Hi Monty, I must have missed this post. Thanks for the reply mate, much appreciated. I think I've seen the blue patrol you mention too. Pretty schmick inside. I was in Adelaide a few weeks back hence...

What kind of fuel consumption figures are you guys getting?
I see people stating 12 - 14 litres per 100km for fairly unmodified engines. Is that about right?

Very good advice on the rattle can upgrade, I had not even considered that!

Whats the tell-tale signs of factory turbs?

My wandering eye keeps landing on td42 conversions. Enlighten me some more about the engines I might be seeing there.
Blacktop?
Silvertop?
Factory turbo?
Pulled from a GQ?
What is the best td42...

Non turbo

Thanks mate, all experiences are helpful

How does it feel driving a non turbo?
Are you always chasing power? Have you driven any GUs with other engine types to compare?

Which years had non turbo Gu td42s ?
I've spotted two clean low km examples.
What are the minimum requirements/ cost to turbo one of these to about the same specs as a factory turbo?

I think I nearly followed that

Ok, ok... IF I happened to go look at a converted td42, what are the danger areas? Let's say everything looks neat, there are receipts and quality parts used. What are some good questions to ask?

Just be happy for me

Great question cuppa. I've asked myself if I'd be happy in an NA TD42.
My dad's had the old cruiser on the farm for years and it seems to get along just fine.

Ok, let's have a quick side note on the infamous zd30.
How much of an improvement is the CRD over the Di? Does a CRD still want playing with to make it safe and worry free?
I lump them all together...

Looks like a nice rig. I think I'll have to keep under the 25k mark though unfortunately

I'm happy today because I jumped back on this forum. Did some digging around old posts, saw some great photos, catching up with some dudes and feeling the warm fuzzies!

Ahh, so all factory cooler models have bonnet scoops?
Are all factory coolers top mount?
Complete noob questions here, bear with me!
