This is why I started doing services myself, warranty usually isn't worth the paper it's written on anyway. You can get the filter out with an aux battery no worries, just gotta pull it out...

You know anything about the Billet turbos Mudski? I'm looking at replacing mine (2 broken studs on exhaust side, stuttering sound at boost and a minimum $800 refurbishment cost). Saw a few people...
Ok, since last post:
-Dual battery system put in (no actual battery in there yet)
-Winch thrown in, made my own solenoid box as the ironman box is stupidly massive.
-Roof racks from Pinnacle...
It is a good question, the larger core and non-exchange basis can explain away some of the extra cost but it still leaves a lot unaccounted for. I wouldn't be trying to get one if it wasn't for a...
I'm planning to buy the cross country 4x4 intercooler (if they ever get back to me... What is it with companies not responding when I just want to hand them volumes of cash with no fussing around?)....
Yeah, the general consensus so far seems to be that mine was a particularly difficult design... well built but badly designed. Looking at photos of some of the other systems available I reckon I...
G'day All,
The other month I bought a 3" Stainless exhaust system which came with the rather optimistic advice: "DIY install time: 3 hours". Now the first problems I had with the install were...
I should follow up my post and say that while I eventually got it off and got the old exhaust out, the whole thing turned into a massive nightmare with getting the new exhaust in, had my stands up as...
yep, gave it a good spray with penetrant. It has the appearance of steel with the softness of brass -_-. I don't know what they use for exhaust studs/nuts but I've had this same problem with the...
G'day all,
Started changing out my exhaust to 3" SS job. However nuts on the studs from the turbo which hold the old dump pipe on are siezed to buggery. One sheared off(lucky I have a few spare...
I wouldn't risk having a filter exposed to the elements like that =/
just put in boost/Oil pressure gauge last night with a pod pillar (thanks to big_fletch's post for introducing me to A-Pillar gauge pods).
I got an autron digital gauge. Bloody brilliant,...
Got air/oil separator in there, got boost gauge. Car had a dawes valve when I bought her but it failed a few months back, now it's back under ECU control but I've set the boost limit grub screw to...
those are some mean looking tires!

...ignore that oil pressure light. Ongoing pain in the butt...
what gets me about that video is just how casually the Pajero rolls over. One little slip into the embankment is all it took to ruin their whole day
lucky for him it wasn't someone else who showed up. It may be obvious to experienced 4wders but to be honest, if you didn't know better and someone needed pulling it you might be tempted to think...
I highly recommend going down to the bottom of the Plateau and checking out the ruins of the old industrial works. You can get down there in a 2wd, but cars have to stop at a carpark near the...
looks like I'm a few months too late but anyway on the off chance anyone else ever needs : I have to drive both new england and pacific regularly for work. I'd avoid the Pacific at all costs if...
I always keep the safety glasses handy these days. Had a siezed brake cylinder in a landrover a while back, gave it only a medium whack with a hammer and some residual fluid in there sprayed out and...
I saw no bush mechanics here. Just a pack of A-grade export quality <fill in here with whatever words you feel like> tools
It's not so much a proper limp mode as an inbuilt protection. Mine had this problem when I bought it due to the dawes valve being adjusted up too high,
the ECU steps in to protect the engine from...
a few things that I carry in my kit:
- self amalgamating rubber tape
- 12v soldering iron (60w)
- vise grips
- big pliers
- screwdrivers
- socket set 1/2" drive. A Toolex set as the ratchet...
I used to get mine serviced by Nissan, then I thought "I'm not planning to sell my Patrol, why the hell am I paying these clowns to look after it".
These days I do all my own service and repairs,...
I was just thinking about this the other day while jabbing dried mud out of that gap it always gets jammed in. When I think of something I'll be sure to take a few pics and post it here. Maybe just...
