Outer Limits 4x4 Board

All that work and only using a 3-link? Don't get me wrong, I mean anything is better than the IFS setup, but I can't justify the fact that if your going to SAS - why not go the full haul. Cheers, Jayden Its easy to set up, im helping wacko with this and its the first SAS we have done. Long term ...

Yeah hurry up sam, whats the hold up??

Ive just broken my rear locker too and are chucking a lsd into it to get it back onto the road but are having trouble getting the driver side axle to go all the way back in. Its like it needs 10mm cut off the end. Can anyone tell me what the length of the standard length axle is?? Are you guys sure ...

Ive read that they are chopped for the NZ market. They are bought as a full body and the rear door is grafed into the rear.

Was discussed on a NZ forum

In Nz it is to be common practice to fit rated 10000lb recovery hooks front and rear, but does not seem to be in aussie. Recovery hooks make it so simple, no stuffing around with shakles and pins which are usually burried in the mud when you are in need of recovering anyway. With a little bit of ...

Make sure that you check that the adapter faces are parallel, i know of 4 that have come over to NZ (1 being mine) that were not. My dads truck had all sorts of clutch issues due to it being out. When going back to marks we got the same answer as tufenuf, send it back and we will check it. Not so ...

Bj, with your fab skills, i am sure you can piss the vacume actuator off the diff and install a air ram quite easy. You can even make it cable operated. the mechanism inside the diff is just like a gear in a motorcycle gearbox with a fork being the lever. but it works quite well. JEs do i just ...

Check that the adapter faces are parallel. I know of 4 (1 which was mine) which were not.

Ive got a mate that is lookign into supercharging his paj.

What nissan's were these superchargers originally on?

I second that, i do not run a spacer and extended the fan cowling on mine and have not had any cooling issues.

4th time lucky ya reckon???

Where i am in Nz I know if 4 out of 5 marks adapter kits for 350 & 304 V8's into patrols that have been out of alignment and have had to have the faces machined. One guy contacted marks and they didnt want to know about it. They were considering sending it back but buy the time you get it freighted ...

Aust 4wd monthly did a comparo on snatch straps a year or two ago and some of the cheapies were a good buy. Unfortunately some were also sh1t. They also discovered some of the expensive ones like ARB were not that good either. It was worth a read just to find out which brands to avoid. Here it is ...

Doddzee, what are you doing with your spare? I'm just about to start on a new rear end as with shifting the cab back the current cage doesn't fit anymore (so I'm going to sell it if you know anyone looking?). I think I'll still have mine on top of the deck due to the winch being in the way but ...

Thanks guys, decided to chuck an ARB in it will keep the factory locker as a spare for our other safari as i cant pull my mates diff apart to get his one at the moment.

Ill definatly be building up a guard to prootect the good one.

http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/images/albums/Doddzees-Pics/Image001.jpg As in the pic i have managed to stuff the rear locker diagphram thing, i have tried to remove it but with no luck, can they be removed and replaced? They look as though they are pressed in there. I got the thing rotating but ...

Remove it throw it away and put on some propper 10000lb rateds tow hooks in a posistion that suites.

To stop your rope coming off.

Dont use if ofr snatch recoverys they can break if a side load is placed on them.

Like what i see darin, it looks good with the cab shifted back.

What happened to the terrano body idea?

Got any pics of your progess darin?

Im about to start up my VT V8 for the first time in the next couple of days patrolden or hammer did you need to prime you oil pump to get oil pressure when you first started it? I was told that it was nessacary on older commodore v8's if it had been without oil for a wile or you changes the sump ...

Hi nigel, Yes you can reister modified 4wds in NZ they have to go through certification (engineering as you aussies call it i think). A few modidied 80 series and safaris come over from japan and have been registerd. I am unsure on what the regulations in bringing a personal import into NZ from ...

Have you found that your oil temperatures get high with the exhaust in that position jes? My dad has a 350 in his and does not seem to experence high oil temperatures in his with the exhaust running by the sump, neither has a mate with a 383 in his. Im currently fitting the exhaust on mine which has ...

Jes

Why is this nessacary? What can the heat from the exhaust damage down there?

Ill be going with the diesel radiator for mine, Patrol Den can you explane thie hybrid hose?

Thanks, That looks like a really tidy conversion.

Looks like i better start looking for some VR headers.

Your engine mounts look like thay sit a fair bit lower than mine have you bent not the top peice of the engine mount over the chassis rail?

What type of fan set-up have you used?

Thanks GQPatrol V8 looking forward to seein the pics
