Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The big bastard is around $1000, either just over or just under, I can't remember.

'Normally' being the key word. I'm still waiting to hear back from you. You are slipping Daz

Complete Trans temp kit here,

I just got one, am yet to fit it though. Was $245 or something around there from memory. Comes with everything you need.

Says that 150c is the highest you want to go temp wise and if it gets that hot ...

Call Rodney at Wholesale Automatics.

They are in Melbourne, but they are very helpful and will no doubt be able to help you out with what is the problem.

I have delt with them a couple of times for parts and they have always been good to deal with.

As in you want to put on a second fuel pump to feed the injector pump so it doesn't have to work as hard?

I have a 97 HDJ80 and run a Walbro 6065. Have it down the back on the drivers side. Fuel feed line coming from both tank goes in, then comes out into the existing line. So both tanks work as ...

Cheers guys.

I will pass on the information to him, the navara site should come in handy too.

He won't be doing any rough off road, so I don't think any of it's weaknesses will be coming into play.

I am yet to have a look at it, but they are a nice looking bit of kit...I'd still never part with ...

Got a mate who just bought a Nissan Navara. Is his first 4x4 so he isn't really that clued up on them yet and I am an 80 series owner so know bugger all about them. So chasing as much information as possible.

Pretty sure it is either a 2003 or 2004.
Not sure on km's
Is a Turbo Desiel and from ...

SRS are passenger side air bags? or are they side ones? I can't remember.

I have a 97 HDJ80 and it has driver and passenger front air bags, but no side ones.

I thought all 40th anniv. ones had them? mine isn't a 40th anniv. one though.

Could always just get your exhaust ceramic coated or whatever they call it. That will cut down the amount of heat in the engine bay a lot.

Think it is a little more than $750 now, but depends on where you live as the thing is weighs a bit which hikes up the cost when factoring in postage. I paid somewhere around $800-$900..I think...and that is including postage from VIC to QLD. I posted mine down to them to start with and it was ...

I'm not 100% sure what you want, but look on here,

http://www.automatictransmission.com.au/

for their torque convertor lock-up kit and read about it and see if that is what you are chasing, it not, never mind. Think you need to run their extreme valve body upgrade to use it though.

Talk to Rodney at Wholesale Automatics,

http://www.automatictransmission.com.au/

They do extreme valve body upgrades for the auto's and he will be able to answer anything you want to know.

They are in VIC, but are happy to post stuff out.

I pulled the valve body out of my HDJ80, sent it to them ...

I have a 97 HDJ80 Auto and it is brilliant. The auto's are fantastic and after driving a manual and an auto cruiser I wouldn't go for a manual one. For a daily driver an auto cruiser is a thing of beauty. Petrols are cheap, but I wouldn't trade my turbo diesel for anything.

Could easily put a couple of those strip LED lights on the bar.

Strongarm is another good one.

I'm getting a slee bar for the 80 when the boss lets me.

You could get a Slee bar. They are pretty straight forward, nice and simple, no lights though which is a bit of a downer. Very strong and give great approach angles.

You can get them from ATS in Vic.

Around $2,700 for ...

hey mate..

mines a home made jobbie not one of the dobbins one's but works on the same principal...

i run mine with a rear sway and no front and its still very good to drive for its hight... with no sway bars its like a fat lady on roller skates!! but u have to expect that as the front is now a ...

Does the X-link affect the on-road handling of say an 80 series at all? Doesn't make it body roll more or anything? Will still as though you had a normal lift kit?

Also, why exactly does it allow or make for extra flex? Would it work on any size lift? say if you had a 3" or a 2" would it give you ...

Cheers Guys.

I ended up just getting bracket made up and putting it on the passanger side in a gap that was there. Didn't have to move anything around, just used an already existing bolt and then a new one through the guard, was simple, neat and works just fine.

Cheers
Todd

Yeah heard of people putting it in the back where the amp was, but I am still leaning towards under the bonnet.

Definitely don't want it under the front seat.

Might just have to get some metal and make a half arsed template for someone with some talent to follow.

Looking to install an ARB air compressor into an engine bay of an 80 series. Did some searching and found some info, but no pictures etc

Can't go on the drivers side due to the cruise control box.

I know about the slee bracket and manifold but that is getting a bit expensive.

So what I want is ...

What year they start making intercooled 4.2L turbo Diesel patrols. The 99, 2000 ones aren't from what I can tell, but have seen a 03 one that was. So did they start in 03 or in 01 or 02?

Also like the cruisers do they have a centre diff with a diff lock switch?

I think I really should research ...

Don’t get too concerned about the 80 front diff centre weakness. For the average wheeler, it is of no concern. If you plan to run bigger tyres and push it hard off road, you can strengthen it somewhat. If you want to run big tyres 36+ drive it hard and have strength without mods, the Nissan front ...

i agree with guts on that one 80's are great heeps of power the patroll td42 has nothing on the toyota engine apart u can run more boost on a patroll motor being a stronger donk.

i have herd the patrolls over heat in heavy sand driving tho?

patroll hardcore offroad, no questions

cruiser ...

Well I have been chasing a 4x4 for a while, so it has given me plenty of time to think.

I was all on the toyota only band wagon as mates drive toyota's, but the patrol should be just as good. Everything has a weakness, advantage etc over something else.

It ain't like I will be doing anything full ...

The claims true or just rubbish?

I'll take Rubbish for $100 thanks.

The claim was from a toyota driving friend, so just had to find out one way or another. All a part of research.

might be worth chuckin this in general tech, as you will get alot more toyota people in here, so the answers could be alittle bias.

cheers

I chucked pretty much the same question up in the nissan part as I thought the samething after posting it up. So hopefully should get a good range from ...

Just something else I have heard.

Was told the 3L 4cyl Turbo Diesels have more power etc and are better then the 4.2L 6cyl Turbo diesels.

The claims true or just rubbish?

Don't want to start a total shit fight, I just want to get information from both sides of the fence.

The two cars I want to compare are a 4.2L Turbo Diesel GU Patrol and a Multi-vavle Factory Turbo Diesel 80 Series (so 95-97).

What advantages/disadvantages does one have over the other. Weaknesses ...

What years did the GU's come out in 4.2L Turbo Diesels?

Pretty sure they came out in the GU's. I'm talking the wagons, not the utes though.

Also how would those compare to the 95-97 Multi-vavle Turbo Diesel 80 Series?

Do the 4.2L Turbo's have any weaknesses or problems at all?

Just want to get ...

Just after what the actual differences are between a 4 Runner RV6 and a 4 Runner SR5.

Anything from inside to outside. Even if it is just small detail I want to know the difference.

Cheers
