Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I assumed that would be the case but I know that in some models of vehicle there can be a subtle difference etc so thought it prudent to check.

Cheers

Hi all,

Stupid question, are TB42 injected heads the same as TB42 carbie heads ? If so can I silmply swap a whole TB42 carbi engine in for an injected one and whack the injection set up on it? Has anyone done this conversion before?

Cheers.

Had my mates MQ SD33 Naturally Aspirated with extractors and exhaust with 5 speed fitted off the clock on 31's on the way back from getting the run around on buying another truck... they rev out to a bit over 41-4300 RPM - well the 30 something diesel patrols I have had did anyway.....

Cheers to both of you.

PS - love the avitar Pongo - Commander Keen probably a bit oo old school for some on here eh?

Oh - and I havepriced a supercharger that I am going to look at putting on her too...

Ok - does anyone know if the mounting points are the same for the MQ Ute tray and the GQ Ute tray? As in will a GQ tray bolt directly to an MQ?

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers!

There are actually 3 plates underneath even on the shorty, one under transfer brake, one further forward and a triangular one mounted on tube to help sump etc out. I made a chequrre plate one that folloed contoure of chassis rails for about $100 and used original mounting points for all but 2 bolts.

why doesnt he just 2" suspension and 2" body lift it, maby some extended shackles, and drive that around for a bit?

does he realy need a spring over?

For the $$ of all that , you could almost do a SOA except for the steering and the rear tailshaft.

BUt maybe wise to learn the hard way, might ...

You can get em - I had the Marks adaptor on mine but there is a mob in WA that prooduces em new still - about $960 new still but.

Mk

P40 and SD33 share same bell housing pattern so its an easy transfer if I recall right.

I have had sheet purspex cut to shape and used clark rubber rubber n a bit of sealant before - worked out just fine for me....

I got loads of rear slidin windows sfor shorties in perfect nich but it seems the LWB is harder to get these days - they did come out with solid rears and its an easy swap ...

D'oh! This thread is so not what I thought it was going to be about ;-(

He he he - Sorry - couldn't resist.

Mk

Jeff - I hope all the posts people have put up have helped inflate that ego of yours a bit more, not sure if there is room in the garage for your ego AND the envy machine.

You know damn well people wanna see this stuff ;)

Having been and seen the truck on the weekend I can vouch that his old ...

GQ steering wheel and column spline count different to MK/MQ.
I had a subaru one in the last 5 patrols I had - beautiful wheel.

Still got one spare for sale too. Boss kit and wheel.

Mk

I got new 37 inch claws on 2 inch body lift and 2 inch spring lift - my SOa patrol ran 36's easy as, I was going to go 38's with guard trim.

I am insured on 38's!



Mk

Nah - not for me.... I was looking at this on ebay but I am a bit patrol'd out ATM.

Besides I can't fit in cab of ute - hence chop on mine.

Mk

Didn' break my leg when chassis, motor n box fell on it... left a nice scar but didn't break.

I would say 250-300kg.

Mk

Divide the 37 by the 8 = 4.625

Your right!m (none of this counting teeth crap.

Mk

I love the fact that Nissan has kept the H260 rear in its utes from the G60 all the way into the GU.... nearly 40 years of essentially the same diff.

Oh - and I have personally seen the H260 as factory fitment to the Wagon in some instances, usually when running a P40 motor.

Mk

Brilliant! Found him! Thanks for all ya help fellah's!

I don't know his name - thats what I am hoping to find out - I think it might of been GQTRBO though so shot him a PM.

Still hoping.....

Mk

Alas no - Sorry - should specify - these are 37x16x13.5 and there are 5 of em.... tried search too but to no avail.

Thanks though Fatz....

Mk

Ok - this may sound a little stupid but bear with me.

There was a guy advertising a set of pro comp 37 inch Xterrains on here a bit over a month ago in the tires and wheels section and I lost his number, I can't remember his name either but know he was in melbourne. I also know he competed offroad ...

Ooops. Go back and get your quarter mile times boys. :finger:



I thought we are talking about 4x4's here not quarter mile drag cars??

:roll:

All good but - everyones opinion is valued and ervyone has their own ideas.... plus I learnt something - something to rub in holden fans faces ...

If you pay $400 for a 5 litre v8 (believable for a flogged out 253 maybe, but not any 308 in good nick). Unless you win the lottery, it'll be completely rooted for that price, so factor in a rebuild. And a few more hundred each to get a decent carby, extractors, radiator and thermo fans, etc etc ...

Ok - As has been said by Screwy and others - check the search function - much easier.

V8 is cheap option..... pick up adaptor kit off Ebay for about $200 and a V8 motor from wreckers/smashed car(can usually sell other parts off from wreck to offset initial cost) and make some engine mounts easy ...

Hang on - so you fixed your excessive fuel consumption problems then???

Ummmm not QUITE that simple mate..... I got a quote of around $1600 for a hi flowed turbo rebuilt but no idea on cost to do initially....

I noticed you seem to want to make the patrol go better/faster all the time as opposed to working on suspension etc (nothing wrong with that) with all the money ...

Ok - many of ther TD patrols I have seen/heard and owned have had same issue - its manifold leak - good way to fix was copper gasket sealant hey - fixed it good n strong.

My 3 inch zorst cost me 270 with all mandrels, and went of dump of turbo, no mufflers (turbo quiet enough without muffler.)

Would you drive a new 427 Cui comodore to the max power mark each time thru the city? Course not. You don't shift at max power or torque, you don't drive a diesel that way, they don't rev hard and are not meant to.... why else is redline on a 6 that of a ...
