When under heavy acceleration I am seeing boost climb rapidly, then the ECU seems to catch it and knocks the boost back. Boost climbs again almost immediately, ECU catches it again. Steady moderate...

Thanks for the replies,

Evil, no I haven't tried detuning it yet but will give it a go. EGT's hit about 600 on that climb but were only there for a very short time, I'll have to be a bit more...

Thanks Threedogs,

Gauges are just cheap SAAS but they are working, you can actually feel the "fault" when it is occurring. The car surges in time to the spikes. My chip does not have the rotary...

Hi all,

Late last year I had a 2.75" Beaudesert exhaust fitted as well as a DP Chip. Took a while to reallise the benefit of the chip as it wasn't the ball tearing performance upgrade that the...

Forgot to mention the sap. I recall the one pictured is not too bad, but some of the others, the sap is almost like battery acid. If you get it on your skin, wash it off straight away. Burns like...

These come in a lot of different types. The one pictured has fairly soft leaves and no spikes, while the americana agave has the nastiest spikes on the tips and almost a saw blade down the edges of...

Thanks Yendor,

That explains what happened with my old patrol. I had the reverse dimmer thing happening and in the end I just had them on when the lights were on with no dim function.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have a go today. Only problem is my Guage only have one wire for the lighting. Can I assume that the Blue with black trace is earth and just connect to the pink?

Seems I need a little more imagination when it comes to bookkeeping.

Thanks for the replies, might look at a long range tank before we do the Cape trip. Just need to work out how I can make the business pay for it instead of coming out of my own pocket.

Yeah, I'm starting to realise the gain isn't like standing start accelleration, rather more to do with highway overtaking, towing etc. The other day, coming back from Gladstone I caught up to a...

Diesel left too long can develop algae. I don't know how long, too long is though.

Thanks Mudrunner,

I use it every time too, but just think it silly that they ditched the automatic transfer feature. I also wonder why the 2.8 came with a fan under the intercooler but they...

Having just moved from a '99 GU II to a 2012 model I noticed a change in the way that the sub tank pump operates. In the old car, the transfer pump operated for a short period every time the car was...

Thanks for the reply, it reminded me of another gripe I have with the new car. I'll start a new thread about the sub tank so I get relevant responses. And if I ever get the bloody switch out I'll...

Hi all,

Over the last few weeks, I've been doing a few electrical mods. I want to get to the back of the instrument light dimmer to connect the backlighting in my boost and pyro guages. Seem to...

Will have to check the dyno printout when I get home from the office.

Thanks Threedogs,
My chip has seven steps. They are selected using a small jumper and not using a rotary dial. They are normally delivered set at 4, after installation the guy who fitted it had...

I should type faster. My previous post was being composed before your last post, so looks a bit out of order. Funny you should mention the pillar pod. Did this the weekend after the chip and...

Threedogs, I just read your signature and noticed you've got a DP Chip. Are you happy with it, and did it feel like the kick in the backside that the suppliers and resellers seem to indicate you...

Yeah definately a typo. And yes, massive difference between the two vehicles. I was always pretty impressed with the 2.8, overall pretty zippy once the turbo came on song. Really suffered when you...

The mods started before delivery. I had them fit a snorkel and towbar pre dilivery. ARB Bullbar was preordered and part of the sale. A few weeks later the bullbar was fitted and now it looks like...

Here's a pic of my new baby taken the day of the test drive. Trading up from a '99 GU RD28 to a 2012 GU 3.0 CRD was a real eye opener. Took over a week before I got used to the clutch and extra...

Hi all,

Recently started looking for some mapping software to run on my Samsung Tablet (I refuse to buy Apple products) I have downloaded a copy of Memory Map which some seem to suggest is a good...

Hi all, new to this forum and just joined recently. I had a '99 GU with the 2.8 motor for a number of years and a couple of months back traded her for a 2012 plate with the 3.0 CRD engine. Talk...
