Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I went down to the property on wed on the bike for a bit of a warm up for the ride, and I reckon the last hole is more of a cruiser trap than a hilux one ':D'

The guys have done a great job of setting up all of the obstacles and the position is perfect for all of the crowd to look on.

Last year ...

the dump pipe is a DTS i think, from there on is 3 inch no mufflers.

there is a little oil film in the intake pipe, i thought this was normal.

IF the turbo is had it, whats the $ damage for a new DTS one or a ball bearing one that will fit the existing flanges

Here's a tricky one. When accelerating in the higher gears as the boost starts to build, it feels as if the turbo is spalling(binding up) for a second or so, then as the exhaust pressure builds it forces the turbo to spin up.

It doesn't happen all the time, only randomly in the first hour after ...

Nutter,

what nozzles are you using for your water/meth (brand, where to buy) i've got a hold of some 'Flat jet 65 deg spray' (JBR 0260 T1, www.techpro.com.au) nozzles that will flow 0.230 lpm at 3 bar.

Is this too much flow for a td42 or too little pressure at 3 bar?

Instead of using an ...

thanks guys

I'm planning on using a 9L water fire extiguisher bottle for an air tank/resevoir for my on board ac compressor. Does anyone know the thread size and type so i can source the fittings i need. I'd measure it myself but i don't get the bottles till next week.

thanks steve

alright using the delco if i go for a earlier model (VP) i won't need the body control module or the memcal, but what about putting an auto v8 onto the manual patrol box?

do i need to get the memcal and specify for a manual ??

i'm just about sold on the haltec E6GMX ecu. Tuning won't be a prob as one of my mates is right into that.

Basically i buy the 5lt regardless of being auto or manual or vs/vr or vp/vn then plug in the haultec and everything should work with a bit of fine tuning to the standard "map" (engine will ...

Hi all

I've been trying to find information on theis subject but it seems to be scarce. I'm going to be undertaking the conversion soon (into a MAV SWB) but can't decide which way to go.

Using a standard computer to run the set up, all issues with memcal, speed sensor, auto trans motor to manual ...

not a very smart idea. buy some rated ones

can't beat a GQ mate, start with the best and you'll be a long way in front

I'm just about to order my new 350 chev for the mav, but can't decide on using a good offroad 'proof' carby or going to straight lpg.

how well do the holly 4wd carbies work? the holley on the 305 i have now is hopeless even after a 4wd kit has been installed in it.

cheers steve

looking at a Gas research system ( straight gas ) but is a little on the pricey side. single tank(90L) set up $3500 dual tank (160L) $5000 before johnny howards discount.

help please

myself and a couple of mates bought a 82 VH commodore for a charity bash. We want to weld the diff but we don't want it to break. The bash will be over 4 days 90% dirt road.

Has anyone had any experience with the diffs in this car. its only a 202 blue with a 5 speed box and from what ...

i gave it a real good hit (way to fast down a rough track) and now i think i've bent the starter housing bolts. while starting it skips teeth and sometimes misses all together. i'll keep drivin her till she stops. the motor has tapet cover back pressue and needs a fair bit of work. Money i'd rather ...

I m running standard gq rad on a 305 chev and it never goes over 95 (80 is norm) even on sand and hill climbs. standard clutch fan off gq too

yeah but the motor is a little tired as well along with carbie issues. 304 is a all in one solution with lots more power

another question
what has to be done to get a vs - vt 304 to run with a patrol manual box

G day all

I'm having issues with front with the front diff pinion hitting the starter motor (305 Chev) on full travel up.

I've been on the phone to a guy from marks 4wd adapters and cutting a long story short. A injected holden (304) will bolt in with new engine mounts and he thinks, starter ...

I've had a good result from fitting extractors and a 2.5 system. The motor revs a lot free'er up over 3 thousand revs. It runs just as well with 35 s as it used to on 33s with standard exhaust

thats not a 260

There bloody huge like mine. This is the compliance plate you have to read. The HH43 in the bottom right stands for the H 260 Diff and 4.375 ratios

If you look closely you can see that the leaf pack is almost the same angle. Some sort of bend is in the tube. i'm going to pull off the passenger side and check axles and stuff

HAd a slight mishap on the weekend at five rocks. Does anyone have a Front Diff housing to suit a 1990 Leaf GQ CAb Chassis they want to sell. It has the huge rear diff but i don't know the ratios

I havn't had a shroud on for 2 years now. My fan threw a blade through the top of the shroud on a real rough track. I 've had no heating problems at all, only time it goes near half temp

first you break the hilux and now the poor patrol

Sounds like a common problem, i've had the left come loose at least 8 times now. I've been told by one old timer that it can have something to do with after market bearing kits. The bearings have a chamfer different to the originals. Don't know how true this is though. I just tightened the hell out ...

YEah it is an electric solinoid and if your really unlucky and have the alternator with the vacuum pump on the back, it'll cost ya

Might not suit you, but i've made one for under the tray inbetween the 2 main support rails. It bolts to the chassis and is completely sheeted in and sealed from dust/water.

You can see here the handle hides nicely behind the number plate using and old ...

can you grab a price for a 1990 leaf gq too please, tie rods that is. The only places i can find are insanely expensive

i just got out the tin snips and hacked away. then pulled the boot down to cover the hole and got out the self taping screws. no leaks and it looks normal
