I did plan to but hand brake wasn't hold well enough for me to be confident to jump out of the car..
I'll take the wife for a drive out there as its very mild and she'll enjoy it i think. .
Now I need to learn how to adjust the hand brake.

My son won't need to stay overnight. Once all paperwork is sorted we can go home.
All went to plan.

Had one of those mornings where everything went right. Wired up the trailer plug everything worked. Towpro works. Rear acc plug installed and working. guess im finished with the dodgy wiring. Removed the console bit between the front seats without frustration or pulling half the patrol apart. Finished some wiring on the camper. went to work boss was in a good mood. Time to crack a beer

I didn't touch a drop. .. listening to my neighbour most of the day is enough to.make a man want to quit grog all together. .. when should i tell him to shut the fuck up.?

Just gave the high mount a serious test out.
Got a text from my cousin who got a call from a mate of his, bloody bloke was drifting his gq on a dirt road, lost it and hit a tree and rolled down an embankment. So we headed off there and found him on his roof.
Hooked 2 high mounts on to it and got him back on his wheels and out of the bank.
It was an RB30, he then started the car and drove it home!

High mounts are awesome!!

Also where do they bolt up??

So am I. With this rebuild, now everything is completely rebuilt on the Patrol — the only thing that hasn't been touched is the gearbox and 4WD transfer case. No noises from those and everything shifts smooth, so I'm not touching them other than fluid replacement until something goes wrong.

I've advertised my draws for the gq with barrier and the 75L stainless steel water tank on a few pages for $600..
Low price to move it..
This one bloke wants me to deliver it 450k to Adelaide for $600 or Murry bridge (330k) for $550..
He's dreaming.

Im moving into the caravan industry and will run the floor plus oversee the day to day running of the company.

There is a whole lot more to it than than that and tomorrow i am having a meeting to nut out all the fine print and if all goes well i will hand my notice in for my contract in toorak.

I might also get a car...

Nothing mate, was just mucking around but If I do I know this guy to ring now...LOL

Don't know why, but the Patrol has been a pleasure to drive lately.
Ever since the tappet adjustment a few months backs it lost the flat spot. Not completely but better. Now it seems to have disappeared. Nice clean rev right up to it changes gears. :D

A few things have made my happy today

1. I'm feeling better after been sick for a few days
2. It's Friday
3. Beer and burgers tonight with a few mates and I can't wait to fire up the BBQ
4. I've just been informed that our little issue on Tuesday wasn't due to human error

[the evil twin]

4. I've just been informed that our little issue on Tuesday wasn't due to human error

Let me guess, a human told you that, yeah?

[Marc Allen]

Well the electrics on the camper is finished and tested giving us about 10 days off the grid. The hot water system is half installed. Next weekend i get to spend lots of money at the caravan and camping show.
And oh got the drivers door fixed on the patrol. Cost me $220 for alock and getting the dents out from me kicking it open

Yep glad it's Friday and the beer is deliciously cold (coopies of course).

Picked up the 4WD and is slightly different with the new fuel pump! Up from 81 kw to 121 at the back wheels. The top end is pretty crazy now really pulls from about 2400. Bottom end is proably more noticeable (as in lacking) in comparison to on boost as old school safari turbo takes a while to spool. Went for a spin up the big toolangi hill and to kinglake, noticed temp rised a fraction hopefully won't be an issue but will keep an eye on it. EGTs were good.

More power slight rise in temps going up hills
think its normal

[Winnie]

That's an awesome result Rossco! That is exactly my result from diesel tec, drove in with 80kw and drove out with 120kw (119 to be exact, gotta catch up to ya now!). Bloody huge jump hey!!

Slightly.....
Hate to see what you think is a big difference.

Would be a whole new thing to drive I would imagine.

Yeah "slightly" (insert sarcasm here)!!

Yeah pretty happy seeing as we didn't quote know the result with current setup. Very happy with top end pulls really hard if you push it, could do with more bottom end to match but new turbo, pipe work, intercooler yada yada. Think I'm happy for now ☺

[gubigfish]

What pump did you get Rossco?

[Winnie]

I'll give it 6 months ;)

[Rossco]

What pump did you get Rossco?
12mm dieseltec

Good one Rossco. Ill give you a drag mate for comparison. But ill have a handicap of a 1.5t camper in tow. Lol.
You recommend these guys?
I eventually will go 4inch right through for the intake, and want to change the intake manifold and get another tune. I have oodles of power, for me, sideways times can be had in the wet, but i just like to tinker. Lol
Buuùt, the clutchis goibg to go bang soon i reckon. At idle it sounds like im rattling a reindeers bell from under the car.
So a UFI lutch looks to be in order, just wonderibg if i should get an alloy flywheel while im at it.

Hey Mark, have you priced the UFI clutch at all? I reckon I'll be in for a new clutch once the 12mm goes in...

850 I believe unless its gone up.

Should go 4" sooner rather than later mate the gains will leave you amazed.

Jjf45 just made his own box for $180 and he netted a nice gain on a bog stock td42t.

Yeah sweet i can put the old jayco on the back to make it fair haha.

Yeah I'd recommend them took a bit longer than expected but that doesn't really matter in the scheme is things. He's pretty good at what he does got it going well with pretty much no soot coming out the back.

[jay see]

Was talking to the maintance guy here at work and he tells me that the warehouse across the road and the one next door are at the end of their lease. We use both of them plus the ones that the manufacturing departments use. The company is looking at a huge place a bit up the the Hume. They want to have all the departments under the one roof.
Great news for me. I've been wanting to leave for a while now, but having been here for almost 18 years I got a lot in this place. They can't force me to move so they will have to pay me out.:thumbup:

It all comes down to money mate. I dont have the skill to make my own air box or snorkel so ill have to buy these.

That's pretty good on the UFI clutch. Is that just a heavy duty thing or is that the Viper clutch that people talk about?

Im not sure mate. If heard/ read stories of people snapping cranks and they were using viper clutches. Whether its related or not, dont know. But i think those guys were running big torque numbers....

Its an exedy clutch built to ufis specs. It is just the clutch so will bolt to straight your flywheel.

People running viper clutches are usually running massive power and torque as well.

Thanks mate, your info is always appreciated!
