Outer Limits 4x4 Board

GUtripper,

in regards to upgrading gu brakes bu fitting the 4.8 patrol pads to the diesels, ive just had a look at the bendix website and they list the same part number for both, can you shed any more info on this?

we kept bending the gq crossmember in our comp truck so we removed it all together, made up a new crossmember the mounts with gq control arm bushes to the rails, on the driver side the mount goes up and over the tail shaft, i dont have any pics im sorry, imagine a mount shaped like this > o--v^o ...

thanks for the reply guys, i git the manuals out and it doesnt look too bad, will try find some time to fit em.

hey, been ages since i posted, but im looking for a set of installation instructions for marks 85% transfer gears to suit GQ/GU,

i bought a second hand case and i need to swap them out of one and into another.

if possible emailing them to me would be great shawn_waid at hotmail.com

Justa note to the organizers, the Black Dog 4wd club
Competed last year, just wondering if we could get the entry forms as we hVnt seen any yet,
Best email would be shawn_waid@hotmail.com

Thanks guys

Can anyone tell me what phone reception is like out there. Ill assume none, its just that the missus is heading up saturday morning.

Also what is the entry track like into the camp ground?

cant wait for this again, will be another awesome event,

we fitted a HP rear to my sisters TD42T shorty about 6 months ago, we fitted a new filler point in the diff housing and its worked a treat thou i do think it now holds somewhere around 8L of oil, we run 3.9 gears in it, with 33" tires, its proven to be great so far. We had the lsd tightened at the ...

i discussed this with an engineer years ago cause i wanted to do a coil conversion and thought it was the easy way. problem one is the wheel base lengths are different. engine mounts are different. now in sydney to do a full chassis swap i was told that i had to update the cab to meet the ADR's of ...

we tried fitting gear box cross member spacers, which helped a touch, we then fitted adjustable upper arms, which helped a bit more,

we finaly fixed it by fitting a hi pinion rear diff, now no dramas what so ever,

is your shorty lifted? if so, we had the same problem with my sisters shorty, turned out to be actually coming from the rear drive shaft,

in saying that, theres nothing sayin that you dont have wheel bearing problems, or something else

there should be a label in the engine bay somewhere that quotes how much its meant to take, i know my VX has it, i think it was somewhere around 800ish grams or something,

id have to check again to be sure,

its been a while and i just remembered about this thread, i ended up picking oneup the other day, i got it from Burson's, they retail for $45, not i managed to get it for $30, its a Tridon branded thermostat, now, upon looking at the part number is: TT2028-170----Thermostat (High Flow)-----1/10/2001 ...

i agree DRS the only thing on our truck no legal is the cage and the 37's, everything else is on the engineers report and listed with the RTA,

bring on next year cant wait no matter what the rules are,

That's the main reason I'm lookin to see if anyone else has used it, I know it could do more harm than good and I don't wanna risk it cause the next drive will be towing the comp truck to orange, so all help appreciated

Hey all, with the weather warming up it's time to flush the cooling system so everything is happy, now I've decidedto replace the thermostat but the parts place has an option of standard or high flow, has anybody used the high flow version, if so what did you find, also anyone have pros and cons of ...

thanks for the response guys, will get something sorted

hey guys,

Steve i think this fellow is talking about the RB30 patrol with is GQ, and im 99% sure that all the GQ radiator support pannels are the same,

looking to knock up some control arm rings, but cant seem to find any specs, what is the ID of the nissan control ends (section the bush is pressed into)

also what is the od of the genuine nissan bush - i have to order these, so cant measure one at the moment,

all help appreciated,

when i turbo'd my gq, i had the cast air filter shousing that sits over the motor, i removed it an fitted a zd30 filter box, fits between the head light and duel battry tray, i did find in mine it was tight with the ARB tray, so i moved the tray rearwards 50mm, this included reshaping the inner ...

i know there is a difference between gu wagon sway bars, the earlyer swaybars were like 16mm, and the later were about 18mm i think, i had a sway prob when i was getting engineered,wasnt till i compared them i found the difference, just for your info the 98 gu had the 16mm, and my 02 had the 18mm ...

i run the injected 5 litre and i still run the front drop sump, it has about the same clearance, and havnt hit it, seems to be sweet,

thats right on the TB42 you can face it either way, i had one and ran it forwards no dramas,

Does your computer have a constan power source,

when we put a vs v8 into my patrol, we missed one wire, and that was the constasnt power for the computer, without it, we had no injector pulse

that have a 147L that sits in the original spot then also goes up and over the tail shaft, it suits the leaf spting and cab chassis, so you might need to call em and check,
