Outer Limits 4x4 Board

what are the average k's you get out of these engines? i have a chance to buy a 254,000 km tb42 engine. like i said i intend to rebuild it, but i might not need to hurry myself if i dont have if i get a car with good k's on it

Hey all, i am looking around for a new toy, i have only had experience with the diesel but i am seriously considering a petrol gq, i was thinking a tb42 with a little bit of work? supercharged? i am currently looking into getting a engine and rebuilding it ready for the car, the question i ask is ...

i paid 125 inc With filter at dandenong nissan

he all i am curently changing the setup in the mav, i have 2 batteries in atm, but want to change to 3 (2 winch ,1 start) i have a couple of options as both of my batteries are stuffed atm. was thinking 2 optima PC1700 for the winch and a lead acid battery for starting or would i be better running 3 ...

yes but its what you use the car for, eg. ive done winch challanges befor, and the dust that it generated the car was starting to missfire and blow smoke. the unifilter was good because in 20 mins we were all good to go again, we washed the filter out ,sat it on the rocker cover it dried in 5mins ...

most if not all high performance filters you talk about will have a cleaning solvent and an oil you have to put on it,the reson i dont like the paper filters is that in a sealed (no drain holes) airbox and a little bit of water, it actually damages the paper element to the point if you get a light ...

i was giving a mate a hand getting out of a situation, me in my mav and he was in a navara, strap broke caved my rear barn doors,in punched the door lock through the door,and i had to get the wrecing bar inbetween the doors to get them open!

hey all, i am buildng a tray for my gq shorty ute, i am chassing a fuel talk thats pretty much rectangle,and holds about 150l,i am sort of ater a replacement tank like "long ranger",but something off the shelf,not wanting to get anything custom made at this stage,Eg. so i can buy.pickup's etc easier ...

you can always run a few welds up the liner. this tends to shrink them. it has worked on many an engine i have rebuilt.just remember to earth the welder to the liner, you dont wanna damage the seat and have to cut and shim it.

cheers for the replies on this, exspecially the pics

sorry i should have explained better. i have cut holes through the dash, and i can run the pipe down to the floor but it just sits really close to the accelorator pedal, i just wanted to know how close peoples really are.
cheers duane

it was more a guideline. you build to these specs and you souldnt have a problem as they are adopting these rules and regs. well thats the case in vic anyway. but you shouldnt have a prob as stated above,your merely redesigning the suspension,a mate done it on a 40 shorty, leafs to coils, no drama ...

have a read, very interesting. tell you the do's and donts dont's this is the national code of practice http://www.dotars.gov.au/roads/safety/bulletin/pdf/NCOP7_Section_LK_Seating_and_Occy_Protection_3Feb2006.pdf theres a lot of other things on there too. http://www.dotars.gov.au/roads/safety ...

cheers Duane

do any people have problems with thermo fans sh*ting them selfs through water??
i have just heard mixed feedback
cheers Duane.

i just gto an email from someone at CCDA they reffered me to a link on their site that was a minimum requirement for a roll cage. it then took me to vic roads web site and there is no engineering needed for vic. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/35E021C8-0116-48E5-8EF6-BEDFCDF08265/0/VSI28 ...

hey all, i have been searching for numerous days on the net and making phone calls and dont seem to have an answer as yet, i am enquiring about making a roll cage to CAMS specs although i think that CCDA's and CAMS specs differ, CAMS specs roll cages need to be certified by FIA engineers, but i cant ...

befor any one says it. i have tried search but i keeps comming up with (page cant be displayed) on both mine and the handbrakes computers. anyways. looking at a ratio change and diff lock etc. as i am building this up for a comp rig i was wondering whether to go gu front diff or stay with gq, i ...

it used to hit the wheels when i had a mates 32" mongrels on it!!!

i think i got 6" over standard pajero shocks, cant remember properly ,but i had 3" procomps and the spring was still retained tight in the sadle and the shock bottomed out, so i jacked the arse up until the springs only just had some weight on em' measured it, and searched and searched for a spring ...

the car has a 3" suspension lift 2" body lift and rinning 35" baja's
theres no vibration issues at all in the car, i had to fiddle with drive line to get right thou,

of the guards i guess your asking about. wait a couple of weeks and the missus will be back with the camera.

well i was going to be aiming at about 130-150rwkw, i didnt think this was too over board, but i dont realy want to hinder engine life with power. i know that the two dont play very good together ( power vs reliability) but i want to have a good kit. i wasnt sure about the pistons but i had a mate ...

hey all. i tubbed my shorty after having a hell of a lot of probs with the tyres cutting tem selfs to pieces on the rear, tubbed the arse out and now when it flexes the rear tail shaft pops off the splines on the slip joint. i was going to get the shaft lengthend as it is a swb and i had a hell of a ...
