Anyone got any tips for replacing the discs and caliper kits on a GU. I have worked on brakes before motorbikes etc. I know the bleed from furthest to closest to master cyl. I thought i'd read somewhere about blocking the hoses at each caliper before taking them off, is this a good idea ( i think so ...

as Gute said they are under the cap thing - about 40 mm square with 4 bolt holes in and a big hole in middle. these are quite a fine tolerance on this setting (thats why you can get all different thicknesses of shims ) . if your front end is "loose" then I'd be looking at other things first. If you ...

Just had mine replaced today $350 - asked in spares for bulk-buy price $250. just testing the waters to see if any one is interested and if so, has anyone got ideas on how to organise payment. Would have to pay up front and then wait for tensioners to come in - I'm willing to organise but the money ...

Can any one have a look under the bonnet and tell me which heater hose goes where? I took them off the engine pipes and forgot ( yes i know!!!) to label them . I need to know if the top firewall one goes on the forard or aft pipe at the engine? Thanks

i thought i read somewhere that one or both are 2 inches wider??? "edit" ok just found this thread - read down a bit http://carl.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=104308:

you still have to grind to fit the 43%, not sure if its as much as 85%. not hard to do though. For what its worth if you're not absolutely confident and got the correct tools THEN GET SOMEBODY WHO DOES THEM, TO FIT. Heaps of heavy hard work. This is from a part time back yard, hack mechanic point of ...

Do those battery terminal things have fuses in them? Can they be had from supplier? Any one sell in Melb?

I remember a thread on this probly on patrol section - had heaps of helpful info - search?

wait for 2.8 owners responses cos bigger tyres may really slow you and cause more frustration. 2.8 also have smaller drivetrains so just wait a bit b4 you fit that 6.0 lt ( be fun though)

broke both my AVM's on w'end, but I was acting the hoon a bit. Was actually surprised they gave up so easy but I do have 43% trans gears in an auto, so the torque going thru em with foot hard on brake would have been pretty high me thinks. Cant get spares for em ( tried emailing manufacturer in ...

have a look at the back axle in GQ or GU and you'll understand em heaps.
Basically there are 5 links ( arms) to the chassis from the axle instead of the usual 3 as standard. Offers more chance to flex but some say less stability on road.

on TDC both Valves rockers should be loose, if one is tight them you should turn it 180.

According to my Gregory's wiring diagram the Auto trans models only make use of that switch to activate cutout circuit. Its only activated when the lever is between 4H and 4L ( push position- neutral ) I think its activates a warning light on dash to signify possibility of non locking of ...

Personally would not do it to any car. these mounts are only designed for the wheel and the extra weight let alone the distance it would hang out from wheel would damage the whole shebang. Havn't you seen how those racks wobble when loaded? mount one on tow bar or go roof rack.

have a look on Vic 4WD assoc. site

Just wondering what the advised period of getting them looked and "cleaned" or whatever they do - is? I've heard that 100k used to be the recomended period for diesels in the past.

just a little Hi-jack, but I wonder if this is the answer to all those who complain about some Patrols steering left and not other owners? Sloppy manufacture - given the state of their welding it wouldnt surprise me.

got spotties and winch blocking flow to Rad??? Dont forget there are four radiators of one sort or another in there - one behind the other, I've had a similar thing happen once in 110,000 km on a hot day but never again.also sand driving can be relatively slow ( no air flow ) but hard work for motor.

what about on the bitumen if a kid ran in front on the way to play area. Like to see him stop!!!!!!!!

gotta add that I was a bit worried about putting extra strain on front axle and cv's etc with 85% and big wheels, the further you go in each direction the more pressure, not that i've heard of any probs, I just didnt wanna increase the chances of being the first.

Just to clear things up a bit. I have the ZD30 with 4 sp Auto and its got 4.3 diffs as standard. I went the 43% gears so that I dont have to stop and change up to high range at too low a speed. I always felt low range wasnt quite low enough. Diesels have have slightly better natural engine braking ...

There is a site

www.clicon.com.au

that sells model specific brackets etc. I have ordered one for my Dell PDA / Patrol dashboard. I'll let you know how it works out when I get it.

like this?

>>Troll01, they look good. What size steel section and tube did you use? <<

X2

just a thought - if you set laptop to relavant datum - what about the GPS, do you set that to the datum as well?

you may be better off asking this on "exploroz". Personally we did a trip across the simpson from melbourne. two of us had 4-Rhino bars, one with a rhino rack and other with steel rack. Not one prob, but I hear corugations on Cape are worse than what we had. just make sure the rubbers are on the ...

checked Gregory's and my Nissan manual.
