Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anyone useing an electric davies craig water pump or similar on TD42 if so has it made a differance ? pros and cons please thanks .

The patrol carby had an alloy runner down in the secondary throat in the insulator spacer, they come loose and jam up the throttle valve - take off the carby at the base and throw the alloy runner away then refit carby - hope this helps

I have had the same prob it turned out to be the rear diff oil, causing the LSD to suddenly "release". the fix was an additive to smooth up the friction discs the product i used was from holden ask for LSD oil additive it wont hurt the LSD . This is only if you dont already have a locker! ( could ...

Mate i think these engines are a 4 cylinder version of the TD42 6cyl in the patrols ?? if so go to patrol4x4 forum and check out the artical in the GU secton about the TD42 overheating issues and some mods to thermotats etc its a big read good luck

yeh i did mine coming off the cutting at di at the start of the year... caused loads of damage from busting bearings to warping the spindle... bugger of a thing to replace i gave up trying to pop the cv off the axle... i just went and got a whole new cv on an axle from the wreckers lol... One thing ...

Hey, there are 2 oil pressure switches on the zd you can get to the one on the LH/S near the engine mount. VDO do a t peice kit and oil pressure guage kit. hope this helps

Hi ,was just wanting to know of any feedback on the Suspension stuff Amada xtream remote resivoir shocks .
or do you have some and your application. Also what coils and how your body roll is Thanks

Hey i have a few years ago done a mates one we fitted - New camsaft grind to suit LPG , refaced lifters (made it super quite ) but a big job head off etc - Extractors , 2 & 1/2 inch exhaust - dont go straight through not enough back pressure - Hi energy igntion form performance ignition in ...

Check to make sure you dont have a boost leak between the turbo and intake as this will make temps rise and power fall. do you have a pyro & boost guage fitted ? as this will show you things have changed .

Sounds like the clutch lining has gone or stripped / broken input shaft, what make and type is his truck ?

Yeh try performance ignition services in nunawading ,Melbourne vic they sell & fit them - better to send it to them to be graphed at the same time

Mate take out the main muffler and fit just a hotdog - because of the turbo you wont get a realy loud exhaust, do not have any mufflers at all it will be sweet ,this is what i have on my td42 turbo wagon and its a family tourer with a nice note!

Because it is not starting at all i would be thinking there is air getting into the supply side of the pump or fuel filter - did you change the filter ? i have had a filter not seal correctly and did the exact same thing also check the returne hose from the injector pump for tightness or cracks as ...

hi bearbear Is the idle speed adjustable on a common rail zd30 crdi ? if so how do you increase the idle speed ?

Hi paul i assume its a common rail model ? as stated above it sounds like you have a crook injector but it is possible to that it has low compression on that cylinder (i hope not for your sake )if it has sucked up some water and slightly bent a con rod its possible. there isnt much you can do ...

When are the CVs breaking ? & do you have a front & rear diff locks (not an auto locker ) only reason i ask is because most of the time its due to shock loading ,when a diff is open the wheel that spins turns twice as fast so when it regains grip the CV or next weakest link takes all the load .Not ...

Havnt had the same problem but , you have to check fuses with a test light, connect earth lead to a good earth and probe each side of every fuse making sure they are intact also check fusable links coming off the positive battery down to the main wiring harness ( they are prone to getting all ...

Yeh seems your alternator is doing a good job but you must check the voltage at the pyro guage when the fault is occuring . Did you check the earth strap to the body ?

If vehicle is used mainly for heavy towing i personaly would not put it on LPG injected or not, as the valves will burn out due to the heat created when towing on LPG. on petrol it will go forever tho, its a very costly operation to do a cylinder head on these engines ($3500 >) and the valve ...

Best to test the power & earth at the back of pyro and see where the problem is as it may be the power side or earth side . you can use a test light but a multimeter is better as you can make sure you have at least battery voltage at the guage when the problem occures , also check the earth cable to ...

Mate try removing the vacuum line off the clutch booster (plug the line so you dont have a big vac leak) and see if it still slips - clutch will be a bit heavier - if its ok you know its the booster - good luck

Just a thought make sure the bleed nipple is at the top of the donner caliper - ie wrong side caliper fitted causing air to get trapped in caliper if that is ok then try pushing both caliper pistons rite back to reseat the seals - good luck

Hey Guy , I have owned and worked on quite a few of these engines , the main problem with the engine is the cylinder heads develop cracks mine included - (It was never overheated and driven by the wife most of the time ) My thinking is that the alloy gets hard from all the heating up and cooling ...

Have you checked the front wheel bearings for excessive play - the discs will push the pads back into the caliper thus making you pump the pedal to get the brake pad back on the disc , if it was the booster the pedal would be rock hard but not going to the floor .. good luck

Nah , Sell & buy td42 save youself the hassel - eveything different - exhaust on the other side , steer , A/C , fuel pump etc etc etc plus if you turbo it the td much stronger engine. The toyo is a quieter engine tho ...
Only do it if you are up for a challenge !!!

You can get a pump O/haul kit from nissan - easy to do, think it was 65ish bucks had to buy the front bearing from the bearing shop you will need circlip pliers & some vasoline for reassemblie ( stop vanes falling out ) if not get a power steer joint to freshen it up for ya but will cost $$$..

Hey Rugs , Best use the original clutch fan and make sure it is good if not new , Is the fan shroud good (no body lift ) so that the fan draws the air through the radiator ? Do you have any mesh/ flyscreen in front of rad ? Is the A/C condenser blocked ? On a hot day with A/C on mine will get to 2 ...

Sweet thanks guys, we are planning on going from east to west. Been to robe a few times with the boys but the hammer is down the whole time so i dont even bother to look at the numbers on the bowser! will be turning down the wick a little to touring mode on the injection pump and hopefully fit my ...

Hey , was after some rough fuel figures used to cross the simpson desert ? I worked out it is about 580ish Ks . My GQ is a TD42 with turbo LWB , Family on board 4 ppl , roof rack , 148 lt Tank - thoughts on carrying extra fuel ? my fuel figures vary depending on use 10 lt /100k to 16lt per 100ks ...
