There is a member on here that done it to his GU Nissan Patrol 3.0Di using the Jatco RE4R03A Transmission, so can't see why not on the 4.2Quote:

Ask the question in its own thread and hopefully he will see it

Thank you, checked it out and it seens the transmission is the same but the TCU is a little different poto attached as said factory TD4.2 Auto cant add pic but control unit is NTC 57
Hopefully you can find a service manual which covers your TCU. It will probably do the same thing with the torque converter, but may use a different coloured wire to do it. We have a couple of Canadian members here who may be able to help you, as I think they have Nissan "Safari"s which used autos behind diesel engines sometimes.Quote:

WHAT A RIPPER!
Thanks Chubba and you're welcome. Others here have helped me heaps, so this is just passing it on.
Sorry I missed your reply here way back when you posted it.
Hi ripper can you tell me where the torque converter lock up solenoid is located so I can have ago at installing your system. Thanks Benrosti
Not sure myself but assume the solenoid is in the box itself , you don't need access to it just the wire coming from the tcu which is in the front passenger side kick panel .Quote:

Reading what ripper has posted it seems that our GQs won't lock up in first gear only 2 and up unless you upgrade the valve body .
Ripper would be able to confirm but I don't think he's a regular user of the forum .
Ok thanks patrol freak Looks like I need the up grade on the valve body too
