Outer Limits 4x4 Board

10k will come close for my conversion and that is doing all the work myself. The fresh 355 EFI I am useing is costing me 7k but thats for a 300hp engine with a small duration cam to maximize torque from idle and a heavier flywheel. I am not building the engine, a race shop is doing that. But other ...

Ok SW1 where are you going to save big dollars by not not purchasing everything through Marks, the bits from Marks are only 30% of the total cost and like I said you could probably save a couple of hundred there but I don't believe the hasle is worth it. This truck will be the 4th vehicle we have ...

I have sent an email; to arb asking if they can provide the specs for all the LTR shocks ie compressed and extended lengths, if they get the information to me I will post it.

You are correct you could probably reduce the cost by a few hundred maybe evn a grand but the thing I like about Marks is if you buy everything from them they give great support if you run into any problems and it all goes together well. I forgot about the clutch I will use a cetreforce dual ...

I should start within the next couple of months, after doing a couple of buildups in the past I have learn't it is best if possible to aquire all the parts first as much as possible before starting. I spoke to Marks and all the bit and pieces to do the 5lt VT EFI conversion into a GQ Patrol are ...

Thanks guys I will keep my eye's out for a 5L VT with loom and ecu. Now I am of to the Marks Adapters site to price up everything else I need.

Can anybody tell me what Holden model V8 I should be looking for manafactured after 1992 (VN VT) as I want to keep my mav running on Petrol, would like efi 5L. I am clueless to Holden vehicles

Sorry for the stupid question but who are 3rds productions? are the billet control arms similar to the radius arms sold by snake racing to fix caster? do they have a web site?

thanx

After much thought and research I am going to save the extra money and buy the snake racing drop radius arms. They seem very pricey but will no doubt work out cheaper than mucking around with cheaper solution then going this way in the end. I to have a SWB. Just the parts alone and doing all the ...

I don't mind if it's rooky's or touring, just don't want to get smashed by all you experienced guys first time.

Thanks for that, 3.2.5 Differentials states that diff ratio's are free. Is this correct, can you change your diff gears? Did you run in the touring class and if do how did you find it, I am thinking of setting up my SWB Mav to run in this class next year, will they have a touring class in the Alpine ...

Does anybody know where I can get a hold of the Touring class regulations for the OBC?

How can I find out where the spectator areas are located as I live on the GC and would love to go and watch. Also anybody know when and where the Gold Coast 4WD club meets and is it ok to just turn up to apply for membership. thanx

No No No, Ignorance or misinformation is no defence, if you break a federal law which I am told tyre size is it does not matter what your engineer or Vic roads have said, you have still broken a federal law that has cuased a death in the opinion of expert advice. All it means is their is more people ...

Bazzle, are the standard LT shocks LTR and the Comp shocks LTL or have I got it wrong? Is it possible to get a LT shock suitable for a 4" lift coil on a SWB GQ?

Even if the engineer passes it and it involves federal legislation it will not protect you from litigation. The most likely course of this becoming a large issue is if you are involved in an accident and someone dies and a coronel enquiry is held. If the enquiry finds that the accident was cuased in ...

The longest LTR's they have are only good for 50mm lift and I was quoted $404.00 each. I don't know if they have longer LTR's for say a cruser that could be used on a higher lift but am trying to find out. Why are OME going to replace your rancho's, I dint think ARB sold Rancho.

Are the OME LTR shocks any good? Very pricey but if they are as good as ARB salesman sayes could be good investment.

Sent an email to ARB Gold Coast to ask about the maximum hieght spring lift I could get using OME springs and LTR shocks, to which I got the following reply "THE LEGAL HIGHT YOU CAN LIFT IS 50MM TOTAL WITH OME SUSPENSION YOU MAY GET A BIT MORE LIFT DEPENDING ON IF YOUR NISSAN HAS SAGGED OVER TIME ...

Thanks for your great input Jennybubbles. Has anybody used or want to coment on the Snake racing drop radius arms, Are they a good thing?

Thanks for the good info turps

Does anybody know if there are fibreglass panels for SWB GQ. Looking to replace doors, guards and bonnet .If available can someone tell where to call.

Thanks

I live in QLD and live on the Gold Coast. I know people say go with the wizard kit or whoever else but if you look at what each of these manafactures say there kits are all a bit different. Do I need a DC tail shaft, front and rear adjustable panhard bars, adustable rear upper and lower control arms ...

After reading a number of threads on doing a 4 inch lift on a SWB Mav I am getting more and more confused so I am hoping some of you guys who have had a lot more experience than me can set me straight. I want to run 35' Extreme treckers on a SWB Mav while keeping the COG as low as possible so will ...

Has anybody run 35's on a SWB GQ with just a 4 inch suspension lift and no body lift. If so how much cutting of fenders is involved to prevent scrubing on up travel.

I thought of that but I really wanted to have an extra cab type of setup which would be better done with a cut and shut of the existing SWB body.

Can anybody tell me if they know of anywhere in South East Queensland or Northern NSW that has experience converting a SWB Maverick to a tray back? Thanks in advance
