Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi matt, the problem with oil coming up the air line to the solenoids is mostly caused by poor diff breathing. because the air connection inside the diff at the seal housing is under the level of the oil,a diff that doesn't breathe enough through the factory breather will pressurize the diff enough ...

The Lockers were installed by ARB themselves.

It apears to be mainly the rear locker thats doing it...

Fellas, Anyone have the problem with their air lockers purging oil up the air hose and out the solinoid at the compressor? I'v e got a 03 Dual Cal Hilux with front & rear. Only had them in about 6months. Spoke to ARB and they reckon it's pretty normal... I reckon thats not real flash for such a ...

Is it a 1kz-te or a 5L or 5LE with an aftermarket turbo? I haven't been too impressed with the fuel figures the guys I know with 1kz-te's get around here. The new Hilux D4D 2.5's and 3.0's are way better on fuel. It's a 1kz-te factory. My brother has a D4D and he is getting WAY better economy... It ...

I've only had it for about 9 months

No Chip, and I've never had it dyno tuned so I might look at that, or take it to a desiel specialist to have a once over

Thanks very much for your info guys...

I would look for a 12HT and spend the 5Gs on that. X2... Wait a lil' and save a bit more then 12HT it x3 I smacked a turbo on my old 2h after compression testing & all the rest of the jazz... Unless you do a full workover - I wouldn't recommend it. I was only running 4 pound boost. It'll go like a ...

What's your driving style like? I used to get around 420kms per 58L fillup (of a 66L tank) in my 03 2.8 non-turbo Hilux. It's all city driving over here with frequent stops and starts. I recently adjusted my driving style to a lot slower acceleration and shift at 2000rpm and now I'm getting about ...

Well that's what I started to think about after reading some threads about other lux motors etc...

I have done a major service @ 70 klicks and no change in consumption...

So if I know...

Hey Mate,

They are of benifit - But you need a car kit with a cradle to adapt your phone to the connector (generally FME type) of the ariel.

You really do notice the diff while country driving.

Hey Guys, I had a search, but could find the info I was after... I'm concerned about Fuel consumption - these are the only mods that would affect fuel: 2003 3ltr Turbo Diesel Hilux with: - 75000klms on the clock - 1 1/2" OME Lift - 31" Bridgstone AT's - Front & Rear Air Lockers - Extra weight with ...

Cheers Keith - I will be running 1 main + 2 aux batteries and all the usualy stuff like a fridge and spotties etc... so I'll see how I go!

Hi Folks, Have a 3.0ltr RB30 motor in the GQ... Can anyone tell me the amp rating on the standard alternator that came on these motors? Also perhaps suggest an alternator (I'm told the a commo VS/VT etc...) around the 100amp capacity that would suit or easily be moded to suit that motor? Cheers Matt

BUT OF COURSE!!!

Thanks very much guys - Exactly what I was looking for!!!

Hi Folks, Not after a HUGE forum discussion because I know these questions have been asked before and they can be annoying and P*%S people off... :bad-words: I did search but couldn't find a straight out simple answer... Will a set of 225/75/15 tyres fit on a stock 2dr 1992 JLX Vitara without any ...

Thanks very much sikid_01 - I'll see how I go when the Bulbar arrives from Melbourne on Monday!

Cheers!

Not Acording to the limited bit of information I have got from TJM, Apparently it's a bumper replacement type bar...

I am in need of some information: I have bought a bullbar for the missus' 1992 2dr Vitara - It's a TJM T13 Steel Bullbar. The problem is it doesn't have any mounting brackets :cry: I am after anyone in the Brisbane area with a TJM T1 or T13 Bullbar that I might be able to come around and have a look ...

Hi Folks, It's getting about 320-340klms per tank. According to the manual, its a 42L tank. Thats about 12-13L per 100klm!!! this may be your problem they have about a 10 liter reserve when the gauge reads empty. :rofl: too funny. but surely lux's girl is taking note how much fuel she is putting in ...

I too had wondered about it's highway consumption - They seem to b a high reving car... And I though about changing the gearing ratio...???

Give it Major tune before you go about doing things to it like efi. Flush everything and replace all the filters (oil and air), a cleaning additive to the fuel tank, clean out or the vacumm hoses, warm it up and run a carbi spray in short burst Things like timing, spark plugs, ignition leads and ...

Even though it is a carby motor - I still thought it would get better milage than what it is...

My Pootrol does bether than that!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on what you can do to get better economy? How hard or expensive is a changeover to EFI?

Hi Folks, Had a search but couldn't find what I was looking for - The missus has a 1992 JLX 2 Door Soft Top, 1.6Lt Carby Motor Currently, It doesn't have any mods at all but what it does have is the worst fuel consumption... It's getting about 320-340klms per tank. According to the manual, its a 42L ...

Bought the misus a vitara a couple of weeks ago. Got it off a chick, who got it off her mum and she had it since new. She reckons it's been engaged in 4WD once in it's life - About 12 years ago... Tried to get her in 4wd today and I had some drama's actually turning the hub switch, but got that ...

Anyone got any ideas???

Ben, It's really weird, Nothing jumps out at me to say that it's electrically involved with the fan unit...

Have a 1984 HJ60 and the fan for the A/C seems to have died. Nothing happens when you switch it through it's low/med/high settings... The Air-Con is still pushing cold air (You can feel the cold air when you have fresh air coming through the vents). The Air-Con pump kicks in when the little blue ...

Looking at buying a HJ60

The truck is in Excellent condition but the Glow Plugs are a bit lazy in the morning. You need to glow it two or three time but then it cranks over no dramas.

Whats it cost roughly to get a new set put in?

Yeah, Another bloke told me their steering dampeners are pretty damm good as well... Might add that to the list...

Hey Evan,

What sort of kit did you get? Coil/Torsion, Leaf etc...

And also did it give you much of a lift?

Cheers
Matt

Hey all, I need new shocks for my Truck anyway so I was looking around at kits. Don't really want to achieve a certain lift height or anything, Just a general better ride and if I get some better lift, clearance and departure - Sweet :cool: Looking at an Ironman Kit for my YN130 4runner. Coil Rear ...
