Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi

Can anyone tell me if the 80 Series Landruiser chrome/steel rims (15x7) will fit onto my stock 1990 4 door 4Runner with front independant suspension? At the moment I have the 16x6 chrome rims.
Thanks

I know this is an old story, but I've made some progress. I'm now running a completely different hose to the vacuum diaphragm and the secondary seems to open. Car has a lot more pickup too. Anyone know what that little long device that screws into the intake manifold is? It's got to little nipples ...

thanks for all the help. Tomorow's saturday and I'm gonna get down and dirty with it, I'm not giving up until I fix the problem even if I don't go to sleep tomorow night.

It's running shocking. Christover you may be right that the secondary may only open at high rpm under high load, but I revved it pretty hard and high and nothing showed on the vacuum gauge.

It's a bit hard to see from those pics. The diaphragm is fine, when I suck on it it retracts the rod opening the secondary throttle. It should be opening even slightly when I rev it, but doesn't budge. Fact is there is no vacuum coming from the hose, even under load. If I suck on the hose I can ...

For those of you who are familiar with the 1.3l stock carbie, at the back left there is a diaphragm which when vacuum is applied to it it opens the secondary throttle valve. Now at the moment I am running on just the one barrel and the cars feeling sluggish. The diaphragm does work but the hose ...

You think your car drinks like a v8? Try driving a v8 then you'll see. Dat sounds almost right IMO. When I had my fairlane, I used to average up around 25 litres per 100km. That means on the same Sierra tank I'd be lucky to get 160 kilometres.

The problem has gone away and I'll explain what I did if for no other reason than amusement, or to confuse you. I thought to myself, if the problem started by taking off really quickly, I got the idea to take off really quickly in reverse. I did that, did a little chirpie. I heard what sounded like ...

I don't think I've gone as ast as 4th or 5th, how come?

okay, reved it to about 4 grand before dropping it. Not very high, but had it under a bit of load at the takeoff point. And it's weird cause it's sounded like something slipped or let go under the heavy load. I put a clutch kit in it, replaced the throwout bearing as well. Would it make sense for it ...

I was driving somewhere today, I'm stopped behind traffic, went to drop the clutch and take off quick and I heard a loud high pitched squeal. The squeal continued as I drove, the pitch matching the engine revs. Firstly I thought it was a belt that maybe let go or loosened or something, but then I ...

all 1.3 sierra boxes have syncros, the nosie from ur clutch pedal is ur thrust bearing, while its apart put a new 1 in there, I'm not too sure what to think about that mate cause this is after putting a clutch kit into it which comes with the bearing. The thrust bearing is the one that pushes out ...

Just don't break it like me. Nice and slow.

Just wondering, is there any way of telling the condition of a gearbox while out of the car. I just swapped over my gearbox cause I thought it was better than my one, and now it's crunching 1st and 3rd. My dad said that should be the synchros. I wanna put the old one back in but I don't know whether ...

you are in melbourne, therefore you have mud and dust in your carby. strip it down and clean it out. blow out your lines with compressed are as well. that's all it is.[/quote] Nah, see normally I'd agree with you, but I before putting in the new engine thats exactly what I did with the carbie ...

But, but.... where is it?, kidding, I missed all these times. Checking it out now.

Okay I've seen the Chilton one on ebay, it's sold in the states. Would the chilton one be better than the factory one or not? Anyways I'll probably buy this one, OR, where do you download it?

Wow!, 3 posts in a row, thats really something. You reckon I can download it? Do you know from where? I'd probably rather spend the time downloading it cause money is a factor. I'm tight. Also does anyone know what the choke adjustment is? Is is just bending that little rod to shorten it? Carbies ...

So far I've owned two Sierra's, they've both had what looks to me like vacuum leaks, at least they're what the symptoms are. Basically at idle, it oscillates up and down, maybe at a 100 rpm margin, constantly and unpredictably (without a pattern). The reason it's a problem now is that I've put a new ...

Yes you can reverse the wheels and you can also drive blindfolded. They won't be sitting flush against the drum/disc as far as I can tell. If you look at your wheels when there on normally, especially around the holes, check to see if they're flat, they most likely won't be, in which case you can ...

At the moment I got the carbie off my parts car off, I'm just pulling it apart and trying to learn what everything does. Does anyone know where I can get a book which explains the these carbies in detail, as opposed to the simple "remove carburettor" instruction in the Sierra workshop manuals.

Just a little piece of information which I found out recently, and I find quite disturbing. In victoria, you can't go a tyre any wider than 15mm more than what the original tyre was, and can't increase the width of the rim by more than an inch. I'm out in both ways, I hear it's illegal to scratch ...

What the hell? You's are all confusing me, in Victoria it doesn't make a difference what car you drive the rego is always around $530 last time I checked. I've never heard about rego prices varying for different cars, only insurance premiums.

Nah nah nah, what your experiencing is pretty normal to an extent, thats the effect of one side of your diff bouncing up and down due to the torque reaction. I've noticed it happensl more in reverse. Think about, torque reaction pushes one side of the diff downwards, it tends to bounce up slightly ...

Instead of answering his question with a simple yes, you suggesting he grab a magnifying glass to whats written on one of the three pictures you posted. Right...

let me know if you need a hand as i live in toowoomba as well

The only real half decent thing you could do, is to scrap any 1.3 or 1.6 ideas you have, and drop a 454 in it.

A girl? No no no you have to get your self a nice little holden barina or ford laser. Kidding. Just out of curiosity Shez you gonna do the work yourself or get it done?

Anything Meguires is good.

Yeah, thats the way to do it. A little lesson, there's a tool out there for every possible thing you can imagine, but if you were to buy them all you'd go broke. Improvise.
