Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the GU auto hub wont fit a GQ - or at least mine did not ( onto a 92 GQ). Auto hubs will also need the axle spindle as there are 'teeth' around it that interact with the auto hub

Has anyone replaced 5th gear with the Marks overdrive gear. http://www.marks4wd.com/products/gearmaster/Nissan-GQ-GU-overdrive-gears.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I am looking to run 4.6 diffs in a CRD with 33's - becasue that is what I have lying around - but don't want to be ...

Well in that case the centers are the same. Early GQ airlockers did have a spacer in them though which prevented the GU axles to slide in.
thats correct when i went to put my gq lockers into the GU it was the earlier model locker that was for a gq only, arb do a conversion kit to convert it into ...

Mate over here did it - pain in the arse always breaking cv's, ended up having to replace to entire housing as the axle seals did not stay in place and was always leaking.

Off topic
Can put an LSD from rear h233b from some navara (and pathfinder i think). this bolts straight in as they are 31 ...

Genuine is the go, and if you are looking at second hand from '88 onwards they are the same - tho I have heard that GU is stronger?

All GQ and GU I have driven pump fuel from Aux to main tank

LSD centre out of a h233B rear navara is the same spline count as patrol front. Took a bit of mucking around to find what models it was in pretty sure I ended up finding single cab d22 ran that diff. I bolted the centre into a GU after removing a spacer block from the middle where the axles come ...

Ended up making my own captive mount for mine using a rear control arm bush and housing. Bit of mucking around to get all square, but i will have to break bolts or chassis for the engine to move now. This was a for a 92 efi petrol - same as 4 bolt diesel mount. Should have made a stack of them as ...

you will need to change the spindle over as the auto locking hubs require the front edge of the spindle to have teeth

As stated the R50 Pathfinder did aswell.

Dave.

What he said, I used as navara rear diff to put an lsd centre in the front of my gu

92 efi fully loaded with roofrack, 280L fuel, steel bars, dual tyre carrier, 12000 winch, 4+2 lift on 285's with 4.6 gears pulling a 1t camper around Oz getting about 22-25L/100km - sold the diesel ute for fuel money

Why would you modify the Auto hubs to be manual? if your going to that much trouble, get manual ones, atleast you don't need to have the tyre iron with you to lock them in, if you have that in the back of the car and want to lock them in but can't get to it cause you have your tools and that around ...

Check the transfer case, the chain in mine was streched and would slip and make a nice noise like that. Replaced for $700

Cheers for the replies

Sorry forgot to mention air cleaner filter is new as well.

Thanks rockwolf - notice a few fumes but no smoke etc, timing seems OK, not burning any more oil than normal, not losing any water.

Cheers Woz, I am suspecting something like this, It will be checked in Cairns for ...

Have a 92 efi with 400 000+ on the clock, currently travelling around OZ and going to Cairns tomorrow.

The problem I have narrowed down to fuel, air or electrical :roll: . It is a pig to start, when it finally starts it runs fairly smoothly. Driving through the day I slowly lose power, I have ...

Bought a GQ TB42 efi for $3500, running/idling very rough, spent:
$60 on injector testing and replacing o-rings (fixed problem)
$300 on exhaust
$120 on fan hub
$400 rad recore

Tyres/rims $2500 (gave me total of 10 alloys and 6 new tyres)
Storage/wheel carrier approx $800 in materials and built ...

does not realy matter much - legal tread is about all I worry about. Sideways traction if you do lots of curving gravel may be a consideration. Sidewalls for tight bushtracks will be important if you carry heavy loads.

I ran 33's with patch on the tread where a star picket went through - did ...

Two teams from Esperance WA have left - two nissan V8's :twisted: . Ashley and Adrian from last year now are both competing as drivers with new navi's.

Been very busy last few weeks, two weeks ago Ashley's car was not running, finally got the computer sorted on the 6L v8. Adrian destroyed 5th gear ...

have used aftermarket water pump - seems to be OK, was about half nissan price.
Rad was recored as the fins were rotted completely - no probs since

fitted a 100 amp alt off a diesel GU onto a GQ petrol - plugs are on the wrong side but wires reached and plugged straight in. Changed pulley from single to double and job was done

Local wrecker promised me a front diff complete hub to hub for $1400 - unfortunately he did not get the vehicle

As a SES corodinator in our area we use both. and HF appears to be more reliable ATM. Last call out we had three sat phones out with the land/air crew - and the HF, we got through - scratchy- on HF, nothing on sat phone. Historically in the same area sat phones have been poor though for some reason ...

dead simple job really, dont lose the kingpin shims and make sure they back where they came from ie bottom goes back on the bottom.

I made nice little tool for knocking these seals in as when I broke CVs I would destroy this as well :roll: made the job even easier ~ 20 min trackside to replace ...

befor any one says it. i have tried search but i keeps comming up with (page cant be displayed) on both mine and the handbrakes computers.
anyways.
looking at a ratio change and diff lock etc. as i am building this up for a comp rig i was wondering whether to go gu front diff or stay with gq, i ...

cheers for that

Have searched but nothing specific came up.

Have a 100amp alternator out of a GU deisel, it has a single larger diameter pulley. GQ alternator is on the opposite side of the motor so plug sockets are in the wrong spot but wires still reach, it has two smaller diameter pulleys it is 70 amp.

To swap ...

Had the digi TD one for couple of years now - only way really use the adjustable shock properly. Melted one air line too close to exhaust (fitting prob :oops: ) - got a joiner easily from local ag supplier. some initiall air leak issues where the fitting goes onto shock - got better o rings. I have ...

Have a GY box in a GQ and works fine. Used adjustable drag link GU TRE one end and GQ TRE the other. Better turning circle after adjusting bump stops. CV's dont like lockers at full lock though :roll:.
Could turn enough for 285x75/16s on Ti alloys to touch trailing arm. (more was there if I wanted)

I seem to break the longer side slightly more often; about 6 times compared to 4.

My exhaust broke where the two pipe joins to one after the manifold, was about 1.8 corrugations away from breaking completely away.

How do you know when the cat is stuffed?
