Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If the auto has the cooler lines running into the radiator tank and the auto is slipping (which it sounds like it is), this could be your overheating problem. I never liked the in tank cooler idea on any car. I always run an external oil cooler for the auto. Has it been a while since the auto was ...

thermostat could be sticking.. but unlikely, I'd more look towards the viscous fan not engaging properly? are they servicable on these cars? I presume the viscous fan is the one on the front of the radiator? It does click on and off when the air con is on, but have not taken much notice of it any ...

I should of stated that the radiator is only 2 years old, thermostat works fine, did a coolant change last summer and problem still there. All fan belts are fine etc.Gas has its own computer and the problem also happens on petrol.New radiator cap and I dont loose any coolant. What I dont under stand ...

Hi all, I have a GU 4.5ltr petrol auto on gas. it will only over heat(up to around half way and air con turns off) in these conditions. only on days 33degress+, only under load (slight incline in road) and/or at low speed in low range up a hill and/or city driving when accelerating. When cruising on ...

ok i want to clear something up when ppl are saying the engine revs more with the lower ratio its not reving anymore than if you had 31" tyres back on, and the engine was designed for that, so no major issues there put 31" tyres back on with 4.11:1 diff ratios and do 110K's up the freeway according ...

Looks pretty stock. I'd be surprised if the gearing has been changed but could be wrong. The auto will play it's part. it's hardly stock it's a lot higher than a stocker as I parked it next to my next door neighbor's stock Patrol & the bottom of the side steps on mine is like a foot higher than his ...

pretty solid engine, is it on lpg? lifters can be a little noisy but thats normal from what i have heard. mine has been on lpg since day one and is still going strong with 127000. I just looked for oil leaks, even idle. They are known to do a radiator and looking at the ks yours has it may have been ...

thanks mate was just wondering, there pretty huge hey, me and me mate did the diff oils awhile back, hes got a gq wagon, and from memory mine took like 9 litres i think and his was like 4-5. thort it was pretty funny at the time This has made me think of another question, will a 4.3 ring and pinion ...

I just read that the after market 4.6s get noisy after 35000ks now Im thinking to go genuine in the rear and after market in the front which means I might as well go for the 4.3s and find a second hand front as it will be cheaper than 4.6s now.

hey ppl I'm picking up my '98 GU 4.5L Auto this week from the dealer is it correct that it should have 3.9 difs as standard? It currently has 2" lift on 31" A/T's I'm wanting to run 33" muds for off road & do transfer gears as well, which diff ratio should I change them to? Will be our daily driver ...

cool

has anybody who has an auto put 4.3 or 4.6s in their truck. Is there any negative effects with the auto?
Cheers

Gu turbo, I will re check my calculation but going from 1725rpm @ 100kph to over 3000 is a huge jump, mine is an auto with a final gear ratio of .694 not .850 like the manuals. screwy, from the calculator I used your 4.11 calculation earlier seems closer to the speed at 100kph and the 4.6 ...

your revs should be around the 2352. Im going 4.6s with 33s but I have a 4.5 petrol auto, so it will be reving around the pefect rev range of 2070 @100kph

never had a nother winch to compare it with and ive only used it once but I think its great for the price. I also drowned it twice and was all good still.

Hi all, I have a 99 GU patrol 4.5ltr petrol/gas.Im chasing down this noise I have ,when I switch off the engine I get this whistle that fades away and also this woowing noise when the car is running. I have found when I pull out the oil dip stick slightly or undo the oil cap filler and relieve some ...

Thanks guys for your reply. I have spoken to Shane and we are going to give it a little time to see if there is any settle after a couple of 4wd trips. There is no criticism at all of Suspension stuff, Shane has been fantastic and Im sure will do the right thing till we get thing problem worked out.

Not in this case, swapped the front over today and I lost another 5mm on the drivers side and it raised another 5mm on the passenger side :bad-words: not sure it I should stuff around with the back now thinking I will be waisting my time. Also all the springs seemed to be t he same height. Thinking ...

Hi all has anyone else had this problem with there GU 3" lift dobinson coils leaning to the drivers side. I do have them in correct (I presume front right is drivers side...) it leans lower around 10mm in the front and 20mm in the rear. I understand the fuel tank is on the right , wheel carrier etc ...

wanna lux i see where you are coming from but I cant justify $1600 fitted for a bull bar -$300 for what i might get for my bull bar.

Hi, My mate is planning to sell his highly modified disco and buy a GU. But fuel economy is his major concern. He thinks GU 4.5 running on gas should save more on fuel than a 4.2 diesel. Is that right? Anyone has experience on 4.5 GU running on gas? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Ok, I ...

Its a non winch Nissan alloy bull bar,Is it possible to have a cradle or something made up to fit in the bull bar, can it be done and neatly and just modifying some how. If so does anyone know who could do this in Melbourne/Geelong and would it cost much?
Cheers

I'm thinking of getting a set of these tyres in the (MF) muddy 31x10.5 which they say are 781mm (30.74)inchs in diameter. Are the measurements they give true? Or do they end up being the 30.3 inch tyre which most seem to be.
Cheers

I want to put a winch on my NJ shorty but i don't want to fork out $1200 for a bull bar to fit the winch. Is there some kind of winch cradle you can buy or is there someone in Geelong or Melbourne who can make one up for me.
Cheers

Hi guys Im just trying to work out this ball joint flip thing as this photo below looks the same as I have now on my car now, apart from the bolts Whats actually been flip and how much extra travel should you get from this mod.

Thanks Guys,
Glenn c , sounds good ,Ima hopen your right If it is what you say what kind of parts would I be looking at?

Yes the right hand drive shaft components, Its between here its moving the right hand inner joint housing and http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i279/Glennb_2006/6-1.jpg And this is the clip that looks a bit mangled in between it all http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i279/Glennb_2006/6.jpg Can it be ...

What happened here? The right inner joint housing seems to have broken some how during my last 4wd trip.Its moving about an Inch, It gives a really bad vibe now when driving :x Could it be bad? It looks like some flat aluminum clip has got mangled in there could it be as easy as replacing the clip ...
