Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There are no prizes for retarded suggestions. Should have put 80 series axles under it.

and several thousand k's later thank Dumbdunce for his persistence with logical process and analysis.

I'm still having nightmares.

I missed the bit where he put it all together properly and the self
Adjuster winds the shoes into the drum. Also not 60 series, but thanks
For playing.

The leading and trailing shoes are the same.

Ok I am officially stumped. it's taken over 10 years...

1989 60 series rear brakes when assembled rapidly self over adjust until dragging and get very hot. apart and back together several times. everything looks good, but the problem persists. Has had two complete sets of everything put through it ...

yeah I searched; is search broken??

anyone using LED H4 headlights in 80 series? I want to know if they work ok with negative high/low switching. Any other useful info? how many Watts/lumens is enough? Best colour temp? (whiter isn't necessarily better?)

disclaimer: at your own risk:

you can use a chisel to loosen and subsequently remove the special nut, and replace it with a regular nut, it's M10x1.5 from memory.

but if it's overfuelling at idle (smoking, revs climbing) it is more than likely the diaphragm as has been stated. new diaphragm will ...

is it the clutch or just the idler bearing? the bearing is replaceable and they do die, especially if you drive without the air con running.
new compressor + gas + receiver/drier should be in the $400 - $500 ballpark.

yeah my one post in years and I was wrong :/

the only gearbox that bolts to a g52 bellhousing is... G52.

so your options are wide open - get what ever gearbox you want, if you get a TH you'll need a transfer adapter kit. You can try and find a R151F from a bundera or 105 series diesel if you want to keep it manual - need a bellhousing etc.

if you disconnect the linkage does the lever drop to the idle stop? might need to adjust the cable?

thanks

I sourced them in Dubai, from memory $1700 including shipping, I paid on a saturday and they were delivered the wednesday afternoon. at least the Arabs know a thing or two about cistomer service!

they are a pretty rattly motor anyway, they get a lot of backlash in the timing gears

dd, apart from new timing gears, can the backlash be taken out or minimized in any way...

use good oil. any noise should only be present at idle and should disappear once oil pressure is up. there is no ...

try a slightly thinner oil, without the additive - it could be that thick oil with thicker goo in it, plus winter time, is making it hard work to pump the oil to the top of the motor on cold starts. a 10W40 is good for winter.

long story short:

my brother's 2000 Jack had the entire engine replaced under warranty/recall in 2007, recently developed a slight misfire which has become steadily worse. it is now sitting in the dealership workshop, finally diagnosed as bad injector(s) and Holden wants $3100ish for a set of ...

what's your price for 4JX1 Injectors? @ Holden's price..

cheers

Have you had anything to do with these engines? I am looking for info on how far people have pushed them, I will be buying soon a new turbo that should see me at 22psi under 2000rpm.

you will end up with head and precombustion chamber cracks, and problems with combustion product being forced ...

never really figured it out. vehicle now has 300,000km and plenty of noises, and noisier tyres. so it's hard to tell if the same noise is there or not. it has a different rear diff in it now, the last one the teeth on the pinion all fatigued and a couple fell off. otherwise still gong strong. holy ...

a solid pinion spacer should help.

that is part of a package solution but does not make "all the difference" - the factory open hemisphere is also a weak link - it has a big "window" which allows the crownwheel to flex away from the pinion in high stress situations - a locker makes a big ...

what Dave Said - you could just about get it fixed with an air locker installed for not much more than your $1800. are we talking 100 series (IFS) or 105 series (live axle)?

if you really don't want a locker, you need to learn to drive a lot more sympathetically. Reversing up an incline is instant ...

remembering tyre size alone (if box and transfer are the same) won't make a difference to the speedo reading of 60kmh, only to the actual speed (measured with gps for instance).
I have heard of older cruisers being re-geared with 3.7's, so check that.

assuming the same speedo drive gear, same ...

from factory they are very likely to both have the same diff ratio (4.11), so there may be a difference in tyre size and/or speedo calibration to account for the speed difference. have a look at the build plate on the firewall in the engine bay; if the first two digits of the axle code are the same ...

70 series turns the wrong way. pretty sure it is the same as a 60 series box.

just saw it at the motor show. ugly. and heaux meaux.

...I had an accident in August last year, no-ones fault, but after 6weeks of investigation they worked out i was overloaded by 80kg, so suddenly i became the scapegoat and now i have bills totalling over 120 grand ...

dude, you need a better solicitor. and possibly a better insurer, but that's ...

torn/leaking governor diaphragm?

if it has to come off, take the whole truck to the diesel shop so they can time it properly when they put it back on.

200k km can be about right - some go for a million, some need a freshen up after 100,000km. the bost comp might add $500 - $800 on top of the pump overhaul, which might cost ...

...I experienced power increases as a result of fitting the boost compensator.

you experienced power increase as a result of more fuel delivered per shot (and possibly other changed like injection timing, injector service, other elements replaced as part of your pump overhaul). exactly the same ...

I can highly recommend a boost compensator.

Makes a massive difference.

it makes no difference to power. it is an emissions device; it will cut out off-boost smoke and slow down the deposition of soot in the oil but it does nothing to increase maximum fuel delivery.

They actually control your ...
