Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi Guys,

Where can I buy a twin fuel filler neck for my GQ.
I got an aux belly tank and want to plumb it up separately.

I'm in Melb

Thanks for any replies

I couldn't resist anymore! After about 200,00km in my GQ TD42 I have just turboed and regret not doing it earlier. I was like you and pretended it was ok but eventually got sick of slow acceleration from standstill and constant changing of gears. Now I find it much easier and relaxed to drive and ...

just put a factory GU turbo with 3 inch system on my GQ which has done about 340 thousand kms. Sump was clean as when I took it off the motor ran fine for years. It runs like a dream. I just had it tuned on a dyno but not maxxed out as I want it to last. EGT is the key. Bogged's advice is on the ...

I'm getting all my parts together for a turbo conversion on my GQ TD42. Should I get factory Nissan exhaust manifold gaskets or after market and is there a big price difference? Should I be using gasket goo for the exhaust manifold and the the turbo/manifold/dump pipe gaskets? If yes which one ...

The factory GU airbox has a 3.5 inch outlet. You never know with more air and a retune you may do better?

I think what you will find is that even if you found a suitable filter to fit, the precleaner housing wont flow enough for the turbo.

I'm in the same situation (GQ turbo conversion) and Im fitting a GU TD42T airbox which is similar to the ZD30 airbox except for flanges

They are vacuum driven, the plumbing is on the passenger side firewall.

I've got one and it sometimes takes a couple of kms to disenage, but it eventually does.

It can take its time to engage as well.

I have a 1990 Nissan wagon and I dont have a cargo barrier.
Their are three bolting points in the back floor.
If you lift the carpet you will see them, I just used on of them.

I'm a little confused now.
Should I change the top hinge or not?

Thanks for the reponses guys.

Mel

Thanks for the reponses.
Will change out top hinges, the ones on ebay seem like they are reasonably priced.

I have done a search and looked at the bible but cant find anything on door hinges. My front door hinges on my GQ are making loud clicking noises when opening. The doors haven't sagged but I think this is a common problem on GQs. I have tried cleaning them and oiling without sucess so I guess the ...

All sorted,
It gives you 3 attemps at putting in the 4 digit pin before it locks out.
If it locks out then you need to disconnect the power for 5 minutes before trying again.

I think I have the pin number (a 4 digit number was writtern in the owners book) but the radio seems to be only accepting 3 digits before it locks out.

It only gives me one go every 5 minutes.

Thanks
Mel

I have a nissan badged eurovox radio which is asking for a security code after disconnecting the battery.
Is this code a 3 pin number or a 4 pin?

Thanks
Mel

I emailed the guy selling the GU manuals on Ebay and he can't get the GQ ones.

Muddy, Funny you say that, when I lived in Broken Hill and made many a night run back to Melbourne, of the 13 roos I collected, I only hit one the rest hit me on the sides of the car. So I can concur with the Psycho Roos in SW NSW. No Shoo Roo fitted just the bull bar that only got used once. Mel

Many thanks guys for explaining it all to me

Sorry for asking what everyone probably already knows but how do you know when Number 1 piston is at top dead centre on the compression stroke on a diesel?

Also does the rocker cover gasket need to be replaced each time it is removed?

Thanks
Mel

Mine was very notchy particularly when cold.
I put Castrol VMX 80 and half a litre of Moreys oil stabiliser and its a lot better now. Still feels like a truck box but at least it shifts positively now.

My bro has a 2000 model 100 series with a petrol 6 engine, it done 80K and that also blows a bit of smoke on start-up. Seems to be black smoke rather than blue (ie fuel rather than oil) but who knows. Maybe Toyota have changes the piston or ring sizes to make the engine more economical and run ...

Mine does not need to be in 4wd to lock.

Mine takes about 100m for the light to go on and slightly less for the light to go off.

If you get someone to flick the switch in the dash you should be able to hear the actuator in the diff make a clicking noise.

Mel

This is just to share my limited experience with engine oils with everyone and to get some opinions. My GQ TD42 has done about 280K and I have been using Penrite 20-60 engine oil changed at 5k intervals for the past 20K. The price of Penrite oils has gone up a bit recently so I tried Valvoline Super ...

I had the same experience as bogged on my GQ TD42, no change in power! With the precleaner removed and the primary filter replaced with a K&N, the engine was a little more responsive and about 0.5L/100km better economy but not really any more power. This is ok for everyday driving around town but on ...

Yep.

Most of the servos have been selling LPG there for about 10 years.

Mel

Thanks for the reply.

I've been thinking extractors and a 2.5 inch system for a while but have done nothing about it.

Mine's already done 280K and I dont realy want to go turbo if I can help it.

Which brand of extractors did you get and what type of muffler?
I've been thinking about doing this for a while and from what I can gather Pacemakers seem to be as good as any?
Thanks
Mel

Thanks for the replys guys.
Looks like there will be some arm twisting going on.
