I got some 52mm core, triple flow ally radiators made up to suit GQs with TD42s. The end tanks are made from 3mm Ally sheet, not thin crap like some others i've seen from so called ally radiator experts. All the mounts are strong as. Come with billet filler neck. The factory shroud even fits as well ...

I crossed the simpson last august and from Oodnadatta to birdsville I averaged 18L/100km.

The last 11km or so I had to tow my father in law coz he ran out of petrol in his ford courier, and I had a couple goes to get up the hard track up big red (read foot flat and on the redline all the way up ...

I have a couple of sets sitting right here if you're keen, can get axle to caliper ones done too if your interested in those as well. $90 each + freight.

They're made to be a bolt in solution for the Patrols.

The sets i've sold are ~10" Travel and 610mm Ext in the front, Rears are 12" travel and ~790mm ext. I've got a set here just winking at me to put in my car...well the rears any way as i've already done the front...complete with my neat res ...

TJM XGS GOLD EDITION. Ive done 2 years testing with these before they hit the shelf. In events all around Aus. They never let me down.
I personaly feel that adjustable shocks have one more thing that can go wrong with them, so I avoid them. Have you ever driven around on Fox shocks. I am thinking ...

There's a second plate welded in the back of them which picks up the other end of the pin...here's a couple of happy snaps without the pins welded in....

the second plate is tabbed ...

It's designed to be a bolt on solution which takes up as little space as possible.

Go ahead use one ram then, see how easily you can pull the lights back. Even with 2x 20mm bore rams on there and at 150psi air system you can still overpower the rams and pull the light bar back if you try hard ...

As you see it, without lights, is $1650

also comes with pneumatic switch, regulators, hose etc, all you need to supply is air system.

Here's another way of doing it.....

I was about to put some pics up then saw those ones.....it works a treat. All controlled by a single pneumatic switch on the centre console - no solenoids to make it complicated.

I had a few batches mid last year where almost every set of coils was labelled incorrectly left to right. Apparently they get some real winners working in the factory up in rocky. Just check the taller one is one the drivers side and should all be good.

Mine are made from 350MPa steel plate, just had to put my price up a bit to $660 pair + bushes.

a number of guys running them in their comp cars and one even in his Tuff truck vehicle without any dramas.

I don't think it will do anything, have a look at your bump stops. I think you'll find its the down travel bump stop that the upper control arm will be sitting on, not the limit of the adjuster on the torsion bar, thats why upper arms fix the problem - they lift the upper bump stop striker plate ...

If you want to get the front higher, you need to replace the upper control arms, I have a set here if you're interested, as well as the HD tie rods and idler arm brace, PM me if you're keen.

It comes down to the distance between the bush centres at the diff end - patrols are 240mm from memory, where as toyotas and rovers are both 160mm (i think - with out measuring). This gives both these cars decent flex in the front for a stock setup. The rover arms however are somewhat longer than ...

Considering that pic is from my website, why wouldn't you ask me to mod it?

or save some $$ and buy a complete kit in the first place.

cheers

OONDY

Dobinson gear is pretty good, even with the uprated torsion bars they still ride nice, my mates has one with an ally bar and its smooth as to ride in.

PM sent re prices

cheers

OONDY

Those coils can't fall out with those shocks dazza, thats why I sold them to you, you can put the longer ones in but then the coils fall out - I had that happen to me when I had the same coils as you but pro comp shocks which were 725mm extended - the 700mm dobinson shocks are perfect length for ...

Did you swap the rear tailshaft end for end? if not, i'd be looking there as they don't take much to rub on the chassis crossmember.

were you towing a trailer?

mine sits on about 250 at 100, maybe 300 at 110km/h (33 MTZ, 4" sus, 30mm body lift) and thats with a real small exhaust housing too.

cheers

OONDY

for whistle from idle to red line = BB turbo with 3" exhaust no mufflers, otherwise see post above this one.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.................bahahahahahahaha

They put the diff in the factory position, front to back wise, so yes they're longer than standard.

and yes they give extra clearance as well.

cheers

OONDY

They're huge as well....then if you put it where you say, you can plumb a big ass snorkel in with minimal length...boo yah.

cheers

OONDY

If you look in the end of the TD42T outlet, you can see the bend out the top is half blocked off.....the 3L one has the full diameter of the bend coming out the top....NFI why nissan would do that in the first place.

I had a 200mm x 120mm Diameter filter in a slightly smaller box....and it was a bit too small for 13-14psi.... I put this one in (both tested with the crappy air-flow snorkel) and the turbo lag / boost response was like chalk and cheese.

the GU's only run about 7-8psi from the factory and I don't ...

I made a big cahuna for mine....

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n183/oondy/DSCN2332.jpg

fits a uni filter pod: 200mm long x 140mm diameter with 3" outlet.

I recently made a 4" stainless snorkel for it too.....dropped my EGTs by almost 50degC on flat ground at 100km/h, runs less boost doing ...

It's not so much and measured angle value as such, but hmmm...best way to explain it is to draw an imaginary line down the axis of the king pin bearings to the ground, infront of the wheel, call this point A. Now, draw another imaginary line from the centre of the hub to the ground (so that is ...

nah, they were terain tamer ones. but have heard the caloffroad ones don't last either - the rear control arm ones that is.

I put some aftermarket rubber ones in a mates GQ, they were the same as the toyota ones with the small little hole in them, they were rubber, looked the goods, even looked like a genuine toyota part........lasted one outing.

be careful with aftermarket rubber.
