Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The only thing that has not let go on our upweighted work utes (3.9t gvm) is the motors. Clutches by the box full, transfer cases, gearboxes, brakes, body falling to bits, tyres hitting the chassis, springs letting go, electrical grimlins and all under 60000kays but apparently (according to Nissan ...

Thanks for your help, If you were a little closer, I certainly would come and see you.

The gap between the top of the spring hat and the bottom of the bump stop is 85mm. The Pinion angle is almost flat but it is hard to get a photo of it.

I am not sure what caster angle the kit it is.

Hope that helps.

Headshake sounds like what it is. I know the standard 85km wobble and have learnt to live with that.

I have searched but I am after a bit better clue on a shimmy in my patrol. 99 GU, 2inch lift, caster bushes etc. (its a wear issue, not a lift issue)

It has developed a bad shimmy when hitting a bump while cornering at speed. Its started only a couple of months ago and got worse over time to the ...

We have electric drums and hydraulic disk and drums on most of our trailers at work, The trailers all spend thier time being pounded to the max on corrugated roads.

I am responsible for the maintenance on them and there is no way I will be putting hydraulic on the camper I am building. They keep ...

I've driven a few, drive by wire is shocking, nothing under 1500 revs, So offroad they either stall or have to be drive flat out everywhere. Trying to handbreak start on a steep slope means flat to the boards, dump the clutch and either sit there looking through the clutch smoke or tyre smoke.

Then ...

I was a little disapointed, I have been a few times over the last 10 years and it was probably the worst I have seen.

The trucks and stages were good, waiting goes with the type of event due to failures, DNFs etc and that didn't worry me BUT.

This competition is a lawsuit waiting to happen and I ...

I know of a couple of times where the water cavitating in the waterpump causes the pump housing to corrode out. You only need a tiny pin hole to get the symptoms you are talking about.

The guys above seem to be side tracked - Its for a TD42.
Anyway I have a small GT25 on my GU, seems to work pretty good for what I use it for with heaps of torque and boost down low. Admittedly it looses a bit at the top but I seldom take it over 3000 rpm anyway where fuel starts to run out. Stock ...

I know Kelly do a 33x9.5 15. - could do the trick - I think BFG do the same in muds.

Do you still have the 3 litre one for sale??

Thanks- I may wander down to the nearest Nissan dealer and have a look, 3.0 ones are a dime a dozen, 4.2 is a lot harder to find. they are around $500 new from Nissan for both but have different part numbers, probably due to air sensor setups.

Is the GU 3.0 airbox the same as the 4.2 turbo airbox? Mostly interested in outlet sizes on the top.

All up so far -
$350 for IC, Radiator, Water pump at Suby Wreckers
$80 for pipe mods at local Aluminium Tig bloke
$35 for 2.5inch pipe donut at Truck Bits
$35 for 2.5 to 3 inch silicon adaptor at Pirtek
$21 for 3 metres of heater hose
$50+ for Relays, hose clamps, wiring, steel for brackets etc.
so ...

Yup on dyno- it was something like 85kw on the Deiseltec dyno, its still running a standard, but tuned as much as possible pump which since we have a new baby, will probably be staying like that for a while

I have mostly finished and thought I would share my project for last week while I have been on holidays. It's been spoken about a lot but the only other one I have seen with somebody biting the bullet and putting a factory Water/Air I/C on anything is the Isuzu powered defender on here with the ...

There is a lot of stuff on air/water on autospeed.com

Myself and a mate did mine. Standard Gu TD42. We did the same - my mate is a quality welder which helped for the exhaust and dump and cross over - so we went:
*Garrett GT25 Roller bearing turbo @ $1200 ,
*Steam pipe manifold from the place at Dandenong I cant remember the name of (but there are ...

My muddies on my work 100 series spend 90 percent of their time on the gravel, dirt or rocks around Toolangi. The grip well and I have a lot of confindence in their road holding in the wet, dry, powder etc on dirt and bitumen, even in Toolangi mud.
The only problems I have had with them are ...

There is a GU tray floating around Coldstream Vic every so often with an Exo, Looks a bit more road going than the one above.

If I see it, ill grab the camera and take a photo.

Looks good though.

So are you saying swap both the gear box and transfer, I had a feeling somewhere the gearboxes had different ratios, But 4 bolts on the bell housing and dropping the whole lot doesn't sound too hard. Are they hard to realign the clutch and get back together.

I have a mate who looks like he has done some damage to his transfer case in his 89 75 series diesel. I have another mate who has a 5 speed gear box and transfer out of a 60 petrol. Will the transfer from the 60 fit the diesel and how hard is it to swap them over,

Can somebody give me a brief run ...

Yep - Racetec sounds familiar - mine is for a td42 though with internal wastegate. but simular looking.

Okay - what I have done is new GT25 turbo (I'm not exactly sure which one but will find out) on top of custom top mount pipe manifold with custom dump pipe and straight through 3 inch exhaust on a NA motor

The old boat anchor was making a massive 55kw but running very reliably and efficiently at ...

I got my matched length pipe manifold from somewhere in Dandenong for $800, Ill have a look at the brand in the morning and let you know where it come from.

I have a 99 GU wagon that has just had a serious boost added too it. Garrett GT25, Custom top mount matched length manifold etc.
I would like to intercool it to get the intake temps down a bit and add to reliablity, longevity, boost :-)

For those that don't know - the 99 GUs have a wide radiator ...

Thanks

Be careful with so called toyota/nissan rims - the stud pattern may be the same but the hub hole in the centre can be different making the rim not fit properly. One of them has a bigger hub - I think its Nissan.

If its to clear a less than 50mm body lift, using a hammer on the gear box plate can make the sticks clear pretty easy, And costs nothing. The carpet covers it anyway.
