Hi guys been a while, but i now have a 2001 GU Zd30, it has a new head, new Radiator, all the anti grenade mods, egt gauge and boost gauge. I have had it on the road for about 8 months no worries...

I have a mobile its an old nokia and I rarely use it. I put $20 of credit on it every few months and that's it (I make maybe 1-2 calls a month on it, usually to my wife!).
My wife convinced me to...

Put a new Radiator in the old bus, only to have the starter motor die!
So I gave it a wash and it will sit there till i can afford a new starter motor!

I made the decision to evacuate my family from home on saturday morning, i followed a few hours later. Luckily a wind change saved our town from the fires.
The fire fighters have been doing an...

took it out to the extended familys farm and scratched it! Also staked one of the tyres! Figure its time for a new set!

just to add if you plan on keeping the gas set up make sure the system is in date.
For daily drive i would possibly keep the gas if your doing a few kms. My 90l gas tank will get me about 300-350kms...

i dont think there are any legal issues removing the gas set up here in SA, its not recorded on the rego here. I plan on getting rid of my lpg system once the tank is due for checking again.

nice looking drawers, the frame is a great idea.

blew the head on mine today!
oh well gives me some motorvation to clean out the shed so i can pull it apart and fix it....... (going to be a while as im broke!)

looks way better now! just too shiny, needs more dirt!

i am possibly a forum tart, i generally use the same name in all of them though! im registered here, bellett.net, ratrodbikes, retro rides, japanese nostalgic car, killbillet, deadweight, ozrodders,...

i dont lend my tools,i need them for work. I am happy to go with my tools and lend a hand, the only exception to this would be my father in law i know he will look after my tools and get them back as...

i was 130kilos, all i changed was my meal portion sizes and to stop drinking as much fizzy drinks/iced coffee and replace that with water, less than 6 months later i was back down to 107kilos.

spent a couple of days at the farm, comparing the patrol to the father inlaws landcruiser ute that he has just finished piecing back together! the ute is great for getting firewood,but not as able at...

Model: GQ
Motor: tb42e
Year: 1994

Unfortunately i may not be cool as my kms is too low! (planning on fixing this minor problem in the coming years!)

pulled several meters of excess wiring from the patrol, seems previous owners just kept all the extras (spotty's/cb etc) by cutting the wiring at either end and leaving the mess there! when i put my...

some part suppliers are hopeless!
the guy i spoke to asked all the questions about the GQ, petrol or diesel, auto or manual carby or efi, etc etc the other mob only wanted to know if it was petrol...

thanks guys, got it sussed now i think! our first parts supplier only listed the one fan for the gq 4.2 petrol engines, it is 133/134mm across the center bolt holes which was too small to bolt to my...

cheers for the help, hopefully i can get it sorted this week!

mines auto, might have to try the local nissan dealer then...

guys sorry if this is somewhere else,i tried searching and came up with nothing.
I have a 94 GQ petrol efi 4.2 and found the fan starting to crack, so today i ordered in a new fan but it wont fit my...

spent some time giving the old girl some love! Got the LPG system working, turns out the lpg gauge is showing full all the time even when empty! just goes to show never assume something is right! At...

when i was younger (about 13/14) was out riding my new standish 10 speed bike with a mate, we decided to race each other home. So i put my head down and started peddling in fury, i look up a few...
