Thanks mate, what about the Bull bar? can it take a winch? any bar can be MADE to take a winch, but no thats a non winch bar by the look of it.


Correct, its not a winch bar, i believe its the factory Nissan one.

hey mate, truck is mine.

In terms of economy with my 285 75MTRs i get about 13 -13/5 L/100kms, when i had the BFG ATs(same size) i used to get in the low 10's, somewhere between 10.2 and 11 consistently. Its a great truck at a great price and i cant understand why it aint gone!!! Heaps of emails ...

Well on Monday i am picking up a brand new GV Prestige :cool: i was concerned about the fuel economy of the V6 Auto for a while but the deal we got offered was fantastic!

However i have just noticed that there is going to be a new V6 released in a few months, its a 3.2L, is this suzukis attempt to ...

Just to run an engel 40L, maybe for 2 days max. i had almost conceded to the fact that it would have to go in the cargo area.

Hi There,

Has anyone fitted a dual battery setup in one of the new GV's. Looking at buying a new V6 or DDis and wondered if there are any dual battery configurations out there yet?

is it the factory pressure gauge, if so i wouldn't rely on it? My GQ used to show low pressure all the time, then i installed a mechanical gauge and it was perfect! The electric ones are useless and i seriously doubt it would be a mechanical one if it is still the factory one.

With regards to the ...

How many km do you do? Unless you do a lot it probably won't cost you that much more realistically speaking. I'm using around 3l/100km more than my old Feroza- so under $5 extra per 100km (using $1.50/ litre purchase price.) Hardly a huge expense. ;)

The price of diesel is sky rocketing- and with ...

thanks all,

those figures dont sound good. Might have to convince the mrs that we should get the diesel, just a shame its a manual as we would really like an auto

thanks Bruce.

Is that the same engine as the latest model V6? Those figures look good to me, only other thing i can think of is that the new body is heavier

Hi guys, we are looking at purchasing a GV to replace our Lancer, i will keep the patrol for now but this may eventually replace it as our 4wd. We like the V6 purely because of the ride and the auto (i do like the diesel though). The only thing that is putting me off the V6 is the fuel economy, they ...

can someone explain the belt configuration for the TD42 in a GU.

is it :

1 for ps
1 for ac
and
1 for fan and alt?

are the belts interchangeable between GQ and GUs? ive been told the PS one may be different?

whats the actual measurement of both tires? not just 265, actual measurement

Cant find that info on the website, may have to measure them

Guys,

Recently I changed by worn out BFG AT's (probably 20% tread) to new MTRs, same size 285/75R16. I have noticed that my fuel economy has gone from 11.7L/100kms with the BFGs to 13.8L/100kms with the MTRs. The other factor could be that I have probably been running the Air Con about 80-90% of ...

Sell the bullbar and put the $$$ towards my Shorty

Jason

yep

actually, I meant 65A, I just checked it again and realised. Auto One are getting one for me this arvo, $9, but better than Nissans $26

It's a 30 amp fuse --> go to dick smith or jaycar or whatever, a brand new fuse holder will be like $2, the fuses to go with it will be about $2 for a pack of 6.

$5 + your time.

Its an 80 Amp fuse for this one...its the black one next to the Glow Plug link...

if the Nissan one is the right one ...

On the weekend I blew the Fusible Link for the Starter Motor on my GQ....long story, but came down to the fact that I connected a new battery the wrong way round (looked Identical to the old one, expept the pos and neg were opposite ).

Im after the actual Fuse Cartridge...like this

Guys,

Noticed that the ST Patrols (in the GU 1) came with 265/70 tyres which are about 30 - 31 inch, yet the DX's came with 33 inch tyres.

Does that indicate that the DX's have more room in the guards as standard, maybe a factory bodylift?

Reason being, I was wondering if a GU DX with a 2 ...

Hey,

Just a quick question someone may be able to answer.

Are the Old Man Emu Shocks and Springs same for a GQ SWB as a GU LWB.

ie Could I put my OME Setup (MED) off my shorty onto a GU LWB?

Cheers


Andrew

Guys,

Are the Springs and Shocks on GQ's interchangeable between SWB and LWB?

Reason being I think im going to sell my Shorty and buy a LWB, and would probably remove the OME Lift of it to transfer to the newy?

Anyone know if they are the same parts?

Guys,

Just a bit of a follow up relating to some posts on here a while ago referring to the confusion with which oil to use on the Transfer Case.

When I did the first change I used Dexron 3 (as suggested in Gregories and by Nissan), but I changed recently and used the Penrite Lite Gear Oil ...

Rang up a guy yesterday that had advertised on West Australian last Saturday.

98' 4.5 GU wagon with roof rack, bull bar, lift kit, 139k on the clock.... advertised 22000 and sold for 19500.

prices are tumbling....

Guarentee you it was in very poor condition. Ive been looking at these myself ...

Guys,

I am considering selling my GQ SWB in the coming months as I want to upgrade to a LWB GU (Not sure which yet, but looking more likely to be a 4.5 Petrol as the 4.2 Diesels are still expensive), but I first want to know what would be a reasonable price for mine.

Its a 92 (Series 2) GQ SWB ...

I know that most people state that you should only use a 15W40 with TD42's but I have noticed that over these warmer months in perth, my oil consumption is noticeable (about 1 - 1.5L / 5000kms), and the pressure when idle and hot is dropping to only just above the manufacturer min spec.

I was ...

the front passanger side seat is different from shorty to longy..front seat needs to slide and tilt further in the shorty..plus the shorty seat has a pull cord to tilt and slide from the back seat.

Have just read all the posts concerning replacement seats, and had a couple of questions specific to shorties...
