Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cracked mine last week, Engine Reconditioner sourced a new bare head plus a kit of gaskets and the like from Melbourne for $1500, another $500 labour to put Cam and valves back in, then back to mechanic to assemble engine...

Check out this website, this is the one I've fitted to my truck.

Also read the tech pages, some great info in there.

I thought the main reason for having a 'smart' solenoid was to protect the engine computer, but as the TD42 doesn't have one, i got a redarc smart solenoid from coventry auto parts for $99 if i remeber correctly.

They have had swb patrols from mq to gu so a lot of those shorties are efi petrol's 4.5 and 4.8, heaps of grunt.

just FYI....they have had Patrols in the middle east since at least the mid 1950's. Here is a pick of a 4W60 Nissan Patrol from the mid-1950's in a junkyard in Saudi. ;)

if you still want more add a better turbo.
search here and patrol4x4 there is heaps of info on 2.8's

Ditto...couldn't be happier with mine now.

Now that i think about it, not being in the morning and able to do some math, 10s would be pushing it (maybe if you slipstreamed a truck), but it definately possible to get easily over 1000km's out of a tank (125L) when mostly highway use.

Best I ever got or at least when i worked it out is 7.8Km/L or 12.75L/100km this is around town, now this is me driving with BB Turbo and fuel chip.

On the highway providing you stay on 110km you will easily get 10Km/L and easily get 1000km out of a tank.

From Wikipedia:

For compression ignition (i.e., Diesel) engines, the most commonly used catalytic converter is the diesel oxidation catalyst. The catalyst uses excess O2 (oxygen) in the exhaust gas stream to oxidize CO (Carbon Monoxide) to CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and HC (hydrocarbons) to H2O (water ...

Whay? Because cause the law says so?

Common problem with the GU's, Injector plate i think, just go to Nissan, think it cost me $80.

TURBO:


DUMP PIPE:


TURBO MANIFOLD


OIL LINES:

Finally got it back yesterday afternoon, got 116HP at the rear wheels, this is with the Steinbauer unit at its lowest setting and 15psi, the mechanic said that with steinbauer turned up (didn't say what too) it got 140hp though dangerous fuel levels and filled workshop with black smoke.

Will report back for sure, will even take photos on a real camera not moible phone, hopefully get dyno read out as well.

Sorry got confused with another dyno chart, that GQ had 117bhp and not sure of what pressure.

My turck still is not ready, turbo is on, needs some pipework, a guy to do the oil & water lines and it's then off to get dump pipe fitted (Anyone interested in the 3" Dump Pipe to suit stock turbo?) and ...

Not sure, but if he is replacing the standard turbo cannot be that much.

GU: RD28ETI

GQ: RD28T

Why the urgency to know???

The mechanics at AMMS use MTQ, and they are the ones who recommended the GT2560R, they are also at the moment installing the same turbo into a GQ 2.8 that has a large front mount intercooler which at current make 130+ hp at the wheels.

Apparently my cousin has a mate who works for GCG so if i was ...

Already have the Steinbauer unit fitted, in plenty of black smoke with the unit turned up to 75% (the negine cut out at 100%) so i don't think that would be an issue with the GU's injector pump.

Expecting the turbo to be around the $1300 mark, 3" dump pipe probably around $200 and GQ exhaust ...

Turns out the GT2860RS is not compatible due to it's configuration.

It would be sending the compresed air straight back towards the block is what the mechanics were told by MTQ, now i ...

Took it AMMS at Sandgate, they put it on the dyno and agreed the noise was coming from the turbo, when they took it off, thye found that it was indeed farked, the shaft had about 10mm of play in it, vane ends were burred and a chip in one vane plus was plenty of oil.

Then what do you make of the noise which appears to be coming from the turbo area, this noise is most notcieable at around 1800rpm till about 3000rpm.

A couple of weeks ago heard a ‘wurring’ noise coming from car first thought might have been gearbox, but series of test proved it wasn’t, now it sounded like it was coming from front passenger foot wall, which is right behind turbo, so took to Village Motors Redcliffe for them to access as ...

Blocked off the EGR Valve on the weekend, thought I'd share the plate dimensions with you all.

Simple to do, have gasket already glued to both sids of EGR plate, remove intercooler pipes (flat blade screwdriver), loosen off valve nuts (12mm spanner), lever valve enough for plate to slip down (flat ...

They probably ROH Blak Trax, was chasing a set last week but told by a couple of tyre mobs that they aren't any in Australia and don't know when will be available again, said they will be around the $120 each mark, saw another place for a simple balck sunraisya for around $110 each.

Had same happen to my 2.8, cost $5000, done my Nissan dealer, basically you have the choice ou repairing the crank or getting a new one , mine cost me $1300 new, the rest of the cost is other parts and labour.

I am in Brissie. What sort of $$ could I expect for the exhaust? Will the shop also fit the dump pipe?

Rob Bliss at Geebung, did my 2.8, 3" Dump & Mandrel Exhaust, 3" Flex Pipe, no muffler $800.

Recently noticed another difference between the DXs and STs, the STs have the vertical members surrounding door windows blacked using some type of adhesisve, I saw this on my mates and originallty though it was something he or the previous owver had done,now this does look good, but why didn't they ...
