Outer Limits 4x4 Board

can anyone tell me how the oil pressure guage works on the efi gq? i dunno if the senders stuffed, but some days it sits close to 1/2 and others on 1/4. this is doing 60 in 4th gear. where is the needle supposed to be? and how do you tell if there is a problem?

Thanks

If youre in Sydney, ive got a crab bar you can have for a six pack. it just needs the bolts.

im in NSW (NW Sydney)

the gas man sounds like the go...bit of a trek to Alexandria tho...(I HATE CITY TRAFFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

about 256000ks with gas on the last 50 000.

no major probs, water pump needs replacing and timing cover gasket has a leak.

yeah i thought so. i'll give them a miss i think. the gas man sounds pretty reputable, might give them a buzz. does anyone know an approx cost for this conversion? I have a 100l gas tank and wanted to take out the petrol tank and put another gas tank in its place. And is gas injection much more ...

Gday everyone i am wanting to convert my patrol (4.2 EFI dual fuel) to straight gas, so i rang a local gas place and was told it cant be done because the engine needs to start and warm up on petrol before switching to gas. But i could have sworn i've read about dedicated gas patrols before. Can ...

I have just replaced my thermostat with a genuine one and now it sits on just under half...used to be 1/4. But this sounds normal, i was worrying too.

so it sounds like i need some sort of head job...

driving to work this morning at 6.00, I noticed the engine warmed up quicker than normal, and then kept getting hotter! so i went home and got the missus car and went to work. checking it out this arvo, the radiator reservoir is empty, and the radiator shows no water in the filler neck. I filled it ...

the Unichip can be done the way you want, (operated by the fuel switch on the dash) with a map saved for each fuel. theres a bit of a write up about it on their site. it was in a 4500 GU

yeah ok, but what about the two side bits with the lights in em?

I've heard alot of good reviews about them, but remember they are just a monoform tyre which basically means its a glorified retread. They would be perfect for a second set of tyres for offroading tho.

I use a lubrimaxx ls 90 in the rear. It works fine...still limos up well. i have heard that the 140 is a bit heavy for a sydney climate unless you drive a truck

Im in castle hill, so Liverpool was a bit of a drive. but to save $200 i'll give that bloke a ring!! thanks mate

No worries...i was hoping someone else could confirm that...it was a while ago that i fixed the heater hoses.

Im 99% sure the top one is the entry.

I got my entire 2.5" Straight through system with Extractors for $600 at Carline Mufflers. They did the extractors, 2.5" system (only 1 bend in it to go over the axel) and muffler. Been running better than ever with this setup I went to Carline at Castle hill and they were going to supply a Lukey ...

I have had 4 GQ's now and have fitted extractors and exhausts to all of them. All have had a 2 1/2 inch pipe. Breath and perform sweet. Just got quotes for my new one, started at $630 up to $900. For complete system with extractors. $630 sounds good I think. thats bloody cheap!! what place is that??

What were their reasons? they said the 2 1/2" was too free flowing and needed to be stemmed by a bigger muffler. Also the quote that i got for the mandrel bent system was cheaper than the press bent system quotes by $400 ( from Liverpool exhausts). and current cheapest. I think its cheaper cos they ...

Has anybody done a body lift in a gq (or anything really) that had a gas system? I've read all the threads, links etc on how it is done normally, but want to find out if the filler hose needs lengthening, or wiring neeeds adjusting, and if so does a licensed lpg fitter have to do it?? i only want to ...

Or you could just stick yer cb above a single din unit...

Hi everyone!! I need a new exhaust due to numerous holes in the stock one, and have been quoted $850 for hurricane extractors and a 2 1/2" mandrel bent system fitted. (uses current cat converter). I thought this was all well and good, until alot of other exhaust shops tried to steer me away from 2 1 ...

bloody oath its normal!! i had to pay $100 for 2 pissy little heater hoses cos repco and super crap dont stock em!!!

dunno what that repco ad..."we're into 4wds as much as you are" was about...

i think they are about $2500, however that may have changed due to petrol prices lately. it is definately cheaper. I have dual fuel and for about $70 petrol i get 300 - 350kms and the same on $40 of gas. you use more gas, but its still cheaper...even tho gas has gone up about 15 cents in the last ...

looks good...but what happens to the vacuum for brakes etc??

Just a quickie...does anyone know the power output in Kw for the 4.5 petrol 80 series??

Dont reckon it'd get too stuffy in there? Could wind the windows down 3 inches and put a little fly-screen type setup in the gap.

Does the rubber that goes through the guard go all the way to the pre-cleaner, or is there more 3 inch stainless that we cant see??

Coxy

dunno. depends how long the rubber bend is as to whether it meets up with the inlet hose to the air box. looks too far up the guard tho.

mine are stuffing up too. they make a gringing noise and then a big bang every other morning when i leave home on my way to work.

booked it in to ARB on thursday to get some AVM ones fitted
