Nice scenery. Any info about your tent?
Nice scenery. Any info about your tent?
G'day all,
From far west NSW.
Inherited my grandfathers 2003 ZD30DI and are interested is all the things i can good with and to the vehicle.
I've got kids No 3 on the way so that just means...
Just made my first patrol purchuse. 2010 GU. Hopefully got some more lovely times with her ahead. Hoping i can find some good advice on here for future problems ! cheers
Well it has been a long time since I posted here. A long time. Built a Shed. Installed a Hoist. Had a Hip Replacement. Covid19.
This one has been rattling around in my head for a couple of years...
Yeah dads ZD has over 400K still still runs perfect, towed all over Aus as well all bog stock apart from boost & EGT guages. . Luck of the draw I guess sure there's plenty out there that have given...
FYI. "NADS" will not stop the inevitable happening. My ZD was NADded 30 thou after it was rebuilt. 150thou later, the Injector pump died, i decided to ditch the motor. The head was taken off and...
"Thar she blows!"
Has it got the Nissan Anti-Detonation System installed (NADS) If so then maybe consider it. Go NADS!
Talk to the owner about what has been done to the grenade, er, engine and...
Hey Everyone
Had plenty of 4WDs but mainly ending with OTA...
My first Patrol and planning to bring my 280,000KMs GQ Ute back to its former glory.
Middle aged dude with too much of obsession...
Please do be careful though Nowlzy Mate!
I didn’t word correctly as usual above [emoji51]
At higher beach speeds stuck in 4WD you may still safely require the full housing gear oil volume for heat...
Will just be an axle seal mate.
Far from a mechanic me Nowlzy Mate, but from this little iphony screen looks like you are correct, simple axle oil seal gone.
Not a huge fix, wheels/brake/stub axles off & out. Slide each axle/cv...
Hi all,
First time poster, long time reader. This forum has been a great help to me over the years with information spread all over it about various topics. Decided it was time to actually create...
Yeah, these handle 30amps constant, no problem at all
You would be Mad to paint Over rust. Especially if yoy are paying someone to paint. A decent shop would Never paint over rust. Cut it out and repair everything before paint.
Blue over for me. But I did (and still do) like the early 80s flare paint jobs. Don't see them around any more though.

They do both look great Nowlzy Mate!
Gotta love shorties too, just please do be very careful on super steep inclines with them little GQ rippers [emoji106][emoji106]
Any chance either of you blokes...
Reckon the two tone looks pretty good on a shorty actually. .

Another option Nowlzy Mate[emoji106]
Full Blue paint and maybe a set of reduction gears coin if needed with working pump when off turbo that poor Rossco unfortunately suffered hence having to push...
Full Silver Brumbies are tough as looking I reckon too Nowzly Mate [emoji106]

Even tougher and rpm torque lower when their unfortunate injector pump debacles are...
It is definitely possible. You would really want someone to match yoyr paint colour rarher than just the paint code as it is 25yo and won't me correct.
The only way you would get away with it is...
To me, the two tone looks nice.
Leak sealer is a temporary fix to get you home. As TJ says, sounds like a head gasket if you are lucky or a cracked head if you are not. Don't rely on it keeping on working. Get it looked at and my...
Sounds like a head gasket to me. Pretty decent hole if you're ending up with coolant in the exhaust. I'd suggest with a leak that bad your k-seal stuff won't last long.
I had a local fitter/engineer turn a piece of bright steel into a drift that made it easier to use my 10 ton Supercheap press to fit the bushes. Only for $10-15 but I provided the steel.
I suggest to buy yourself a cheap press. Those cheap units on eBay with a 12T bottle jack work really well for doing suspension bushes. The money you spend now on a press will outweigh getting...
