Thanks for the info Joe. Can you provide a break down on costs to complete the job.
cheers
Mike

Thanks HL. The brakes offer too much bite and too little feel, partic in the wet with a camper on the back. Too easy to lockup. In comparison I found the Nissan pads had no bite or feel, so maybe...

Looking at one of the modification guides it suggests that brakes are impacted by the stiffness and height of suspension upgrades and that the rear brake proportioning valve (BPV) control arm should...

There was some talk from the mob that offer the $12k upgrade of the inclusion of a performance module in the tuning side in addition to the custom pump and the rest. I think it was referred to as a...

Thanks guys. One shop I spoke to offer a 160-180rwkw offering with chip, custom pump/injectors, turbo, CC intercooler, aluminium radiator and tuning for $12k which is a lot of coin. So it got me...

Looking at the various performance upgrades for a TD42T/Ti. for touring/towing applications. What are the various levels of upgrades and rough costs assuming work done by a shop. Lets say a standard...

Ring Obsession 4x4 in Melton. They've been doing a few TD42Ts of late. Patrolapart in Lilydale is another converter. Getting a good engine is half the challenge

Mine has done two heads in 180,000km. Others have done lots of miles without issue. At the head place they had pallets of Nissan ZD heads, loads more than any other. Make your own call but IMO it...

Repco has 20% off sale a few times a year for auto members ie RACV. In fact it is on for the month of July. I buy all my parts from Nissan though.

If it were me I'd just bite the bullet and pay someone to do the job. If you don't have the right tools it takes way too long with the risk of personal injury. If you load your vehicle close to GVM...

If you've got heaps of electrical accessories a second earth is a cheap addition to keep everything running at its peak. My cruise control wouldn't work consistently with the air conditioning on...

Like others have said, go for quality. The alloy ones are not as popular as steel so there's not too many available second hand. You can normally get one for half price if used of either. Steel is...

3" is better to reduce EGTs. Don't base all your decisions on price. Compare design, materials, workmanship etc.

I feel your pain. Mine has done that twice. Rooted head on both occasions. Could be a lot of things. Start with the cheap things and work from there.

Size, weight, height, real suspension etc - all translates to something that drives like a bus. Pajero is more car like in every way and there is cost savings involved

The trick is to keep moving - stopping creates the problems.

Mine does 90kw at the rear wheels and 777nm torque - from the dyno. TaipanXP pipe, tweaked chip, boost control, cross country 4x4 intrcooler but standard air cleaner running through a snorkel. Goes...

I've had an Autron fitted since new in an 05 ZD30. No the best unit. Surges over hills and when you set it, only the resume the original speed a few moments later. Also can be problematic with bad...

Biders 4WD, Cranbourne, give them a call to quote price

The $300 should be for a full rodding, not just cleaning the external. Gets all the build up out of the core. Intercooler fans work better from below where they suck air through the IC - the benefit...

If you check out Simon Christie’s 4WD Pro Tips – Episode 24, on the website, Brett from Obsession 4x4 does an LS2 conversion on Danny's 80. Pricing was around $14-16k for a TD42T conversion. Add more...

I've got an ARB air locker in mine - had it for 6 years. Can't comment on the others. Not great for going around corners, but it will if you need to. I only use mine in bumpy terrain where the lumps...

From memory, taking the lid off the air cleaner and pulling it aside helps to get down there. Expect some hand bruising and loss of skin all will be well. Thankfully you don't need to do this job...

Check the battery. Had some issues with mine and the battery number didn't match that for my model. Replaced the battery with the right one and all was well again.

Thanks Threedogs, met a guy travelling who had split the coupling successfully and relubed it on his DI - so it can be done. I don't normally work on the car so I'm just fumbling around in the dark...
