    If that helps...I also spoke to a bloke who did his DIY, and he reckoned he wished he had paid to get it done by Brunswick as all the extras really add up and then there is the time and the sweat.

    They also do the P400 cobra diesel conversion now ass well!
    So..I am now really rethinking mine as I get more acquainted. Some fellas had trouble free motoring, others not so much. Sadly now, we are in the later. anyone considering this conversion should really read from here on in my members ride thread. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...l=1#post818263

    Basically forking out over 12K to get a 15000 km 10 month old engine replaced has really made me revise my opinion on the conversion.

    I would suggest looking at the cummins 6bt option instead as they seem to have no where near the issues.
