yep my 2011 CRD blew up, melted no. 4 piston, shrapnel went through the turbo, fingered. they are shit, dont ever buy one. What was the cause of failure? Nissan said it was bad fuel, but all my fuel comes strait from the service truck and no other vehicles or machines went down. We were having a ...

I am currently buying a 2010 3l patrol and am looking at putting a chip in it. Was wondering what others were using and what they like/dislike about them, and what they would recomend. So far i like the look of the 'chip it' brand. I like the idea of having a pyro sensor being built into the ...

well 140 on the speedo should be up round the 150-155 mark i reckon so thats enough for me. As for how fast to overtake, its all a matter of timing. Sitting on their arse then trying to floor it and go round is not the go. Sit a good distance back and you will have better vision and a run up so to ...

Thats not towing but loaded up. Was in a bit of a rush so was sitting on 120km/h on the speedo. Overtaking everything, boot in up the hills. Not on nice long flat hwy up north, down to Ravensthorpe, so few more corners and hills. Speedo would be out abou 8% im guessing giving me a cruising speed of ...

I have had the 4.3's fitted and they are perfect. Just drove 600km and it was exactly what i wanted. Havent done any engine mods yet. Sits on 120 on the speedo using 18l/100km. Nice and pokey off the line, but not too short, 1st is still needed, and sits at hwy speeds better. Overtakes well. Heading ...

Cummin 6BT and allison auto. Pulled strait outta an acco. dead simple, parts easy, can be dolled up with parts from the states to make a fairly exciting amount of ponies... Or left as is and will drag what you got allover the country side.

The turbo setup i will be getting is from United injection and its a modified TD05 turbo. I dont know all the specs on the turbo itself, but peak torque around 1800 rpm and nice and flat till 3300 rpm apparently. Not modifying the internals of the pump, just adjusting fueling and timing to suit ...

then put it in low range! thats what its for. my ute weighs 3.1 as it sits, then i have a 1 tonne car trailer, and put the 1 tonne car on, so thats over 5 tonne. and it doesnt struggle on 35s with 4.1s on 31s ive towed my trailer full of wet dirt up the highway 40km, 4 times in a day. estimated ...

One of the boys at work has a Vision X brand 30" light bar and its is freakin unbelievable. The 10w leds have alot more distance to them. Perfect world i would have a smaller 10w led bar with a 3w led bar each side on the roof, best of both worlds, massive spread with good long distance punch, nice ...

Just talked to brunswicks, got 4.3's, 800 for the pair. Gonna pick them up next week.

How am i best to store them? I was thinking i would cover them in oil, wrap them in some oiled ragsthen wrap that with plastic. Or is there a easier way?

Thanks everyone, seems like 4.3 is the way to go. We like to be able to do 120km/h all day, and at least 145 to over take, and sit on 130 at night. Next question would be, where to buy? i see marks adapters has them any others?

Put it in low range problem solved. That was just one example. How come there are so many f*ckn smartarses on here. Its quite obvious this is not the only drama im having. I do put it in low at the ramp, common sense not to kill the clutch, but as stated earlier it struggles on the highway as well ...

My concern is that 4.6's might be too short for long hauls. But the poor ute struggles to drag the boat out of the water up the ramp, with out slipping the clutch, unless i put it in low range.

I have searched but cant really get a definate answer on what im chasing. I have a 04 GU coil cab on 35's with std gearing and std turbo setup. I am about the upgrade the turbo and intercooler hoping for about 110kw at the tyres. I am setup fairly heavy with 315l of fuel, steel tray with steel ...

spacers are illegal for road use. Get offset rims The 35's arn't legal, neither is the 4" lift, but with the canvas canopy on and the stock rims, its not till you get up close that it looks big. So i was hoping to keep the stockies to keep that look going. From what i hear the spacers are just as ...

Wonder how much it would be to build a similar example???

Well i reckon there has to $40K in parts, including the original ute, add labour.......

I wish i had the funds now and not in 3-4 months
That is pretty much exactly what im after.

Cheers

yeah transfering the rego from annother state means it has to go over the pits, but if it has some certificates and the rego was current when it came over they tend to go through pretty easy. Or at least thats what I'm led to believe.

Cheers

along these lines perhaps

just need to suss out whats out there and what cost, spec, condition im looking at.

hey guys, i would love to build up a capable truck to compete in the few comps we have here in WA and use recreationally as well, but my problem is i dont really have a workshop or the skills and tools to build one myself, also the 3 and 1 roster makes things hard. Rather than pay someone to build ...

i suppose what i was asking was, is there any advantage in using offset rims as opposed to wheel spacers? I need either, to stop the tyres from scrubbing on the radius rods at the moment, and i was about to get some spacers, the cheap and easy option and retains to factory rims for a more 'stock ...

Ive been running 3" wheel spacers for over 2 years now and have never broken a stud. They have broken alot of other things though lol Hey I know it was awhile ago but do remember any change to the feel of the steering with the 3 inch spacers? How did the handling change at higher speeds (80km plus ...

i have got a set of the superior remote res shocks on my gu ute and love em. its lifted 4 inches on dobinsosns and used mainly for long hauling through the Pilbara. still got both sway bars, drop boxes. drive through the night for 4 hours down corrogations at $1.25 with not a drama. big washouts ...

Well its booked in to Perth 4x4 for the first week of june, to get fixed and braced, then its on with the new suspension, pickup the tinny im borrowing and then packup all my sh*t and moving to Port Hedland for a year or so. Cant Wait. No real price as such but hourly rate and they have got the ute ...

Well i splashed out and ordered a set of the new Superior Engineering shocks this morning. Then getting the rest of the kit through suspension stuff; 4" dobinsons coils, superior drop boxes, lower trailing arms, drag link and panhards, plus a efs extreme steering damper. As much as i would like to ...

Well i have had some good quotes this morning, Perth 4x4 reckon they can do it no problems, fixed and braced, but no quote, hourly rate job. Robson Brothers and Northern 4x4 both said they would use Cass Jones to fix it, but big $$$ and hard to get booked in. Ultimate 4x4 did one last week, $625 for ...

Thats what i was worried about. What concerns me most is the whole piece that is torn out and the stress fractures coming from that. I dont even know how you would go about fixing it. I was gonna call Perth 4x4 and Northern 4x4 on tuesday, they are about the only one's i know that do any sort of ...

Thanks for that, so it is the kind of thing that can be fixed.

Does anyone know of anyone in Perth that can fix this sort of thing

I was under my new 06 GU ute stripping out some unused wiring when i noticed this http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/BIGDAVET86/25042010014.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/BIGDAVET86/25042010002.jpg http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t254/BIGDAVET86/25042010004.jpg Now i was unhappy ...

Well i still haven't been able to do anything, now im stuck up at fitzroy crossing (getting moxy's, dozers, graders, and my contribution - a fully loaded moxy water cart - horribly bogged in a tailings dam) for another few days then a long drive through the night to do a few days at Newman, then ...
