Cool, never realised that, I've seen a few pics of hydraulic low mounts they built but never a high mount.

Running an hydraulic motor through a flexible coupling looks pretty odd to me.....have you ever tried the winch already? how does it work with mod?

Never tried it Mate, of the 10 or so high mounts I've bought secondhand over the years to suit parts/repair this one was in the best condition inside ...

I think very short swaybar links is the main reason for disconnects not being used.


Had to dig deep into my Photobucket library to find these. I had a go at extended links with a disconnect for the 80 I used to own. Wow, my welding and machining skills have thankfully improved since those days ...

I'm sure it could be done.

I pick up the odd Warn winch from an almost permanent wanted ad I have on Gumtree.

Here's a link to a thread I started about a Warn highmount I bought for parts which had been converted to hydraulic, never did try the hydraulics though. It's now got a fair few mods and ...

Nissan Patrol TD42T, running aftermarket turbo @ 28psi, water/meth injection 175RWKW

Caltex Delo 400 15W40, changed every 4-5000km, 2 genuine Nissan filters with each change.

Nice work mate, dimple die looks good. I turned one up at work too, having the same issue as you keeping material flat.

The first thing that comes to mind for me with the turbo oil seal is oil supply, I haven't run a Garrett myself but I believe they usually require a fairly small restrictor in the oil line to regulate flow otherwise they get too much oil flow.

Thankfully I haven't had to restart an engine in this ...

Another option is to weld a loop to the drum, I've done this on a mates high mount so the rope is attached in the same way as my Delta-Tek drum, just feed it through and tie a knot in the end of the rope.

I just wanted to shorten the whole intake from snorkle to turbo.

I would run the 4'' snorkle straight through the guard where the existing hole is and into the engine bay, move the charcoal filter thingo and put my airbox there. then one 4'' bend down to the turbo.

Can you fit 4'' down through ...

I'm just running the Patroldocta stainless airbox with the standard Nissan filter, 4' snorkel and the same turbo and pump as yours. Mine was dynoed at 167rwkw.

Biggest improvement you'll get will be stepping up to a 4" snorkel, here's a pic comparing the top of the 4" snorkel to the Safari that ...

The Simex Extreme Trekker and Jungle Trekker2 are both available in a 31x9.5x15

Amazon.com is by far the cheapest place I've found, copied the rest of this post across from one of my previous posts on another forum. Just do a search the for the Warn part No. you need. Unfortunately it does mean a wait on parts from the US though. Mal Leslie would be worth a call too.

Few more details on the last page of my build thread.

I hit it with the oxy first, was still having the same trouble as you. I'd been told that the case hardening was only about 0.5mm thick so I machined about that much out across the 10mm width I wanted to drill. I used a tungsten carbide insert ...

Quick update on this thread.

Did the job a few days ago, ended up deciding to use a M10 bolt, seemed to be the best compromise between bolt strength and material removed from the shaft.

Just discovered the Gigglepin shaft only uses a M8 bolt anyway so I can stop worrying about whether my bolt will ...

sorry for the hijack but who do we all recommend for the supply of a new 6hp XP motor?

Hijack away! New motor will be on my shopping list before too long, seem to go for $460 on EBay, advertised for $400+ freight on Patrol 4x4 by Dave Matcalfe.

That was my only worry with using the M12 bolt didn't want to be removing more material than necessary, only planning on boring in 25mm

Been hearing a lot of good feedback on the lic40, I'll be giving that a go next.

Thanks for the info guys, reckon I'll go for the M12

Looking at the GP site is depressing!

Not wrong there, just been drooling over their gear myself.

Thanks Mate, did think of giving him a call but hate to take advantage knowing that I won't be paying him to do the work.

Hey Guys

I've got a couple of brake shafts from Warn high mounts to drill/tap and machine up end caps for. Just wondering what size bolts others have used for this mod. Have some plated high tensile bolts here in 12mm unless anyone suggests that size isn't appropriate.

Change the pinion flange, had to do it on mine when I fitted 4.6 ratio centres from a 2.8 to my 4.2 coil cab.

giggity!!

How much you want for the motor and conversion?

I run PTO now, and with this perhaps i could just run a variable displacement pump off the PTO box to uncuouple the winch drive speed from the wheel drive speed.

Hey Milo

Not really looking to sell it, kind of keen to have a play with ...

Few more pics of the setup.

Thought I'd chuck a few pics up here in case anyone was interested.

I've been on the lookout for a cheap secondhand high mount that I could disassemble and take the brake shaft away to work with me to drill and tap the brake shaft on the lathe, later on I could then clean up and sell the second ...

bottom right corner of the compliance plate where it lists trans/axle codes.

HG46 is a 4.6 ratio and is what I'd expect the 2.8 to have.

The two numbers in the axle code refer to the diff ratio.

Yeah I've also picked up a Delta Tek drum, standard width for mine though, should be in the post, didn't get mine from Roadrunner either

Gigglepin do a stainless one, not exactly cheap though.

Might be worth sending an email to Roadrunner Offroad as they are the Australian ...

Maybe try an Auto gas installer, looks like a hose that was used on between the gas system and inlet manifold on my old 80 series Landcruiser, when I needed to replace it I went to the local gas installer, he took a look, said that's a ford part and pulled one one from a pile of them he had in stock ...

Replacing the fuel line with clear hose to check for air bubbles as you've suggested is a good start.

Not sure if you know about it but there is a small gauze filter below the banjo bolt on the injector pump that can get gummed up, remove the banjo bolt then use a piece of tie wire with a very ...
