the flywheel torque is on the engine mechanical page, EM-31. its 147-167 Nm (15-17 kg-m, 108-123 ft-lb)
no mention of thread lock which was new for me, but also a lot tighter than others i've done.

ah its just one of those things, time constraints and all, and then once in a while you get a night with the missus out so you can sit down and read a forum :P

shame i didn't have the manual...

more food for thought, how'd you go about washing your snatch strap? we through ours into the washing machine for a spin, seemed to work a charm :P just only use soap, been told to avoid detergents,...

I had a Gq SWB TD42
After the first child i got a Gq LWB TB42, for that little bit more room.

further the body is away from the wheels, the bigger the tyres you can run.
you can also run a bigger fuel tank
you may run into issues with your bullbar, will need to be modified to fit.
you will...

i ran thermos on my drift car and was not happy with the cooling under load, switched back to clutch fan and everything was sweet tempture wise.
my mate ran twin thermos and never had an issue.

My friend fitted 33's on his LWB Gq with 2inch HD suspension lift. These only just touched his flares on full travel, he trimmed them and it did not rub again. This was with a -22 offset rim.

my old GQ shorty (td4.2-manual) would get around 700 km from a tank, about 12l per 100Km on highway and 13-14 towing or going uphills.

I helped a mate fit 2inch body lift to his d21 Navara. It was reasonably simple (with the right tools) and enabled him to go from 28inch tyres to 32inch tyres.
The Navara suspension is not easy to...

sorry mate, dident see page two.

looks like your test setup is all ok, my mates fuel pump was different to yours, it was more like this :

Ok, so going on my mates old SD33td patrol.

You have a fitting on the fuel pump that has nothing connected. On his there was a mechanical primer pump. This had the fuel in line going to it (thro...

I would say the light loads would be fine in 5th, however the higher loads might be recomended to downgear quickly and use 5th on the dead flats or downhill.

as soon as your on an incline...

Hey

My mate has a Gu patrol and he fitted 2inch suspension lift and 35inch tyres. These scrubbed on flex and would really need another 1-2 inch lift to fit comfortably. 35's are great for off road...

haha that is the budget idea
i didn't say it was wise, but it still makes me laugh thinking of the silly things we've done

also for my other toy, buying an open diff every now and again and...

ah, at the moment it seems like its around 24l/100km - just seems to be going through the juice more than before, though the fourbie now does a lot more low speed, stop-start trips than it did a...

hi everyone
I'm looking for a bit of help adjusting the idle circuit on the nikki carby on the tb42. I don't have that much experience with carbies, but what I know is that the carby is running on...

so heres how to lock up a MQ front diff, with little regard for the bearings and so such.

note, although i did the welding, i don't recommend it really. and if you do want to do it, use a stick...

thanks for the correct names
its a shame they have been putting in more gates and the like, i really enjoyed that access road run.

i've never been down to collie and brunswick for offroading,...

I see what you mean, but i've always used my maths with the marine deep cycle units and been happy with it, probably because it gives you a lower value than actual haha

Just wondering why testing...

this is actually the first time i've done this on a forums haha

my name's michael, a lot of people know me as melts though, partly because its my nickname everywhere and partly because its unique...

haha I'll try, to be honest I help manage a forum set up around Nissans from the other end of the spectrum, and have a similar posts policy, but we lock out the for sale section, to prevent people...

scratching my head as to why this was overlooked, everyone got CCA - cold cranking amps, but no mention of RC - reserve capacity which is how many minutes it can deliver 25 amps before falling below...

seeing as this section is such a lonely place, I thought it'd be good to try and lure in some WA members to post where they have been and what they'd rate the adventure

media would be good too, if...

interesting idea, shame its manual :p
add me tho, mandurah, wa, 6210 - can use erskine, wa, 6210 to be more accurate and not stack my car icon on the other mandurah guy - i don't know if its one...
