Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hows this:

After driving OlBetsy for two years now, I'm lovin the diesel, and its working good. But we are thinking about a bigger trailer (caravan?) and the little 2500cc oil burner is not gonna cut it. Need moorrrrreee powerrrrrr....

We never got either diesel here, so I only have experience with mine that ...

There are two belts: timing belt, plus balance belt... while you're in there, I'd do tensioners (2) and check those oil seals for leakage. Water pump would also be a good idea, as well as accessory belts. Cost me about $400 for the parts, but I did it myself. And my money is different from yours ...

Heya Vic! You better come north of the border if you get stateside some day, and come and see me and OlBetsy!

(I read somewhere you got your Missus an Outlander? We got one for the missus too! :D )

Sorry Fervit: </End hijack...>

If your 3.0L turns 462s in the diffs, I think what you gain in ...

All the OE yellow ones I've seen were made by Cibie, FWIW...

Phil email me I have good news for you I had to do some wheelin & deelin though !!!

Email sent Vic buddy!

Phil, you will need the input gear.
This is the gear that mates to the output shaft on your transmission.
The auto input gear is 23 spline and about 5mm longer than the manual 24 spline version.
I'll check with Mark to see if he has any input gears lying around and let you know.
We could do a ...

Frank, Doug or others....

The gears Doug removed all those months ago are still not installed in a rig, and I got to thinking.... if my buddy is not gonna put em in my old rig, wonder if I would buy them off him and put em in my lil oil burner.... but if I am to understand, Dougie's t-case gears ...

Just wanted to update an old thread... a year later (by the time it was imported) I got the truck, and have now been driving it a almost another year. Love it!

Holy crap Vic! Were you the only one onboard at the time? Good gracious! Glad you're okay. Shame about the Jabber, but at least you can say you're "upgrading" to the 3.5, right? Hard way to go about it though.. :?

How in hell did you think about the ignition mid-roll...? :shock: This one's pretty ...

From memory the pics showed the speedo on 100kph and the taco showing aprox. 2200 rpm



Interesting stuff here... agreed on the corporate look of the diamante... I liked those days too... :cry:

Anyway back ontopic, 33s also brought my revs down, but I do almost 200kms per day in my commute so ...

Thanks lads!

(this was today )


Okay, back to your suntanning!

Hey Klevro...any more pics/info for those roof bars? D Are they through-bolted or do they hook into something under the black gutters that go the length of the paj? I've been looking for an alternative to drilling my ...

One more thing to think about, re: stick vs auto:

My 5sp with 33s and 4.88 diffs runs about 3050rpm at 110kmh, whereas I'm told the auto on 31s does it a little lower. If you do a lot of highway, this could be a factor for you, since you want the rpms lower if possible...

But I would def hold out ...

Well guys, I had the 1990 turbo-diesel Exceed model checked out at a JDM-specialty shop, and it's gonna cost a small fortune to get it 100%. Needs: all balljoints, all tie-rod ends, 4 shocks, 4 tires, front calipers, rear rotors, timing belt/water pump/gaskets, some hoses are cracking, and all ...

Here's something else to consider, given that you are in Canada:

In Canada we never ever got the 2.5tdi in any rig that was imported. Whereas the 3.0v6 was in plenty of Dodges, in various configurations (Mitsu never actually got officially imported into Canada till 2003).

Having said that, I had ...

Vic, don't take this the wrong way, but your arse end is looking good buddy! Nice work!

Onya Phil, a Gen 2 is miles ahead of a Gen 1 in terms of performance and confort (and of course looks).
I'm glad your happy with it after the long wait.
What mods are you planning ?

Well Vic, as you probably read on the wire, the plan from the beginning with this one was to again have a 4x4 for ...

Had her for a few weeks now. Likin' the diesel so far, pulls our trailer up hills in 5th that my tired old V6 woulda been down to 3rd on. And this is with 33s!

So far I've put 33s on it, Safari snorkel, improved the tunes, put a CB in the second DIN slot, and of course yarded off the running boards ...

Thanks boys! Sounds like my revs will be exactly where i want them at our highway speeds, ~120kph... Might even improve fuel economy with the new bigger tires! How can the wife argue with that one! :twisted:

Now the question is, how will the "power" be (said tongue in cheek, since I'm told 2.5's ...

Here's my new rig: Haven't gotten her yet, should have her in another week or so. Yes Vic, she's Betsy number four!

After an extended absence, I am ready to get back to 4x4ing. Sold my genI LWB last summer, so we could clear some bills, build a house, and then import a JDM Pajero in the spring. Finally, the time has come: house is two months away from moving in, got the wifey a new Lancer, and my Paj is winding ...

Bear in mind that I did this 6 years ago, when I didn't have a clue what I was doing... not that I do now...

I got them all at the same time and payed around $550 for the lot. I think I gained a bit over two inches after it settled. I did have to put a small spring spacer under the drivers side due to the weight of all my unused recovery gear. The Nissan drivers in Tassie believe that if a Nissan recovers ...

id hope not

R&P shouldn't matter. You can just bolt your own on there... make sure that its the 6bolt flange model from the 88 or 89 Starion.

I'm sure you checked this, but with the philosophy of simple things first, wheels out of balance/broken tire belt/bent rim?

Getting back to the cheep spring thing, I have done what was sugested on the Americam 4xwire sit re latter model Paj springs (I used 1996) in my Gen1 and got 2" lift SWB, if what you read in the forum is correct re coil spacers from the GQ you should be able to get the same lift for your LWB and on ...

FrankyZ, you out there? "Bits is Missin"!

It's not saying anyting about rear locker.
However this sheett says rust under body, undr battery tray and so on.
Obviously the previous owner(s) was smaoker and has burnt mark and so on.

Thanks. That was just an example of what I have to work with. But I still don't really know what the VIN or ...
