David

Hi,
I have a problem with the electric window system in my GQ. The driver's window works fine, but all other windows only work intermittently. I have checked the window switches with a multimeter and everything seems to be fine. The motors on the other windows work fine if I power them directly ...

i have the same problem but overcome it by only using caltex diesel

You'll have to join the patrol group at
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Nissan_GQ_Patrol/ and then do a search for fuel pump leak.

Thanks all for the replies.

Is it necessary to remove the intake manifold to undo the top plate screws?

I found Nathan's write up on the patrol list about how he went about changing the seal and besides a few tricks it seems like a relatively easy job.

Hi,
The fuel pump on my TD42 is leaking around the top plate seal. I know this is a common problem with the introduction of low sulfur fuel. The truck has 190,000km on the clock and there are no other problems evident with the fuel system so I don't want to do a full pump rebuild.

Who has had their ...

What type of steel (diameter, thickness, etc) is best to use for sliders?

Thanks guys,
I will try some of the waterproof grease and also check the other areas mentioned.

Hi All,
I have just finished fitting a snorkel to my 1991 GQ diesel. I have removed the pre-cleaner and replaced it with PVC piping and silicon-rubber hoses.

To test the snorkel I placed a sheet of newspaper over the snorkel grill. (I'm not sure this is the brightest idea let me know if it's not) I ...

But yes i am going off the temp gauge
I have thought about fitting an aftermarket temp gauge
Any idea what the rad reading should be on a 4.2t at idle?
All replys are appreciated

I think the thermostat opens at 76 degrees.

any info on why a aftermarket switzer turbo 4.2 would run cold.
It usually runs at about the lower end of the temp gauge.
It didnt allways run this way it was usually at the half way mark but since fitting a heat exchanger for a shower it has dramatically droped it
If removing the heat ...

I like my 285/75R16 Silverstone MT117 Sports. They stay clean when the MTRs look like slicks. @ $240 they are good value too.

I'm sure that I heard somewhere that the VAFWDC is trying to implement a ratings system with parks whereby some tracks would be marked in a fashion similar to ski-runs. You would have green tracks, blue tracks and black tracks. I think they may be implementing this soon.

The idea is that then ...

Just FYI,

That site asks you to wait 30 seconds and click yes for full access to the site- that will install gator on your system (spyware). Just wait for the page to load and close the popup window that appears.

Didn't notice that. I use Firefox and Privoxy so I never get ...

Its has 41 x 13 inch tyres from the factory too

Anyone seen one of these before:

They look tough, tougher then a H1 to me.

From what I've been reading the best 60/55w bulbs are the Osram or Phillips +50% bulbs.

Opposite Lock were about 20% more expensive

Thanks p76.

Does anyone know who stocks these in Australia and what price they go for? I can only find the Japanese price at about $120. I'm looking for some to suit a GQ.

They wouldn't have gone so well last Saturday on Two Scouts Track in Gembrook after 160mm of rain. My mates 33x12.50 MTRs looked like slicks while my 285/75R16 Silverstones were clean. Both of us were running 19psi.
had no issues up high country where we had snow, sleet, hail and pissing down rain ...

The MTR/R is a awesome tyre, but really does not cut it in victorian mud.
Really?? ***** I better throw mine in the bin, they have done heaps of trips up Gembrook, Toolangi, high country snow trips and inc a night trip with pricks from here , they took me everywhere that dudes went on swampers ...

I checked with one of the ebay sellers and apparently the headlights are not "E" marked. I imagine that "E" markings are required for road-worthiness?
Ask the seller what E means...?
The E markings are there to state that the lights meet the european standards. I'm pretty sure your narva ...

Have a look for free-form reflectors on m

"As there is no stray light emitted from a free-form reflector, expect illuminated areas to exceed that provided by conventional parabolic designs by 30%."

I'm starting to think that this is what the "crystallised" lamps sold on ebay are m but don't ...

Found out on weekend that 90w low beam for few hrs, + 0degrees water = shattered H4 glass :(

Anyone bought any recently? $?

Autobarn have a Narva conversion kit (2x housings, 2 x bulbs) for $99.

I'm after something similar myself. Ultimately I'm after some free-form housings (clear glass ...
