Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just to confirm for others reading this thread.

1990 to 1998 80 series. Gregorys workshop manual page 127.
Model:
Non Turbo ... H150F
Turbo... H151F
Difference in gears 1st and second. H151F is STRONGER with a bigger clutch to handle the 30% more power and torque.
Ok, can the 1st and 2nd from ...

take all the screws out.

Hi guys. I have read this post with interest. I am trying to sort out what the best isolator is. I seem to know enough about electrics to get me into trouble lol, but not enough to sort this sort of thing out.
Drivesafe. are you saying that a flooded (deepcycle) battery would be better than an agm ...

call Mick from Micks auto hardware on 0403245326. He operates out of a van at present traveling around, or he can freight to you as well.
He does all rubbers, clips fasteners lights etc.

They dont fit either, floor pan is different and a middy has cross memeber in the way.

Fair enough. I reckon you might be able to make the tank out of a late 42 series fit . It goes predomenantly on the right hand side but some of it goes over the tail shaft. Looking at them it looks like it ...

Try the front tank out of a 75 series ute

Bullshit, I have spoken to people who do it to there comp cars, and certain cars with certain snorkle setups actually improve with reverse facing heads.

Another for the TD 80

ps don't call your cruiser a landy. Not because it will upset the latte sniffing land rover type, but because it's an insult to Mr T being associated with those back yard built jalopies

LOL. An insult to cruisers.

I think you will find on some, if not all cruisers that 33s fall into the legal catagory.

why do you want 4 inches of lift? how will it improve your offroad ability?
He didnt ask for opinions on 4", he asked for suspension price advice. If he wants 4" then, why not have 4"?
Iam tossing up weather to go 3 or 4". That is when your opnion would come in.

he's asking what the cheapest 4 ...

I guess most people that would install an after market Taco are rice cars running on petrol with a little NOS from time to time.


most people I see with aftermarket tachos have stock engines, with the shift lights set at 2000rpm so it comes on in maccas carpark.

Serious question - do race cars ...

from what I have been told by a tailshaft guy, is that the front shaft can spin anyway when not engaged just from vibration from other spinning parts etc. This is why the front slip yoke flogs out on tailshafts, because they are spinning with no pressure on them, causing them to flap around and flog ...

There would be a lot less chance of losing the bead with 8" rims.

I don't really see the advantage of going 10" wide.
I totaly agree. I ran 35x12.5 for years with no problems on 8s. I then went to 10s and have had no end of trouble with shit getting in the beads, causing slow leaks. Plus I have ...

Since you were considering a shortie (Bundera) as well as the middie, you could also consider a short wheel base Landcruiser. These were the BJ70, which had the 3B and the BJ71 which had the 13BT. I don't think they sold the BJ71 in Australia but there are a couple around as grey imports. Also the ...

What I wrote about the Unidens only problem is being down on power wasn't quite right, they are also less sensitive tan a GME or Icom (poorer reception) and the mics are pretty crap, the connections between radio and curly cord always break.

Midi, if you recon the GME shits on the Uniden you ...

What do you mean "shorting the unit" crozza? I have never seen or heard of anyone blowing the finals on any brand except for shorting the aerial connection or just old age.

The only problem that Unidens have (imo) is that they are generally a little down on output power (4.2-4.5Watts) compared to ...

first problem is you bought a uniden lol. then the next problem is arial earth, or just shiet arial.

I wish one of you would get it done. I would buy one tomorrow if it was available.
Might have to look into doing a mould up myself I think.

I am very interested to see how this goes. I have herd a lot about the laminover intercoolers, and will prob get a setup for my td 80, a littl down the track

i personally would leave the 1hdt gearbox how it is and would go down the the reduction gears in the t/case option. i find first low enough for general driving but i will do more black top driving them off the black top driving at this stage. yes it does need another gear above fifth and others i ...

why would you want to up the compression on a turbo motor
For more low down torque, it would be like a turbo on a 1hz or 3b. they have better compression, for one thing more engine braking on down hills.
Oh and 80 delirious, so your suggesting bolting a turbo on a turbo.
Why dont people just ...

In the rebuilding stakes, is it possible to up yhe compression of the 1hdt?

through all 4x4 services, online. (They sell on ebay as well). I got a price only 4 days ago. $95 for the 240 and $75 for the 170.

Im interested in the 3 pod. even for that price.

I would like peoples comments on the 80 gearing. I have just bought a turbo diesel 80, and i seem to find that the low range is just not low enough, and of course 5th isnt quite tall enough on the highway. I have only just bought it so it still only has 31s and I am still finding it doesnt seem to ...

So on this note. If rebuilding a 1hdt, is it possible to up the compression to around what the 1hz is?
I have noticed the lack of low down torque. I own a 1hdt 80 and a midi with the 14b with is 3.7 litre. I reckon the 14b has more torque than the 1hdt. If I turboed the 14b (which I am going to) I ...
