Anyone have an aftermarket Airbox in their rb30? What do you do with the vac lines that feed into the stock one? Plug them? What do they all do?

dom14 you still around here mate?

Think I'm going to do away with the airbox completely and move to a patroldocta style one or similar. Have heard most people block off the vac lines from carby to airbox with no ill effects, anyone...

mudnut on your snorkel post earlier (page 13 from memory). Have you done anything to seal the top of the airbox to the carby? I know there's a rubber seal there, but IMO it's a weakpoint and whilst I...

Yet to replace the button, but rev limiter is down to 4k now. Don't know why they keep doing this, the car sits for long periods so maybe they just get lazy from not moving, I dunno.

One has been from Bursons, the other Repco. No idea on the actual brand.

Yeah they're good for a while giving me 6300 or whatever. But they just seam to wear quick and I can't get it past 4800...

Forgot all about getting pictures. Job was easy enough, was given the wrong p/s belt so that was annoying.

dom14 where are youuuuu?

In other news, car has it's power back with new fan clutch,...

Need to remove clutch fan and drive belts, swap clutch hub and fan over. Will try to remember to take some pics, hopefully help anyone else that may need to do it.

You still around Dom? Been a...

Are you running gas or PULP? I don't have the manual in front of me, is factory timing 5 degrees? Can't remember what I've set mine at haha.

Unreal economy mudnut!

Definitely need a tune on yours Patrol'n, FWIW I got around 23L/100km fully loaded, with a kayak on the roof and towing a 1.5T camper trailer (That was running 35's too,...

Interesting. I guess I better start bending a window wiper!

That's brilliant. I've never thought of the stick pushing out, though mine doesn't take much effort to remove at all. The seal is good, and I looked at a new one from Nissan and by looks my seal...

Hey mate, great figures. Can I ask what accessories you've got (tyres/barwork/auto-man/roof rack/winch/draws)? I get 15 on the highway which I'm happy with (on 35s, winch+front bar, draws with 150kg...

If upgrading to a higher output alternator, I would definitely be running a higher capacity wire from the alternator to the battery.

Thanks Dom - I made it through last summer without it, it wasn't the hottest summer, and I'm not a big believer in being in the middle of a dry forest on a hot day!

Have a few other plans for the...

Don't think it's been removed. There is nothing at all for the AC there. No buttons. No wires. No pipes. No condenser.

Anyone fitted one up after the fact? Wonder how hard it would be to add on.

Not fitted :( I'm guessing it was an option on the st30 range?

Yeah they are good old trucks. People rubbish the rb30's, but I'm really happy with mine. Just wish it had a/c!

Yeah just took a bit of getting used to how to drive it. With the 35's, I don't use 5th too often anymore, unless I've got some nice flats, but other than that, she'll sit on 110kph all day. Longer...

Sorry for the delayed response mate, only just saw this.

RB30S, running original diff ratio's (pretty sure they are 4.3 from factory). Recent trip around Tassie, did a tad over 3000kms, a lot of...

I get about 16L/100km on the hwy - 3" lift, 35's, winch, bar, snorkel, draws. Recent trip to Walhalla, did 150km hwy, 100km low range, 150km high range, ended up with 19L/100km which I'm happy with....
