Al.

I though all TD42`s had the same size flanges, the 3 litre ones are smaller.

In regards to bolt points, basicly any ute cab will bolt onto any GQ, MQ Nissan chassis weather it is a leaf or coil cab.
How you would go with wagon and swb cabs ( apart from the front 4 bolt points ) I don`t know. I was only interested in ute cabs when I was looking to do my mods.

The only ...

Is it the pump, or is it the return oil line leaking where it bolts to the vac pump.

Which way are you going? GQ cab on a MQ chassis or MQ cab on a GQ chassis

The bolt points locating the cab to the chassis are the same. However the GQ floor bulge to cover the gearbox is larger. I am not sure if the cab extension was on the series I GQ cabs but its on the series II`s. Gives a ...

The leaf and coil chassis are different. There is quite a bit of work to do the conversion.
If your on the original leaf springs they are probable sagged quite a bit and need to be reset or replaced. There use to be after market sets available with a 2" lift.

5000+ rpm on a TD42 diesel, and you will be going around picking up the bits before to long.

As soon as you bolt a turbo on you increase the stress on the motor.
There is more bang in each cylinder every time it fires.

The good thing is TD42`s can take it.

Diesel auto ute
to good to be true

They were available back then. Usually in the wagons.
Have driven a 93 diesel/auto coil cab chassis with turbo. As supplied by the local dealer.

Yes.

swb_ute wrote:1.Are the body mounts on a 94 GQ ute leaf springs all round the same as the coil spring ute/wagon

If your talking about the rubber mounts, yes the are the same.

Can you tell me what wheel base this has?

I know a bloke how hit Nissan up for one in 2006 when his failed. He had to pay part of the cost but not all of it.

Its a known problem on 1999 and 2000 GU`s.
Nissan do a replacement shaft and gear and there`s some aftermarket ones available.

Why the vavle saver. Hardend vales seats are already fitted.

In what gear and what diff ratio, with what tyre size and certainly not an Automatic (torque conveter multiplication). Rear wheel torque is pretty meaningless unless all these factors are the same as any vehicle you want to make a comparison to. My vehicle has 35's 4.6:1 diffs (previously a 2.8 ...

The TD 42 cam is within 1.5 degrees of the TB42 and not worth. I have a GU TD42 with our high lift camshaft, Custom intake, exhaust, extractor turbo manifold, pump etc that makes 185 rwkW while maintaining EGT's similar to stock over a 12 second ramp on the dyno at 5 klms/h per second. Peak power ...

I recently changed from the .56 down to .46 and added a 3" dump and exhaust and had it tuned by Andy.
By doing this it has lost a little top end power but it's fantastic down low where I wanted it for towing the camper.

Good move there.
To many people go bigger turbos chasing HP rather than ...

I think that with Turbo & lower rev on freeway with 37's it will be more economical. That's my thinkin.....Seems sorta logical....don't know.

Not really.
You could be doing 2000 rpm but the throttle could be open more to keep the engine at those revs.
Think of a generator. The throttle opens to ...

My stock everything TD 42 N/A GQ with 4.1 ratio`s does 2400 rpm at 110 km/h.
100km/h is approx 2200 rpm.

Considering their physical size and heavy curbe weight of these Titans, you think they would have a resonable pay load capacity.
My GQ coil cab ute has a bigger pay load and the leaf rear is more again.

11 litres is what mine takes.
I buy 20 ltr drums, its a lot cheaper.

Anyone got a side view with dimensions?

What sort of truck have you got and how old is it?

Do you get get it regularly serviced?

Are you travelling alone or in a convoy?

Two complete spare tyres in good conditionis a good start, and a tyre repair kit, bead breakers etc.

Good points.

How much off roading have you done lately that ...

Like I said that someone had played with the fuel screw,

Here in lies the problem. Lots of people might play with them but do they know what there doing.

Find a dyno were they know Patrols, or pull the pump and have it tested.

If your going basic turbo then the fuel screw can be adjusted on a ...

As someone said get it to a dyno and get it checked out, there is something wrong.
My TD 42 n/a 400,000 klm, over loaded all the time (diesel fitter) still sits on 110kph easly. It will go faster but after 110 you are only throwing money away. Runs about 15-16 lts /100 kms.

Mine did the same several year ago.
I went to a hydraulic hose specialist and they provided a replacment at about half the cost of Nissan.

I was told the pistons and rings were suffering early wear problems.
This was approx 12 months ago and on the first ones brought to Australia.

I don`t know if its still a problem.

Doesnt quite make them a 'hand grenade' - a bit of a sensationalist statement methinks. I know of some which are ...

Thats a cracker Nutter.

I had some big Caterpiller batteries on charge in a workshop many years ago with a big sign saying so.
What does the boss do, start oxy cutting.
He was lucky to walked away with no permanent injurys.
He complaind more about the cost of replacing the batteries than anything ...

that is correct tony, should be in a sealed box...
what happens when you roll...battery acid to the face and eyes...doesnt sound fun..

I was not thinking of a roll-over but a very valid point.

I was thinking more of if the batteries are over charged, boiling the battery resulting in fumes and or ...

I thought batteries in the cab were illegal (because of fumes) unless sealed in a container and vented to the outside.
