I say welcome to the forum Sam. Bloody great conversion!!!

The catch can will have zero effect on your oil leaks from the rocker cover or injector seals.

If it is doing the same thing with two different transmissions then I would think that they are probably not the cause of the overheating, but maybe it would be good to fit a transmission cooler? ...

I've got a 2004 3.0 auto. Has a suspension lift, 33 inch tyres, roof rack and bullbar and I usually get about 12.5L/100kms.
Based on that you should be getting 1000kms per tank (if you're brave...

is it going into limp mode?

Does anyone know why Nissan decided it was a good idea to put the thermostat for the ZD30 engine on the lower radiator hose instead of the top one like most other engines?
Makes changing the...

I had a noise in my 3.0 turbo that was sounding a bit like a blow off valve when backing off (we don't have one of those either!).
Ended up being a crack in between the flange and the dump pipe on...

Thanks PeeBee

It's a private sale, and I haven't actually been to see the car in person yet (hopefully next weekend). If it were through BD or a dealer I guess I'd feel a little less nervous as...

Hi Guys

I've been reading through the thread for a few days now trying to soak up as much info as I can. I'm looking at buying an all ready converted GU with the turboed 6.5 + 4L85E. Apart from...

Turns out it was the starter motor. Have replaced with a new one and is 100% better than before. Yet to pull the old one apart to see what was wrong.......
Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks for the ideas. I've cleaned up all of the connections this morning. They weren't too bad but are all shiny and clean now so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll see how it goes in the morning...

Hi All

First up HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Secondly I'm looking for some advice. My ZD30 patrol has been having a few starting problems recently.

Here's what happens : The car has been left...

Hi All

Having a few dramas with the Patrol at the moment. The bracket that the aircon pump mounts to has fractured and was threatening to break completely off. I have searched every wrecker I...

Shouldn't be the plugs as they're not really needed when the motor is hot (usually). Other things to check are compression, air leak somewhere in the fuel line allowing the injector pump to suck...

+1 for the guide linked in the post above.
I just did my front bearings and it is a great guide.

There is definitely 2 big grease seals. 1 goes on the back of the disc rotor ( I think that's...

Sounds like a good idea, I've been thinking about that myself. Should be pretty easy to install too. I have a touch screen stereo in my Patrol with GPS etc and have installed a switch that...

Hi Nixon

I don't know what others are doing with their fuel filters, but I change mine every 2nd service unless I have reason to think that I may have got dirty fuel and then I'd do it at each...

Thanks for the replies. I think I will order those filters so that I have them here for when I need them.
My Third 256 - that oil price was for Penrite HPR at supercheap. I Don't remember seeing...

Hi Richard
I spliced into the wire on the big relay under the bonnet.

Hi Everyone

Getting organised for doing a service on my ZD30 in the next few weeks.

Went to Supercheap today and priced up the filters :
Ryco Oil filter $34.50
Ryco Air filter $39.99
Ryco...

Hi Richard

I have done an override switch on my ZD30. Not sure how similar to yours this will be but here goes.....

The Relay has 4 wires going into it. Two Big wires, that are the 12 volts...

OMG I hope not...... Feeling especially poor after paying to get the engine recond. Can I ask who diagnosed your injector pump?

Thanks for the replies! I have checked the main earth connections and cleaned them up and re-tightened them just to be sure. Hasn't helped the Glow plug issue tho. I have the car going back for...

Hi All

Due to my ZD30 spinning a balance shaft bearing, I have just had the engine reconditioned and fitted by a mechanic. Picked the car up on Thursday and he has replaced the glow plugs (not...

Hi all. So it seems the zd30 is not doing so well. Changed the oil and the filter is full of metal. Also metal in the oil that drained out of the sump. Hmmm not happy Jan. Still runs but not...
