Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cheers guys, Should be helpful. I'm on the eastern side of melb by the way. Hi mate, Try sandy at aus4wd located in bayswater which is the eastern suburbs of melourne. 9758 4899 try 9729 4899 the phone number morkz has posted is wrong. AUS 4wd is still going strong , just moved to other premises ...

if its same as GQ, you may have problems getting it all apart to replace bearing, woop had a 40t (i think it was search should find it) press and didnt budge.

Thanks mate. I'm getting a mechanic to do it as I'd be sure to wreck something with my passion figers

My 00 gu patrol wagon has a leaking axle seal so may as well get wheel bearings done also. Has anyone used Don Kyatt bearing kits, is the seal and bearing quality good and if not what other suppliers would you recommend. Cheers

That looks like it shits on the ones you buy for 2k

Can't really comment as I was running 33's MUDZILLAS and swop that for the current 285/75/16's ... so no idea how they would run using anything smaller than 33's..... but i am not complaining as it still beats previous old N/A GQ TD42 running 32's. [/quote]
No worrries thanks for the info

1) Current GU TD42T 14l/100k's running 285/75/16 M/T 2) Previous GQ TD42 12-13l/100k's running 32's M/T What diffs are you running in your td42t and have you got the speedo sussed with the larger tyres? 3.9's and speedo hasn't been calibrated.... so i guess it would be better than 14l/100k's :D ...

What diffs are you running in your td42t and have you got the speedo sussed with the larger tyres?

Try chaining the front of a patrol to the front of a newer 4wd (hilux, prado etc) and have a tractor pull. Watch as the patrol rips the more "refined" newer "4wd" to pieces.

I've got one from www.4wdsystems.com.au in my Gu was about 250 i think, fits well no holes to drill bolts straight in.

Gearmaster sounds the go then, thanks fellas.

Have a safari fitted but got the pump timing and boost sorted straight after I fitted it. The results didn't jump out at me in the short distance I drove the car prior to getting it tuned. Nothing like the 3" exhaust did, couldn't miss that difference. The safar intercooler is pretty small, not much ...

Rockhopper or gearmaster any preferences, seem about the same price?

I have a safari intercooler which I got for $1650 and fitted myself. I am no mechanic but it looks too small to do that much. The reason I got it is because it came as a kit and was pretty easy to fit myself which was pretty attractive given where I live there wasn't much alternative. In hindsight I ...

For my next trip down to the police state I was considering fitting a cruise control to my '00 gu td42t so that I can look at where I am going instead of watching the speedo considering the number of revenue cameras they have down there. Just wondering what brands people have fitted and how good ...

Thanks insane, might wait till we go to melb again. Pay through the nose at wreckers here if you could get Gu rims, trading post aint much chop as getting rims here probably ups the price too much. Was wanting two rims to replace the 15x7 on the camper trailer to the same size and offset as the ...

Does anyone know if you can buy 16x8 steel rims in a patrol offset? I've had a look at speedy and roh's websites and can only find steel rims of the correct size in a L/C offset.

Genuine Nissan TD42T supplement $129 from Pitstop
http://www.pitstop.net.au/pitstop/prog/ ... &PLU=12527

Has anyone got the td42t nissan supplement. Does it cover all the engine internals as well as the turbo or just the turbo?

Sakura don't make the OE ones. Sakura are from Indonesia, the OE ones I've seen are made in Thailand. Maybe your'e getting confused where it says Sakura Genuine Filter on the box Fleetguard are good. Currently using a US made Donaldson P169071 Syntec media filter (equivalent to a Z9, only much ...

You're right on the bottom of the box made in indonesia. Just fitted my last sakura filters, thanks.

Gregorys manual is disappointing. 26 pages to cover td42,td42t andtd42ti. 50 pages for zd30, still concentrates on the zd30 in general throughout the rest of the manual. Gives torque settings and tolerances etc which are useful, so is worth having, just could have been far more detailed.

Thanks fellas. Where are you getting the fleetguard filters from Tom?

I am currently using sakura filters on my 2000 gu 4.2 td. Mine has the two different filters and the sakura numbers are C1812-2 and C1819. I understand sakura make the genuine nissan filters and I am getting these sakura ones for $30 each, not much better pricing than genuine really. Does anyone ...

Good cause tyres are due soon too. Thanks.

Just been reading about injectors on the www.hiflo.com.au website and see that they recommend replacing injectors after a max of 100k. Obviously it is in their interest to recommend regular injector replacement as they sell them. I've got to admit that I know fark all about injectors though and ...

Would rather use graphite powder as it does not collect dust and clag up like wet lubricants, got it on my lock on the drilled out pin no probs

Gregory's have updated the patrol manual #519 to include the td42, td42t and td42ti motors. Whilst not what you would call comprehensive it does have some useful information torque settings etc. It is available through Haynes manuals in Melb for about $60.

Robbo it does skip but much less than the nissan one in mine that used to skip on some sealed roads. What is also good is that you can fit 180 odd songs on a cd in mp3 format

Forgot dual battery and fridge both also pretty important and snorkel and front diff lock. Started getting a bit casual on Fraser island and drove into what looked like a puddle only to watch the bonnet disappear and come straight back out the other side luckily. This was before I had the snorkel ...

I also have 4.2td (2000 mdl) and have roof rack , uhf, mp3 stereo, cargo barrier, 3 " lift, castor correction bushes, crap alloy wallaby bar, pyrometer, safari intercooler, 3" exhaust including dump pipe. From my experience the exhaust made the biggest improvement, nearly a full gear better up hills ...

VDO do one to suit 52mm guages, bought mine from repco for about $40. VDO part #230029
