Outer Limits 4x4 Board

after putting lift in your car, it changes the angle of your front lower control arms and therefore chops the bushes out rather quickly. you'll find if you undo the main bolt at the rear of the front lower control arms and undo the two bolts on the diff and slide the arm down forward and out, those ...

As for the fires, one fire is at Lithgow. Currently the Darling Hurst Causeway is closed. ( the road that links lithgow to katoomba). Bells Line Of Road is also closed from Mt Tomah Botanical Gardens to The Darling Hurst Causeway. Fire is currently trickling down the valley and is at Mt Tomah ...

thanks for all your comments. and your all right. the springs i have in it were soft so it would articulate more. i'm going to go for new coils and leave it at the height it is. i've already cut guards and could fit 36" swampers under it with only SAGGED 4" coils.
Cheers all.

I'm currently running 4" springs with 2" body. The springs are sagged pretty bad. have been in car for about 3 years. I wanna go 6" springs for more clearance to fit bigger rubber. Currently has 3 degree castor plates, lengthened trailing arms, adjustable panhard arms. Just wondering on what has to ...

Does anybody know roughly how much for a 4.2 Turbo diesel complete engine and turbo ready to bolt in and go? or what are your thoughts? my car has about 270 000k's on it and in need of turbo. Do i 1. bolt turbo on and go from there? 2. get new engine and turbo and bolt in? and whats a good turbo kit ...

seats look real nice and comfortable. i have commodore vs ss seats in my gq and are comfortable as. only trouble you'll have with those seats is if your truck is very high and you slide out of it to the ground, your ummmm TESTICLES sometimes will get squashed on exit and causes a bit of pain. have ...

yeah it has been hot the last two years we have had it there. i'm just hoping that this year we might atleast get a bit of nice weather for the day.

Dargle Ski Gardens. 353 River Rd, Lower Portland. Approx 25mins from Windsor. . is the old MX track still at Dargle? Raced there in early 80's was a dusty shithole! yeah the old mx tracks are still there and are frequently used too. they still race quite often down there which is why we have to ...

haven't heard of or seen many on nissans, but have seen a few on ford mavericks. mate has one. i reckon if they are well maintained, they are a top unit. but if engine no go than your up s*^t creek without a paddle. i'll see if he has any info or specs on it. PM me and i'll get back to you with what ...

never heard of one of them before. but if your worried about it i would go to your local motorbike shop and just buy a shock boot and modify it so suit. beats payin what nissan would charge for it.

if your worried about it cutting out on stupid angle, ever thought of using a surge tank to prevent such problems. small tank in fuel system that always remains full unless you run out of fuel but should stop surging problems on side angles and inclines.

i'll answer as many questions as i can for ya champ. think they started about 88 and stopped about 98. don't hold me to that though. i'm sure some of them are efi but in the newer models though. i have a 89 gq diesel and with 33" tyres i get approx 600k's to a tank around town and about 700 on the ...

hey champ. just so you know, the model is actually Y60. thats what it says on my rego slip. and my brother in law doing his apprenticeship with nepean nissan confirms that too.

had the same problem with my gq. thought i fixed it real gooda but ended up stripping the splines off the outer axle. costly exercise. best bet is to put something in the wanted section of OL and see what you come up with. might be a cheaper repair than you thought. i'm sure someone will have a ...

u seen mine out flex al those Grimace nissans

yeah but you fell over in wombat holes and i dont wanna do that. but atleast your car wasn't too heavy to put back on its wheels. just weird watchin it though, but was well driven on that weekend.

what about air shocks or coilovers? i would except i'm trying to keep the budget as low as i can so i just though either leafs or coils and maybe just stuff around and make my own long travel or something along those lines. should be able to get some good travel out of either though. thanks for ...

Hi All. I am just starting to build a Budget Comp Buggy and was wondering on your thoughts of whether i should go Leaf Springs Or Coil Springs. I want it to flex something cronic as it will also be a show toy. (so i can park it on weird ass angles to promote my sponsors) Your help and thoughts are ...

i have just put a set of vs commodore berlina seats in my GQ wagon. had to remake all the mounts as using the original, the seat sat too high. but after remaking the frame completely, its real comfortable. only down side is that changing or modifying seat mounts usually has to be engineered, but ...

i am 21yo. i pay $1065 with 65% no claim on $12000 agreed value. 89 GQ td42 patrol. with nrma.

before you jack your engine up, get someone in the car and go 1st gear and let the clutch out to load the engine up, you then look at the engine mounts and see if they are tearing apart. try 1st gear and reverse. i just replaced an engine mount on my gq td42. cost from auto one was $85. easy to do ...

thanks for your help guys. muchly appreciated

i am considering on loosing my a/c unit for endless air. does anyone know how hard it is to change or where to get it done and how much? im in hawksbury nsw.

common for nissans is a wobble between 60 and 70km/h. but at 90 km/h i would definately be checking your wheel balance. as tyres wear they loose their balance. i just got my 33" mtrs balanced and the worst needed 180g of weight to fix it. now drives like a dream.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like a trip to the mechanics is in order. luckily it shouldn't cost too much.

nothin to worry about. mines got over 250 000k's and have full log books and used to tow a caravan around aus. replaced 2nd gear selector and clutch at 240 000k's ( thats what you get for climbing BIG rocks and snapping seconds in the mud. but otherwise its one tough cookie.

you should try putting car in reverse and go backwards about 20 metres, put in neutral and try 4lo again. also check condition of linkages to the transfer, can sometimes cause dramas, also check oil level in g/b and transfer. and if problems persist see your local g/b mechanic.

Mate. don't feel bad. just before x-mas, went out for a play and ended up costing me an engine rebuild. drowned the bastard. bent no. 3 conrod. but managed to drive it home. took out the glow plugs and had a water fight with it. also ended up drowning a $700 cd player, $800 worth of cb and uhf, a ...

Well She Aint Much But She'll Do. Started life as an old couples car for towing a caravan. Basically a 1989 Nissan Patrol GQ Long Wheel Base TD42. In the photo its got 2" springs and 33" mtr's. Now it has 4" springs, rancho 5way adjustables (ranchos are crap), adjustable panhard arms and pretty red ...
