Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day all,

A mate and I were just having a discussion and he reckons the internals of the TD42T GU is stronger than the TD42Ti GU i.e. Rods etc. Does anyone know if this is true??

Cheers

G'day,

I'm chasing some custom heavy duty side steps / sliders to help protect my sills. I would like them to be bolt on only, vehicle is an 04 GU Wagon.

Does anyone know of a business that does good work in the Brisbane area?

I've had a search on here with not too much luck.

Thanks in advance.

Hey digger,

I know someone that will take the thing off your hands if it doesn't work out.

Just a thought we could try the 35's on mine if you want then you know they'll fit.....and if they do I'm not given em back!

G'day,

I have an 04 TD6 GU wagon with OME 2" springs and N29/N19 shocks.
Just wanted to know if these shocks could take much more of a spring lift without restricting travel?

Thinking of going to a 3" or 4" lift.

Just out of interest, does the rear wheel bearings on a GU Patrol Wagon (Semi-Floating) run in diff oil or are they lubricated by grease?

Have done a search but could'nt find the answer.

Cheers

G'day Weeman,

Thats what I thought too!

As you say maybe injectors done at 100K but to remove and check injector pump for worn parts??? not sure on that one.

Whats the max exhaust gas temp you run on yours? I heard 520 after the turbo is a safe limit.

chunderlicious,
Do you have any contact details for Mike Topfer? I have searchd in the Yellow pages and on google and can,t come up with anything.

Thanks for the reply,

What did 4x4 excellence do to your ute?
Do either of the places you mentioned have a dyno?

Cheers

Hey Guys,

I have had a search on the archives - plenty of info about places down in Victoria and NSW but not a lot mentioned up hear.

What I'm after is someone to increase the boost to 12psi and tune the fuel / air ratio's etc. The vehicle already has a 3" mandrel bent exhaust and dump.

Not ...

Sorry, it is a wagon.

G'day All,

I have been looking for a GU 4.2L TDI Patrol for a while now and haven't had any luck so far.

I 'm now dealing with a broker who has found an 05 4.2TDI DX patrol. It comes with a steel winch bar with winch, has 43000Ks and looks very tidy. He wants 46K drive away.

Is this too dear ...

Thanks mate.

There are a couple on Carsales that are around the 39K mark one of which is the TD6 it has about 70K kms and looks clean. Trouble is I'm not sure if I should look at these or wait to get a bit of a feel to see what is out there.

Is that what you would expect to pay for a factory ...

G'day,

Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on finding a second hand 4.2 TD GU wagon (preferably 2003 onwards) in Brisbane area. Have looked on the usual websites (ie. carsales, carsguide, carpoint) etc, and around a few yards, but there doesn't seem to be much around. Is there anywhere ...

Thanks for the replies fellas.

I take it from whats been said the 3.0l and the 4.2l are the same apart from slightly different ratios???

Was just reading an old post and someone said that the 3.0 and 4.2 GU gear boxes were the same. I thought this to, untill recently seeing a nissan brochure which listed the to boxes as having different ratios.
Is this the only difference?

Also on the topic is the GU 4.2 box different to the GQ 4.2 ...
