Winnies 747 TD42 GQ

[threedogs]

Looks great Winnie don't forget to cable tie that IC support bracket to the top heater hose,
or any others that are touching, It'll wear through very fast, Love that blue silicon hose looks good
over priced but looks good

Don't worry about em Winnie I like you regardless. Secret TD42 business ;)

[Winnie]

Secret TD42 business ;)

*Secret TD42 handshake*

[mudski]

I just wanna hear the awesomeness of your rig again Winnie.





Don't worry about em Winnie I like you regardless. Secret TD42 business ;)
You guys make me jealous, and sick.

[Winnie]

Okay so temps are down 50 degrees on the freeway, so when cruising at 110km/h they sit at 250, going up the hill to my house it does not get above 380, used to get to 450.
You know what that means, dump more fuel in! lmao can't wait until next Tuesday!

[nissannewby]

Have you got the scoop on now?

[Winnie]

Yeah its on and looks awesome. The scoop is way bigger than the actual hole for the cooler though... Seems a bit pointless.

[MudRunnerTD]

Have you got the scoop on now?

Yes he has but he is not sharing :( wont show anyone until after the meetup! Bloody kill joy!

[taslucas]

It's all for looks anyway, scoops don't do anything, just ask TD. Lmao

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah its on and looks awesome. The scoop is way bigger than the actual hole for the cooler though... Seems a bit pointless.

Hmmmmm?? Is the hole the same size as the Intercooler ??? That's the point!

[Winnie]

It's all for looks anyway, scoops don't do anything, just ask TD. Lmao

Yep even though the scoop dropped my temps by 100 degrees, it's not doing anything!

[Winnie]

Hmmmmm?? Is the hole the same size as the Intercooler ??? That's the point!

Yeah it is and it seals up but the scoop is far bigger

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah it is and it seals up but the scoop is far bigger

Then that's fine mate, if anything it should cause more pressure under the scoop and force more air through as its catching more that the hole can handle in a 1 to 1 flow rate I would think?

[taslucas]

It would probably create a little back pressure if the hole was bigger than the IC?

[threedogs]

Are or have you fitted a fan if doing slow high country work ?
@ lucas hard to tell if its working if my IC was leaking like a sieve,
Now temps are a tad lower than Winnies and very consistant

[Winnie]

Yep got a fan on it.

[taslucas]

Yep got a fan on it.

Mudrunner is also a fan of it

[nissannewby]

Good stuff Winnie. Bring on the tune. I'm pretty sure you should be able to get better economy plus more power now. Welcome to the better side of a td42 turbo :).

Next Tuesday! Can't wait! The cooler made it a bit more responsive which is nice

[Winnie]

Dropping the car off at Diesel Tech first thing tomorrow morning, cannot wait! So excited!

[Ben-e-boy]

I cant wait to see what get, 170-180hp will be achievable, better than the 4 rwhp you used to have, but that will be short lived in 6 months time you WILL be chasing 300.

[Winnie]

No I will not! Well, I will, but my bank account won't!

[taslucas]

i want to feel the neck snapping beer spilling power in october

[Winnie]

Yeah I'm sure Benny will take you for a drive if you ask nice enough.
You better be making 300hp by then Benny! What power were you making before the turbo change?

[taslucas]

Yeah I'm sure Benny will take you for a drive if you ask nice enough.

I dont think I will make 300.
200kw (271hp) is the goal at the moment, it made 192hp on 35s and 207hp on 31s. Its on 33s atm so at a guess even 200hp give or take.

[Ben-e-boy]

sounds good, so how about it B-dog?

Righto.....

[Winnie]

Now Lucas will be driving a TD42 by the end of the year, you wait and see!!

[MudRunnerTD]

Wow! Awesome mate! Nice one!

[rusty_nail]

120kw in a patrol is fun =]

videos or it didnt happen

[Winnie]

I am so stoked, it goes awesome and fuel economy I got 12.6L/100 on the way home which is a huge improvement. The fuel pump is my limiting factor now, it's maxed out! Boost at 16psi,he said in the summer if my EGTs are a bit high I should turn the boost up a little but other than that there is no point because it will not make more power. EGTs are the same as when they went in, so stoked again! Blue line is before, black is after.

And look what else came in the mail today, it's been a good day!

[Winnie]

Was meant to put this in that last post....

Spectacular !!!!!!!

[nissannewby]

Have seen that a few times. They are nuts over there and fuel is cheaper than anything else.

[nissannewby]

So a week on Winnie what are your thoughts?

[Winnie]

Still loving it mate, such a massive improvement to how it was when you went for a ride. Like a new motor has been put in it. Managed to use 25L/100km over the weekend but it was probably 80% low range and driving fairly hard, everybody seemed to use unusually high amounts of fuel that day. Still getting 12-14 normal daily driving.

[nissannewby]

Great to hear mate. They are a very good thing when setup correctly.

