Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Much appreciated Dude.
Will give them a ring on Monday for some quotes.

Wish I was handy enough to undertake such a task and save myself some coins.

Thanks Harry.

Suppose a request for an intro is a fair call.

Name is Mike and just relocated from Perth to Sydney. Not being familiar with people and places in N.S.W as such posting on this forum and hoping the nice folks on outerlimits can point me in the right directions.

Thanks blackmav.

Now i think its a clutch replacement that the Patrol will be needing.

Hi,

Need to have the clutch replaced for my Nissan Patrol TD42T. Can anyone recommend a a reasonable clutch mob near Gladesville/Ryde area???

Hi, Can anyone recommend a reliable diesel mechanic/workshop in the Galdesville area that doesn't charge an arm and a leg? It's for a Nissan Patrol TD42T. Truck doesn't seem to drag past the 2400rpm range.... can hear it "wheezing" but the speedometer climbs very slowly past that rev range for all ...

Hi, I am new to Sydney and is in the midst of trying to get a blue slip for a FJ40. It seems the 2F would need a tune and the front brake drums looked into as well. Can anyone recommend a reliable workshop in Sydney (Gladesville/Ryde area would be fantastic) that can provide a blue slip and ...

Hi,

on the same topic what would be a good replacement engine for the 2F of FJ40?

Yup.. the double clutching didn't really help but the reving does.

Thought it would be a cheap fix like changing gear box oil or something. Looks like I will have to live with it till it's time to change the clutches and do up the syncromesh at the same time.

Will try that out. Thanks.

What is lazy syncro?... what can be done to fix it?

Where can you get one? Is there a particular make you can recommend?

1999 GU TD42T

I am facing some problems changing the gear down. In my case, its difficult if not almost impossible to change down to 2nd and 1st gear from 3rd upwards unless the speed has been sufficiently reduced. Any ideas anyone?

I am thinking of fixing up a Delphi Fuel filter on the GU and was wondering what are the general sentiments for such modification. Do you replace the fuel filtration system currently in the vehicle with this or does the Delphi fuel filtration system become the primary fuel filtration and the ...

Rang up Nissan and apparently the 1999 TD42T uses 2 different oil filters. Was wondering if anyone might know the part number for each of the Oil filters and which one is placed forward (nearer to bull bar) and which is back.

Nissan wants to sell them for $26 and $41.70 respectively.....
