Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cool, some of the FC101 guys have talked about using a nissan box as its a fairly easy near bolt in job.

Hi Ken, over at AULRO Bill Larman mentioned that they used to use toyota FJ boxes on series vehicles or even P38 Rangie boxes.
Either way i think you'd be better off searching on there.

Poly is better for the panhard than rubber, most rovers leak oil onto them so the rubber deteriorates.
I would not use poly bushes any where else.

A trailer builder may be able to supply but most likely you will need to get the sheet folded.

Fuel pressure is fine at both ends, pressure at rail and at return line to tank. Key was in for maybe 20mins last night while i was trying to get some software to detect my USB OBDII cable. if you have a smart phone... torque2 and cheap ebay bluetooth dongle - slow to 'pick up' but will read all ...

OK - you have a strong spark. Does it fire at the right time? (Cam angle sensor/ slipped cam belt) Are your spark plugs clean and are the insulators OK? (This would probably cause mis-fire on one or two cylinders but it would still run). You said earlier that you had fuel pressure. Is it the ...

Good strong spark so this just leaves the lack of injector firing, i gonna have to throw my arms up and take it to a workshop - dont want to play with this anymore, i have a few other vehicles i'd rather spend time on.

Not yet, will be working on it tomorrow no doubt.

I totally agree with your sentiments. Long gone are the days when you could turn remove the distributor cap, the ignition on and flick the points open to see if you had a spark. I dread the day when my vehicle fails to proceed. Where do you begin? It is OK if you are within reach of help, but if ...

An engine needs spark and fuel to run. It needs the spark to be good and strong. It also needs the spark to occur at the right time. It needs the fuel in the correct mixture. On top of all that, you need good compression. Simple to sort out this problem isn't it? If you have spark and your fuel ...

Any one here use a diagnostic program on there consult2 compatible Nissan ?

You say it had a grumble. That is a start (pardon the pun). You obviously have fuel pressure. Whether it is the correct pressure or not is not known at this stage. Maybe check this out first. No idea as to what it should be, but typically around 180 kPa would be my first guess. The next thing would ...

So you have fuel at the rail. Have you checked for spark? If you have spark buy (or borrow if you can) a noid tester to check for injector pulse. Like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-piece-Noid-Light-IAC-Test-Tools-Electronic-Fuel-Injection-EFI-Test-Kit-Case-/131009643670?pt=AU_Car_Parts ...

Does the vehicle have an immobiliser? If it does, this may prevent the injectors from firing. Check for fault codes on the diagnostic connector. That would work if i can find a freeware program with full functionality, nissan datascan connects to the ecu but as a free version you cant run any ...

Not sure if this should be in the nissan forum or not but thought i would get a bigger audience here, wife has a 2002 N16 1.8L pulsar with just under 100k on the clock. Last friday it just wouldnt start, engine cranks over no problem and my first suspect was the fuel filter which i repalced sunday ...

Lucky you were going slow, a mate had his 35" simex fly past him at over 100kph going over a dual carriageway and not hitting another vehicle and coming to rest against some ones back fence.

Nice truck, i would love a shorty ute .

whats peoples oppinions on what size tyre to run, i had my heart set on 37's but am a bit worried about breaking the diffs and having to upgrade to gu gear. also i want to run minimal lift with no rubbing for high speed jumps etc (car is lifted 2 inch now and hoping to not go higher than that) i ...

The P76 used to be a popular swap as its a bolt in job with a few mods, now its fitting a later 4/4.6ltr from a P38 rangie.
Some like their diesels so the isuzu 3.9 4BD1 is also popular or a 300TDI from a disco/defender.
Big power means ford or gm engines or supercharging a rover V8.

A 3.5 disco is pretty low tech so $650 for a service is a rip off, if you cant change oils and replace filters then i wouldnt have bought a 19 yo 4wd. I would find a local workshop who can service it for you for probably half that or have a crack and do it yourself.

Then burn the worthless piece of jap crap for the insurance and buy a better rover.

Congrats, you bought a vehicle that will never live up to a D3 , what were you thinking.

I have a booster off 89 i believe, post up a pic so we can see if its the same as there was a change at some stage.

gday. As the title suggests im throwing a bigblock 440 mopar into a rangie, have also fitted patrol diffs, you should be able to read it here http://www.moparmarketforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=24007&p=274421#p274421" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or if you cant let me know ...

The split fold seats from a late RRC will fit as i have seen them in a 2dr rangie, D1's might even fit too with the right bracketry.

Nissan entrails are garbage and farken ugly, i'd go a Subaru outback , suzi vitara or outlander .

Yes it was BBM Rick, he used spacers to get the right track , pity they are too narrow as they are just about scrap value now.

4.11's for 33's are about right .

Hi, Looking at changing the ring and pinions on front and rear diffs. Running 33's on my rangie with zf/LT230 and finding it a bit sluggish on the highway. The standard 3.54 ratio's I believe need changing. I am considering the KAM 3.8 or KAM 4.11 Ring and Pinions. Which would you suggest? Dare i ...
