Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I just sold mine on Ebay started the bidding at $250,

It ended up going for $1425

I have a white two piece fibreglass top (Flat roof forward of targa bar and back section with windows and hinged lifting door) that I no longer need.

In Canberra $300.

Aren't MQ Leaf and GQ Coil?

Also a wider track, necessitating a fair deal of fab work to get any mounts to match-up I would imagine.

Locrite from Richmond Gears US was only about $200 couple of years ago (despite $700 prices quoted on here). It was cheaper to get direct from US, <5 day delivery.

Works great, as stated above due to Sierra lightweight never a problem on corners. Massive improvement.

Personally I suspect the ...

Hmmm A vehicle which has not been available for well over a decade, but still very popular.

A vehicle which regularly competes (and finishes, often on podium) in most 4WD comps in the land.

The humble Sierra is an awesome little 4WD, it is far more capable than most, definitely cheaper and ...

Don't disagree Alien.

I have seen some $tupid setups which give heaps of flex but very limited driveability. Better flex than standard is required but as you state must remain balanced.

A Zook is light and nimble, lifting a wheel or two is fairly natural, so long as traction can be maintained it ...

i'd tell him to do a 2" spring lift and chop the hell out of the guards to fit 31's... chuck in a rear airlocker and tcase gears and he'll be set for loads of fun.

Or to save $$$ just get a LockRight instead of the airlocker.

In a Sierra there is not a lot of weight so when you get too ...

Oooh ooh !!! I have alway wanted to say this !!

If you are doing this at home, hammer, chisel, grinder, heat etc

If you have access to a bearing press it is certainly worth a try. If you need to pay for the press then it is a decison as to value (ie will it cost more than a new bearing?)

Haven't done a rear bearing for a couple of years, but I ...

It is an Impco set up if that helps.

Should only need the carby adaptor and air cleaner.

And what sort of price are you asking for your system if you don't mind me asking?

What make etc?

Any idea on the carby adaptor, this is most probably the bits I need to find out about

If I have a 4.2 Petrol carby GQ Patrol and I can get hold of a LPG set-up off of a 4.2 Petrol EFI GQ Patrol:

What can I use?

What can't be used?

What will I still need to get?

Seems the 2.8TD has a really bad reputation. :!: :!: I am now leaning towards the 4.2 petrol (4.2D are rare as hens teeth around here and priced way up)

Figuring at least the petrol is cheap, you can't loose too much on re-sale if you don't pay much upfront :)

I figure I will most likely ...

Okay I am defecting to Nissan. Always had the Zook, much smaller different sort of vehicle. I have narrwoed it down to two GQs that I am looking at.

Yep interested in the whole kit (sticks boots etc)

Bigger tyres engineered !!!!!!!!!!! Wow you have it so easy.

I can get everything else engineered but stockies have to go on for engineering rego etc. Engineer reckons it is bullshit too, he has previously certified Zooks with 33s and 34s but is no longer able to do so.

As he put it a bigger tyre ...

They are all expensive (though that is relative to the individual's cost of living).

For practicality the cheap rubber stripping to extend the standard flare is good enough but if people really want something price is sometimes not an obstacle.

When it comes to spending money on vehicles some ...

2 sets of flares = 610 us + 200 shipping = 830 US@ 82c/$ = $1012 + 5%=$1062 + 10% GST = $1169 for two sets of flares landed, or 584/set.


So Paying $14 extra to get what you really want is not worth the effort?

Steve your maths is out 610 +200 = 810 not 830 as you quote.

If you apply the maths ...

That is more than the Vitara Bible, two thirds as many as the Sierra Bible.

And Chris hasn't even finished the Tadpole.

What is the record for any thread in the Members section, this must be one of the most popular builds going on.

If you have the auto, stick with the auto.

You will be creating a lot more work for yourself by changing, the wiring and ECU etc are already set for the auto.

M13a 5speed is the same ratios as the G13 5spd.

The gearbox shifter sits further back (I forget the exact measurement but essentially if you were to relocate the hole in the transmission tunnel to immediately infront of where the transfer shifter is) best to put some bends into the shifters so that ...

Aldi have a welder for $79.00 (or did last week, usually maintain special prices on these sorts of things) comes with the old style face mask. Then you can save for the auto darkening ones which seem to start around $65-75 (Bunnings, repco etc).

Tadpole is looking good.

To get the gears off you can use a gear puller (3 jaw 200mm from SuperCheap about $40) or once agian (though I am not recommending) BFH. You may break teeth, but these are the gears coming off not you new ones.

You don't have to buy a press......................aw shiat sorry did the missus hear.

When I did mine i just took mine into transmission workshop and got them to press the gears on $20, or as others have done some piping and a BFH (just like many do with bearings)

As my sig states I am installing a M13A (Current Jimny motor) in the Sierra.

I am sorting out (or at least trying to) the wiring. Due to the EFI etc it is a lot more complex than the old Sierra wiring.

The Jimny ran VSS so this will need to be connected now to the Sierra. There are a few posts ...
