Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi, i have a kzn185 surf with the 1kzte engine in it. have upgraded the cooling system with a larger than stock (HD prado) radiator, new fan hub (have you checked yours is working ok?) and a 10 blade kzn165 hilux fan. the 10 blade fan move a shite load more air than the stock one did. i've also gutt...

scoured google image for engine bay pics. think i have it right now.

trying to find a engine vacum pipe layout, dont seem to be able to find it in my manual and had a glance through the FAQ and done a search. specificly need to know where the hose on the side of the inlet manifold (in the middle if the manifold facing the rhs fender), the one from the ports on the po...

brush on body deadening works wonders inside doors and under carpets on the floor etc.

thanks for the replies fellas. i've scoured through the surf forum. even though there is certainly a over heating issue with the auto, the owners still seem to be happy with their surf. i've read about the radiator issue and about installing a external trans cooler, both things are easily done. i ha...

thanks mico for the promt reply. i will have a gander through the surf forums.


UhhOhh, do you beleive it's the transmission itself? or rather lack of decent factory cooling for the transmission?

overall i would love a dual cab colorado/d-max, but just cant afford one of them. haha.

hello, i am looking at upgrading my trusty feroza to a larger more comfortable ride. in my town there is a '93 3.0 liter turbo diesel auto surf for sale, has ~280k on the clock and looks rather neat and tidy inside and out. just wanting to know the pro's and con's of these surf's. my folks had the o...

hi peoples, just asking if anyone has replaced their rear pinion seal of late and know the seal part #?

sorry for being lazy, trying to get out of pulling it apart and getting the #'s and then putting it back together to go buy/order one from the local bearing shop.


cheers if anyone can help.

gearbox swap wasnt going too bad until after lunch when i went to put the donor box in. jacked it up into place, slid in a little bit.. wouldnt go. wiggled it, swore, put tailshaft in and turned it, swore more and more wiggling and swearing. pulled box back out, the freaking shaft where it goes into...

i'm home on break, so i called my local wreckers this morning as i knew they had a roza box there. fooker wants $770 for it!!!! fook that.

looks like i'll be pulling the one out of the narrow track bush basher/beach hack i bought ages ago that had been rolled.

i hope this project is still moving?

any updates?

hi there guy's, i have recently lost 5th in my roza box. doing a search i've come up with this thread. the 5th gear fork holder bolt pointed out in the pic is tight on mine. umm.. was driving normal from perth to home, slowed down through the gears to turn, back up through the gears to 5th, but ther...

got mine today, guess it'll have to wait until i am up in the city with it again.

horn, pure gnarly horn.

i have seen posted a couple times about the water pump cavitating, i am wondering if a larger pulley was used on the water pump to slow it down is all that needed? guess i'll just have to try it. :) and if anyone has moved the thermastat? where did you put it? i was thinking inline with the outlet p...

mmmmm... 4age goodness.

cheers, nothing on the body is really useable as it was rolled. i was mainly after the engine and gearbox/transfer.

thanks.

yea same looking HD efi engine as mine.

thanks for the reply.

please excuse me if i havnt searched enough or used the wrong terms, but i am looking at buying a rolled 88 model narrow track that sports a lowish km engine. i know i cant use any? of the suspension components on my 96 wide track, but the engine and gearbox are the same yes? will my a/c compressor,...

i preferred scooting out to my parents place at pine creek (back electra rd) in my mr2, awesome twisty road.

there be some good 4wding around bundy, i lived there for ~7 years. enjoy the little roza, there are quite a capable 4wd IMO. :) i've run 31's since i've had mine, though i think 30's would be a better option and allow not to have to worry about a body lift for clearance. plus not as much strain on ...

hahaha.. my pics dont show the dents from rolling over in the dunes or bashing through tree's to my favourite fishing spots.

it mainly gets a lot of beach/sand action, esperance has lots of them to offer.

hrmmm... dont know what the go is with my link.

there are pics there of the w2a i use, just a little st165 celica set-up.

hrmm. ok. i run a w2a intercooler and have been lucky enough not to have that problem. do a lot of sand work which is rather slow going at times.

mighty mouse, what makes you say that a turbo will cause the engine to overheat at the drop of a hat??
my turbo made no difference what so ever to the running tempreature of the engine.

good to see another turbo roza!!!

though i would be looking very hard to find a st165 w2a intercooler to replace that badly placed a2a intercooler.... or at least front mount the thing!

yea that did used to happen, but the shocks are truly munted. thanks.

thanks for the replies guy's, helps heaps.

jack the front up by the chassis and undo the bottom shock bolt and you will see the suspension doesn't drop any further.

never tried that! maybe it isnt the shocks hitting their reach like i thought. cheers.

i just made a basic log type manifold from steam pipe, cheap and easy.

the shocks i have on at the moment have always been just about at the end of their stroke, over rough ground they actualy rattle on the end of the stroke. a while back there was talk about shocks to use from different cars (eg. i think murcod found vs? commodore shocks suited the rear of his) that h...
