mate....
it might not be the answer, but check or replace your panhard rod bushes and steering damper bushes. my mate had same problem but he runs 37's, he replaced everything except this but no fix, until someone from snake racing told him to replace bushes on panhard rod and steering damper ...

Is the car lifted??

If so did they make a spacer to raise the proportioning valve to compensate?

The nissan front end is a funny little beastie.

Panhard bushes
Radius Arm bushes
Tie rod ends
100% Spot on wheel balances
Mushroom bushes in the the front arms
If you need a RTC spring type damper you are only masking a problem. Plus invariably the dampers inside are crap (undersized). Fix those ...

The next thing other than what the guy above said is are you running biodiesel???

Mate putting in a 6inch. dont really care if the super flex arms are illegal, cant get engineered in queensland anyway! Thanks for the advice! i was going to run H/d coils anyway due wanting rear bar plus doors and cargo barrier. Whats wrong with the mushroom bushes and how can this problem be ...

my cents

stiffen your rear coils, that will automatically make the front "flex" better, ill explain the inverted commas later.

trolls love hard rear coils cause it makes the front chassisflex plus 'droop' the front end.

now you kill two birds with this setup (tight arse end) the five link on the ...

yea found that out the hard way cris ... the battery isolated gets scared when you put heavy load through the second battery and cuts off the charge ... drains it pretty quick...

Im with cris run ya winch off ya main battery.

Admittedly driving well in excess of indicated speed limits, priceless. Comlaining about aircon cutting out, HTFU



when over taking tard ... read the post .. if you have nothing better to add STFU and get the teaspoon of cement you require for your recommended dietry intake ...

ps bj do you ...

just had another look at it again there is room on the right (drivers side) of the radiator for another same size thermo fan that is currently fitted as stock .... has anyone done this one before as all the mounting bolts etc are there ... will the wiring loom to the OEM thermo run a second one ...

yeah no probs at all in actual fact with all the different makes/models/sizes you could do a pretty decent 'hidden' system due to all the trucks different configurations ...

ok jason cheers for that because of where i live and the subsequent temperatures i can see your point ... so maybe install a decent size thermo fan in place of current condensor fan?

If i was still back in vic i would be inclined to just bypass the switch ... but out here .... i think you are ...

so this is a 'normal' thing bearing in mind i have a m12000 and 2 hella 4000's blocking the front area behind the aircon radiator?

is there any issue cutting this magic switch out? I mean what could the possible downside be??.... freezing the lines? it couldnt possibly over heat the motor?

thanks weeman its bloody annoying, i was thinking it was some kind of thermal overload switch cause it can be 60 degrees outside but at idle it works fine (the aircon) but as i said under load it decides it dont wanna work .......

Guys

Gunna throw this one out to the masses. My Patrol when running in extreme heat conditions, whether it be constant highway running or 4wding, seems to cut out periodically.

For example it was around 42 two days ago on a trip to perth .... overtaking get up to say 130 the aircon switches off ...

2 things

on the short door it would be fine .. the long door i wouldn't do

second, its illegal to carry fuel on ya rear barn doors.

2.0mm!! Woah thats way overkill, for my rollcage I only used 0.9mm tube which the teenager at supercheap told me would be plenty! Think of all the weight you'll be saving. :finger:

And to save even more weight, Don't weld it. Welds are much heavier than the tube. a much stronger and lighter ...

hrmmmmm thats a lil bizarre i could have sworn 3rds use factory bushes ..... just had my 3rd panhards replaced and they are stock nissan ones .......

another thumbs down from me for the RTC crap .... just get the biggest bore damper you can afford ....

corerct just went through the whole replace bush thing .... the 3rd's are standars (or fit standard nissan OEM)

agreed you really dont need to go anywhere near that high of a lift to run 36"...

coxy had it almost spot on with the list he gave tho .....

keep it as low as you can .. to fit the desired tyres i would go no more than 3" saves driveline hassles ...
