PBK's GU 2000 3ltr

[pbk1776]

Hi All

I have been around this forum doing R&D for a SAS -however plan changed - Anyhow, I started 4by in a D22 Nav - bought stock and modded it until I realized that IFS will not suit to my liking. So sold the Navara last weekend

which I bought the GU last weekend 20th of July 2013 - it is stock apart from DPCHIP, DVD player, Roof Rack/Roof basket/ UHF 40 channel.

After buying the GU - it was a bit Smokey - so straight away done a lot of research and found possible solutions - so last Sunday we've done a good service - all fluid flushed and changed - all filters changed - straight away improved the smoking - however I will also do a oil catch can /MAF change and EGR Block.

Today we completed the Suspension setup - 3" lift Kit Ultima shocks and King Springs, Gab Steering Damper and Tough Dog Front and Rear Panhards - 15x8 -22 White Steel wheels and 33" M/T bighorns, extended brake lines, finally caster bushes changed.

So so far I have - car is serviced and mods are


Diesel Chip - DP Chip
3" exhaust - Liverpool Exhaust with EGR Blocked
Mud Tyres 35" x 5 - 4 Maxxis Bighorns and 1 Mudstar - near new
15x10 -22 Sunnies

Snorkel - Tigerz11
3" lift w/30mm spacer & CASTER Correction Bushes - 4" Ultima Shocks

Dual Battery Tray - ARB not installed yet
Cargo Barrier - Genuine Nissan
Radiator Hose and Belt - New from Road Runner

My plan is to make this GU track and touring friendly - so next mods are

Great looking rig now, more than capable.

Thanks All - will keep updating this thread
in couple of week will be installing my Snorkel
Wire up Drive Lights and Winch

[pbk1776]

Quick update to every and I will take photos later this arvo

Driving Lights mounted but wiring isn't right - so not working still :-)
Snorkel is in - bought from Tigerz11 - fitting is actually nice and cannot complain for $89 bucks Brand New
and last weekend my EGR plumbing broken off and Dump pipe came off the back of turbo - th exhaust system
is the original back from the factory so cannot complain about it. So then yesterday I am forced to do the
whole dump to back system out of plan - took it to Liverpool exhaust - so now I am driving with new Diesel Cat
3" all the way to the back with couple of muffler so it is a bit quiet for the mrs and our son. Also while in the shop
Jimmy from Liverpool Exhaust blocked my EGR.

I will take photos later on - so my next mod in my list is to Wire up my drive lights properly - install the Diff Breather extensions
rear extension brake line and then mount my Winch

Looks good clean the MAF first might save you some $$$$
SCA sells MAF cleaner, just make sure its dry before you re-install

nice straight good looking patrol, should bee more than capable to tackle the tracks. keep it comin

[pbk1776]

I just got the Patrol serviced again

This time changed all diff oil/tc oil and gearbox oil
Also extended the rear brake lines and changed fuel filter

However found another gremlin in the patrol - I got a slow
Coolant leak so she is booked on Monday to get this fix might
Get my mate to check the oil leak as well then change belts

Hopefully all this servicing will make my patrol more healthier
And give me more Kms out of this Zd30 Di engine

Will post photos later

[pbk1776]

How the patrol looks now and bottom is where the coolant leak is

[pbk1776]

Finally got my Boost Gauge Installed/Side Awning and High lift jack/Shovel Holder
then hit the tracks last weekend with 2 other patrols and 2 Prados -

then I will save up for next mods - might do NADS/Dawes with the pyro first

Thanks Mate - going to save for the dawes/nads and dual battery in one go

[pbk1776]

Winch up last weekend - thanks for a mate who helped me mounting it took us half day farting around
as the leads are not long enough so we have to redo them

[pbk1776]

another update

not much of rear drawer but scored 2 free Toolboxes from my old man
fits well at the rear now only need cargo barrier

[pbk1776]

Put the patrol to the test - also some update
now running on 35's got some new lights
on top of the roof rack and also had some
major engine service like replacing water pump
idler arms, hoses and belts and etc...

finally got my Cargo Barrier from a forum member who I swapped with my GU Wheels, then from 3" to 4" lift with caster corrections
plus Dual battery kit ready for install when I can, plus I deleted my middle muffler to a straight pipe - then My next Mods will be

1. Manual hubs
2. Auto Front Locker

why? cause I'm cheap and cannot afford $1800 Plus for elocker or air locker - plus
if I want rock sliders and rear wheel, then I have to be cheap with my locker.

here couple of photos

she is looking the goods now mate, i have an auto locker and its fine for me.
