The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Another quality write up by Darren!
To be honest I was too depressed to comment last night, we took it for a drive and the brand new clutch slipped. We disconnected the slave cylinder and drove with no hydraulics so that we could 100% rule that system out.
The guys say to me, don't stress mate it just needs to bed into the new flywheel surface. Was pretty hard not to be upset by it though really.
Well anyway I thought it was worth a try, so I did a 100km trip to Walhalla and back today, made sure I was changing gear as much as I could to bed in the flywheel.
On the way back I gave it a quick test and it held perfectly in 4th gear and a small amount of slip in 5th so it is coming good! Another few 100 kms and it should be all perfect!
I am so stoked with it now and could not have done it without everybody's help, especially to Darren, Matt, Rossco and Jonno. These guys went absolutely above and beyond, drove down to my place 2 weekends in a row to help me out.
Seriously bloody good true blue Aussie blokes! You guys are the best!

Awesome mate, glad it's coming good, when it first slipped again was a pretty big low but wise advise from George to give it a cruisey run in and not 2 stress Sir Roofy had always said the same, wise man. . . Was a pleasure, pretty amazing place we have here. . .
Had an enjoyable drive up friday night did a bit of exploring around Fumina through Tanjil river poping out at the back of blue rock res. . .

Been thinking about this and previously I would have thought that this oil leak would have shown on the pressure gauge.
MB commented that due to the reduced capacity the oil would have started to get hot and if an oil temp gauge was installed then it would have been noticed.
I've found a spot for a twin gauge so will get a water temp/oil temp gauge like this one pictured.

Does anybody have any experience with external oil coolers on their TD42? It's been on my mind a bit lately and I've been thinking about how @PeeBee and @MB have had great success on their Chevy 6.5 diesel's with external oil coolers.
We all know that the modified TD42s get warm and when we were towing on this trip I had so much power to use but couldn't put my foot down due to fear of doing long term damage from getting hot.

@Rossco does your Safari turbo kit have an external oil cooler? I've read that some did.