Got the exhaust fixed yesterday... it was touching the body and now it's so smooth! Did not realise how vibraty it was haha, also put a flexy joint in it.
Getting the dual battery tray fitted today and I will wire it up on the weekend.

[taslucas]

Haha yes it was quite vibratey especially if I didnt havemy rrrrs in the right place lol

[Winnie]

Yeah but even with normal driving now it's so smooth and quiet. Should have done it ages ago!!

[taslucas]

It'll make for sneaky sneaky slingshots

[Winnie]

Finished off my dual batteries yesterday and wired a couple of plugs up to it, I'll rewire my lights and stereo to it soon too.

BEAST Gq awesome mate great photos

[Winnie]

You would have all seen but last weekend when I was out at O'tooles camp ground I put a dirty great hole in my radiator, had to drive back to Warragul the next morning in a mate's car and buy a new radiator, which was for an auto and it was not a HD radiator like I want. So I rang the radiator shop today and they are gonna do me a good deal on trading it in on a heavy duty radiator. So I'm going to service the viscous clutch while it's all out and I need a new fan shroud and fan so will give Patrolapart a call when they open up shop again.

[taslucas]

wrecker boy......

[PMC]

G'day Winnie,

I thought i would do the right thing to kick-off your thread for 2014. lol

Regards,

Paul

[Winnie]

You are a good bloke! Hahahaha

Got sick of Motorculture so gone back to Tappa

[Winnie]

I've got the HD radiator in, made a huge difference.
When I got home from Canberra I noticed an axle seal leaking pretty badly. Replaced seals and bearings last night after work.
I've got a long range auxiliary tank to go in too.
And I got some new number plates

Sorry mate I missed this... think it was $440 all up?

Just ordered a set of Full Boar Fourbie drawers, given up on the idea of making my own haha.

[threedogs]

Basic two drawer set up with fridge slide on top?, Don't forget to cage in your Engel
then you have more area to pack

Yep that's what I'm getting. I'm gonna play around with caging in the fridge. See how I go anyway!

[threedogs]

If you need a hand yell out. I could make it here if you get stuck.

[Winnie]

Yeah cheers but should be right with this one. Got an idea for it but gotta wait 2-4 weeks for the drawers anyway.

[Winnie]

Spent the day at Mudrunner's place yesterday removing that second alternator. He wants it the brackets to run a 24V setup and I wanted less strain on the motor. Win win for the both of us.
Plasnart dropped in to say hello to us, was great to see him again. Anyway the results are good, I have a noticeable power increase and dropped 2L/100km on the drive home.

My drawers have been made and are going in on Tuesday arvo.

[Winnie]

That's insane. Lol. Are they still any good offroad or too worn down for that? When you day 110k do you mean to the tread markers?

[FNQGU]

Great looking truck Winnie. Looks like a capable all-rounder.

[nissannewby]

Took em out last weekend to some rocky, loose and hilly terrain and they still work pretty good mate. I tend to try and stay away from mud but would imagine they wouldn't be as good in it now as when they were knew but all Tyres are like this. Yeah should see 110k when they reach the wear indicators.

[Winnie]

Put my new tyres on today =)

[rusty_nail]

Now you just gotta test em!

[Winnie]

I dropped my car off with Raslarr yesterday. Very anxious! Gonna be a slow week!

[mudnut]

Nice looking bar work, Winnie. How much for the sliders?

[Winnie]

I think it was $700 for the sliders.

[Ben-e-boy]

I think it was $700 for the sliders.

Is that with scrub bars?

[Winnie]

No they were 300

[Ben-e-boy]

How much of a show discount was there?

[Winnie]

Free fitting, plus he added a lot in for free as well. Mud flaps, LED lights in the rear bar, he is filling in the rock sliders as well.

Got a message from Raslarr today... Barwork has all been made and was off to the powdercoaters this arvo. Car will be stripped off tomorrow morning and quarter chop done. Should be all finished on Thursday.


Is it Saturday yet?

[Ben-e-boy]

Powder coat... what happens when you scratch it

[Winnie]

All the barwork is zinc plated so the powder sticks a lot better and won't rust. Can be touched up with paint of course.

[Ben-e-boy]

As long as you don't turn into one of those numpties that don't want to scratch the flashy barwork.

Seriously?...... Nah Fark that mate. WTF does he think your going to do mate? Drill holes in your nice new Zinc Coated Powder Coated rear bar to add the cross bracket for the mud flaps that should have been welded in during manufacture? He should have made an allowance for that mate. not really your problem. He has just made your car Unroadworthy. It drove in with rear mud flaps and now it has none. He made the bar and should have sorted that. This really Is a Big Deal bud. Have a chat with him. That bar might need to be taken off and sorted.

No no the bar is there I just need to drill a couple of holes. I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Changed over to series 1 tail lights last night.
The rear bar has LED tail lights in it but my Redback wheel bag covers it up... lol. And now I don't have to dick around with resistors in the indicators for the LEDs.

