I was lucky to score a sII loom and made my conversion more factory... everything is plug and play.
Good luck with all this mate.

I happened to find a bit of a bargain last night, I jumped onto GQ owners forum on Facebook at just the right time.
Found an Exceedy Tough Clutch for a TD42 with hardly any use and a brand new Thrust bearing...
That's another item crossed off the list

Guys, quick question.......
The HT18 turbo, is this any good?
I am building a stock standard 1999 GU TD42t motor, inter-cooled which i am dropping in my GQ and in order to get it mod plated i need the standard Nissan turbo set up.
Hence I am after your thoughts and experiences with HT18 or Safari Turbo set ups.
Thanks in advance
I logged onto ebay to check the progress of my recent purchases of an oil catch can and a pillar pod for my EGT and Boost gauges and just got the bargain of a lifetime, eBay TD42t lift pump, $15 + $10 postage…. Boom --- Sold, that saves me over $200 at Patrol-a-part …

Went away for the weekend and when I come home had my catch can turn up sitting on the table waiting for me...

Hey Andy, great write up so far.
I adapted my TB42e loom to suit the TD42t. It was super simple and I retained all my factory electrics. I'd recommend it.
GQJETT,
Yes thanks mate, i did read your thread on this and we communicated through the messaging on this site, it was you that convinced me to just run with the TB loom, so i think thats the way im heading to be honest. Just one question, what did you do with your ECU from the TB. Did you manage to just unplug it ? im guessing i wont be needed as there will be no TPS MAF EFI nothing ??
I may well hassle you for some advise if i get a bit stuck a bit nearer the time if that's ok, if you are near me in Skye, i can also supply beer if you would be willing to lend me a hand if i get super stuck ?:)
I am pretty sure you can be rid of the ecu and it is worth big money to sell... The only advantage I have is I have the clocks that have the water in fuel light and the glow plug light but I would not be bothered if I was to do it again and go the way Chappy did.
Ahh yes silly me, I had forgotten that we spoke. I just left my ECU in, it doesn't bother me sitting there.
I'm from the northern suburbs but I'm down in Mt.Eliza/Frankston quite a bit so if needed I can swing by and lend a hand, it's a good excuse to see some mates down that way.
To be honest it's super super simple, I recently helped a mate with his and we had it running within an hour. If you like shoot me a PM and I'll give you my phone number so you can call if you have any dramas.
