G'day guys,
At the end of 2020 I had an ARE intercooler fitted to my 2010 GU Patrol (the $696 one listed here - https://www.are.com.au/Inter/topMountIntercoolers.htm). At the time I was losing...
Thanks Growler. I was actually booked in at Ultimate Diesel Tuning here in Melbourne to get an ECU remap (which included a de-soot and from memory a modification to when/how the turbo is actuated)...
Growler - thanks for that - out of interest, where did you get the tune/remap done and how much difference did it make for you??
It's been a while - hope everybody has survived lockdown OK!!
I did a search but couldn't find any threads on fuel economy even though I seem to recall seeing one a few years back. Anyway, I've...
Aluminium handle with a steel head and aluminium, nylon, and brass striking faces.
A good mate of mine is pretty handy with a lathe. I was admiring the soft face hammer he had made himself and was stoked when he said he would make one for me for $80. His had aluminium and plastic...
I went with ARE cooling - $696 and it made a massive difference for me (very happy with it)

OK - I've got a 2010 GU Patrol with ZD30. When I got it it had 3" exhaust and a Tunit device and I think that's about all that has been done to the engine (except for a 2nd fuel filter). Anyway,...
Nice one Grant - if you're in Penrith then I'm guessing you did your Chocco time at Kingswood? I was there for 3 months in 1991 at 133 Sig Sqn as a part of my first year of OJT as an Electronic...
When I was wiring up my reverse lights today I noticed that up under the rear RH corner of the car there was a small electrical box and when I looked on the side of it it says that it's a tyre...
So I got the new ARE Intercooler in, the MAF Sensor is clean, and I have wound the TuneIt chip back down to 5.......seems OK for the short bit of running around that I have done within 5 km of home...
So I got the reverse lights on and finished wiring them up - had to muck around a bit as the cable entry into the back was in the rear RH corner but then I had to run it across to the LH side light...
These only draw half an amp and I measured it up today.....I am looking at removing the factory "recovery point" from under the rear doors, putting in 4 x grub screws to cover the holes, and then...
Funnily enough I am currently working as a contractor on an Armoured vehicle program. Towing and Recovery Points for armoured vehicles in Australia need to meet a DEF(AUST) standard but that refers...
I finally got my winch fitted up a few weeks ago after it sat in the shed for 3 months or so (although now we are in lockdown and so my only "recovery" so far has been to winch my son in from the...
I've mounted a reverse camera but I need some additional light for reversing up to the boat on those pre-dawn outings (currently I get a torch with a magnet out of the shed and attach it to the...
I'm considering one of these too but it might be down the track a bit - I was looking at the ARE Stealth Scoop for $588 but it apparently comes in matt black and so unless I want the GU to look a bit...
I did that too - knocked it back to 5 again on the chip.....guess the real test will be once lockdown is over and I'm allowed to tow the boat again!!
So I cleaned the MAF sensor - have only driven it twice since then and I'm not sure if I am imagining it or not but it seems to be more responsive when accelerating (noting that I am only driving...
Thanks Mudski. Did the MAF sensor yesterday - got a bit of dirt off of it but it didn't look to be very dirty to me. I took the plastic cover off from around the intercooler and as per the photos -...
I've never changed the factory filter but it has a pre-filter fitted and I changed it about 10,000 km ago. How often should the factory fuel filter be replaced?
Thanks Mudski - I haven't ever cleaned the airflow meter but might have a look at doing it during the next 6-weeks of lockdown!! I will also check the intercooler (which is the original) - out of...
Hey guys - first time back in the forum for a while......life is busy and time gets away!!!
I've got a 2010 manual GU Wagon with ZD30 and 126k on the clock. When i bought it it had 3" exhaust,...
Thanks for the heads up. Been thinking about getting a 2nd set of wheels and wondering how big I can go without having to do any body modifications. Couple of more questions: Do you ever get...
Nice vid - love mountain biking up there but haven't explored free camping options (yet!!).
Out of interest, what combination of rims/tyres are you running? I've got a 2010 ST with a 2" lift kit...
