Post some pics, I could be interested

I went down this track only 8 months ago. I used my local HM GEM engine shop to get me the parts and do the cylinder liner fitting and machining. If you can find the thread that i wrote earlier this...

Yeah well i have just recently given the old girl a new lease on life with a full engine rebuild to turbo specs and fitted a t04 (ebay copy) and front mount cooler. So its got plenty of life left in...

Hi all, i currently have a 1992 td42 gq with turbo and front mount. I am also toying with the idea to update to a gu. I have a question for all owners of the 3.0 gu's. When did nissan start to sort...

I rebuilt my 94 td42 over Christmas last year and I used Hm gem to source a rebuild kit and to put new sleeves in the bore and machine them. Needed the conrod bearings machined too. Kit cost $800 and...

I had to fully rebuild my gq's td42 and i had to get the bores re-sleeved and machined, new pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets. All the parts cost about $800. Machine work cost about another $700. All...

No I didn't but I'm thinking I will soon.

Well I had a bit of a play around with the injector pump. I found the fuel screw and wound it out bit by bit with the car running and giving it a rev. Just wound it out until it revved up with next...

Its not running to badly, its slow but that seems normal lol. Just seems to pump the soot out more than i think it should. Just want to do a few checks.

Hi all, just got a few questions about my td42 in a 92 GQ. I have just recently rebuilt the engine in it and i am having trouble with it blowing a fair bit of black smoke up hills, under load etc. It...

Just at a guess it could be your head gasket leaking and you could be getting compression down the oil return galleries. Is it getting any smoke or misty oil coming out of the filler hole with the...

I only took a couple of photos of the damage beforehand. The engine is at the stage of having the crank and pistons in now and i haven't taken any photos yet. I will start to take photos from now on...

Got the block re sleeved and bored etc and have started to re assemble. All gone smoothly and there was only a week turn around on the machine work through HM gem in bendigo. The price tag for the...

Yeah, well I haven't got the turbo or anything yet. So I can't measure that. I'm going to take your word for it and use 5/8 or 16mm. The engine rebuild has cost a fair bit with all the little extras...

Yeah i think i will be heading down that path, i just dont know what size to put in there.

Thanks mate, that would be very helpful. I have the motor out all stripped down ready for the rebuild. I'm not putting a turbo on right now but i will be in the near future. It would be a good time...

Has anyone got any pictures of the turbo drain barb that you tap / weld into the sump. What size diameter is the tube? 10, 12mm??

Well i've done some ringing around and sorted out getting a rebuild kit with 6 semi finished sleeves then getting an engine shop to remove and fit them then machine them to suit. Another thing i was...

So I have pulled the big girl down now. Head seems good, and straight. Pulled all the pistons out and found that number 2 piston must have picked up in the bore in the moment of overheating. The...

Hi everyone, i have just recently had a mishap with my GQ patrol. I left the radiator cap off and warmed it up a little much. The main reason i am posting is to find out if anyone has rebuilt there...

Castlemaine Vic 3450

Well i tried everything in my power to try get the sucker out. Including about a metre of extention bars with no luck so i bit the bullet and took it to the mechanic. It cost $100 but i guess it...

Sorry i should have said. 15" rim.

Hi guys i'm chasing a 33" tyre to use as a spare, the other 4 are bighorns so one of them would be great. So if anyone nearby would have one they want to part with. Preferably a mud tyre. I'm located...
