Brake Load Sensing Valve Spring doesn't hafta be horizontal, does hafta be 207mm (8.15")long top end of one hook to the top end of the other hook with a driver in the vehicle and no other load! Max length under max load should be 220mm (8.66") and with those lengths there is a pressure range between ...

Most people who haven't had a great background with diesel engines tend to use way too little in the way of revs. You should aim to be driving within the torque band, from about 1800 up to 3800-4200, and starting off you should be looking to achieve complete lift off on the clutch in the top 1/3rd ...

Got a set of brake lines for the back axle for about $15 from Nissan. Try the OE stuff, you might be surprised!

You DID get the right stuff! What you have'll work for the diff/gearbox you've got, there isn't really anything else that would be better, either! VMX80 is basically exactly the same stuff that Nissan use, except that VMX already has added the friction modifiers that Nissan put in after the oil from ...

Now that you've done the driving around, you've gotta drain all the goopout and put in fresh oil of the correct grade! LS140 should work, but your LSD won't start to work properly until you've done that oil change!! The oil and oil flush mix that you've got in there now will be slippery as and not ...

Having a hook straighten rather than breaking something is one of the reasons that you should always use a HOOK for snatch and tow recovery, and keep SHACKLES for the lesser shock load of winch recoveries. The recievers with a shackle attached are still able to strip the thread in the shackle and ...

Don't have much in the way of pics that'd help! The vehicle is on blocks right now, going thru a major refurbishment, and at this stage the rear is all pulled apart!! Try checking out the website for airbagman, www.airbagman.com.au I think??! If they don't have it on the website, they had pictures ...

Lift the mat in the back of the wagon rear, the bit over the fuel tank. There is a panel there that allows you to get at the sender unit of the original tank, and you can pull the sender out, bend the arm down a little, and put it back. It would be a trial and error thing to get it set right ...

You're right, gearbox AND transfer case breather, and up on the inner guard, the front diff breather joins in too, and the resulting single hose goes into the LHS front guard, terminating INSIDE the re-inforcing channel up high under the outer guard and about 20cm infront of the windscreen base. I ...

The double row bearing on the GQ axle is a 'destroy to remove item' and the whole thing requires a massive press to take off/put on! Often they will make musical noises (painful and unending) when either the spacer or seal starts spinning on the shaft, but they are on the OUTSIDE of the bearing assy ...

Full 'Airbagman' airbag conversion at retail prices including all the soleniods, air tubing, switches, guage, etc, but excluding air compressor and tank is in the vicinity of $1200 - $1300 per end, ie rear, $1200, front $1200, or thereabouts!

I've got full air in the rear of one of my GQ's and will ...

How're the numbers going people?? I think it still looks like only nine definitely inerested, but I could be wrong. I did float the idea thru the back door but they only said, "mmm, get enough people and we'll look at it!!" I asked how many was enough to get it done for sure, and the response had ...
