Prob a little late, but replacing o2 sensors and preforming idle air learn permanently rid my 4.8 of P1122. Been a good 3 months now.

Next was to build the actual draws.

These were not fun.

I am no carpenter, I work with metal, I didn't even do woodwork in highschool.

After much cursing and a fair few beers, I managed to...

POWAAAA, I NEED POWWWWAAAA

The following weekend, I purchased a deep cycle, fully sealed, 130Ah gel battery and a thunderpower DC-DC charger.

I needed to fit this inside of the cab due to the...

Next on the list was somewhere to sleep.

All you GU owners know, the rear seats fold up to reveal a horribly uneven floor unlike my old surf that folded perfectly flat.
I decided to build a draw...

Not being the type of bloke to leave things the way they are for very long, out came the daisy wheel and drill.

I've always been a fan of the minimalist look, so gone were the ST stickers and the...

Well, I suppose I'd better get some info up now I've had her a month.

While looking for an 80 series (I know, I know...), I came across a full on "My Family" sticker speced 4.8 auto ST.
While...

+1 for inside the car, years ago i had a little bit of a "spark" when a half decent sized rock was thrown up and pinched the cable.
A lot of burned battery cable and one destroyed battery....

Id tend to agree with GeeYou8, wire in a parklight bypass switch. Easy and straight forward.

With the XGT's, the locknuts are fairly recessed into the mount itself so would be very difficult to get vicegrips on them.
The only way I can see to get them off (in tact) would be to use a set of...

Bought the genuine lightforce locknuts.... worth their weight...

Light Vehicle Mechanic / Mechanical Fitter

Spent first 10 or so years building racecars because its cool.

Realized where the money was, pulled my finger out and did another apprenticeship...

Let us know how it goes, very interested in getting one myself

Theivin' pr***s having a go at my 11 day old lightforces....

Locknuts did their job but they took my covers...

I assumed (being the mother of all f*** ups) when talking about a trans cooler, people would be intelligent enough to understand that I was talking about an auto and not some obscure idea to cool a...

Hi Mate,

Love to see some pictures of where your'e wheeling!

Welcome, good to see another westerner...

Looking to do this upgrade, has anyone used/seen anything particularly good on the market?

Will eventually be doing some towing through sand, just a small trailer.

Might be worth finding a local independent guy that can preform this before going to nissan to be bent over though?

So after a grand total of 8 days of Nissan ownership, it broke down on me....

My regular cheapy ($100) scantool was as useless as the proverbial on a bull. After a little research, I found an...

No factory diff lock either..
Might try unplugging the the ABS fuse and see what happens.

I'm pretty sure it's a fly by wire system, and it feels as though it's limiting throttle output from the pedal. It really struggles to turn the tyres on a lime stone track with your foot lightly on...

Negative.... Only a snow button.

Just to be clear, I don't think this is a fault in the transmission, I'm pretty sure it's doing what it is supposed to do, I just don't like it.

I've got a pretty good idea of autos, I built them...

Hi guys,

I have just recently purchased a 5 speed auto TB48. Love the auto to bits.

Except.

It refuses to hold first gear, in 2wd/4wd high and low. Even trying to manually select it, it can...

Being a HD and LV mechanic that's worked in mining all over the Pilbara, I've always stayed away from nissans due to the navaras being no where near as durable as the hilux. You don't really see a...
