Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have Marks gears in mine and I think they were a 55% reduction low range and 8% high range... and Love'em

I think they are around $1500

d-lux I am not too sure whether rasing the compression is a wise move. Sure gas loves more comp but when you turbo a petrol engine you need to lower the comp... might be best to look into it further... the last thing you would want is a leg out the side...

As a general rule you use 1.5 times the amount of gas to petrol... i.e if you use 10l/100 petrol then you will use around 15l/100 gas...

You can get either 27 or 30 spline. I would go, and have gone for the 30 spline. Standard is 27 spline.

Wait till the end of the month. Pro Comp are running a special over
November.......BUY 3 GET 1 FREE!

Is this only in Melb or in Syd also? If so where in Sydney?

I am currently fitting a set of Marks reduction gears to my 60 that I got off a mate at a good price and done very low kms, however I have come across a small problem. The gears that he bought were for a transfer that bolts up to an automatic gearbox whereas my transfer bolts up to the manual ...

Thanks guys much appreciated,

Will be ordering a set of longfields this week.

Am looking at purchasing stronger front CV's and wanted to know which of the above are stronger and why as well as your experiences with either.

I am interested in two sets. One for an 80s (1992 mod) and the second for a 60s

Dumbdunce are you sure that is the right ratio? I didn't think cruisers came out with a 4.875:1? or do you mean 3.875:1

Put it this way, it gives my mates 1hd-t 75 series (also with 35's and 4.11's) a good run for his money.

I haven't as yet got ratios but it is on the cards in the next few months. I anticipate that it will make a huge amount of difference both on road performance and off road performance. It's all ...

Jeepers mate I'd be changing mechanics. $3g's to fit the turbo is big money.. hell I'd fit it for that sort of money....

I fitted my turbo, including ...

Top stuff,

that was what I had planned to do to mine (have already fitted the 35's) and am now glad to hear that it will be worth doing it. I have just scored myself a front mount intercooler that is very close to that size although I was thinking of top mounting it with a WRX scoop. More so to ...

Quote:- "Turbo, lotsa boost, lotsa fuel and lotsa intercooler, makes for lotsa power."

Does it really get up and go that well? Do you have dyno specs?

What boost are you running?
What size intercooler are you running? (front mount or top mount)
What is your tyre combination and what ratios in the ...

would love to know how?

Nice setup... thanks for the pics...

Hey Carts have you any photos of the intercooler conversion?


I am at Richmond and would love to see the set up and do it on mine...

how do you know that you have the timing right? I know with a petrol engine you can hear the thing ping however the old 2h's are noisey and it is hard to hear the thing ping (other than its normal rattle)if the timing is too far advanced.

Do you spill time it every time you advance it? I have a 2h ...

It is because the 12H-t is direct injected as opposed to the 2h which has the injectors spraying into a pre-combustion chamber.

I have a 2h turbo that requires rebuilding and was wondering where I can go to identify what turbo it is and then get a rebuild kit to match.

I think it is a garret but there there are no markings on it.

I am in Richmond NSW

I did a chop to mine, took some time but I am pretty happy with it. We cut behind the 'b' pilar on the top and in front of the lower cross member (leaving the cross member in) and fitted a panel that was plasma cutted to shape and put reinforcing across the back of that panel. Initially we had a ...

Quote: "Is there a definite interference between the gearbox and the fuel tank? How is it avoided in the petrol FZJ75?.."

To be honest... not sure. I didn't get a chance over the weekend to measure and have a decenty look. I did quickly look under a 75 and did notice that the fuel tank is close to ...

I have an 80s full time G'box if you are interested that was behind a factory fitted 1Hd-t. We bought the car rolled for other bits and peices...ie suspension and chassis mounts, etc. Didn't need the box so it comes with bell housing, flywheel and clutch assembly (used but ok).

There is also a kit ...

Quote "try just cars they're part of aami but will insure modified vehicles (any legal mods anyway) and they're cheap"

I would have to disagree with this. I have a SOA 60's cruiser which initially cost me $720 to insure but came down to about $600 to insure third party. I recently had conversations ...

A couple of guys around here have had their SOA and coiled cars engineered since June without any problems... As far as I know there hasn't been any changes yet to the rules but there is still talk that the RTA will change but know one seems to know when.... just soon is the answer I keep getting...

I have had a SOA 60 for about 4 years now and never put it on its side.... put some big dents in it though... definatey love it and recommend it but depends if thats what you want....

Check that your centre bold and U bolts are tight...

Quote: "My understanding is that the factory turbo version is not just a turbo bolted on. I think the bottom end (at the very least) is upgraded compared to the naturally aspirated 100.

I'm suprised an aftermarket turbo doesnt feel better than the factory. I always thought Toyota were pretty ...

We did a coil conversion on a mates 75 series with a fabricated 5 link setup on the front. Diffs and rear arms were from a doner 80's which was a stat right off.

The thing is tops in the bush. Flex's really well both front and rear and generally sits quite level in the bush. One downside, we had ...

Heads on a VN V6 commodore are cast and it is rather unusual to crack a head, chances would be a head gasket.

But I could be wrong
