It seems the steering damper is almost seized, cheers

I have heavy steeirng with power steer even when the front wheels are off the deck. Everything appears to be OK but is there any thing to check, adjust grease etc apart from the obvious. Cheers

Yes it turned out to be sticky slides, there was a grove worn around one edge of the slide, sanded it out and rotated 180 degrees and no more sticking. Thanks for your help fellas.

I should have said it was smokin, not steaming. I think you may be right with the bearing idea. I havent done one of them before, hope its nnot a prick., cheers

While in the bush today I lost feel in the brake pedal and had to give it a few pumps to get em back. I found the rear left smokin, the wheel, caliper etc was steaming. I pulled the caliper and disc off and found bugger all. Could it be the axle bearing or is it just the brake dragging? Any ideas ...

I run steels on the gu and have never had a problem, i use a rattle gun and have swapped the wheels heaps. However i do have some spare nuts in the ashtray just in case.

Hi, I got a rear diff complete, lsd works, 4.1 ratio, coil rear, compklete, $250 if ya want it, seville, vic, 0415165577

Wack the IC on which will cool your intake temps so you can crank up the boost which will require more fuel and give you more go, fun, cheerrs

Standard turbo diesel have bracing.., brace away..

Might have to undo your top nuts on ya sway bar too. cheers

Dazza and rvh are spot on. I have a GQ and GU ute and have found that the after market springs are the same for GU GQ though the GQ is lighter and drives shit when i swapped the lift out of the gu in to gq. I used washers to space the radius arms forwards on the GU and could leave the mud flaps on ...

Are the studs on the exhaust manifold for the turbo 10mm X 1.5? Thanks

Hi, i got a 2004 gu ute intercooled turbo diesel 4.2 for sale with 168 highway km on the clock for $28,500. Hope to sell it to some one soon. Hope you find a good wagon..

I just drilled a hole in the nuts and used a punch and a hammer to undo em. I replaced them with the gu set up.

My steel one is 1960 ext for coil cab gu. Happy converting...

I agree with you dazza. I also like the idea of supercharge for bottom end and to get the turbo spinning for top. Its time for more research. I currently have a td 42 running garret 25bb with good power and torque but it suffers down low with the 35s on. Appreciating everyones thoughts and opinions...

A mate was wondering if you can successfully supercharge the patrol diesel in aim to get get rid of lag. Or is twin turbo easier? Thoughts and explanations will be appreciated...

Hey 4wd stuff, where can i find rubber castor correction bushes?, cheers, I like the sound of that...

So are they the same, ive been told they are and they arent. I want to swap the front arms from my gu ute to my gq ute. Will it work? Cheers

good, thanks for that. I heard a rumour that was the case, cheers

Ive searched but not sure what ratio is in the diffs. gq 3lt petrol. Does any one know off hand, cheers.

pisser, so it wont be so fat and it will puff less going up hills..

Looks like its staying there, thanks for the advice, Its worked extremely well. Penetrene and a scotch brite did the trick though it can stay there. Cheers

Just bought a ute and the previous owner has covered the engine bay in spray on fish oil, while it has preserved the bay is there any easy way to get it off easily. Degreaser didnt work... Hope someone can help, Cheers

Andrew at DieselTech is your man. Did my roller and tune and hauls and is more effecient. 97395031... Lilydale

Im running a gu td4.2 with a bb turbo reliably at 120kwrw and 500nm torque. It spools up at around 1400 and pulls smooth to 4000. Speak to andrew at Dieseltek in Lilydale, 97395031. Im a happy camper.

Just wondering if the td 4.2 gu heater core continously flows water or does it have a tap which is controlled by the switch. or is there a flap that just lets the air in or blocks it.
Cheers

Hi, does any body know who can rewind the warn motor in east side of melbourne? Thanks

those holes on the arb bar are shit, they bend and twist the uprights as well as buckleing the bar. i had them fitted there and after a light recovery they bent approched arb about it and they recond the holes where not even put in by the factory, until i pointed out the bull bar on their demo car ...

Looks like its well built though the big metal section is a bit gumby. i need one for a 75 too to suit a high mount. How much?
