Yes mate they do bolt up to a arb winch bar. Like i said been running it for years, have not had one drama yet. Unlike alot winches they have a main switch for the solenoids , which saves them in the long run,
glad to help

Does anyone know how to reset a computer on the 4.8. ? In the process of replacing the maf sensor on it as its running like a pig on idle and surging on power through the rev range and now the engine light is on. Does anyone know if its possible to bypass the maf sensors on these like they do on ...

mate go one of these, i have a massive 4.8 gu wagon, been runnin this winch for years, it has everything you need, for half the price. i have lost count over the years how many trucks ive rescued including my own and has never yet let me down, there 17000lb , its not even working pulling another 4b ...

have heard by quite a few people these 98, 99 model 4.2 in the dx range had lighter weight pistions, smaller gudgeon pins etc, thats why i want to know if the st are the same as well, i dont know, thats why im asking, ive also been told the earlier gq 4.2 diesels89-94 are better than the later gq ...

Hi , can someone tell me whats the 4.2 diesel motors like in the 99 model gu wagon st. i know the dx 99 model 4.2 were a weak motor, are the st the same?

also how weak are these motors, can you still run a decent turbo setup or waste of time????

thanks

Hi can anyone tell me is there any difference between a GU WAGON chassis and a GQ wagon chassis,. wanting to know if a gu wagon cab will bolt straight upto a gq chassis,
thanks

Mate how thick of sheeting did you go, Im half thinking of doin this as wreckers want nearly 1000 just for a back wall off a gu ute,

could also be a cracked head, 4.2 are strong motors but have seen this with cracked heads, not starting, white smoke,

what exactly do these 6bt pumps come off ? what vehicle

yeah mate I mean is there any transport companies that transport gear like this, car transport companies dont transport just bare shells apparently

Anyone know whats the best way to transport a gu cab from nsw to qld,?

thanks guys

just want to find out what you used as a backing, a ute cab? these are quite rare to find,

does anyone know if its possible to get larger gu flares?

Anyone have much info on doing a dual cab conversion on a gu patrol, ??

whats needed to transplant a 4.2td motor into a the newer shape patrols that was a 3.0L , does anyone know does things like engine mounts, gearbox mounts any other alterations need to be made?

Hi guys, thinking about putting my 4.8 Gu on gas, whats the better sorta systems to go, have heard different stories from everyone i ask, thought id try, I dont want to be doin valves every 20000kms and dont want to lose power, is there any system out there that can be suitable, thanks,

if this is the 5 speed tip tronic auto yous are talking about, this box cant be that weak, mine has 240k kms on it turnin 36" tyres all day everyday, never had a drama, motor is still standard 180kw but surely if these boxes were as weak as yous say it wouldnt handle these tyres for so long?? do ...

if your after power keep your petrol, if your after economy get a diesel.
cheers

far out you guys have confused me now, so these uni chips any good or not ? as they seem to be the cheapest option then if i decide to go a turbo down the track i got the chip in ready to go,, is this correct? whats so good about these autronic chips?? with a aftermarket chip il pick up roughly ...

Wolf also do a plug in for the 4.8, it is their V500 and I have used both the V500 and Haltechs earlier E11 (In my own vehicle). Off our dyno a stock 4.8 makes 125 rwkW give or take, I have acheieved with 98 fuel, a Gen III throttle body, 3" exhaust and a V500 tuned, 165 rwkW, I got similar but ...

The ecu or piggyback's are used to make the most out of other modifications. There is round about 15% in power and torque to be had just in tuning, but with airflow modifications such as good air filter, exhaust system etc.. You can tune them to the full potential. how much does this cost for these ...

Having fitted mulitiple aftermarket ecu's to these engines I can tell from the dyno results that the manifold valve increases power from 2500 to 3500 rpm. In tuning these types of variable maniflods and variable camshafts it is normal to do a power run with the valve open and then closed and then ...

i have only just read on the nissan patrol forum about a guy doing this, there was an mod for making the auto shift more aggresively and another mod where a power valve actuator is cable tied open, apparently resulting in more power and less fuel usage, not sure if its what you are talking about ...

yes thanks guys this is what i was on about, thing i dont understand is why wouldnt nissan just do this from the factory if its more power and less fuel,,,

anyone seen the latest mag of 4wd monthly, apparently they have a simple yet effective modification for the 4.8 pettys, anyone know what exactly they were talking about on here. i should stop bein so tight and just buy the mag, if anyone has it and could let me know would be great

yep look at every bush, front diff , back diff, then jack front diff up, check wheel bearings, and also king pin bearings, sometimes even your trailing arm bushes can play a big part on how ya truck drives on the road, really strain ya bushes to make sure theres no play, and if there stuffed replace ...

Hi guys, thought id try this site with this and see what i end up with. Have purchased a repairable write off hsv vz clubsport very cheap. It is flood affected. Fresh water upto the top of the motor. Obvious the computer will be buggered amungst other electrical things. Does anyone know the best way ...

yeah your pretty right with either one mate, depends on price between the 2, if your going to be towing alot of gear or looking to modify it for more power personally go the 4.2 but if looking to keep it standard and dont do a heap of hard towing etc 3lt be fine, . its only the the 3lt gus which ...
