By the way has many people changed the air lockers themselve
how hard would it be or best to pay somone to do it.

Looking into this becouse I know somone who has a complete front
diff for a GU with an air locker fitted, I can get it for a resonable price but just wanting to see if I can put the air locker in my GQ.
Or he might just have to sell it

Can anyone tell me if a front diff from a GU front axel will fit a GQ front
axel or not , or does it need any mods
Just wondering befor I get hold of it.

Is it an electric or PTO version. Both have the same worm drive head. I have one on mine and it is briliant. I have found it stronger than larger rated Warns and the such, have been able to do much longer recoveries with my electric one than any others we had with us. They are very strong and ...

Your SWB wold tow fine, I have towed 2.5t with a SWB and if the trailer is loaded properly it is fine. You could probobly get away with a single axel, but even though you don't have the weight for a tandem, the duel axel will be more stable towing. have you looked at some old car trailers, ther are ...

Looks like more looking for a 4.2, it would have been easy and cheap to go for a 3.0 but for a reason by the looks of things.

Can I please ge some honest information on ser 2,3 etc 3.0l patrols and if they had the problems that the early ones had. need to know if they are a viable option for farmily transport, as there is not much to be had for the same value as them. not interested in smaller vehicles want the patrol ...

it realy depends on how often you intend on using it to run your fridge, becouse deep cycle batteries usually only have a 6month warranty wheras you can by some decent batteries for the same or less money that come with a 2 yr warranty. wouldn't go for the AGM sealed lead acid unless you have a fair ...

Just be carfull in queensland you can only tow aparantly 3/4 the gvm not nessesarily the stated towing capacity, fith wheel with give you more capacity but only if the vehicle can take it in the first place

I think you would find that it is ileagal to use car brake systems modifiyed to work on a trailer. I have seen somone who did that and when they had it inspected were told to replace the axel and put triler brakes on as they are aparantly different. I use electric trailer brakes with in car ...

Go the turbo, but for peace of mind have a compresion test done on the engin, fitted the tubo to mine at 300 000 and is going greate guns, I fitted the Denco swizer kit, fitted it myself in one day and cost nothing like $8k

Also see Brad at tyre works Slacks Creek also knows his stuff, and competes himself, I think there affiliated with fourbys as well.

Ring On Track 4X4 in Brisbane He has some in stock that take vdo guages fine and look faily neet fitted too, carn't remember the number at the moment but he is in moss st slacks creek

how old is the engine. has it been in storage or is it out of a newer vehicle

I like to call the 3.0l a hand grenade motor becouse the longer you hold it the more likely it is to blow up in your face, have known of quite a few first hand that have all blown up. the milage may change but usually before 200,000km

I have since adjusted to fuel and cleaned out the air filter and the smoke is all but gone and even seems to have more power thanks

I pritty shure it is not the turbo as I have just fixed that up, the smoke is pure black and lots of it which is why i am pritty shure it is the fuel adjustment.

just wondering if anyone may know how to adjust the fuel flow on an 85 2.3T dies as the one I have is leaving a smoke screen behind it

My understanding is that it is pre 95 TD42 are the same intetnals as the TD42T but the post 95 TD42 has lighter pistons and maybee some other internals. But it still handles turbos fine, but keep a handle on how much boost you run on a post95, the pre 95 to my understanding handle a fair bit befoure ...

the TD42Ti is the new intercooled motor with electronic controled injector punp, under the skin there all prity much the same. I don't know why people still like the 3.0L my experiance is there still a handgrenade motor and the longer you keep them the more likely to have them blow up in your face ...

Is the V8 allready in the shorty, personally I think the diesels are much better allround, but that is with a bit of money spent on turbo and intercooling, but I know from experiance they can really get up and go with 12psi boost intercooler and the right tuning. if the V8 is allready in the car the ...

How old is the vehicle to start with, it might yust be getting old, sometimes you can yust add some special oil available for the coupling and it can fix the problem.

the 2h is not a good motor to turbo, it dos'nt handle any more than about 6 or 7psi or it can blow. the 1hz is a very good motor to turbo and is easy to liberate HP reliably, however watch the current model 79series as the front diffs are also 100 series and more prone to bust, the gearbox sumtimes ...

You could also use the turbo and plumbing from the inport motor as parts to preform a turbo conversion on your motor, but I am currently turboing mine and have managed to sorce a turbo kit that would probobly end up costing not much more than buying the motor in. I am fitting it myself to keep the ...

Do be carfull fitting other rims becouse the front free wheeling hubs on the patrol/maveric are slitely larger in diamiter than toyota and most of the time nissan rims fit toyota but not usually the other way around, but some do fit. the 16x6 where also fitted to what some called country paks whitch ...

I have a system the same as the ERPS and the such and have found over the last few years no signs of rust even on the heavily stone chiped under side from lots of dirt road driving, and the occational beech trip. I Bought it from a dealer who advertizes usually in the tradeing post but also was good ...

I have heard of quite a few 3.0 patrols haveing problems mainly all before 200 000km and usually very expencive and terminal. at work we have a 2003 model 3.0 deis although it is still running it has had a few small problems such as max air sensors and the such. but i also have a GQ 4.2 dies and ...

Just wondering about advice or companies that can be reccomended for honest and strait forward advice for turbo kits for a TD42 GQ. the pros and cons for water cooled and oil cooled would be most helpfull, as well as maybe a good company to talked to about prices an such.
