The 2.8's blow a bit. Don't worry about just drive it on boost and you'll have no smoke. Loading up diesels on hills in a high gear just creates heat. Mine is chipped and I thought it was rich but it is all good on the pyro and has been tuned like that. You could lean it out but you will sacrifice ...

My old Patrol used to do the same thing. Up hills and on the highway with a load it would climb up to half or a bit over. On the beach doing say 90kph it would sit on a half in 5th gear but 1/3 in 4th gear doing same speed. It is common in the td42 and its just something that I used to keep an eye ...

The standard ones are either 60amp or 65amp can't remember. You can get a range of replacements in both Bosche and Hitachi. Mine was running at about 11.8 volts with spotties and fridge going and worse if a/c on etc. I got a Boshe 85 amp for about $420 and could run all accessories and still be at ...

Lift Kit for 2006 Grand Viatara Prestige V6?
Anyone know anything about availability of a suspension kit for a 2006 Grand Vitara Prestige V6. Looking for about a 2 inch kit, evidently ARB are in the developing stages and will be available in June/July but just wondered if anyone knew of any other. The earlier models don't seem to be a problem ...

I run S13 Silvia but needed to trim the plastic column surround. Me too. These are a good wheel as they are smaller but they are thicker than the standard patrol wheels. The only thing is you do need to trim the plastic rim a bit from the inside edge as it rubs on the steering column surround and ...

Just interested to know about the insurance side of the whole issue. Most insurance companies will insure a 3" lift and 33's and most mechanics will write out a roadworthy for that same vehicle. The way I have thought of it is as long as insurance nows about the modifications and they are happy to ...

Are you sure that it is the tail shaft? mine does the same thing and I had mine balanced and fully checked out and it was not the shaft. What size lift do you have? I believe some gq's can require gearbox spacers and some seem to be ok without. I've put mine down to possibly a rim that is out of ...
