Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I had mine mounted behind the panel in the left hand side of the cargo area. Plenty of room for the pressure tank as well. I believe a rear aircon unit usually goes in there for the arab countries. I had the outlet and pressure gauge behind the skinny little cover at the back...............Pete!

Hey Rhett, just check at the back of your motor and you will see it, about an inch round with flanges either end.

Cheers.................Pete!

Not having a good run with my '05 4.2TDI ute. Problem No 1: Pulled off the highway on a grass verge to do a u-turn. Bit of a rise onto the highway so gave it a bit to get on top without spinning wheels and the left rear trailing arm bent like a banana, deadset 45+ degrees straight up. Had to pull it ...

Hi RR85, Can i ask why the Bogard timer is different? Don't they all do the same job or is the Bogard a plug in jobbie. Not being a smartarse, just interested to know that's all. Nissan told me you had to have some special plug in job only available from them.....at some ridiculous price of course ...

Don't you mean 1-5-3-6-2-4 Layto??? The rotor should rotate clockwise. If you don't know what stroke compression is, then drop a plug out and hold your finger over the hole. You will soon see when it is on compression. If you have the rocker cover off, both the front tappets should be rocking....ie ...

I'd go for one at the wreckers, that way you get all the mounting hardware, hoses etc....... complete fitout.

Cheers...................Pete!

I thought only the ST had full bucket seats and the DX always had a bucket and a 3/4 seat????

Cheers...................Pete!

Yep, had the same problem with mine. If you get a plug in turbo timer from nissan it will apparently fix the problem. Mine is a 2005 4.2 TDI coilcab ute. I have an aftermarket timer and after numerous runins with nissan over it, i cut the wires at the sub tank pump, removed the sub tank switch and ...

$500 for a dump pipe, that is a bit rough. :roll: From memory i think Beaudesert Exhausts only charge about $200. I was lucky and got mine off e-bay for $115 delivered to my door. Thanks for the info TXhog and the other helpful guys, i will keep you updated on what i come up with. I will be buying ...

Hey guys, i didn't want to start a bun fight, all i wanted was some info on stacks which i really haven't got yet! My comment about "all being the same would be boring" was more a comment along the communist lines of all having exactly the same thing, built the same way, the same colour etc....etc ...

'Cos if we were all the same it would be a boring old existance.

That is a nice setup txhog. Looks like you are a hunter, so we have something in common then. I have to put mine in front of the tray because i have a storage box full width and as high as the headboard at the front of the tray. I have a dogbox and crate behind that! That setup of yours is exactly ...

Hi all, I am putting a 3" exhaust on my ute complete with 3" dump pipe. I am going to run twin stacks on it. My question is, after i split the system to go up behind the cab does it still need to be 3" or can i use twin pipes the same size as standard. The reason is i will have to move the tray back ...

I have mounted mine in an undertray toolbox which mounts in front of the rear wheels. Have had it there for years and it has never faulted. Also have the air tank in there. The gauge and air connection are mounted on the outside of the toolbox between the tie down rail and the tray where they are ...

Let me know if anyone wants to sell one of their "Auto Hubs" as i know a guy after one. He bought it with one of each on and prefers to keep the auto hubs over the manuals.

Is there any benefit to fitting an intercooler fan to a 4.2 TDI GU patrol? If so, would it be best fitted under the intercooler or on top. I'm tossing up whether it is worth the effort!

Cheers......................Pete!

Yeah, a lot cheaper than a fry up i guess!!!.................Pete!

Thanks guys, jeez they don't miss ya do they! Expensive little suckers....................Pete!

"White" smoke. Is it an auto??? I remember some holden auto's had a vacuum operated diaphram between the auto and the intake that would perish and suck up auto tranny fluid under high revs. They would blow gobs of "White" smoke and run like a dog. I may be way off the mark here but it's worth the ...

Thanks Andy. Can you recommend a good pyro gauge as i have never bought one before.

Cheers....................Pete!

Thanks for the advice Andy. I played with the boost for a while until i got what i thought was a comfortable setting without, as you say, creating a lot of hot air. 11-12 seemed like the best compromise. I plan to fit a pyro gauge to it to monitor temp! Would the dump pipe be a good place to put the ...

While we're on the subject of Turbo's, what is a safe maximum boost on a 4.2TDI. Mine is a 2005 coil cab ute (37,000k's). It has a shortened standard exhaust with a straight through muffler & the boost compensator has been adjusted (by a diesel fitter) to allow more fuel down low. It has a good ...

So what was the outcome of the diagnosis????

Cheers..................Pete!

Slow Cranking Problem:...........I'd be checking the brushes in the starter motor to make sure they are not stuck and not making contact. I did one in a rodeo a few weeks ago that was very sluggish to turn over with full battery power. 2 of the 4 brushes were stuck and not contacting properly. Gave ...

Try "British off Road" up near Forest Glen on the Sunshine Coast.

Good mob to deal with! Ph: 07 5445 1094

Yes, i would definately be interested as i have a spottie in the middle of my roof for shooting. It would be good to be able to take the reflector off when not using it. John H........... Putting mesh across the front of an intercooler will definately reduce it's effectiveness, the manufacturers ...

I had a 3 pipe PVC tank made out of 100mm stormwater pipe under the tray of my hilux for about 8 years. I cut out 2 pieces of 3x2 hardwood so the pipes sat in it neatly at each end and then sat them on the steel bars under the tray. I then put some small chain over them individually to hold them ...

Listen to the man, he knows what he is talking about, very wise move!...........Pete!!

Mate had the same problem with his 2.4 hilux. He put an extra commodore alternator on it, now he has 2 alternators and all the voltage he wants...............Pete!
