The jack handle and the slotted wheel brace that acts as crank handle for the jack go under the 2nd row seats. The little tool bag (I got rid of mine a while ago) sat in beside the jack.

I recall this subject came up not long ago but I can’t find the pics I posted then. I found the neatest solution was through the vent but you have to remove the vent and from the inside drill through...

Cheers, Mark. Looks like the ZDs between 11.2002 & 08.2005 didn't have a crankshaft :)

Maybe someone could check on their Nissan Fast to see if cranks are the same part #.
I can't see Nissan complicating production by having a different crank for manual or auto when there's no...

16600-38Y10 you can get them for $14.50 each from AliExpress

Rear pads are much smaller

"adapter thingo" = Dakota Digital SGI-8E

Toss up between ditching the TB45E for a TD42T and fitting the hydroboost.. With the hydroboost, I no longer have to leave that big space to the car in front that other cars would slalom into anyway..

Depends on the vehicle it's going into. If it has the RE4 originally, retaining the TCU/ECU combination allows the RE4 to run behind any engine. I have a 1996 TD42T in front of an RE4 with the...

With the genuine pads, the 4.8 pads are claimed to be the better choice.

The hydro boost has made me fall in love with my Patrol all over again especially teamed up with slotted rotors and ECB pads.
Slowly getting used to the pedal having almost zero travel. It’s like it...

Apart from the suffix on the engine number, the 3 main items are the oil pressure outlet for turbo under the exhaust manifold, the oil return from turbo into the block & turbo coolant feed in front...

I meant that my rocker cover is red but it’s easy to distinguish that it’s a factory turbo engine regardless. I painted it when I did my conversion. Made me think back to the 179 EH Holden I had in...

Keep in mind that a $15 rattle can of silver paint turns a blacktop into a silvertop. There are also silvertop rocker covers for sale on Marketplace so it's not a precise indication.
On the other...

That’s certainly a clean looking vehicle.

Is that also a DX?

Happy to be corrected but I wasn't aware that N/A GU 4.2s were released in Australia. I thought they were all TD42T engines i.e. factory turbo, non intercooled. Perhaps the DX was an exception but I...

Have to agree.. I did the DBA slotted rotors with ECB Yellowstuff pads and all braided lines as well. Was better but still not really reassuring enough. I did the hydro boost mod and it made a really...

You said it was a silvertop so it shouldn't have the dimpled Ti cam gear.. unless someone swapped it over for some reason. See if you can borrow another tacho pickup just to compare.
Otherwise, you...

There’s an indicator light on the Dakota that blinks to let you know that it’s getting an adequate signal.
Sorry, I don’t know what calibration for the timing gear means.

The TB45E ECU is not used at all for the TD42 tacho signal. The signal comes from the pickup on the timing cover and is the input for the Dakota. The original tacho signal from the ECU is a...

Have you checked for any fault codes before swapping stuff out? A NATS issue will throw a code.

Just to save you some time, the outlet from the Dakota converter connects to the yellow/black wire that you cut from the ECU. The ECU has no connection anymore with the tacho. No need to connect...

TB45 sensor just bolts in.
Marks4WD sell the Dakota.

I did both with my conversion back in 2015 and still running well.
