Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have checked the bolbs and to see they have a clean connection. ive also checked round the gear box to make sure al the wiring has a clean connections but no luck yet

gday all
i just picked up a cheap hilux from the auctions a 1992 4x4 with the 3l engine in it. i took it in for a road worthey the other day and the one of the areas that it failed on was the reversing light didn't work when i put the transmission in to reverse.

any help would be apreciated

what sort of turbo kit did you put on and where did u get it from?

go the mighty 2.8. it ur wanting a test dummy i canhave use mine i dont even mind if u cook th engine!

and f 250 or 350 maybe or an American import vehicle may be your best option most of them are legal for 4.5t. all the Aussie patrols and cruisers are only rated to 3.5t. or maybe perhaps get your self a small truck

don't forget the neon lights

by any chance would u want to do another one?

There wasn't any decent factory GU engines to consider so i pulled it out and put a rb25det in it from a r33 skyline

nice conversion but don't nissan make a 4.5 v8 for the infinity?

id personally get the turbo first but pending on if u choose to get both. with the lpg atm u get the government re bait of 2000 in which i believe old rudd has chosen to scrap in the near future. to have a to have a turbo or lpg installed would cost around $3500 each so go with the lpg first so u ...

im after any info if anyone has put one of these engines in to there patrol or landcruiser. i just picked up a copy of the "just 4x4s outdoors mag. and it has an add in it advertising a engine swap for the 4bta engine to replace the 2h in a 60 series. basically im after a conversion for my 2.8 gu ...

the 1HD-FTE would be my first choice due to it being a directinjection with a macanical fuel puimp as being a apprentice diesel fitter dies help, but the idea of putting as toyota engine in to a nissan gets a few eye brow raisings.

i have a 2.8 gu nearing 300kms on the clock & am getting a bit tired of the lack of power, its ok unloaded but when loaded up its gutless i know the most commen ideas of of an of engine swaps are the 4.2 td or the 6.5 chev, the 4.2 needs some tweaking to get some action out of it & the 6.5 is ...

how about a holden surbaban that where released 1998 to 2001 they came out with a 350 petrol in them or one of those 6.5 diesels & gave 583Nm @ 1800rpm

all the extras u would want leather seats, climate & can tow 4.5 t

about 650ish to 700 & add another 200 for the sub tank for around town & hwy use. all up around 900 to 1000kms range all up on the hwy sitting around 100 to 110 ish anything much quicker u can watch the fuel gauge drop

how about the cost process, from what ive seen the swb hold there value a tad better than a lwb which a usualy cheaper?

it depends as well if u need decent range being in vic, lpg is still cheap as there! & with government rebates why not, the 4.5 & 4.8s can take lpg, provided with the right set up

places like arb & tjm sell 2nd tanks for the gqs, id suggest that u go there for at least a look at there set up & then descide how u wanna do yours,

could u go to the wreckers & steal the set up of a GU?

i was just wondering what is the factory turbo psi levels for a 99 GU, is it possible or worth it to turn the psi up, im not so much worried about running the motor, at higher temps or ruining its engine life as i plan for an engine swap in the nest 12 months!

does anyone recken this is worth buying for parts, or even chopping it down in to a UTE http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-PATROL-1991-DAMAGED_W0QQitemZ160053936468QQihZ006QQcategoryZ102303QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem hey keen on your nissan was just wondering wat reserve price you have on itand if there is any ...

i don't know much about them but i got one in my GU patrol a top mount one & a mate has one in his GQ patrol there the same engine but he has an after market turbo, mine is factory & his intercooler is a front mount water cooled one, & on take off he easily wins

11 to 12 per 100kms on highway or around town, underpowerd, but a after market chip can fix that. mine has just over 230kms on the clock & have flogged the crap out of it from day one & never had a problem with it apart from being underpowered!

how does it it improve the economy over?
whats the diesel uasage for every 100kms ?

i can get the racq/v... which ever state ur in, u can pay an inspector to give it a quick look over.

the only problem nissan had with the 2.8td was they where way under powered

Hopefully early next year i will be upgrading to an 80 series TD Cruiser or patrol. I currently have a BJ42 (3B). Do you think a private sale or trade in would be best? I know i would have to do a few things for private sale such as new seat belts etc. What are your thoughts? just use it for a ...

i got a 2.8 td 99 gu as well & in the process of wanting to change motors over, as im not keen on selling it, aparently its easier getting a 6.5 chev in than the 4.2, u will have to change over nearly everything there isn't much price difference in the getting either motor either, unless u already ...

have you looked at the V8 100 series? i know the prices have droped considerable on the east coast. Mine get 25l/100km towing 3.4t car trailer and 14l/100km unladenaround town with heaps of power. YEAH RIGHT mate, are u would be lucky to get those figures in a diesel? have u thought of a 80 series ...
