I'm no IT techo, just an average bloke who runs a few forums.

All we do is block the range as we receive a suspect membership application, eg 183.61.*

It won't stop them all but it will stop...

Yep but its still easy to block the whole range the way I mentioned and each time a new isp range is detected just add it to the blocked list.

I have successfully blocked out Chinese, Russian,...

Blocking an ip range should not slow your forum.

It is quite easy to block a complete ip range. I have done it many times.

Normally you would add an ip address to the banned or blocked list by entering the full ip address eg: 183.61.14.74

G'day Toddie

Here is the email I received. Not sure if it auto generated by the forum or sent by admin,

Dear Ric,
Someone has tried to log into your account on NissanPatrol.com.au Forum
with...

Just a warning. I received a notification from this forum. Apparently someone was trying to login to my forum account from a chinese ip address.

Make sure you have a good secure password and don't...

Hi Panther, Did you get the problem sorted out? It is definately the battery, no question. Voltage drop to 5 volts and clicking starter motor are classic indicators.

It should not drop below 10 or...

As Lucas30 says, Spray Fish Oil or Lanolin into each chassis rail

Reapply every coupla years..........Easy :)

Not a towball but I have seen the same thing happen when a tie down hook was used to try and snatch a car out of a bog. Luckily it flew back and went through the grill and not the windscreen but...

G'day Old grumpy
When you say your plugs were only glowing for about 7 seconds is that how long the Glow light stayed on for or was that until you heard the glow relay drop out?

In my MK the...

Hey Ferret, Did you get this sorted?. I had issues with my sd33t some time back. It would cut in and out a bit or cut out just after starting.

Two things to check. Check that the Oil presure...

Hey Trublu,

How did you go? Did you get her started.

One other thing I forgot to mention and I shoulda remembered because I had it cause me grief once. Check the main Positive connection onto...

Put a multi meter across the battery terminals while you try to start it. (Might need a mate to hold the meter probes firmly into the battery posts) and see what voltage it drops down to while you...

I've got the same problem in my 85 MK.
How do you get to the needle. Do you have to remove the whole cluster or is there an easy way to get to it?

Cheers Ric

Last I was aware it was still blocked by landslide towards the Bathurst end at Monaghans Bluff. Have not heard if it was reopened. This was a couple of years ago but the word was the council was not...

Hi mate

You mention clicking when trying to start. This sounds like low battery or bad connections. Check all main battery connections and also check the connections onto the starter motor as they...

The numbers were not correct. just random numbers ( should be 6 numbers after the SD33) but it should have the SD33 at the start and the "T" at the end.

I just checked my Gregory's manual and it...

G'day Andy
Did not notice if anyone else mention this but the Engine number will have a "T" at the end if its Turbo eg; SD3375427868T .

This is not to say that a previous owner has not fitted an...

Manual shouldn't be too hard to find. They come up on fleabay all the time and there are also a number of free download version.

The Nissan factory manual covers the petrol versions only. You need...

Have you tried adjusting the timing to eliminate the pinging? Also might be dodgy fuel.

Mine is a late 1985 LWB Deluxe 5 speed wagon with SD33T, all stock standard. I use it as a daily driver a few months every year.

Taught my son to drive in it and he can now jump into any vehicle...

This is not quite right.

Many MK's still had all 3 colour lenses.

It was only the Deluxe models with the factory flares/ wide wheel package and the spare wheel carrier mounted on the tailgate...

Suspension and steering were still not upgraded much until the Late 1985 models. That is when they fitted the best suspension (extra leafs) and improved the steering. Late 85/86 on have the best...

Very sorry to hear this news. Mongrels if found should be made to replace what they have destroyed. Adelaide from what I've read on another forum has had quite a few MK/MQ's stolen in the past couple...

Sure do
Not a huge difference in Torque but the sd33 Turbo develops max torque at 2000 rpm as opposed to 3200 rpm for the TD42 N/A

SD33T
3.3 litre, water cooled, diesel engine, turbo charged 4...
