Hi, after checking/adjusting the timing on the patrol, TB45e engine. Want some confirmation on the process to do this.

Not something I've done before (have done more complex things, just not...

Hi, replaced the fuel pump as it's been playing up for a while now. In the process the negative wiring at the top of the sender broke flush with the plastic cap. (I attempted a solder job but that's...

Draw a line directly north of Licola about 25-30km's, that's Butcher Country. Maps for the area show exactly where the track runs, river runs southerly in the same area. Some good tracks, and nice...

It was given to the public as a carbon/environmental tax to please the green fanatics, in reality it was a resources tax, to make it cost more to run conventional power and in turn give an incentive...

Gotten a new paint job, new rubber, different sliders (changes aren't really visible in this image) and went to the snow.

Maybe if I remain quiet at work I could do up a NissanPatrol.com.au one :)

Probably should mention I have just replaced my air flow sensor and a lot of other maintenance in the past few months, but don't have any figures after all the work yet.

Best I've managed on the freeway with gas was 20L/100km, I was being very gentle with the pedals though. 22 is normal. Petrol I have managed to get 16L/100km, usually closer to 18ish on the highway....

Went on Saturday, got there right at 9, little traffic, drove right up to the parking ticket sellers, show tickets had a few empty ques so easy too, went straight to the stands I was interested in,...

This thread shows how to change the auto hubs into manual to stop that problem. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?596-Fixing-GQ-GU-auto-hubs

I didn't know of it at the time mine...

Been doing a bit more research lately, most places use DN40 (outside 48.3mm) for the tube, again for clearance, weight and so the slider isn't too stiff to risk the chassis. Probably the better way...

My 2000 GU had worn bushes, bit of a wobble, etc after a bit of use off road, just spent a bunch getting a the remaining ones replaced with genuine rubber, the ones on there were very bad, some might...

Cheers. Scrapped the plans to actually try build them as I have never welded before, and found some custom fabricators that already build very similar designs (theirs would be accurate anyway as they...

Bushes and bearings, those kind of items are expected to be worn, even the power steering pump and dif for a 20 year old vehicle, but that rust with the steel plate, that's a bad one. That should...

To be fair, the body was taken off the internet and I modified it, added bullbar, the sliders, rear bar, wheels/tyres lights roof rack etc. This is what it started out as.

Ignore the cuts/funny...

Regarding the full engine reco, different car for me (was my falcon) but mechanic (trustworthy) said so many cars at that age and newer really need a full reco and not just a head, some cars can get...

When I finished up with the rockslider design (as seen in the other post http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?14185-Rockslider-FEA-Stress-analysis), I decided to turn the model which...

Hey guys, just some pretty pictures. Work is a engineering consultancy firm, which means I go through periods of being flat out when we win work, to periods of dead quiet when we lose some bids in a...

Working in engineering, we source quotes for valves, steel sections/pipes, etc. Recently we had lost the last large quantity pipe and coating manufacturers. (Still small scale factories around, but...

More like only been 'in' the beach once. Imagine trying to get the sand out of it when cleaning :)

All good to laugh afterwards, but the owners wouldn't have had a nice day...

Delayed response, finally remembered it. Couldn't actually put the spreadsheet up, but gives an idea of some engine/transmission combos (only some of them).

I have the TB45E, the clutch in that is a sealed unit, not rebuildable. Have heard of people drilling holes into them, changing oil and sealing back up though. Ended up working out mine was still...

I done an excel spread sheet comparing different transmission/dif/transfer combinations, will try and find it and post it up. I do remember my 4.5 petrol auto was shocking compared to the manual,...

So far have heard them called simply valves (from engine course at uni), one mechanic called them tappets (in his 40's or 50's), another called them lifters (in his 30's). Buckets is new to me. So...

7. The power button also speeds up gear changes, along with the other mentioned things it does, it is ideal for hill climbs. Not necessary though, have a play. If it's the same as mine, the standard...

definately misworded that, thanks kristoffa, edited my post.
