Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys, this cruise control system looks a lot like the one on http://www.goldautomotive.nl/web-content-nl/index.php
Which I've installed in an Feroza. Was an easy job and worked awesome. The most difficult thing was to make a bracket to fit the vacuum actuator in such a way that the cable doesn't ...

Did you brace the 2 shackle plates? This should reduce the sideway movement to almost nothing. By testing leaf spring strenght do you mean determinig the spring rate? In that case a simple way is to put the leaf upside down on a flat surface and put a weight close to the center hole of the spring ...

Yip, Daihatsu made but some where rebadged as Toyota Blizzard to fill a gap in the product line up in the late 70's/early 80's.

The petrol engines are toyota's and bulletproof, but no ponies at all..
The diesel engines are rumored to be close family of the 20/22r series Yota petrol engines ...

with the extended shackles and a little cutting i recon you could fit in 31" or 32" muddies with possibly a little rubbing........ but that just means you have to cut more away :armsup:


The first thing it touches are the springs on full compression and the framerails, so use the right offset ...

Hey Chris that's a diesel engine. But you can use your stock air filter box, cut a little of the long oval air intake behind the summer/winter valve. then you can weld a custom adapter to whatever hose you'll like. make sure uve got all the facory hoses that run to the airbox installed an that the ...

Reviving this old thread :)

I finally sourced an 18rgeu. Unfortunately without inletmanifold and injection. but i was at a good price :armsup:

So I'm now thinking of putting efi from a same size 4banger on it. I don't have anything specific in mind but I'd like it to be a multipoint system ...

hi all
i may be getting a
dishatsue

:shock: WTF :shock:

forgive the hatsu newb.
It'll change for sure when he buys the old girl and he puts his zuck in teh forsal section :lol:

Now for the tech content in this thread ;)

You'll probably noticed I forgot to mention any body issues. Common ...

1 is there any common things i should look out for like chassis cracks or any thing like that


Frame is basically very strong and heavy for a little vehicle like this, but check the tubular crossmember in front of the rear wheels. This is where the fixed springhangers are mounted to and the can ...

Great, found their reply in my mail this morning. Seems they're willing to ship to the Netherlands. Good that these kits come with engine mounts cause I noticed they won't line up'. Haven't really had time to open up the engine since it was one of the few sunny days here (meteorologists here say it ...

The guy I bought the engine from had it laying under his workbench for 2 yrs. It came out of a car in running condition. unfortunately it has no inlet manifold and the dual webers were also sold, so I managed to shake the price down quite a bit. That's really all the info I got on the donk. Time ...

Thanks Troy, You're a champ!

Pics are of great help
Haven't had a reply from dellows yet...
When fabbing one myself, do you have any suggestions how to line up the inputshaft and the flywheel correctly? I can use the flat plate on the back of the engine and the gearbox to determine the boltholes ...

yeah baby!! daihatsu F20's all the way!! :armsup:

does anybody know how to go about figuring out how to make new/custom engine mounts?

Is that for the rover conversion? :armsup:

You first have to determine if the gearbox and tranny stay in the same place. Then put the engine in, supporting it ...

WOOT
Look what I found in the back of the old girl

Piccies are kinda dodgy but the timing cover says 18rg

now trying to source the double webers..........

I used this as a reference and then roughly calculate the cut surface of a bolt. To my knowledge using bolts improperly would only occur when you tighten them beyond the yield strength which causes them to break. I think the type of bolt you mention is stainless steel hardware. But then again, I'm ...

Do it!! Do it!!

By the way:
If anyone wanted a video of a Daihatsu Hijet featured on the TV show "Pimp My Ride", I have it temporarily on my web site here:
http://www.dougfreeze.com/daihatsu/PimpMyRide-DaihatsuHi-Jet.avi
It's really big at about 177 MBs but if you want it, there it is.



Tops! great vid ...

With 12 bolts each side that should be sufficient.

A grade 8 M10 bolt pulls more than 5 tons until it permantly deforms, so 12 each side will do the trick

Cheers

pete,

I don't know if it's useful, but it sure is a nice read.

Very nice Gonzo! It seems you have an eye for bargains. You're gonna get the rear back to the original size, or just cut it off and make a trayback out of it. What about flex, no problems with the tires being cut by the wheelarches.

Groeten,
Ron

BTW, still got that fender flares andwanna part with ...

That's worth waiting for more pics pls.. oh it isn't wednesday yet...

Yeah i've the same problem too.
What i did was just cut the steering stopper as i learned the hard way of destroying 2 sets of front shocks when they bottom out hard.
1 question, there must be a reason for those stoppers to be there. So was wondering can u do untold damage if u kept turning the ...

Depends on how much it has to be raised. Legalities aside, easiest way is longer shackles.

You could use (part of) the original rear spring pack up front. The main leaf is about 10 cm longer, so have them reset at the same height as the rear springs. Do some measurements if this will fit with the ...

Hey Rob.

Is that a Lseries Toyota donk? shouldnt be too big of a hassle though having a complete drivetrain. Engine mounts have to be fabbed. Don't know about the radiator. The DG daihatsu diesel is much heavier than the 12r so they have stiffer springs up front. Maybe you'll have to do that also ...

Deluxe models came with a full carpeted floorpan. Would love to get my hands on these rear seats..

WOW, that thing has more storage space than an airliner

Did you move the handbrake lever or did you build the centerconsole around it?

Nice touch, the spare fender flare in the cupboard. Always good to hav one. Mine are crumbling to pieces

Cheers

We didn't have the Scat over here, ss it just a pickup or probably a mysterious missing link

And the pickup.. and my rig next to my brothers samurai and my dad's heep.

Hey Kent, too bad you guys haven't had the old daihatsus in the states. Wheelbase is a tad under 80" and track 1200 mm just about the size of a cj3b. Samurais have about the same wheelbase but have a wider track. The f20's feel spacier though due to the boxy design, and it also is about 300 kgs ...

The other fellas over here can probably complete this list with rockies and ferozas



Feel free to add :lol:

well excuse me while i get the shoe laces outta my mouth :P
haha, i didn't bother actually READING ur post, i just did a 'CTR-L + F' for F70 and F75 :D

Haha, but now where on the ...
