So Roadsafe wont sell a new bush. So I grinded about 1mm off the small end of the bush, cleaned it all up and where the bush goes in, smeared the bush in a metal filler putty. Fitted the bush and mig...

I spoke with a chap in Bright during my break who has a 4.8 Patrol, and turboéd. Goes like shit off a chrome shovel and the fuel consumption is better he says. The 4.8's are a good motor.

A little more complicated but a far superior engine than a straight six in my opinion. The only thing that I don't really like is the electronics. Much like the ZD30. The less of the "lecky" stuff...

Not so much a tool but should be in everyone’s tool kit.
Never Seize/ Anti Seize.

This is why use should use Never Seize on all you suspension arm bolts. The left is what it looks like just...

So I’ve been chasing a rattle that resonates from under my feet. Can here here quite loudly from outside when on dirt roads and even sometimes when I go over those small reflectors on the blacktop. ...

It’s a Diesel engine. The only V8 diesel variant is the Chev V8 diesel. This V6 engine would be a good choice. Much lighter than the Chev V8 I would think too.

Yep. Plenty of smiles happened over the last two weeks thats for sure.

Hi mate. Never seen this done before, doesn't mean it hasn't happened though. Maybe ring Marks 4wd Adaptors here in Melbourne, they do a lot of kits for conversions. I reckon they would have a good...

Last fill before we made the trek home.
Unladen again, drove a few dirt roads exploring places, no low range, a fair bit of 80-100kph as we decided to go to Beechworth and a few other towns, so...

That’s good mate. Glad too see it was sorted...

The injector pump died on the ZD, I wasn’t prepared to spend a cent more on this donk. Hence the TD conversion. After the conversion was done we stripped the ZD and number 4 piston was cracked anyway...

All good mate. A few came over and were asking about the high mount wedged in the ARB bar, I just said it was there purely for Landcrab recoveries, to help a fellow out, as I won’t need it. To my...

When I had the old ZD it was running 25psi and that was really good. Drove fantastic.

Phil did you fix the bonnet latch issue? I can’t seem to find the thread on it...

I’ve often wondered if those vids are just setup for camera.

This needs to be done to all modern diesels not just Patrols. I sold 100’s of kits to workshops and owners of Tritons, Navaras, Hilux’s etc etc. Anything with a variable vane turbo needs this mod in...

Yeah I think it maybe in the relay box where the issues are coming from. I’ll look at it when I get home now as a couple of 79’s just pulled up camp across from us a about six bogans jumped out all...

Latest fill saw me 16.74L/100. This was unladen, a day of 4wd’ing, lots of driving around the hills also blacktop and open roads too.

The plot thickens. So my external pump runs via a relay. The earth on the relay is connected to the factory oil pressure switch so the pump will only run where the oil pressure light goes off.

Devil’s Hollow on the King Spur track, about 5k down from Blue rag. Jesus f’ing Christ! What a place it would be to camp.

Yeah all’s good Mark mate. Went to a workshop in Mt.Beauty and borrowed their trolley jack and put the spare on just in case...
Just gotta get a new oil pressure switch and I hope the external pump...

Yep! If I could keep the 61 for bush bashing, and a 62 for life stylz I’ll be set.

So having a faulty oil switch creates other issues. My external fuel pump runs of this switch. Using the neg’ on the switch to activate the pump when there’s oil pressure . So since the switch is...
