Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a GQ 4.2 petrol carby and I suspect that one of the valves may have receded into the head or is burnt. I am going to do a compression test to see what cylinder is the problem. It is fairly low mileage but it has been on LPG for most of its life. The heads are fairly expensive to reco I have ...

moved here.

A mate turbo'd his 4.5 and put a rod through the block on over boost and lean mixture. Unless you know what you are doing I would steer away from adding boost with the petrol motor. Diesel is another matter as a turbo is something that they thrive on. An engine that is designed for low end torque is ...

the police radars are equipped to detect if you are using a radar detector. The cops can and do strip your car to find them to if they are concealed. not worth the risks IMO Wonder if they have to put it all back together again if they don't find one......... ..and we keep all the coins we find ...

Mate towed a heavy tandem trailer to NSW today to pick up my car that had broken down. Left Frankston at 0925 and arrived there at 1350. He then towed the car back to Vic and you wouldn;t even know it had a load on board. 20 litres per 100 kilometres with the load. Land cruiser 200 series V8 diesel ...

You're right about the Japanese manufacturing probs. A dealer told me today that a Toyota dealer who normally shifts 70 new cars a month now has a quota of only 15 cars per month, as that is all the factory can supply him. I guess good second hand equivalent vehicles will hold/increase in value ...

600 were ideal for the 5.8's but an over kill on the 4.2.

yeah there is two reasons for this: 1: my tyre placard is worn away after 15 years of shit int he glovebox rubbing against it 2: i want to replace it with something that has a bigger tyre standard then my current. RN: do you know where that manual can be found? surely somebody out there makes up ...

On GQ's they are on the glovebox lid...mine is. Aren't they dated? Mine is dated 07/93 Any others may clash with your rego build details. Just on the side: Now mine has a tyre placard but it does not reflect the tyre options and probably relates to the standard wheel pack. It does not reflect the ...

If you're charged rego based on number of cylinders, and you have a V8 that is sometimes a 4, do you get a partial discount on your rego?

With the last V8 I owned, the 8 cylinders worked all the time. So simple.

I look at doing the same thing except with a slightly smaller speaker. When I went down to Jaycar to get the bits to do it, they had small speakers for about $12 that plug in using a headphone jack. The one I got was about 50x50mm and is fairly loud. Just a thought and it will be a lot easier then ...

Mate bought a cheap chinese brand jobby...$180 light weight and cuts well.

My Stihl 076 is too heavy, kicks like a mule when starting. Great for the big stuff but over engineered for the camping wood.

hey guys just found this site looking for ways to get my nissan patrol 1999 model 2.8 st a guy on here called mr green had the same problems. you take off at the lights and some times it will shudder or loose power at aroud 15000rpm or just below then it will take off and smoke will coe out the ...

Hey all, I have recently installed an 80 series front end into my 4runner and having some teething issues with the steering, Im running a custom 3link front running 2 lower arms and one upper arm located on the passenger side now the problem is the steering wont self centre after steering input and ...

Cut and pasted this from this : http://www.exploroz.com/vehicle/electrics/inverters.aspx Electrocution The 240 volts from an Inverter can kill you instantly, just like the 240 volt at home, so you need to take precautions. All modern houses have a Safety Switch (or Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker ...

Pictures?

I don't know the ins and outs, but I gather that the way an RCD will work in this kind of case is not the same as with a house where the earth is staked to the... earth. Another reason why DC-DC is preferable if you can possibly manage it! I suppose that if you touch the 240 volt whilst standing on ...

Just a thought...a mate has a Landcruiser twin turbo V8 diesel wagon. He is making a slide in drawer/complete with air compressor, LED lights. It has an invertor and he has done a great job on it. He emphasised the importance of installing a safety switch (RCD). I wonder if our members consider this ...

$1750 USD in 2009.

Our dollar has slumped a bit in the meantime.

I have a dual fuel TB4.2

I found that mine began backfiring on throttle off, sometimes when changing gears. I eliminated it by pulling the high tension lead out of the coil and found a build up of gunk inside the coil neck which was causing poor connectivity.

Thanks Dave.

Evil thoughts Scott..and I am usually the skeptical one. My mate's friend's marriage failed and the friend 's wife took the Pajero. Mate was storing some gear for him but he moved to Sydney leaving the goods with my mate. It has all the brackets and has a built in perspex emergency hatch.

A mate was given a cargo barrier for a 2000 NM Pajero LWB . He doesn't have a 4WD and it isn't a good fit in my Maverick.

What price on ebay would it likely to fetch.

i have a electronic dizzy setting here cost me next to nothing daz No one has answered his question. He has the electronic dizzy out of the EFI I assume and he wants to replace the old distributor. ( Not convert to Pertronix.) anyone done the EFI dizzy to Carby engine conversion. PS I have the ...
