Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a set of 31x10.5 M/T's on 15X7 sunnies. A bloke looking to buy them off me wants to put them on an 85 LWB NT Zuk but not sure if they will rub on the springs. Do any of you guys know for sure if this will be the case or will they be fine???

I had them on my 89 WT with no drama's.

Almost, out the back of malaga before it was all factories. Just caused by inexperience, trying to swerve around potholes going way to fast, overcorrected and bang. They reckon it rolled five - six times to land where it did.

I come off with a fractured verterbrae, shoulder blade snapped in two and ...

This was the result of a rollover at about 60-70kms/hr on a limestone track in WA - new years day 96. Stock standard zuk, in fact bought brand new only a month or two before. It was my first experience with a sierra let alone 4WDriving. Swore i'd never buy one myself - since owned two :D I was in ...

I had a similar experience recently as well, fine at idle but would get warm under load or sitting on high speeds. Turns out my radiator was 50% blocked, got it all flushed now is sweet!

This happened to me once while replacing the pin - as mine had snapped as well. The little peice had fallen down inside and was sitting just under the locator/selector bits. After I had removed the top plate I was able to fish around with one of those flexible magnetic tipped things (couple of bucks ...

This will probably only apply to WA guys.

Had a guy asking where I got my fibreglass canopies from but not sure as they were on there when I bought my Zuk.

Told him I would ask around.

Anyone know who in WA makes or stocks fibre glass canopies??

Cheers.

NUGGS.

Dealt with them twice and both times were hassle free. I got a locker and some parts for my transfer imported seperately.

I've heard stories but found them really good

Sorry to hijack somewhat..............................

What parts for your transfer did you get???

How long for the parts to ...

2" is definately easier, apart from what what was already mentioned you will also have cut the transmission tunnel to allow the gear sticks to go into gear properly for a 3" BL.

What are you after, 1L or 1.3??

Surely a wrecker somewhere in Tas will have one. It may just be a matter of sittin by the phone and calling them one by one........................

I recently called almost every wrecker in wa and some in sydney and melb trying to source a particular tcase for my ...

Bought my 5.14s from Eddie at 4wdusa cost was $1050 good value kit is very good easy to install with lots of photos and write ups for the install.Just dont be put of by Eddie who comes across as a bit of a WANKER he had gears on the shelf

This is the colourful reference I had in mind :D

You ...

Just spoke to Eddie still got 1 set in stock

But you guys are right, unless you know him....$1180

Maybe he will give discount if I use Duncans rather colourful reference...........................

Change your diff ratios alot cheaper

Are diff ratios going to accomplish what I am after???

From the little research I have done diff ratios don't seem to be all that much cheaper. Spoke to someone about vit centres and they quoted almost $1000 just to supply second hand????? Calmini wouldnt be ...

alien wrote: the other advantage is if the gears fail i can take them to 4wdUSA to send them to calmini for warranty and not have to deal with it myself. a big plus.

hhhmmm very true!!

How long did 4WD Usa take to get them in??

After phoning wreckers throught out Australia I have been unable to source a 1l tcase with the larger splines :cry:

So I have decided to splash out and buy sum gears :D

But before I do would like some friendly advice!!

My vehicle is an 89 1.3 zuk running 31x10.5. Will never be running bigger ...

It depends what your using for the BL.

Most guys just use the existing studs. I just cut them down, tapped thread all the way up the stud and bolted on my BL block. Then just feed another bolt up from the bottom to hold to chassis, use plenty spring washers.

I recently bought some 31x10.5 MT on brand new 15 x7 F100 rims.

Mine just fits on. I had too take off the 3 rubber stops/buffers and replaced them with sum stick on carbon fibre look a like pads, used on motorcycle tanks/triple clamps under the ignition key etc, to stop paint being rubbed off.

The ...

Still you must be keen, either that or the cheif is paying you big $$.

Were either of them an 1L??

What are you doing up at 6:00am

DON'T DO IT............................................!!

Swap ya one for ya transfer case

Just heard back from the wreckers, no luck, still had smaller splines

May have finally sourced vone in Sydney

Bloke recons it is from a burnt out vehicle, do you think this could be a problem?????

Pretty keen on the calmini 5.14's.

I may just have to bite the bullet and spend the $$$

Nuggs, why do you want this transfer case anyway. Most people would put a 1.0l T/F case into a 1.3l is for ratio reasons. It certainly helps with larger than standard tyres, has a small ratio drop in low range and is cheap option, however most people would buy a lower range gear set to do the job ...

Podge you are a wealth, no, a fountain of knowledge...........amazing ;)

Is it possible......................

Looked at one today, bloke reckons it was out of a 1L, looked like a 1.3, had 4WD switch, yet had 1.3 flanges, even had the fatter 1.3 shaft/yoke hanging of one of the output flanges ...

I must have found the only 1L case in perth that has 4WD switch but........DOES NOT FIT 1.3 FLANGES :bad-words:

Looked at 3 more today.................no luck :cry:

Most from earlier models. One guy tried to tell me a 1.3 case was from 1L .......HA! can't pull the wool over my eyes, Ive been on ...

cheers

Hmmmm Probably not a bad idea if you don't mind.

Where abouts are u during the day??

Nuggs, the 1.0l flanges are different to both types found on a 1.3l ie. N/T and W/T, so yes you will have to change flanges. If you are keeping your existing transfer case, best to take the flanges off it and put on the 1.0l case shafts. Theory is that they will fit on but I've also seen them not ...

Podge,

One last ? ............... hopefully

with the case from 9/83 1l NT (with 4WD light) aside from the hand break drum/flange will the other 2 flanges need to be swapped over to 1.3 flanges as well or will they bolt up to my drive shafts ok??

Thanks again.

Nuggs, your model is equivalent to a SJ413-6. Should have a G13BA 1298cc engine. Your best bet is to get a 1.0L transfer case out of an MG410 Maruti W/T (92-99) if possible but others from 9/83 (w/4WD light) will bolt in. You would have to remove handbrake drum on anything that comes out of a N/T ...
