One way of flushing your hard earned cash.
Here's your chance to post those wonderfully disastrous picture fails.
My first offering: A photo bomb instigated by a territorial wattlebird.
ROH used to be good quality rims. I bought a Trak 2 rim as a spare. It started rusting around the cut outs within a couple of months. Got another under warranty, and it was rusty within 12 months....
"Thar she blows!"
Has it got the Nissan Anti-Detonation System installed (NADS) If so then maybe consider it. Go NADS!
Talk to the owner about what has been done to the grenade, er, engine and...
Hello, My name is Roger...
One week later...
Hello, my name is Chris...
Different name and same voice.
After you have checked the fuses in the drivers side kick panel, and if MudRunners suggestion fails, have a look at the electrical connector under the passenger seat. Using a test lamp, you should be...
Welcome to the forum. This is from a GU manual so it might be different. But it is a starting point.
Finally scored a series 2 RB30 crankshaft. Got a few other goodies off the engine too. Now I can get the old engine rebuilt and it can be a spare.
I used cable for years, but the cable kinked when doing a job so when money became available I switched. Life is so much easier using dyneema.
threedogs, John, where did you get your recovery points tested. And are you willing to send another point to them to get tested with soft shackles?
That is correct, but adds another failure point, and takes away the whole point of the soft shackle.

The big problem is the front recovery points on my Patrol have sharp corners. I did get one laser cut out of 20mm hardened steel, and am in the process...

Have you had a look on Gumtree or EBay for an engine or parts closer to you? Before you buy any RD28 Check these few things out.

The results of the compression test will provide you with the best way to go forward. As to the answer to how much it will cost, shop around. There are Chinese made bare heads for sale, at the lower...
Welcome to the forum. Usually smoke on start up means worn valve guides and / or valve seals.
What is the compression on each cylinder? Do a compression test. If it is low, then squirt a smidgen...
Usually smoke on start up is oil leaking past worn valve guides and or valve seals. Would a reco head be a feasible option or are the rings and bores shot too? I have no idea where you could source...
What has happened to the block? Is it cracked, warped or is it the common overheating issue caused by the head?
Happy birthday, Darren.
Couldn't get Easy Outs because of Covid Lockdown, so I used an Allen key that was just slightly larger than the hole drilled through the broken bolt. Just make sure you hold the key straight as you...
They have so many quirks and so much potential, they're worth studying. I've been researching to build one with an RB34 stroker kit with NA pistons for a bit of low down grunt, giving a bit more...
Thanks, Mudski, but I can't take credit for this. The engine builder thought of it, I just swapped out the components.
Ever since the rebuild, the lifters have been noisy. Swapped the machined lifter carriers/cradles out. This carrier is 20 thou thinner, than standard so the hydraulic lifter are able to cope with the...
Long-winded Political discussions :)
Nice unit. Welcome to the forum.
