Re: 4.8 patrol advice

Go a LPG injection system if your gonna do it.

The TB48's are a tough reliable engine.

Only downside is, they have a drinking problem with fuel.

No.

See the switch on the right hand side of the dash that says heat.

Its just a idle up switch pretty much, but only when the engine is in neutral.

Re: change L28 engine with VQ30DET

Not sure on the VQ bolting pattern but the VG30DETT uses the same gearbox as the RB30S and RD28T/ETI.

I have a feeling you will need the front half of the VG30 gearbox and the rear of the RB30S gearbox.

Autometer are very good gauges. Been used in race cars for ages.

They are the gauges to run if you have a diesel. I run both of them on the patrol.

You want the metric EGT gauge (0-900c) and the imperial boost gauge. (0-35psi)
x 2.

Running the same in my Navara.

Re: VG30dett into a Patrol

The biggest VG series motor is the VG33E used in the R50 Pathfinder and D22 Navara.

You could use the front half of a VG33E Navara gearbox and the rear of a RB30S gearbox.

It has to be the smallest rear seat of any dual cab ute on the market at the moment...I was shocked at how small it is.

That being said, the drivers seat/position was the most comfortable out of all of them.

As for old mates comment on Hilux's being better I am yet to see why they are better.
