Outer Limits 4x4 Board

they run separate left and right circuits for the high and low beam and separate tail dash and park light circuits

i'd check for power at teh bulbs then for power out of the combination switch, I had one do strange stuff and the switch was full of crap

you only need to be unlucky once with a cut rope or damaged brake shaft and its goodbye to your truck and for a small budget race teams that would be hard to recover from

But a dinted truck is better than someone dead from hitting a tree or even a group of spectators in a 3ton nissan at 100+kph ...

1:- Turbo's and Superchargers can only be fitted to the original engine (if under 4350cc) of that model of vehicle used.



so under that size its turbo the original engine only, or fit some other naturally aspirated engine that there doesnt appear to be any restrictions on?

I can see what you ...

if theres is anyone i trust on here its suzimad. he knows what he's talking about.

Ruffy i have never bought a reconditioned engine or got ripped but i know what they go for and the point i was making was 2k+ for 1 cracked head is a stupid price to pay when u can get a "fully reco" engine for same ...

Owners manual says 500kg braked or not, my Hayman Reece towbar on my 95SWB says 1200kg, in QLD at least the law is manufactures limit or I think if thats not stated 1.5 tomes the GVM.

So for me at least 500kg is the limit, not sure if SA would differ.

Its ar$eholes like you and leary that are destroying the value of Australian manufacturing.


Greed killed Australian manufacturing, on both sides of the invoice.

Dont knock the Chinese, they know what people want and are unbelievably eager to provide it, you want cheap shit, they have cheap ...

Thanks to all teh vics for a great show and some interesting tracks to watch, Yep Lynda and Jane did very well, I think Lynda smelt the chance to beat some guys and really got into it

whats wrong with the old 4.16 series one sierra gearing? works pretty well with 235 in a sierra

14mm

Vitaras have the mount point where the rear carpet trim panel is (the steal bit that screws down) if you dont have 2 mounts there or 2 5/16"UNC (they are always imperial) holes then there wont be anything underneath, I dont know what year they fitted them except mine is 96 and has them, an 89 doesn ...

are you driving it through the control stuff hung off the motor or direct to the motor?

does it get hot running off a battery?

Maybe next time tow a trailer with ya offroad tires in there so ya truck doesnt look to appealing.

they were trying to defect cars on trailers too

the first hard hit you take the rollbar will just punch through the wheel tubs. A roll bar needs to be attached to the chassis for the most strength.

Just get a soft top tub, you are over capitalising on silly mods just because you want to.

people say this but I am yet to see a sierra actually ...

thats some good info there cj, I dont suppose anybody knows the heights and rates of standard GV springs?

go to the general forum and ask whats better out of 6 different 4wds and the people that own one will say its the best, same with vits and Sierras

I would go with whatever seems to be cheap around you and what the local wreckers have te most stock of parts for

I have owned both, modded both and ...

pre load can also be checked by tying some cord to a wheel stud and wrapping it around the outside of all the studs and pulling on the end with a spring measure (fish weighing scale type thing) to measure the force needed to make the hub turn, you need 1-3kg of force to be withing range

had one for years with no problem, the empty holders weighs bugger all and its not like you have a full jerry can on all day every day.

or make your rear suspension soft enough to not shake the carp out of the car and it wont crack

do you have an uprated alternator? are you fitting the right size main fuse?

doesnt seem possible to me but seems like you are simply drawing a lot of current through all your lights being on and the alternator is putting more back in than the fuse is rated at

leave your lights on for a while with ...

here is another view, should work on NT as well



you can drill the chassis like christover on a NT but the rear nut is hard to get on and on a WT the shackle can hit the hook, not the strongest place to put it either

its only a 11ft glass thing but pulls it a few hundred k's no problems and across soft sand.

still waiting to hear from hayman reese about the 1 ton rating as well, appears most other towbars list the same as the manufacturer

cj wrote:The lwb unbraked and the swb Vit's unbraked and braked have a towing capacity of 450kg and the lwb braked has a towing capacity of 680kg.

where is that info from? my hayman reese has a 1000kg tow rating and 100kg ball weight. Tows a small glass boat easily as well

if you actually read what he wrote instead of just glazing over because of your preconceived opinion of him you might actually understand what he is saying.

A sierra is not a safer vehicle than a same sized sedan driven by exactly the same person in a responsible way. You also have to consider ...

what a load of crap, you are talking about a car being safer than a sierra passivley, IE both of em get wacked then there are lots of cars out there safer than a sierra, but same can be said of lots of cars, and trucks, and bikes, and busses, too many variables

driven responsiblly a sierra is very ...

what makes you think the o2 sensors will make a difference? in reality the computer looks at them at idle and cruise to trim the fuel by a few %, there is a major problem here

I would check the coolant temp sensor, the computer might not think the engine is warming up (and check the coolant temp ...

you cant buy calmini direct anymore, you have to buy through their Australian agent

Tridon make a Road train flasher that isnt load sensitive and the supply and load pins are correct for a sierra
Do you have a part number?
I looked though all the Hella and Narva range and found nothing, didnt think to look into Tridon.

not anymore but in the front of their book they have ...

Oh I know.... I got knocked for RWC by the flash speed thing and needed to fix it quick. When the bulbs go I'll put a resistor in. apparently there is no direct fit led flasher unit for sierras, the base has to be rewired.

Steve.

if the engine has been tested to Australian Standards. :!:

Then how do all the other import motors that come into this country be allowed to be fitted to vehicles?

All the japanese imported engines meet much higher emission standards than any Australian market produced vehicle.

only works ...

Pretty sure I asked you before but do you have the diagnostic plug still in the loom?

sounds to me like it knows its not keeping up and cracking the sads, have you swapped the whole throttle body and TPS over?

I know there are very many grades of urethane. However, the issue you miss there is percieved value. It I spend $12 on a urethane bush rather than $4 for a rubber one, I expect 3 times the life. I f you mke a grade that flexes just like rubber in a axial joint like a leaf spring bush, it will not ...
