Outer Limits 4x4 Board

still going on mine, had the inner bearing inner race sieze on the spindle/stub axle and had to use a bearing remover to prize it off. it shouldn't be an interferance fit but i can't get the new bearing to slide on and off the stub axle. im going to give it a brush with a steel brush to see if i can ...

when i bought a retail kit it came with a pad with one wire only, but when i installed it i didn't do a 'ring' i just sent one wire front and one wire back. the extra wire i put heatshrink over and filled the end with silicone so it didn't short out on anything.

does the throttle body need to be off or is that stuff safe to go into the intake plenum?

guys, my wifes 06 holden viva is sometimes stalling when idling. i think it is either the auto choke or the electronic stepper motor that controls the throttle butterfly that is jamming. it will only do this intermitently, is not temperature dependent, and will mostly clear if the car is restarted ...

im also re-doing the preload of my front bearings and bought this tool http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-GU-Hub-Socket-GQ-Upgrade-new-Free-Delivery-/300444186832?cmd=ViewItem ...

i have a press but it would be a massive socket to push out the outer sleeve on the readius arms. i think i will wait till tomorrow when the steel shop re-opens and get a piece of pipe and get it machined down to the correct diameter

ive bought a full replacement set of bushes for every arm on my 88 shorty. all up cost about $800 for genuine. ive done the panhards no probs but cant get the old metal sleeved bushes in the radius arms out. do i just need to press on the outer sleeve? what can i get that is the same diameter as the ...

whats the best way to get the large bearing race out? i don't have a bearing puller but am thinking of investing in a kit of sorts. what do i need?

turps wrote:The patrols with a 24v alt fitted as well as the 12v have had them mounted above the std 12v alt. The belt is shared with the factory 12v and passes over the top of the rediator hose.

would that mean to change a belt you need to disconnect the rad hose?

we use 12v trailer brake units on our trucks at work. we centre tap the 24v batteries to get 12v (that way you have lots of amps to play with) we then use a redarc charge equaliser to keep the batteries SOC even.

a 12v30A relay costs about $10, do it right, you will destroy your wiring and existing relay if you try to double up on the one circuit.

pull the airline off the top of the diff?, if that wont unlock it there is possibly something more sinister going on inside that will require a look inside.

the wires that connect into the back of the loom plug at the temp sensor end have a tendency to harden from vibration and crack clean through, this happened to me and all it took was to strip back each broken bit and rejoin.

or use the stereo ignition wire to run another small (say 10 or 15A) relay that acts as a follower relay. then use the contacts on this relay to drive your other ignition switched solenoids.

the switches have a screw in lamp that is about 7-10 bucks from nissan. easy job to pop the switch out and philips head turn the lamp 1/4 anticlock to drop them out.

oil from fingers that touched them when they were installed. whenever i change lamps i give them a wipe down with a tissue moistened with metho to remove residue off the glass, or install them wearing gloves.

was the mental guy with the machete the same guy harrassing people in trakka terrace? on sat night their was a weirdo going to the camp next to us and staring at the girls in their swags. all the hubbies ran him out of trakka but he disappeared into the night.

didn't watch friday night but watched some of the gymkhana events sat morning and then the rally in the afternoon.
my car was out of action after friday lunchtime due to losing all brakes coming down the steeper section of club rally. split front right brake line.
sunday we missed all the events ...

also if you have a diesel it doubles as a low vacum alarm for the brake/clutch booster

me and a few mates are heading up at sparrows on friday morning, what kind of events will they be having and where is the comp site? is it in the park or near the arb stage area?

im putting a lokka in the front next week (courtesy of K rudd) and thought about getting around to fixing my leaking swivels, i looked at this kit on ebay

sounds like someone learnt from experience?

yeah, a non-sober afternoon of laziness to hook up reversing lights, 'why does the fuse keep blowing?' a moment of thought... "oh thats why"

you can get one of these for the trailer, as i have done with my safari.

what size charge equaliser do you have?
the cable on the charge equaliser are the minimum size they need to be for current carry capacity only. the cables are short, for mounting in an engine bay or next to the batteries in a truck.
the bigger units can pull up to 30 Amps on the 24v side, they ...

sorry, i made a mistake

you can use normal incandescant globes and buy different coloured translucent rubber socks that go over the lamp to change its colour

also 24v vehicles from factory run a beesdick smaller cable for everything. when you drop to 12v you double you current on every cable, not so significant for the small things but lighting looms (front and rear) may not fair so well.

hobzees kit that i linked above comes with the tool you need to do them up it goes into a 1/2in drive.

buy this and re-do them.

i was thinking the same, RMS only applies to an AC waveform. anyway i think it is a good charger nonetheless. (is that one word?)
