GU ZD30 to TD42T Conversion....
Things are going quite slow at the moment with this. Bloody workshops taking their time! Lol
Anyhow while I'm waiting and getting parts together I didn't think about the ECU. Anyone know if I need to change ECU's? From mine to an ECU from a GU with a TD42T of the same age? I'm thinking I might not need to as the loom is at Killa Custom getting the cut and shut done on the wiring so I assume they would make it so all the gauges can work...

Yeah, thats one thing i am yet to get. Jeff have said he is using an aftermarket controller. I am trying to find an oem unit, just so its "plug and pray".

Just on the subject of gauges, from all the research I've done it appears that best practice is to use the temp sensor from the ZD motor if you're using the ZD temp gauge. Should swap straight over.
Same applies for my TB.

One from a TD....
First setback... Where I was getting the genuine head from, they are now out of stock! Now I have to pay nearly double for one.
