Yep, it's the injector pump wearing, you'll need to get an advance plate from Nissan that'll cost you around $60 including a new o ring.
That'll be a carton of Tasman for the diagnosis.

sounds about right , tyres will kill the fuel consumption, I run at vt in the 4runner was a vp and get pretty much the same. Weight is just under 2 tonne and with LPG its around 25l/100k. With 31 on I get 400k's out of 80ltr LPG and with 35's it's down to around 300.

are you using a fan shroud?, otherwise you'll just be recirculating the hot air from the engine bay. I've got a 81degree thermostat in mine , think the standard is @ 91.

Pinion offset in the witchs hat is different as the V6 didn't come out with 4.8's ie: 3.9,4.1,4.3 the pinion bearings should be the same if using heavy duty ones.

I'd say Commo motor, sounds exactly like mine did when running thermos, drives fine everywhere but when the temp starts to rise there isn't enogh air flow through the radiator to cool it down.

Generic ones are alrigh , but you'll get 10 times the life out of the spiral wound ones. The gasresearch should be spirals, just measure the Ohms for each and if there under 1000 you should be sweet. As said before the boots and connectors also help.

Leads will make a huge difference with the gas, especially spiral wound compared to carbon ones . When the engine is loaded up is when you'll usualy notice the difference.

Thats what I like the fact that you can drive and still have the winch winding in without running over the cable or waiting for it to spool in.

Thats what I like about the high mount is the fact that they, run cooler therfore longer periods of winching and can spool in faster than a low mount up to a certain weight then there all pretty much the same, and the high mount is only 15kg heavier than a xd9000. It won't make that much difference ...
