Hi Moiz - might be a bit far to travel but a great welder out our way is Hans steel at Yamanto - they have done a few small jobs for me free and a few bigger jobs - just call ahead as they can get very busy.

Good luck - and post some pics.

If you need a hand cutting up anything or whatever just ...

The bottom section on their site talks about air flow in through the scoops and they have a valid point in that the air flow through the scoop is limited by the ability of the IC to allow air through it.

Either way I'd be interested in a similar scoop for 1/4 of the price they are asking.

Thankyou - managed to get it out with a bit of stuffing around but definatly a number worth keeping a hold of!

know of a thread doctor in Brisbane?

mine is installed not using the fitting kit but it is secured with multiple 8mm+ bolts and 3mm steel straps. Its not going anywhere.

Can you provide the link and which state does this affect?

cheers

Qld only, check www.transport.qld.gov.au. NSW already has cargo barrier rules, Vic and WA are soft on them.
I was only taking the piss, but from what i've tracked down in Vic you can DIY, although manufacturers do suggest ...

Can you provide the link and which state does this affect?

cheers
Paul

yes you do but make sure you get it to an engineer before the new laws come in.

ive heard they are cracking down on cargo barriers

What new law? what does it say about cargo barriers?

Surely they wont give people like ARB the power to ok an installation of a cargo barrier? youd be safer ...

Here they are

contact engines australia http://www.engineaustralia.com.au/ for a price on their rebuild kit.

one trick is to use a short section of tube one size up and cut it in half so it can protect the piece to be bent as it moves on the rollers.

I just welded up the dents and used the grinder to clean it up or bog would work.

Paul

Least you found the issue in the end and didnt keep sending it down the bottomless pit that is nissan.

Did you clean the intercooler or throttle body while you had it all apart?

Paul

Hi all - need to replace the glow plugs in the zd30.

Are all brands the same or some better than others?

Looking at HKT ($150) or NGK or Kyocera's (?) both at $260 for all 4.

I went with Rhino lining on the sills - no more stone chips and filled in the dents the stock steps made.

The plug for the antenna is part of the cradle it sits in.

I have the telstra T165.

I have heard bad bad stories about the newer model of this phone (T165i), there is no problems with the phone itself but problems in the way it acts when plugged into the hands free kit - ZTE who make these phones ...

yep you need to drill a bit hole out the back of the leg to get the plugs out - I filled the holes with silicon last and its still holding water tight. Just remember to seal the original wiring holes.

there were full instructions on expedition portal forums - this is the link below, it was working the other day just not now so maybe keep checking it over the next few days to see when their forums come back up.

Also be worthwhile sitting a multimeter on each rear battery separately while you have a load on them and see how much they drop.

We have always used this on the steel wire on the davit of the boat.

Just spray it on as you wind it in.

based on the clicking it should be auto - main battery has reached x volts and its bridging the two points on the unit to charge the aux battery.

are the gains on the amp set too high? try dropping them to nothing and make sure the bass etc on the head unit is set to 0 before you start.

autobarn should do the job

the VDO gauges normally come with an inline restrictor that goes into the brass fitting in the gauge.

Or you can try a plastic dial from a fish tank that will limit flow.

With boost you are measuring pressure not flow so you dont need to worry about how restrictive the fittings are.

hi mate

i recently had the auto in my GU rebuilt - mainly due to the torque convertor failing. his advise was to drive in 3 speed until you know you will be doing 80km/hr or more for a prolonged period.

cheers
Paul

just check to make sure it stays in gear through the rev range and doesnt drop out.

if its being towing in 5th i guess theres a increased chance it may let go but im not on top of the manuals sorry.

Hi mate

issues with the 3.0 were supposed to be sorted by late 02 that said there has been the odd 03 onwards engine go but im not sure why.

just check the service history to make sure it has been serviced correctly.

is it an auto or manual?

I have an 03 patrol auto with 270,000km on the clock ...

hi mate

do you have a catch can fitted at all?

if so just check to make sure its not blocked as this will cause oil leaks from the crank case.

I had a leak on my 3.0 but it was where the oil pan connects to the engine, i replaced my catch can filter (with one that wont block) and the leaks gone ...
