Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anyone know where to get a good balance done on some heavy 35's in Sydney? I just had a new set balanced again, taken off the balancer and put straight back on and got different weights by up to 140g. Spent nearly 3 hours there trying to work it out, balanced on cones and on fingers with the same ...

You can't !
sorry, been there.

bucket loads of rain down there (i.e. torrential) over the weekend, hopefully that will stay in the ground if there's not too much wind and keep the dust down.

$20/adult for a day pass, $40/adult for the weekend, under 17 free.

this issue is a little different (and its a 1hdt pump)... it idles at 650 and the next second its at 400, next second its back up at 800, and sometimes if you leave it idleing on a hill, the revs will start decreasing until it shuts down (and there is plenty smoke btw) This was an issue with the ...

back on the first page again.

Only a week and a half to go..............................

While I would like more power, I dont want to sacrifice reliability(not too much anyway) ;) Simplest way for you is a Safari front mount intercooler & a 3" exhaust (Beaudesert or similar). All bolt on, then have it tuned properly and you should see gains of at least 30-35%. I went this way (or very ...

You might find they scrub on the front guards as well, at the top under full compression, and on the bolt head at the bottom front inner guard. I needed a body lift to stop them cracking the join at the top of the inner and outer guards as the tyres weree always hitting fully compressed. With a 2 ...

Yep, it will show different results, but for comparison, all runs were done in the same gear. Dak Dak, can you qualify that you can adjust timing with the DP chip ? D-Tronic chips are adjustable as well, as with most, you just need the software. That article also talks about signal input, and I'm ...

yes, to suit vehicle "modifications", not different vehicles.
Ring them, I did.

Well worth doing & I'vehad no complaints with any I've sold
Cheers Dan

Nope, you can take it off a Navara and put it on a 100 series with no changes - ask them.

Did you wanna share a video with us .. ( end of hijack ! )

I would if I could, I don't have a video camera. Here's the dyno, green is before, red is after:

yota lsd's wear out that quick that it wouldn't be worth the effort.

I should add, the D-Tronic is far superior to the DP chip, as it is engine specific, not a generic "one size fits all" like the DP is.

different width, but I don't know by how much.

Also "Plastix" at Arncliffe, who are perspex suppliers, cutters etc.

If you want real power, go for the Safari "high output" system. I got a 50% increase atw on an '06TD auto, and can break traction on both front tyres off the mark in the dry, and all four in the wet. Works out at about 187kW & 585Nm.

Yeehaaa..........

The TLCC Willowglen 4x4 Challenge is an exciting 4WD event to be held on the October Long Weekend (29th and 30th September 2007) This year’s Challenge will see teams of vehicles competing from various registered 4WD Clubs from NSW & ACT. There will be competition stages designed to suit both comp ...

Richard, I don't know if Macquarie do the same as ATS with the bash plate.

Smithie, I once fitted a 1HDT into my old 60 series. I found that the engine starved of fuel in mid revs under really hard acceleration, mainly up short steep hills,, and that was mostly fixed by fitting 12mm fuel lines, and using the original 6mm line as the return. I later put a Walbro on which ...

I've just had the ATS kit added. For the first week it had no bar work on the car, so while it was a little firm, it still rode quite smooth and controlled, and not as bumpy as OEM. Last night I took it for a run again, but I'd just spent a couple of days fitting front and rear bars, battery ...

good !
quiet, powerful, economical.

Too heavy a spring for the load. Medium load (constant) would be rear bar and drawers in the back, all the time, which would see the hanger sitting correctly and not vertically. The spring arch will drop a little over time too.
Fit the new shackles, problem solved.

it has lots of calcium in it to help the dodgy factory big end bearings in toyotas. if, however, your engine was built with good aftermarket main and big end bearings (ACL are probably the best), then you can use any quality diesel oil. DD The calcium doesn't help the bearings, it's a cleaning ...

how does mud affect the longevity of the synthetic ? Does it slowly wear away the fibres ?

turbo is good for around 15psi AFAIK Only if you want the turbo to start shedding blades !!! 13 psi MAXIMUM for the DT turbo. G'day Truka, Don't know about the holley pump, would have to check the flow rates to make sure it will deliver the right amount of fuel. I've just sold my 60 with a 1HDT in ...

I've had 3 sets of lightforce 240 Blitz, 1st ones were pinched, the second set were replaced under warranty because thereflector was pitting, the third I just sold as the reflector was pitting. They are an awsome light in terms of output and weight, but I doubt their longevity and am looking at ...

my 60 with 35's was exactly 10 % out according to the GPS and the distance markers. The 60's speedo and odo are pretty much spot on for 750/16's which area a 32" tyre, so 32 + 10% = 35.2, close enough. Get yourself a 10% box from Marks or similar (although Marks will tell you you need a 16% box ...

G'day fnq, I had a Sprintex on my 60 (2H) for many years and then put it on an 80 (1HZ) Unfortunately I've thrown all the maintanence stuff out but this is what I can remember. The grease nipple at the back should also have a small plunger type fitting nearby. When you add the grease, stop when the ...

I tried it once as abit of an experiment to see what difference it would make. One big hill (bulli pass) and they came straight back off. The little electric motors are no match for a big petrol/diesel engine. (sorry to ruin you sale dowser, I've got some lying around too ! )
