Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Check the fuel tank breather is not blocked, overnight will draw fuel back into tank causing fuel starve on first start. Also a loose fuel line will draw air into the system. Had a similar problem and this is what I found. I used to loosen the fuel cap, air would gush past into the tank and the revs ...

Try driving it around for a few weeks, it may relax some tension and be a good lsd. You've gone to all the trouble of setting it up thus far, see what happens. With my last gq I had the diff tightened twice, the first time was good but loosened after a short while, the second time was locked solid ...

I run the same walbro pump. I mounted it at the back of the chassis next to the fuel tank on top of the 45 degree corner chassis piece. In that position it is close to the tank and i didn't have to cut any steel lines, just got 2x 90deg brass fittings from pirtek or the likes and some 10mm hose etc ...

I can't say i've seen any "adapters" that bolt to a stock manifold (ie. N/A manifold), unless you are talking about a "J" pipe - which i'm fairly sure any reputable workshop would steer well clear of (as its a bit dodgy). I think anzac needs to clarify which "std" manifold he was referring to (N/A ...

I use a Walbro pump and you wouldn't know it was there, quiet as...well power wise I know its there.

Your motor will rev alot more freely and lose that 2-3 grand stutter alot of them tend to suffer from. When I fitted mine I found 3 fuel leaks from lines which would of been drawing in air previously. I used a 6psi Walbro pump which will flow if power is lost. Its a good mod for any diesel imo ...

Been using the local truck stop Caltex near me and gotta say Ive been getting some good fuel, seems to have more power for sure.

.

Mine isn't turboed ( yet ), but it does go well. Extractors, 2 1/2 exhaust, snorkle, Walbro lift pump and the fuel screw slightly twisted. Want to play with the pump timing a little to see if that makes a difference, get to that soon. Using a good quality fuel is noticable also. The lift pump has ...

I run a Walbro pump on mine, its non turbo but the improvement is definately noticable. With the system under pressure I found a couple of small leaks that would of been drawing in air previously. It pumps 6 psi and will still flow if power is lost to it. As someone else said there is heaps of info ...

Yes you can use the TB pump. The pulley from memory is a bit smaller but that will flow more at lower rpm.
You will just need to mount the remote resevoir, which I bolted to the inlet manifold and adjusted/bent the bracket as required.
easy swap, about 3 beers.
cheers.

I fitted a Walbro 6 psi pump to mine. Instantly over came the mid rev stutter at about 22-2400 rpm. Found a couple of leaks that possibly would of been drawing in air previously. Definately made a difference in driveability, alot smoother through the revs and feels like it picked up a little power ...

Invest in those and I think your user name will come into play.

I have the Big O drop arms with a 4" lift and am happy with them.
From memory i think they were about 800 odd.

What type of oil and filters have you guys been using?.

Have a look at the small vac lines that control the a/c idle up solenoid. They have a tendancy to split and fall off. Happened to me not long ago, coming down a hill and the brakes weren't pulling up as good as normal. Checked under the bonnet and the line was off at the back of the vac pump . It ...

thanks for all the info. when you drilled the hole did any oil etc come out ? I only drilled enough to get about two threads of a self tapper starter. Probably about 4mm. Think I ground the screw first to remove the point. I'd have a guess of the piston being about 10-12mm. Just center punch first ...

Mate i had the same problem but with three of them. The seals are not up to the job and allow water in. My advice for anyone buying new ones is to remove the adjuster, lubricate with a good quality marine type grease and refit the adjuster with sika to seal. I removed and refitted the shocks several ...

I'd be in for a set.

Couldn't do it last time but now I would .

Try pulling the motors apart and cleaning the brush's. Fixed 2 motors that were either slow or not working by doing that. All work fine now.

Could be the radius arm bushes are flogged out. Gives a knock right under your feet.
If they are, best is genuine bushes.

Got my new arms early in the week and fiited them up thursday night. Can really feel the difference from the old set up of offset bushes. Alot nicer on the highway and alot smoother in general having rubber bushes back in. Doesn't wander like it used to. very happy with the product and the service ...

Have a set coming, hopefully should see them tomorrow. Curruntly run a 4" lift with offset bushes , so should see a big improvement in handling.
Will let you know of the difference.

Well i asked around at a couple of place's today and each place was not interested in looking at drop boxes because of the idea of shifting the mounting point. But the arms would not be an issue as they use the original mount. So arms it will be. Probably go Big O arms. Read alot of positive ...

The vehicle is Qld registered but will be moving to Vic in the new year so would have to re- register. I also have superior upper and lower rear adjustable arms, superior adjustable draglink and adjustable panhards. It may be better to run the drop arms as they mount in the original postion and are ...

Looking at fitting either drop boxes or drop arms to my gq 4" lift. Do they require a mod plate?
I'm guessing that as the boxes change the mounting point they most likely would. The arms I'm unsure as they use the original mount.
cheers.

Well, on my n/a TD42 I have snorkel, extractors and 2.5" exhaust with high flow muffler . I might give it a go anyway as I would like to add another filter somewhere down the track. Did you end up putting the pump in?. I have the same set up and have thought about fitting one. I suppose it can only ...

yup. Radiator was removed and cleaned- while i was at it i fitted a new genuine thermostat and new coolant. also cleaned out the ac condensor. i removed the spotlights from in front of the grille as well in case it was an air flow issue. Was the radiator cleaned from the outside only, as in hosed ...

Thanks for the reply's, that's exactly the sort of info i needed.

cheers, alex.

We have been looking at the idea of getting a early to mid 90's GQ 7 seater Patrol as a more comfortable vehicle for the family to get around in, since we can't all fit into the falcon and the girls don't like getting into my dusty ride. Either a carby or efi on gas, auto ( the opposition party is ...
