GU ZD30 to TD42T Conversion....

[jff45]

What does the 2nd canister do?
The small canister on my TB45 (which is no longer in the car) is there for the factory diff lock.
I don't plan on adding another with the TD engine.

Glad to see you have got the conversion underway mudski, you wont be disappointed! When are you expecting to have it back in your hands? I just picked up some TD42 vac canisters yesterday to replace the massive 2.8 tank thats been left in mine.

I'm just waiting on the exhaust, hopefully pick that up today. I haven't heard from JPC so I assume everything is going o.k. So I hope the finish time is soon...

One canister is for the clutch and the other is for the brakes. I only noticed this when I looked at a few GU TD wrecks and they all had this. I wanted to do it right and as the same as it would be from factory. So I scored the two tanks, hoses and brackets plus a few other bits for $100...

Dropped some of my old ZD stuff off to JPC and had a gander... The motor is in, just the radiator and hoses, intercooler, exhaust and a hole cut in the bonnet is all thats pretty much needed. Next week sometime hopefully. wOOt!

So what turbo have they used and do you know any info on your pump?

Will be getting that Bene....
Little draw back. The brand new oem radiator has a small crack in the top tank. So I had to go buy an aftermarket radiator today just to get it going. I can get new tanks from Nissan so rather than send it back I will fix it and put that in at a later date maybe. And the dump pipe is a little too close for comfort to the firewall for some reason. I reckon the dump pipe from the turbo they made up is not sharp enough in the angle. Whether they just use a generic template or size for this I don't know. But the car is nearly done. It starts and runs. Just the few final things and they will be looking at the dump pipe issue. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday...
