Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all,

The time has come - flights are booked, December 14th I'm on a plane.

That also means the Feroza and all the spares has to go -

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280179908182

Feel free - there is a lot of good parts there at a good price. I know I was going to break ...

Ya, it is an F300, 1989.

The racks are Rola - ie, they are one peice.

If you want the ski mounts to match, email me and we will work it out and I will post - they are much smaller

Drewe

Only problem with the roof bar is the size - not sure Aus Post will talk to me walking in with a wrapped 4" pole?

Just rust \ bad paint \ interior dying

:(

Actually, am moving overseas, to a place where all cars have their wheels on the left, so the Roza's gotta go.

It will be listed on Ebay for $1 for parts, cause no one is going to buy it to register I think!

Anyway, going now if anyone is interested are

Rola roofracks with removeable ski ...

Also with the changes I can pull the engine out in under an hour

Underestimation of the century! Where did all that Aux stuff come from? Took me ages, probably about 3 :(

Also found bolt missing from the power steering, one of the 4 bolts that holds engine to tranny MISSING, two more loose ...

I think I will take the engine out - thanks all for the advice.

Reasons? I don't really have any helpers to get the gearbox back in - and last time I had the motor out it took me hours to mate the splines for some reason... I also don't like working under the car - I know, probably a wimp, but i ...

thx for the advice all.

Local mechanic wants $350 for the clutch kit (seems a bit exy!) and 350-400 for the labour and misc (machining, oil seal, etc). I have replaced the motor before as well as strip the second motor and rebuild the head - whilst I haven't done a clutch nefore, I am at least game ...

Hey all,

My clutch went over the past two days - started making a clicking sound, a whining sound, and no no gear - fortunately I am home :D

But how to replace?

Do I drop the gearbox and transfer out - or lift out the motor??

I am working at home - in the driveway - I have ramps to put the car ...

Hey all,

Engine almost totally disassembled right now - man, just put all the valves back in after lapping, that is a b*m of a job!

Anyway, my oik dipstick is loose - I reackon that is part of my oil leak problem - a light pull and out it comes (that is the whole sheaf part) - it 'wobbles' loose ...

Just ordered mine from Toyo for $69.50 - fair enuf, they said they should have for Friday....

HAd a chat to the guy, he treated me a little like cr*d again at the start, until I gave him my perspective - he was better from then on it.... His view was the nissan place across the road used to also be ...

"Sticker" is the price sticker... So Sticker shock is shock at finding our a couple of 'bits of paper' (well, more than than, but not much!) cost $250!

I called the local Toyo place - after treating me like I had leprosy, they advised they could get one in 2 days for $67.50, but not without the ...

Just went to the parts store.... The head in the Roza is 'gone' so went to find out the cost of a new gasket set...

You see, I am trying to work out whether to fix the head I have (burnt out valves or seats), or just get a whole 'nother engine...

I nearly fell over - $250 for the TOP HALF ONLY ...

okay mind made up - make an offer, there is also a new $88 bosch oxy sensor in there (also only 4 days use) with extended wiring....

You in Brisbane?

All,

Last week I purchased a brand new set of Lukey extractors and had fitted - painted matt black, they connect to the block and then to the standard CAR.

This week engine has no compression (this is the second engine gone in 3 months. I think my ECU has been running it way lean and has stuffed a ...

Thanks guys

Hey all

http://piston9.is-a-geek.com/piranha/Transmission.jpg


The side of the transmission has 4 bolts on it. From the top

- The top one is a big one like an adjuster, I would say no to this one?
- The middle two are smooth on the outside and have like a massive allen key inside - again no ...

Mine was cracked on the old motor - and the new exchange motor one also cracked, at the top and at the left bottom bolt....

As long as it still 'seals' from oil and gunk, you are fine

Hey all - need some advice.... (as always!)

Since the new engine is in the gearbox is now leaking oil - I think on the join between box and clutch (where the spindle comes out) - maybe I was a bit rough rejoining the two :(

Is there a seal or bearing or something there? Any idea? Gearbox is ...

Thanks all - I will try it hot... I also have an over 1M long steel peice for leverage, but was too confined to get it all setup! Oh well.

See how we go.... I purcahsed the new one (for the last motor) 6 months ago, but it never got installed!

Hey all,

I can't get the @#$#@ oxy sensor out - it is well and truly stuck - had a big ring spanner on it with leverage and WD40 soakind in and all that.....

Heres a thought - Grinder with the metal disc? I can grind about 5m above the nut to get most off, then drill the rest out.... Or something ...

I just installed an exchange motor $1100 plus some bits. Still need one new engine mount. All up $1500.

Would have been $2k with labour, but did it all meself

Of course, now the tuning is to Sh*t and it doesn't run well, but that is just pure lack of talent on my part!

Thats the funny thing that makes me think I have a leak.... Screw is down tight ....

Did a gasket goo job on the throttle body, a *little* better, but still must be air getting in somewhere.....

Hey all,

New engine is in fine (though I think the gearbox is leaking oil!! Well, something is, but not much so anywho...)

IT idles wonderfully - if not a little fast.

Under power though, it misfires a lot. And when you are out of the throttle letting it slow in gear, it does a coco-pops ...

Mine is doing the same thing - also just a new motor 2 weekends ago....

Drove it around a bit, has settled down a lot, but still getting hot - just not WAY hot.

Timing is out a little, but fridn said the water temp sensor to the ECU may not be reading right, causing the mixtures to be wrong, etc ...

Oh man, EC14 and 15 are gold! I'll print them and give it a go before I go home

Oh man, EC14 and 15 are gold! I'll print them and give it a go before I go home

Got the manual in print and PDF (like, the real one!) - drawings are pathetic for most - the only one I can be sure of is the charcoal cannister (in the engine section anyway) - if there is a better pic somewhere...... In the 'replace engine' thingy it just says 'connect blah blah and blah' - about ...

THanks mate .....

My old one had the charcoal canister from the throttle body - this has an outlet at the back of the throttle body for it (F310 thing) - the motor is quite a bit newer than the car.... :)

Pic is welcome! I know it is wrong somewhere, but with 8 lines playing mix'n'match could take ...
