Outer Limits 4x4 Board

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I bought a GQ patrol... its a damn money pit compared to the feroza.
I still have mine, but the availability of parts is becoming an issue... might have to sell it soon

Just in case anyone else is looking I have brand new a set of Thule racks ready to fit - $140ono
(and a cargo barrier - $50)

The only thing wrong with a Daihatsu is, (and always has been) the lack of aftermarket parts available.

Yep, I got one too... just waiting for the idler arm recall, and I'll be laughin

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what size radiator cap I should have for my GQ patrol. I'm losing a lot of coolant out to my overflow and I'm concerned my cap is not sealing under pressure. When I screw the cap on I barely have to push it down at all, and I think that's just the pressure of the ...

Did you put the feroza engine in a charade?

... maybe I missed that bit...

Got it back today.. he ended up getting parts from Daiauto.

one would assume so.. but he has been unable to find them.

I'm chasing the springs that return the drum brake shoes.
Anyone have any, or know where to buy them?

I've heard one design is better for torque, and the other better for more power higher up in revs, but cant remember which is which.

Can anyone give me some first hand knowledge of the difference in their car before/after fitting them; and what type fitted please.

I'm looking at getting a new exhaust and extractors, but different people have told me different extractor designs are best.
So which is best, Tri-Y, or 3-2-1 ?

It took me a long time to find this, and now I am selling it without ever having fitted it to the car :x

Tuck style soft top, with frame - black in colour
One side window 'glass' is sunburnt, and now brown/orange instead of clear... but everything else is in tip-top condition. Vinyl is still soft ...

More ! More! More ! techniques pleaase. :) I have done extractors, free flow exhaust , free flow air intake. It has improved the performance of
my Roza. but as usual , We always want more. Any other possible suggestions?

In the philippines our Roza's are carburated. Are there efi kits
sold ...

So when are you going to upgrade to a real car?

maybe one that can keep ALL 4 wheels on the ground lol

A feroza is a real car... and a damn good one at that. Its only let down by manufacturers that refuse to make parts for them.

I just bought a nissan patrol, and as capable as it may be.. the ...

fantastic photos. Do you have any more information about the LWB model?

hmm... I had the same problem when I was trying to find a soft top at a reasonable price.
I'll be coming to Albury in August, and Lithgow in September if thats any help

111cm high, 124cm at the widest point, and 6cm at the thickest point.
Thats without any packaging around it.

hmm.. no idea on courier cost, but feel free to contact some yourself.

Try the online yellow pages and search for Courier, Bendigo

Fastway
TNT (not recommended if you want it in one piece when it arrives)
Pack&Send ??

nothing a courier cant fix

I have never fitted it, but as far as I know it mounts where the floor drops down to the front, and sits tight up against the seats.
You could easily modify the mounts to suit your needs.

Hey guys.. just thought I should give you all a heads up with some of the stuff I am selling on ebay.

thanks that helps a lot
... I found an '89 model on the side of the road with about 190,000k's on it, on gas, for $6800, but was put off when the owner told me on the phone later that it was an MQ...
Its got round headlights, flared arches... and flares.

I've been browsing ebay and the trading post, and thought of something.
How can I tell the difference between a GQ and an MQ just by looking at them online?
Different body panel, different grille??

thanks.. I figured the same when he told me it was $3650 for the conversion...on special!
...and at $4950 for gas injection... thats a lot of fuel savings to make before it becomes cheaper to run

What do you plan on doing with this car anyway? Touring, weekend basher, comps, tow rig, daily driver??

Touring, weekend basher, tow rig, daily driver, and a business car. So it needs to be capable, but also presentable ;) No cut guards, huge lift or pipe-winchbar :cry:


I was told today by a ...

I'm after a LWB. I currently have a daihatsu feroza which gets me everywhere I want to go, but its just not big enough any more.
I can either take my 2 big dogs, or 'stuff'... never both, so it has to be a LWB, even though I like 4wding with a short wheel base. :cry:

ok, so short of getting my ...

excellent info guys, thanks heaps...keep it coming

I presume the TB42 is carbie and TB42E is EFI?

Am I right in saying the EFI will have more power, and use less fuel, but the carbie is cheaper to convert to gas??

Km/L or L/100... either way works for me as long as you specify which your using

Hi guys,
I have just started looking at buying a patrol, and the GQ body shape seems to be what I am looking at.
Firstly, whats the difference between a GQ and an MQ?
Are there any 'common problems' I should look for?
Do they all have LSD standard?
What models have the sway bar disconnect?

Also ...

From your 'flex shots' you can certainly see how the mighty feroza could benefit from a locker or two (even a stiff LSD would help LOL)

I'm gonna have to sell mine soon, and I'm not looking forward to it. Such an awesome car.
Cool pics
