Outer Limits 4x4 Board

You can it's just a reversal of using vacuum instead but you need to trap the air in there or the actuator will spring back and unlock it.

Both can options can be done.
Contact Sudso in the vendors section on the patrol4x4 forum makes them for any size lift.

I'll be on here a bit more often again too

What year and model? Ti?

You do not have to drop the panhard to gain flex, think about the bushes ? how are they mounted? look at the problem area first and that is the drag link ends , these will snap with any more articulation than you can push from a standard panhard mount setup. The panhard does not need to be moved to ...

Damn wish I saw this thread a couple of years ago. I spotted a brand new MQ front housing complete with knuckles etc still in the factory wrapping for 200 at a swap meet.

They're only only a 70lt tank stock. Mine was. I put 120lt Long Ranger in and got 1100kms average on the highway. Off road was better again, around town was worst.

I had the earlier 3.2V6 quad cam (same motor as 3.5) just a smaller bore etc. It was dual fuel too. Went like a cut snake, got 15-17lts per 100kms on petrol, averaged 325kms on 50lts lpg. That was on 33's too. Used about 1lt of oil every 5-10K. I was'nt always kind to it either, I took it on tracks ...

Everything is converted to 12v inside the unit anyway and engels are self switching bar a few of the older models. Will work fine from a 24v supply with the same lighter lead.

Has any one tried a TRV snorkel there on ebay with over 1000 sales so just after some feed back, i no about cheap snorkels air flow etc are suppose to be shit just wondering on info for the TRV ones. i have a 2004 hilux and the cheap ironman ones dont make for my model "supposed to be?" So you know ...

Worst restriction in an intake is a blocked filter!

A GU box will fit into a GQ easier than the other way around. Done it to mine with some reshaping of the GU transfer lever. The tcase lever and mounting points on the gbox is different to the GQ box and lever. The gear selector housings aren't interchangeable but the gear shift sticks are, with a ...

Not compressed air, but pumped air.
The old 12V air mattress inflator does the job. low pressure, high volume.

Sorry but I dont think your doing him any favors by continually trying to fix his deliberately neglected vehicle. I know he's your brother etc but shouldn't he take more responsibity for it? He'll just keep taking the headache to you. Shouldn't even be on the road with brakes like that.

Upgrading your headlights to HID is not legal, neither is upgrading to 100/130 w halogen bulbs. I have upgraded to 100/130w halogens with HD loom kit and the difference is amazing, and does not attract attention like a HID upgrade would. Road cars can get away with it easier as they are closer to ...

The bit about the earth pin is bigger for the earth fault reason, well thats a first, its basically a 'key' to stop you putting it in the wrong gpo, it'll fit a 15A and 20A but nothing smaller. 'IF' it was for earth fault reasons, wouldn't the other pins be the same size? Basically it all comes ...

Some of you guys obviously haven't seen a melted 10A gpo from running a 15A appliance. Safety switches and circuit breakers dont usually trip off from it as they're there to protect from shorts and overloads but turn the heat right up on a 15A welder and after a while of welding that 10A gpo will be ...

Thanx for the help guys. I'm pretty bloody hopeless with this sort of stuff so I ended up running a thicker gauge wire and the problem seems to be fixed! Thanx again. I'd still piss the ciggie lighter plug off and used a dedicated plug for the fridge only using a 20A merit style plug and socket ...

can anyone give me part numbers[ nissan] for the drag link rod ends that will fit into a superior drag link.the problem is the superior ones lasted about 15 months and they will warranty them when i send them back.it only has a 2" susp lift. they told me to go genuine nissan parts but they will be ...

X2 on the attention to rim offset and tyre width for larger tyres. I ran 33x10.5 x15 BFG MT on my Rodeo with more negative offset than normal. The tyres sat about 1.5" out from the guards but I covered them easily with flexi flares. I had no body lift but I did 'cut and shut' the arches of the front ...

You can replace the whole thing except the primer pump assembly with a cav filter/bowl for about $120. I did ages ago and luvvin it! Filter elements are $5 each to replace each time and less waste to the landfill too.

Looking very nice mate but how much is that thing gonna weigh? I made a full length for mine from aluminium and that weighs about 25-30kg.

I don't have one as a cranking battery, I use it for my second battery for fridge and everything else. Where I purchased it from, they said it was the equivalent to a 100ah but with a better cranking strength. (NZ70) From memory it is 650cc. It is Century one purchased directly from them. Century ...

so as long as they stay cool there fine. i was thinking of using 2 B & s cable

I put mine behind the LH headlight in my GQ, on top of the inner guard. Had to remove the snorkel to intake pipe first to put it in though.

I hardly solder at all anymore, there are that many good crimp connectors out there now it's not funny.

If they really wanted to standardize it they'd make it so all wires in the 7 pin (except for the back up and service brake wires) are wired the same configuration in a 5 pin plug. No need for adaptor leads then and no stuffing about when borrowing or hiring trailers.

Give the details about all your suspension set up so you'll get an informed answer? Might be more than just the spring rate reducing flex.

The silvertops in the early GQ's are a bit stronger than the GQ blacktops '94 on (They had lighter pistons and rods so they revved easier, actually went better than the n/a silvertops) The blacktop TD42t in GU's are actually stronger again than the GQ silvertops. They're all tough old motors though ...

Haha. Used to come on here a lot too. Might visit more often again, seems to be more civil now.

200 psi really? Must ping like crazy unless you've backed the timing right off, that's high. In the book it's sposed to be 170psi for a fresh engine.
