Hey guys,
I Need some advice on a carbi set up for me MQ swb 350 plz. I currently have a Quadi on it which was fine on the 307 for the 20 mins of drivin time but on the bigger cube engine its not liking it to much. The motor has edlebrock performer manifold,1 inch spacer and a mild cam (slight ...

Thanx guys, Ill try and get some pics and details of the type of M/C and S/C im running and the bore size also.


I understand what ya say'n Kingy about the rod length but the thrust bearing should only have a mm or 2 spacing between it and the pressure plate fins so shortening the rod would pull ...

Hows things Kingy,thanx mate for ya advise.Ive checked the pedel box and rod and it appears to be ok.
The main problem im having is way to much push on the fork,the pressure plate fins push into the clutch plate.I backed the adjustment on the rod right back and thats when the slave piston poped out ...

Hi gents, need some advise on clutch set ups in MQ swb's with v8 conversions.
As most of you already know i rebuilt the red rig with the 307 chev and on the test run i could'nt get any gears.I put it back the exact way it was removed so i assumed that the diaphram in the pressure plate may have ...

Ive seen the video of that silver and blue shadow tone GQ getn up on two wheels,have a look inside and see how many arabs you can count.
There would be at least 10+,counter balance preccedures at its best.

Mine does the same Slacker,i pulled it apart and cleaned off all the crap then lubricated it all.Worst thing i ever did .

Yeh Nischev thats what i was told also,I asume your rig was a diesel in its prior life yes?
I have a complete L28 box handy so im trying to explore all options before i go hack on the lot.
Thanx

Thanx guys,its all starting to make sence now.Im getting so much different info and im getting so dam confused .
Kingy i need some more info from you plz,As you have said the five speed is the way to go, i totaly agree but do they mount to the original gearbox/transfer mounts as i dont want to ...

Help please,change of plans once again
Just another question for those of you that may know.
I spoke to a gentlemen at DELOW automotive last week cos i would like to put a chev in me black diesel rig,but i dont want it that close to the fire wall if it can be helped.He told me to use the input ...

Yeh Slacker my MQ did the same,I believe the AVM ones use the circlip on the cv's and the original ones dont not 100% on that though.Mine actually broke most of the little springs that keep the 2 halves together so they werent locking properly.
Good luck

Whata m*&^%%&FU*%#@ ,So what u gonna do now,or what have you done?
Ive also had a bad run lately,the engine that was supposed to be a 327 is actually a 307 and its not reco like i was told its f*&%#$,40 thou oversize already and loose as hell in the bore(3/4 mm ring gap).So im gettin a 350 now.

Yeh thats a fare difference between them screwy,ill posts some picks of the adapters in a week or so.

Kingy,ive put some pics above of the front tail shafts and the gearbox mount differences between my diesel/petrol mq's.Ill post the pics of the engine and adapter fittment shortly.The adapter is a inch steal plate between the bellhousing and the engine,i have no idea of the type of bellhousing.I ...

Kingy, i need some help plz. Tell me was/is all of your v8 converted patrols petrol before the conversion? or have you got/had diesel shells converted before .I cant say that ive heard anything about different transfer mounting positions between petrol/diesel MQ's before,even when i looked into ...

Thanx gents but i have found out the hard way.The diesel gearbox/transfer case sits about 2 to 3 inches further back than in the petrol version,so even if i wanted to remove the chev donk and fit it to the diesel it would become a huge job,tail shafts-gearbox/transfer mounts etc.It looks like im ...

Hello all ya nissan boys,I just got my self a Mq swb with a 327 in her,as ya's know im currently running the SD 33 diesel engine with 4 speed box.My questions are,
1.Are the diesel gearboxes the same as the Petrol ones,i asume the clutches are different yes?I want to fit the 327 to my current ...

Thanx for the advise and comments gents,ive heard that old man emu are just re badged monroe's.Ive gone for the off road 4x4 springs with 8 leaf rear / 7 leaf front so as kingy has stated "can be removed later" if its to harsh,and gabriel brand shocks.No way as good as ranchos but gotta budget to ...

Not real keen on the spring over conversion,at least not yet anyway.Happy to run just 33's.New suspension will give me around 50mm and i might go for a 2inch body lift down the track a bit.The springs are pretty nackered,they have a overide tipe of leaf on them that bounces agaist the floor,drives ...

Hello all, having no luck in deciding on a suspension package for my swb MQ patrol,yes kingy SOA all the way i know.But ive had many different prices on the kits,eg OME $2500,Off road 4x4springs with gabrial shocks by 4x4 heaven for $1650 and so on.Need help peoples,has anyone had probs with certain ...

Have u fixed the problem yet?
If not try using three sets of vice grips,
1.Place the first set on the rear hose(not to tight it will split)
then try ya pedal,if its still doing it -
2.Place the second set on the passenger front hose and repeat the pedal test and so on,this will indicate the ...

Looks that way screwy.In regards to ya crank case breather,mine had a inch hole in the side of it with no pipe when i got the rig,i saw one on a patrol at the wreckers with no whole and a long steel pipe heading up to the rocker cover(i asume this is the correct one yes) For memory this rig was at ...

I had the gearbox out and replaced the seals and gaskets on it due to leaking,and since thats gone back in i now have a slight leak from the rear of the engine as well as the front of the gearbox.CANT WIN.But not enough to justify the drop on the dipstick.I replaced the front gearbox seal and ...

Ya gona need a ladder of those side steps kingy
will look tuff as though.

Does any one know how much oil an SD 33 in an MQ would burn on average,do any of you guys have any similar probs.Mine has done 260km and only blows alittle smoke but loves to drink oil.
Many thanx for the help
jnr

Nothing worse than a holden with ford bonnet scoops,shame shame.Or a nissan for that matter hahahahah.Great lookn machine,good luck with the beast.

I have an MQ swb and its the same set up,the round tube that the rear breather goes to is open at either end so i took mine to engine bay along side the front breather tube.Abit safer if you play uboat occasionally.
Goodluck
