Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'll post a pick later of mine.... Basiclly I drilled out the captive nut closest to the guard just big enough to fit the cable through, drilled 1 hole in the firewall for the bolt to pass through and used a washer on the other side where the cable used to run. then I just removed the accelarator ...

Hi all, I just got the shock of my life by getting quoted $664.61 for a greenslip on my YN65 hilux :( I'm 29 years old with no at fault accidents, the car will be garaged, but i think it's total Bulls*#t for that much for a bloody greenslip!!! So just out of curiosity I was wondering what you guys ...

If you don't change the booster but use a larger m/cyl, you will end up with a rock hard pedal. By the way, THAT IS A 80 SERIES M/CYL!!!!! :finger: And that little sales pitch they give works the other way too.... If you change the Master Cylinder without increasing the size of your calipper pistons ...

Yeah mate, but as you can see I used the 80 series master cyl (25.4mm bore) instead of the Hilux V6 one (23.81mm). Only reason I did this is cause I didn't find as much info on using the late hilux m/cyl. Trust me mate, I couldn't ask for better brakes in my hilux!! Everyone said that the brakes ...

Mate, I just went through this with my yn65... have a look down a few posts

I just want to Thank yu guys for all your help & ideas, cause F**K ME THESE BRAKES WORK!!! :armsup: :armsup: Here's whats happened to my YN65, with part numbers and sizes where I can : *LN106 slotted discs (RDA151S) still the same diameter of 302mm but ventilated (20mm thick instead of 12mm ...

Thanks very much for your help.... that makes much more sence I'll check them out now (and probably end up buying heaps of outer stuff whilst i'm looking lol)

Ok, long story short... My YN65 needs to be engineered for (amongst other things) the 33x12.5x15 tyres, to do so I must have the speedo must read correctly. At the moment when the gps says the old girl has struggled up yo 100km/h the speedo reads 85km/h. I asked around different places and people ...

I've just been playing around with a yn65... yes all the A/C harness just plugs in, but just tuck it up out of the way cause you may still need it for the interior fan. I have the piece which would eliminate the evaporator between the fan and heater box if you require it... Unlike you I am ...

Yes, the Commodore Alts are internally regulated. there's a black box on the back of the alt where you plug the signal lamp and excite wire into.. thets the regulator. It has 2 bushes on it which wear down over time and you end up with a poor contact. the part number is "RE60" and almost every spare ...

Thanks everyone for the responses.... It was fitted last night and it's definately a limo Now I'll just wait a few months and shim it up a bit more

You'll still have to use a box out of a YN65/67 or LN65 4x4, but you will need to have a custom high pressure line made up from the pump to the box.

Mate, that will not bolt on to a YN65 series hilux :( It might fit a 2wd, but rest assured it is completely wrong for a 83 - 88 4wd Hilux

I have my YN65 hilux booked in for an engineers certificate (VSCCS) of mid july just outside of newcastle. I rang and spoke to them about it having 2" body lift, 2" spring lift, and 33x12.5 tyres... They said no problem!!! But the vehicle must have a weighbridge ticket and pass a 4 wheel brake test ...

Yesterday I got my hands on an early 80 series booster. I too have seen that some people have flipped the booster upsie down but on mine it hits the top steering uni joint ( top uni measures 66mm across, but the one near the steering box is only 52mm across ). Looks like I'm gonna have to take a die ...

Cheers for the information It's been very usefull!!!!

Dudelux, Did you have to mess around with the length of the rod between the brake pedal and the booster??? Did mou have to have new brake lines made up to suit the 80 series master cylinder???

Cheers again, Jon

I know there's probably a whole thread dedicated to this but I cant find it anywhere :( Basically I've got a YN65 hilux (with 33's) which dosen't stop.... I mean it's rediculous!!!! I've already fitted the larger 295mm drums and larger wheel cylinders to the rear and a 15/16 (23.81mm) master cyl ...

Cheers for the replies..... The diff apparently came out of a ln106, it's 4.875:1 an it looks like the top picture with the center enclosed.... but I cant see any clutch packs in there :(

Hi all, I just revieved a replacement diff center for my hilux, but I'm worried that it's not LSD as i paid for :(

I can't see any clutch packs, so I'm wondering how can I tell what it is???

Cheers, Jon

Yeah thats all well and good, but whats stopping the rotor from doing its own thing and moving about on the studs?? The 2 philips bolts on the 80 do alot more than you think!! If the disc is not fitted spot on then i assume vibration would occur as is becomes 'out or rounds' in an oval kinda ...

Hi guys, I just want to clear some things up in reguards to the Subaru calipers... The "L" series subarus ARE the square shape!!!!! Built from late 1984 till the early 90's. All of these models had ventilated 18mm discs, with the handbrake on the front wheels. The L series is also inentifiable from ...

Hello everyone!! The gearchange in my hilux has been getting sloppier, it's almost like stiring poridge!! But last night in 2nd, i could 'swing' the stick anti-clockwise around till it hit the dash!! most concerning!!! Wtf is going on? is there a bush somewhere thats flogged out?? Any help would be ...

I recently fitted a new aftermarket 4y to my lux, replacing the 3y. The new motor didn't have near the amount of "drill outs" for the pollution system as the old one, ie no EGR, no christmas trees etc. The only things which are set up to work are the vacuum advance and charcoal cannister. I now only ...

Howdy, I have 33 inch Goodyear MTRs on the lux, and have probably done 10 to 15 thou k's on them, and they seem to be about half worn.

Is this normal or should I expect more out of them?

Is there a site where you can check to see what the individual ADR's stand for? like what the ones on your complience plate mean??

Mate, finally someone with my economy!!!!!!! I just put in a 4y about 8 months ago, she is better on fuel than the 3y was, but the most i have got from the tank is only 270 ks, and thats babying the thing! the worst i have had was 180 ks from $75 of fuel. the economy is even worse now that it dosen ...

Cheers, Ill give them a go

Howdy, I have just changed my bonnet, a door and guards after p put the lux on its side, but in my haste I threw out my old guard which had the snorkel on it. As a result I no longer have a guide to re-fit it. I need help lining up the holes. it is a safari snorkel on a YN65. if you have a template ...

yep, big clunk when you try to push or pull the top & bottom of the tyre.

I have been tightening the 4 bolts on top and bottom of the swivel hubs, I dont think they were shimed correctly after I changed the diff. She steers like a wheelbarrow with a flat tyre, following the joins in the pavement.

surely will look at those immediately! I have had to tighten the nuts a few times in the past. It is just about due foe a swivel hub overhaul anyway, both felts are gooonne and they leave a nice grease/ oil mix over the inner guarsd and tyres. No it dosent have adjustable draglink, the only ones i ...