Bwaaaahahahahah you blokes are piss funny!!!

[aazn]

love the work. love the detail...

keep up the good work.

[MonsterGQ]

loving the GQ mate, looks good

[Winnie]

Been chasing a problem with my brakes... I think the rear left caliper is sticking on and the fronts are not working properly... leads to very bad brakes, especially when towing the camper.
I've ordered the Safebrake lines and will get the calipers reco'd, if the problem is still there I will take it to the brake shop

All that fine silt from Kris,s will have a lot to do with it

[Winnie]

Nah it's from before then even, no mud in the brakes they are all clean.

[threedogs]

theres a mob down here called Hopper Stoppers , they can get anything to stop on a sixpence. for a price.
Its all they do. Only heard good reports about them

[Winnie]

I have heard of people putting Skyline quad piston calipers on a GQ. But of course costs a bucket load to do... not interested in that really, I'll just make do with what I've got for now, even the twin piston EFI calipers are too dear for what they are.

[nissannewby]

Gu diff time.

[Winnie]

Gu diff time.

Unless somebody wants to give me some, then no, it's not GU diff time. lol

[MudRunnerTD]

Put up with it until you can afford a GU front diff mate, worth every cent.

[Winnie]

The plot thickens... This has happened twice now and I have a theory as to why it is happening.
Last time I adjusted the wheel bearings I think I bent the drivers side circlip that holds it all together. I did not have a pair of circlip pliers so used two pairs of pointy nose pliers and I think I've stretched it.
It has come off and allows a bit of movement in the hub, now my wheel hubs have come loose a couple of times and I think this free play is allowing them to come loose.
I will order a GU hub nut upgrade and replace the circlips (with circlip pliers)

I drove the car this week and noticed a noise coming from that hub so I am assuming it has come loose again. This should help with my braking too.

[Rossco]

Have you got your new brake lines in yet? ?

[Winnie]

They have been sitting on the book shelf in the lounge room since they arrived... Lol
I'm going to take it to the brake shop and get them to look over the whole system and put those lines on while they're at it.

Ha ha, yeah nice. . Be good to hear how they go. GQ brakes definatly have room for improvement, especially with bigger tyres. . .

[Winnie]

Darren found me a set of twin piston rotors in Traralgon for $100, sent the bloke a message saying I'd go pick them up that day and he had sold them a couple of hours earlier! I was spewing! Bloody hell Darren, faster next time!

[Bloodyaussie]

You know I gave Irish a set and he will never get around to fitting them.....

[Winnie]

If you're really not gonna use them we could come to an arrangement

Winnie, awesome bus mate. Just wondering how the intercooler is nearly 2 years on? Have you had any dramas with it?

Hey mate, Nah no dramas at all! It's been great.
I am getting the twin piston calipers today and will put them on next week! Can't wait

[Rossco]

Oh sweet. You doing the lines as well?

[Winnie]

Oh sweet. You doing the lines as well?

Yep yep! It will be hard to know then how much of a difference the lines made because the calipers are going in at the same time but it will surely be a massive upgrade on the crappy GQ brakes!
Will be all ready for Licola next weekend =]

[Winnie]

Well the twin piston calipers showed up today with matching bolts and rotors.
They're getting put on tomorrow as well as the safebrake braided brake lines and a full service of the brake system... Woohoo can't wait!

Far out mate, you're going all out. Well done brother.

[Winnie]

Yeah mate gq brakes are crap and mime have seen better days anyway, plus our camper trailer does not have brakes and it was cheaper to do this upgrade than put brakes on the trailer.
Eventually I'll get brakes on the trailer and there'll be no stopping me! Or... There will! Haha

How much are you being charged for the rebuild if you don't mind me asking?

[Winnie]

How much are you being charged for the rebuild if you don't mind me asking?
Probably just a few boxes of coldies

[Winnie]

Wow!! Is that what it's like to have decent brakes? Like Darren said I near on head butted the windscreen!!
Can lock up the 33s on the dry bitumen now =) stoked!

Nah not any more, sold the old clunker. Which in turn paid for the new barwork.

Hmm bummer! Did you get it repaired first or sell it as is?

as is mate, would have loved to have kept it and raided it for parts but was under big pressure from the missus.

[Viiper]

Loving the spotty on the roof rack and the snorkel mate, what a mean machine!

[Winnie]

Arb have got a locker special coming up start of next month... Locker, compressor and tyre pump up kit for 1195 plus fitting... Better book it in I reckon!

[cgm]

Ha ha, always something so tempting. That deep creek climb was a good showcase! The Jack proved how useful they are. What would you do, front or back?

Front for sure... Maybe rear some time in the future when I've run out of things to spend money on haha.

Bloody long read this, but can tell the passion gone into this beast . .

Very nice indeed :)
