I had something similar, with one of my mongrels

I have read on here and other places about wheels coming off 4wd's (usually GQ's). I have noticed all the Boral trucks seem to run a type of nut lock that wont allow the wheel nuts to come undone. I cant find the exact ones they use but they are the same idea as these. http://www.2020v.com.au/zafety ...

I thin what some poeple were trying to explain was something I have read about a couple of times, but cant find again.

Basicly, you dont get boost without restriction, if you remove restriction from your engine your boost level (psi) will be lower for the same horsepower. I think it applies more ...

It may be more effort than its worth, but could lower the whole engine with new engine mounts?

troylux, how high do the XR6 seats sit, higher or lower than standard?

I put Prelude seats in my GQ after reading a few people on here recommend them, they are really comfy, but sit higher than the standard seats, Im tall and my hair now (just) touches the roof lining.

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 should ...

I dont want to start an argument over something so simple as this, but I find it hard to believe that someone from uniden basicly rubbished their own product.

I have accidentally connected UHF's to 24V and it does not blow the finals it blows the power supply. I could understand (sort of) the ...

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 ...

Here some instructions for you striga

I have had the same problem in my GQ for quite a few years and finally decided to do something about it. The throw out "pinion shaft" was all gummed up, Ive cleaned it up and it slides alot better now.

Can anyone tell me if I need to grease the section with the arrow in the pic below (that was ...

Just a thought and I might be completely wrong, but just say your going up hill with the winch pulling the front down and you end up in a situation where you are close to rolling, unloading the front diff to use the winch to recover yourself may end up causing a roll (diff drops/body raises, centre ...

Change your crank angle sensor (and the connector that goes onto it), I have owned a couple of VL's, they cause all sorts of strange issues (or no spark t all) when they start to play up.

I run a VG30DET turbo on my TD42 and it suits me perfectly, starts to make boost at 1200RPM and is full boost by 1800RPM. These turbos are very close in spec to the RB30ET units, with the exception of ceramic turbine wheel and possibly roller bearings in the VG30DET units.

As cooki said, if you ...

Stick a canary on it?

I too looked at that one. I was told the battery that goes with it is about the size of a motorbike one and the setup is odd. It's there for when you have flattened the main battery ...

$12.50 seems quite cheap to me?

Keep in mind when you fit a turbo timer you give a car thief the exact wires he needs to hotwire your car, all that's missing is the starter, but that's only a screwdriver away.

I agree with the optima..... my yellow top is completely dead after about 6 years, but it probably died from underuse (second battery that was only used for jump starting, running a compressor and very occasionally a fridge) I will be buying another shortly.

One of the best things about the optima ...

Is your radio a TX525, TX560 or TX565? It should have a plate on the back of the radio with the model and serial number etc.

Who is it cooki monsta, my carby needs a rebuild.

If you can find out what model mic it needs, I might be able to help you out, I have a whole tub of brand new (old stock) mics.

... i only have a vl fuel pump, nuttin big. ...

A VL fuel pump can flow enough fuel to make around 400HP, while not physically large they are a big pump.

EDIT:

A VL pump is a bosch 070 flows 130litres per hour at 3 bar

The pump for a swift is the bosch 077 and flows 60litres per hour at 2.84 ...

Grave Dig, Nelso, do you happen to have any pics or hints on how you mounted your seats in your patrol, I picked up a set of prelude seats today. I havn't looked yet but some ideas of what others have done might be useful.

just unbolt the sliders off the seats , drill 2 holes in the inner slider ...

I made one out of a cut up suspension arm from a RC car, already had the tread cut in it and just used 2 grub screws to clamp it to the cable.

the antenna relies on the trigger from the HU. most HUs (ie: non-pioneer) have 2 blue wires: one is the 'remote' wire to trigger an external amp on/off, and is +12V whenever the HU is switch on (ie: constant +12V when the HU is on). the second wire is a switched wire that only goes to +12V when ...

If you have decided that you are going to do make some sort of bolt on turbo kit, why not make one for a vehicle that you cant easily get a turbo kit for (maybe ea falcon?) and run low boost, 2-3psi with a megasquirt (google it) 8 psi is not low, RB30ET's run 7psi standard, this boosts the power ...

looks good, did you get any panel warping from the heat of the oxy?

Ive seen chains used offroad, it was about 20 years ago before muddies were common or tread lightly had been thought about, they worked extemely well on clay, but really chewwed up the track, one of the cars threw a chain at full noise and it really buggered up the inner guard.
