I have just installed a 1.5 lt surge tank with return line and an elec fuel pump 4.5-6psi, all works fine but now the sub tank and water light stay on. I have disconected the bat. no change . Any body know whats going on? disconect the battery again for a few mins, then hook it back up, see how ...

Hi I have a 3L GU patrol it is a 2001 model and has travelled 100 000km. It has just blown a piston like a number of other GU 2000-2001's. I was just wondering if any other outer limits 4x4 members have had the same problem and the success or failer they have had with after warranty claims with ...

hey guys im looking at getting a patrol ute 4.2 turbo diesel in GQ/GU what would i have to do to fit 36s under it? and if anyone has any pictures of patrol utes can you post them please thanks in advance UAV i have a GU, 4" lift 2" body, had to move the front diff foward, and run 37s with no probs ...

have you a EGR? if so block the damn thing off Will an EGR be doing anything when you've got boost? In a petrol they're only supposed to recirculate at part throttle - not at idle, not at full throttle. If it's not recirculating during boost it shouldn't affect EGT. Scott im really not to sure ...

hello I recently fitted a geuine turbo to my 4.2 diesel patrol and the exaust gas temp keeps on rising above 500 degrees celcius when I'm towing a load and I have back off every time it gets close 550 D/C I'm still running 2 1/4 exaust system with a normal muffler. If I put a 2 1/2 system with ...

THINKING CAPS ON.....anyone know what vehicle i might find this type of bolt on type hub on. the picture has the disk cut off it. its a 4 bolt configuration with a large retaining nut underneath in the centre. it obviously has extra stuff welded to in now could be just a custom made bit ...

fully agree with everything that sir rollsalot said, and i'll add they look heaps better, but i am bias, heres a pic of my rig

the factory tyres on a ST GU are 265x75x16 not 70
i was running 35s and as said earlyer just take the mud flapper off
now running 37s,just moved the diff foward 15mm, all ok

I plan to use a stainless steel automotive gas tank under my tray back, $10 from the wreckers. I plan to run a regulated air line to the tank to provide pressurised water through a ball valve. They are reasonably light, easy to mount, cheap as hell and pretty much indestructable stone wise. My only ...

i had a mate make me one out of alloy, it holds 180 L, i also run a glinde hot water off it

do they just modify the exhaust to get 405nm or is a intercooler added aswell

my ute is factory intercooled and i had my mods done in Perth WA.................

i have a 03 4.2 turbo intercooled ute,got the turbo mod done includeing the 3" exhaust. bumped up the boost (9psi now) on the dyno its running 121KW at the wheels and 405 nm @4000rpm it is a hell of a diffrence to drive. going through a bit more fuel but that doesn't bother me,the turbo whistle is ...

[quote="Butt Craic"]Unlikely to find anything on a bodylift for a GU wagon - technically it's illegal because of the air bags. On my GU coil cab, the install was pretty much identical to others that I've done on GQ utes so I can't see it being too much different for the wagons So what is involved in ...
