Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys, I finally sold my car and am back in the market for another Fourby! I've previously owned a GQ 4.2LPG and a GU 4.2L TD and now looking at getting a Dual Cab Lux around the 2000-2003 year model as I need a dual cab for my lifestyle. Just on here looking for advice or tips what to look out ...

As the title says, getting some 36" centerpedes and not sure weather to put them on a 15x10 or a 15x8 with a reverse offset on a GQ.

Any input would be appreciated witch size rims works better with these tyres.

Cheers.

Penrite Diesel oil 20/60
cant find it anywhere...

ok to leave on time and do a few hundred km's then buy at store or wait till 8am till they open?

you reckon it would be safe to do around 300km on it with 9.5l in it?
planned on leaving at 4am tommorrow morning for our holiday up the east coast and called kmart autobarn and supercheap all are either closed of dont stock it.
do servos sell it?
dont really wanna top it up with other brand oils....

yeah i used penrite diesel oil too but filled it up with about 9.5l and its not even showing on the dip stick? :S

Changed oil for the first time on the new GU. 4.2L turbo diesel
anyway I drained around 13l of oil from it, i bought 10l of oil, realisticly around 9.5l of oil was poured in (some spilt ofcourse) and with 9.5l of oil its hardly reading on the dip stick... 2mm if that?

why genuine filters?
its currently got RYCO filters in it and both of them are different...
how would I get the right filters from Nissan cause im not sure if its an aftermarket oil set up or not (2 oil filters)

excuse my lack of knowlege but whats the filler plug?
top of the engine where you poor the engine oil in...?

tried doing a search but keeps saying no results found even for a search with engine oil

anyway i have a turbo diesel 4.2l gu

doing my first service on her and wondering what oil to use

1998 with 127,000kms if that makes any difference

also 10l isn't it?

cheers

Ey guys, I posted a thread a few days ago about what needed to be done for a service before a holiday. Anyway I know how to do a motor oil and filter change but have no idea how to change diff oil front and rear, transfer case, flush the radiator etc etc searched the GU bible couldn't find anything ...

yeah thanks for that mate thats what I did when I bought the car.
not bad, RACV, I think $170 per annum and free towing, if i break down somewhere and they cant fix it i get free closest hotel so yeah sounds pretty good for $170 a year haha

thanks for all the advice guys!

just drive it........... and deal with any issues as they come up, thats part of the adventure Thanks but no thanks, dont think the misses considers being stuck in woop woop a enjoyable holiday haha. The history of the car is all hwy kms, the couple I bought the car off had since new almost and all ...

Hey guys, I got a 1998 Nissan Patrol GU 4.2l Turbo Diesel. Going next Friday up the East coast of Australia with the misses for a camping holiday for 2-3weeks and will cover around 7,000kms. I just bought the car a few weeks ago so obviously oil and filter change but never had a Diesel before and ...

sorry for my lack of knowlege but whats a boost comp? Comp meaning computer, or compression or....?

used to be a government car so im guessing its the 9000lb
yeah ive tested it and yes it works

so while its labouring its smoking, thats normal............. like hell it is. first thing is...is it factory turbo vechile or atmo with turbo added on. has it got a boost comp? smoke at only low rpm is generally not air restriction. check fuel filter. most likly it will be injectors but the other ...

where abouts do I find that?
ive looked at the winch, on top of the bullbar its got a plastic black box with a W on it where you plug the conroller in
then behind the bullbar on the left it says release or something like that with a leaver and thats it.

Hey guys I got a 1998 Turbo Diesel GU 4.2L with 128,000kms on it. I've been flashed and pull down at the lights by people telling me that my car is very smokey. Its most smokey when the revs are down low 1500-2500rpm like going up a hill or something in low gear be it 3rd 4th or 5th and the cars ...

Hey guys,

Ohhh thats unreal I came across this thread, I was literally just about to book a time into the autoelec. I have the same problem I think.... only difference is I installed the stereo the same day I bought the 4x4 and am unsure if the lights were working before hand or not.... I have a GU Patrol and ...

thanks guys
let you's know how it goes

The tyres are Mickey Thompson Baja Claws 35x12.5x15 on 15x8 reverse offset (Wombat Offroad) rims. And the car is a 1998 Nissan Patrol GU, DX 4.2L NA Diesel

I'm picking up a 1998 GU Patrol DX this week and I have some 35x12.5x15 Baja Claws, I THINK I remember reading somewhere that 16" are minimum on the GU so therefore just wondering weather the tyres I have will fit or not? And suspension isn't an issue as it has a 6" suspension lift Thanks guys

turbo the na diesel?
are the na diesels shit are they?
how much would it cost to do that

what years are the fuel injected?
cause I'm pretty sure my SWB was a carby...

what about the NA 4.2l Diesels?

I've sold my ute and trying to find a GQ LWB Patrol. I wanted to find a Turbo Diesel 4.2L (very hard to find), then was looking at the 2.8L Turbo Diesels, looked at some of the 4.2 Dual Fuel and have found a couple of the 3.0L Dual Fuel.... I used to have a 4.2L Dual Fuel shorty which I was pretty ...

Would it be worth looking into the GU's with new motor/turbo's etc?
been looking on Carsales and theres a handfull there with 200-300k kms with new/rebuilt motors and turbos?
