Couldn't agree more!

The pointy end of the field was tight as - Well done guys. You are all worthy of the gong - but as they say "that's racing"!

Cheers, JK

This is a crock. Get your facts straight before posting such rubbish.

I have been running the 5 rib on the GQ - 315 / 75 R16 since may 07 and now have just over 40K on them. They are wearing well except for chips and cuts from dirt roads and offroading. Still have about 8-10 mm tread depth - started at 13.4mm - at this rate will easily get 100K plus out of the set. My ...

Sounds like the same broad concept but I'm guessing the devil would be in the detail i.e. how the ECU brain works. Also the needle valve injector compared to the stepper injector. Would be interesting to see a side-by side comparo. Cheers, JK Regardless of how sophisticated the microcontroller (ECU ...

The Sequent II system is far more advanced than this. I have been in cab during a calibration run holding the laptop showing the real-time readout from the Sequent II ECU. it is incredible. My system is running about 25% LPG to diesel ratio. LPG is still being injected at idle but at a very low ...

got another price from ace diesal gas conversions at Girraween. He installed the system in my dads 80 ser and a few of his club mates vehicles. About $800 cheaper but I have to find out more about the 2 systems to compare (the non technical guy has to get technical) My dad and his mates are totally ...

So to simplify things for the not so technical or those that simply don't care about the technical side of things (ME). I am seriuosly looking at doing this to my GQ td42 (after market) which is also used to tow a comp rig. I will get more power? cleaner engine? Small fuel savings? a bill for about ...

Worth a read re the legalities of LPG installations... Full article: http://www.gastek.com.au/cgi-bin/engine.pl?Page=page.html&Rec=169 ++++++++++++++++++++++ Did you know that any vehicle manufactured after 2003 must have a emission certified kit? Australian Standard AS1425 this standard specifies ...

around town its still a bit of a pig as it doesnt come on til 1psi of boost, so i need to tune the diesel a little to get more spool as im lucky to see any boost in first, and it takes a while in second too. also feel it cutting in and out as you float around the 1psi at 60/70/80 cruise speed, so ...

When enquiring ask if they supply you with a coc - certificate of compliancy to ensure that the installation is to aus standards. The converters here in Adelaide when I enquired could not furnish me with a coc if I went ahead, needless to say this may be a issue with insurance if something farks up ...

Before averaged 12.68L/100k over the last 40,000km (so includes all 4b trips, towing, beach driving, etc) with normal commute consumption being 12ish L/100k and with diesel at $1.379/L cost 17.49c/km in fuel. First full tank of D+G returned 11.14K/100k diesel and 2.66 L/100k LPG included some ...

im currently looking at the team green auto gas setup on a Standard 4.2 diesel GQ patrol and i was looking for actuall results Would anyone recomend putting it on my truck Hadn't heard of team green til now - just checked out their website and they seem to have some experience in installations. Do ...

Your right about limited ACTUAL figures of these things, good to see. My father has a gas system on his DTS aftermarket TD42 GU with 310 thou on the clock, and he went from avg 7.5km/L to 9 (combined gas and diesel). Mixtures is approx 10% gas. cost him $3500 (44 L tank) less $2000 rebate. Thats ...

$4,900 less the $2000 rebate so $2,900 out of pocket.

Yes dyno incl - 15% incr in power and torque.

I’ve been looking around and there is very little in the way of actual feedback on Diesel Gas systems on the net – only the marketing hype from the installers which needs to be read with a little scepticism as far as the supposed power and economy gains etc. Well, after taking the plunge and ins ...

Thanks Dan.

I’m looking at getting a glycol to air intercooler fitted to my Turbo-Glide aftermarket turbo system.

Does anyone have any recommended diesel specialists in Newcastle area that have proven to do the right thing and know what they are talking about??

Dyno capability would be preferred.

How do these tyres perform off road?

Like an all-terrain... good in the dry, ordinary in the wet sloppy stuff.

Certainly good enough to get you through a tough spot if you need to.

Is there any difference between SWB & LWB tanks???

I have a long ranger 145L and it is great. Can't vouch for the others.

Swampers are DOT E4 rated which is a US approval for road use (and is a 140km/h speed rating). It does not apply in Australia, so as such, they are not a speed rated tyre and cannot be used on the road on a car manufactured after 1973, when ADR's for tyres were introduced. JK - watch the wording of ...

I loved the swampers while I had them but I couldn't justify keeping them given how little I was using them at the time. I believe the pedes will street better (to and from trails) than swampers (plus they will be more legal...). Based on what the guys have said here and also talking to people ...

36/12.5 swampers on this truck. any reason you arent going the swampers again? how did you find them? Pretty sure they will be my next set of proper offroad hoops...but size is the prob.. dont want 36's and dont want 15inch wide 35's lol. The excellent price for the 6 x pedes is very hard to knock ...

Thanks for the advice guys. Much appreciated.

I think I just decided to buy these bad boys...

Glenn Binskin used to run the 35x10.5's on his shorty gq with a GU diff up front... where it wouldn't go you just wouldn't bother with :D That's the sort of feedback I'm looking for :-) I know Glenn's property and the terrain he plays in... that's a good rap. If I get them am I best to run them on ...
