It was more of an experiment than anything else. Purely trying something different and now know better. I've since taken it off and will modify it in the future to a better and sturdier system
Thanks guys for your advice. Turns out that the solenoid for the EGR valve was faulty which allowed the valve to stay open, eventually overheating the engine ( blocked the valve off now, all sorted...
What P4trol was talking about, was that there is a hollowed out compartment inside the actual rear door and the knives are stored in there. It's actually quite a clever idea and one I'd like to...
Thanks for the replies guys, I may have made a mistake in saying I was leaving. I have no intentions on leaving the forum, you guys have been a blast to hear from and learn from...
Hello everyone,
Although I have only been a Nissan Patrol man for as long as I've been 4WD man (about a year now), my journey has come to a temporary end.
Due to excessive costs to fuel up,...
Im looking for more fuel economy so im not too sure if that will help me out. I wouldnt even begin to know how much a duramax cost let alone where to buy one or install it
Hi guys, Shonky here,
Theo the patrol has had a pretty rough life starting out as a mining vehicle for its first 130000 K's. We almost came to the point of trading the old fella in for a newer...
Cheers Kalan,
Ill get on checking it over the next few days. What would be involved in checking the injectors?
Hi guys Shonky here,
About 2 months ago, I did Theo's first major service since buying it, (Radiator and intercooler taken off and flushed, new engine oil, coolant, oil filter and fuel filter)...
Ok so it wasn't today but last week I did a service on Theo myself. Change oil and coolant, pulled all hoses off and degreased and cleaned them. Took of the intercooler and cleaned that out, took the...
Is that for a gq or gu? Where did you get the kit and for how much? My swivel hubs need a new seal kit especially my LH one
I never thought about cutting out the inner guts of the rear door. Would that do any sort of detrimental damage to the structure of the door in regards to the spare tyre? Buckle it perhaps?
Haha I do like the name... Let's call it that.
P4trol, I wish I did see that link earlier, it would have saved me a lot of hassle with the sliders. And it one "outdoes" mine cause it's got a...
Hey buddy, ive just made my rear door table. Check out my post http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showpost.php?p=268119
Hey everyone, Shonky the backyard mechanic here!
So I decided a while back that my first 4x4 Theo, will be a touring vehicle.
One of the projects I wanted to achieve was a different type of...
G'day buddy and welcome to the forum. When you head out towards wilcannia way, give me a shout out, I used to live there when I was younger (the old man was a cop posted out there) as well as broken...

While at work, I was learning to weld using a mig welder. For my first project, I decided to make a fishing rod holder for Theo. Got it all fitted and ready to roll for when I actually buy some rods...
I did think about the new door. That'll most likely happen later on and your right about getting a more expensive bar. I've heard plenty of horror stories about people buying cheaper bars and getting...
Took Theo for his first real run through the Pensylvania Forest near trunkey n.s.w. It started off being an exploration trip to find fun things to do in the forest, once we found next to nothing, I...
You've given me a lot to think about silver. This idea I have with the tube bar work was inspired by a hilux surf I saw at work last week. It had a somewhat similar setup but I think I'll have to...
