Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If I buy a second hand 3.5 from a '93 disco (had LT77),
will it bolt straight into my '89 rangie that has
an R380 box behind it?
-I want to keep the R380 in the car

Thanks in advance

*do you have something to bolt in??? see wanted

If you cruise I'll reckon you'll come in under 4 tanks with premium <$400

Can you keep up high revs for a period of time, even with no load,
or does it stave out?
Not getting enough high fuel flow?

Thanks all for your input, a guy here said he's had the same happen 3 times, only when really cold (which it was.. -1) with his 3.5. "It's flooded and you have to wait a day minimum or get it out." I pulled all the plugs (which were all covered in fuel), pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked it over ...

It wouldn't idle unless it had some throttle.
Could the cold start injector be putting in too much fuel?
Throttle position sensor good on multi

I don't - Everything's a little dirty in the whole body for my liking
(residue. my maintenance squedule has been a little lax).
I think the filth may be my problem... 1 last dumb arrrrsed question,
What's the sensor on the top left for???[/i]

Looking from the front in

Will it run without the airflow meter connected while I'm trouble shooting?

No I'm not, I've just started playing with everything now, I'll check those
next. Forgot to mention it gets a flooded smell though, so it's getting fuel.

'89 Rangie 3.5 Would only idle cold for a couple of minutes then start to fade away until it would stall. Would not idle warmed up. If you ran the car for only a couple of minutes then turned it off, it would run like a basket case for the next few minutes. Now it wont start... I started it cold ...

Dude- if the truck is goin to get knocked about, dont go to heaps of trouble like going back to bare metal, And if you want to do touch ups ect at home dont get 2pac. If it's easy to get the original white, stick with that (will match door jams/ under bonet ect.) or get the closest white from a ...

Theres a disco engine for sale in miscellaneous... Buy that and rip out the rockers??? All else fails, change the whole thing

4th quickest and I had to do a three point turn on
the left hander because we had a left hand lock problem
And its not my car, , its ollys 8th... pffffft

Go to an automotive paint store, not super cheap or bunnings, tell them what your after and your budget and go from there. Sounds like your after a good rub back, possibly patch up the worst spots, a good clean, undercoat/prime and hit it! Remember, light colours/white hide marks, but keeping close ...

I thought any exaust exiting ahead of the rear wheels was a no-no...
If your engine craps out, it will oil the rear tyre/s then your farrkt

And if you have a wagon/panel of sorts, it has to come out the side so
if you leave the rear window open it wont suck in fumes My 2c

should be ok... double check all the labels,
to be extra safe, let the killrust totally dry/set
before you attempt to cover it with the colour

1 side!

I'd do the other right away

That thud is the sound of pedestrians getting hit as you
mount the footpath

What he said. Just get it running and flog it off!

Can you just leave the thermostat out and try it first?

I use Star S770 guns made by Toolex for acrylic lacquer and enamels. They are a high pressure gun with a 1lt. pot, mine also has an air pressure adjuster under the trigger (very handy). Some 770's dont. I can vouch for their good performance, spares and value, you can also get larger nozzles for ...

:rofl: USE THE GRINDER & POST PICS!!! get the lever in from the back, hooked to the front of the rim, with the tyre/wheel standing up. With the tyre lever at the highest point, flip it right over the tread and it will start peeling. proceed to hit the rest of with the mallet.... or grinder :D

Depends on your budget more than anything... work out what your going to spend and then work out the best most capable vehicle within your range. You did say you'd like to do it up later, I don't know much about the rocsta, but the availability of stuff to do it up might get tricky :? Others may ...

Kinda defeats the purpose of the belt,
but you can put a heavy paper clip on it
and it wont get too tight

No worries for a Melbs pick up... I'm down there a bit,
and all my mates are there if I can't make it

I too would be in but cant commit until after
January Got to watch the budget past
Chrissy... it'd be 4 or 5 wheels for me

Could it just be a mount coming loose or shagged???
I'd just be poking and proding (heavily) in the hope
I'll find something a miss. I'd hate to start pulling things
out when there's no need.

Post 'em up + more action shots

Yep... but not digital once they're
developed, know any tricks to get them
on?

Nice, congrats to them, superb vehicle,
and they were nice enough to have a chat

When I left, ABT was on fire... how did they still manage
a win? Never watched it before or know all the rules, but I
figured that'd lose it for ya

amtravic1... thats decent figures, because of the carby???
Better/worse for power with carby, and is it pollution legal?
Not that I'm worried, mine all about to be flung!
