Yep, I replaced the TC during the rebuild. I did the rebuild myself so I guess it is take apart time again. Oh well!

Hi,

Last year I reconditioned my auto gearbox (RE4R03A) which I posted about here. All has been going well for 10,000km or so. Been using a manual Torque Converter lock-up mod since christmas with...

Since replacing the fuel filter and cleaning hte carby jets the old truck is running much better. Pertronix kit is next. I will report back if there is further improvement...

Forgot I started this thread! Anyway last weekend, I stripped down my carby and fuel system as the backfiring and missing was getting to the point that I felt it might be terminal - as in I might...

UES International in Malaga does 125kg rated slides in sizes upto 1000mm extension for sub $150 a pair.

Nice one. Thanks for sharing. Just started some myself for my GQ so good to see what others are doing. Will post up some pics of mine at the weekend.

Hi all,

Well I finished my auto gearbox rebuild as documented on here and that's running all good. However, the old carby TB42 is acting up a bit.

It's done 157k so not a lot for 22 years old....

Started fitting rear quarter storage units. Plywood and tools everywhere! :)

So the gearbox has been in now for a couple of weeks and 500k's or so. It's a completely different vehicle now with smooth changes. Took it for a run up to Lancelin from Perth and back and it didn't...

Now to find out if it actually works after all that hard graft...

I have to say at this point I was nervous!!! This hopefully gives me an excuse for the fact that at this point in the rebuild the...

Next job as I said was the cleaning....definitely the worst part of the whole job. All the external surfaces were covered in 22 years of muck. The internals were covered in burnt on black friction...

Cheers mate! Planning on finishing off this thread over the next couple of evenings.

Your own was really the catalyst for me giving this a go. With a little luck this and yours together might...

Next job was to take a look at the clutch packs and band to check for wear.

First off the band:

As you can see the brake...

Been a while so I thought I should update on progress with automatic gearbox rebuild. Following my last post I had the box out and on the driveway which was good. On to the scary part of taking it...

If you want to pull it apart to check the frictions you will need a clutch spring compressor. I have one you can borrow if you like.

However, if you do strip it down I would strongly suggest...

Hi mate,

I'm in Perth as well and just finishing off a rebuild of an RE4R03A myself, as I couldn't justify an exchange box at that price either, especially given I didn't pay a lot for the Patrol...

Welcome to the forum! Plenty of info and helpful people here...

Hi Ade,

Not ordered anything on the torque converter front yet. Smooth bell housing so presumably small TC here also. To swap for the later one I presume it is the bell housing, TC and also the...

Yep, one of these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-RG4R0...-/200485056179), or the nomad valve body upgrade from Wholesale Automatics seem the go.

On the other hand I was under the impression that...

Hi mate,

Not seen inside of one before today. In fact it was your thread I think that made me decide it was DIY all the way. I don't need the truck as daily driver so the time it takes to do it is...

Removed auto tranny from my GQ prior to DIY rebuild (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?12897-Patrol-GQ-Auto-RE4R03A-Missing-Gears-Diagnosis-and-Repair)...

So, with the valve body removed (and rebuilt) and the brake band the apparent culprit for the loss of 2nd and 4th, me and mate start to drop the box. First up we jack up the truck at the front, drop...

Started by rebuilding the valve body to standard spec. First job was to drop off the valve body from the AT. Here it is on my bench:

Hi all,

As I mentioned in my 'Member's Ride' post a week or so ago (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?12609-Sam-s-1990-High-Roof-GQ-Wagon), my recently acquired GQ Safari has...

Moved over from Sheffield last year for a job. Best move I have made in a while I have to say. No whingeing from this pom!
