New solid and adjustable rear panhard for the GQ after I snapped mine last weekend.
I thought it was a trailing arm? Anyway nice one, is it a RR one?

[Winnie]

Nah used the wrong term last week, it was the panhard. Yeah got the RR one, bloody cheap. It was on special for $170

[Rossco]

Yeah nice. All my parts were cheap too, very pleasantly surprised. Way bigger than than standard, should be good get them fitted next week plus exchange steering box.

You have upgraded lower contol arms on yours? Standard ones are like maccas straws!!

[Winnie]

Nah mine are still standard, but I carry spares under the back seat haha!
When I break them I will replace with HD ones. This new panhard is so heavy compared to the stock one!

What parts have you got recently?

New HD tie rod, drag link & adjustable sway bar links.

[mudski]

Brought two of these[well very similar] and some 50mmx 50mm terminal covers.
The plan is to neaten up the terminals and then fit the rubber boots.

A/R 60 housing, mines a A/R 50. Plus it has the ported shroud for anti surge, mine doesn't.

A/R 60 housing, mines a A/R 50. Plus it has the ported shroud for anti surge, mine doesn't.

Im confused? The A/R wont effect whether it fits. Nor will the antisurge part of it. Does it not work because the wheel is a different size? This is most probable as there are different wheel sizes for the 3071.

[mudski]

Mine didn't have the anti surge. To be honest I don't even know what or how the anti surge will affect my setup, plus I dont really want to go changing this as it drives fine now, its just sucking air through a straw though right now. The wheel size is larger to suit the housing Ben gave me. Only by 1mm but, knowing my luck, I will just root something if I change too much. Getting housing with the everything the same, just the intake diameter different seems easier.

Bene also said to me a week or so after the meet down here, he wasn't confident that this housing will work on my turbo too. But it might. I asked MTQ, gave them all the specs on mine and even they didn't really want to say yes.

I'm at your peril Matty. Whats your thoughts with this housing? I haven't ordered this part yet. I don't know anywhere near enough to go buggerising around changing turbo bits mate.
I just thought to simply change over the housing to the larger intake and thats it.

[mudski]

Hey Mat. Do you know the Cat part number for the battery that fits under the bonnet of the GU? My battery is stuffed, I rang CAT and the guy I spoke to was piss farting around with batteries not even close to what would fit. Looking at their website and no wonder, its one page per battery so it takes for ever to look though their range.

[nissannewby]

Anti- surge wont effect anything. A/r wont effect is operation but will allow a little more volume for a given psi. If the wheel is 1mm smaller then it wont work. Clearance has to be less than 0.010".

Just run 4" all the way from airbox to turbo and just use a short 3-4" silicon joiner at the turbo.

Not off the top of my head mate. I would have to look as well. They should go up by size so shouldnt have to through them 1 by 1

Yeah the wheel is 1mm smaller, going by the spec sheets I have here, 53.1mm compared to 54.1mm for the GTX. Also the intake on the GT is 2.75", not 3".

Cant you buy different coloured "boots" to suit, cause as
you said you would sand blast the help out of the shaft

[BigRAWesty]

In all honesty I think the shocks in the patrol are quite well protected..
They are behind the axles, springs and everything else on both front and rear..

[taslucas]

You only have to check out an old shock to see the pitting and sandblasting that occurs. Obviously its different depending on the type of terrain you're on. Heaps of gravel roads at speed would certainly mean stone chips. I reckon for the relatively cheap price of the boots, compared to the shocks, they would be a good bit of protection.

I went and saw Lights today..... Might have bought a new Light Bar for the GQ! and a couple of other lights too. Paul has some very very kool lights. the New LED Light bar is a brand new product and measured 500% brighter than the Aurora Lights of the same size on Pauls LUX meter. Looking forward to mounting them up. If the bar fits i will buy one for the GUIV too i think.

Thanks Paul always a pleasure mate.

[Ben-e-boy]

Well they sorta are.. that's why we pay big bucks..

No they're not. The shafts themselves are as robust asthey can be. But they are still either chromed or micro polished. Finer dust particles will easily damage the shaft surface, they arn't that well protected at all up front.... I know because the shaft boots I asked for with my kings that never showed up would have stopped the pitting on one of my front shocks. But I bent that shock so I dont care that much anymore

[MudRunnerTD]

Cool, nice work. Curious how much the sway bar links were?

Yeah ive got one and do like it, but do prefer an old school nice axe with a bit of weight behind it for bigger splitting. Also not so good for driving in wedges. Handy for keeping in the 4by for camping tho.

You'll get used to it and find your own style. You can keep chopping all day without getting tired of the heavy splitters.

The lightness of the handle versus the axe head works pretty good for weight distribution.

Yeah not sure myself to be honest. I use a sharpener of a very similar type for my kitchen knives and it works really good. But the sharpener does wear out after a while and it needs to be replaced. For sharpening axes I would think the sharpener would last a long time compared to the kitchen sharpener, only because of the amount of times it would be used. I sharpen my kitchen knife maybe once a week to keep it super sharp.

They look to be a good way to mount the axes only problem i dont run a cargo barrier ,i like the idea of being able to access the fridge whilst on the road and not having to stop to get a fresh beverage. They would go allrite on the roof rack but couldent leave the axes up there full time as security would be a problem but would be great for trips out in the bush .

If you're not running drawers then it could mount along the rear Quarter moulding.
I have my fridge behind the driver, as its usually just me going away.
Plus in your case with the Fiskar having a hole in the handle thats one end secured
the other would be easy enough to figure out IMO

To get the best result if you have multiple panels is hook them up in series not parallel.

For convenience I was even thinking on the cargo barrier. It would mean at least a couple of meters run (still less than the 10m cable it came with) but access would be simple and straight forward as I already have 6 B&S twin core running to a junction down back and was contemplating running power to roof rack for lights from there too. Although running power from snorkle side out of bonnet would be neat (also have junction there). No snorkle yet though. Got a factory one in the shed from old gu ute. But contemplating 4" snorkle so not sure i can be bothered installing factory nissan haha. First world problems.

if your gonna go a 4" snorkel I wouldn't try and fit the factory one before hand, the holes needed probably won't quite line up with your 4" one and then you'll have extra holes to patch in your guard.

the foot well on the left hand kick panel. Its only a short run to the Aux battery from there.

Yeah one of my contemplated options. I might even add a fusebox / junction in behind there somewhere.

As long as it`s only a digit and not the whole hand of fingers. That`s another subject all together and comes under the heading of fisting. Any way, the struts work a treat.

I wish they had put a metal prop to hold up the bonnet instead of the gas struts and I was thinking of how to go about it. I kept the old original gas struts and the new ones weren`t cheap, but at least it`s better than the broom stick.

armed with that info take a trip down to the wreckers and find

Its actually second hand. The hose kit and loom are brand new though. Never used. Got it for a bargain. I couldn't say no. It will fit under the pax seat as its pretty flat. But real heavy. Its lower than the locker compressor under there now. I just have to figure out how to plumb and wire it so it works just as a compressor, and then just as a compressor for the air locker.
I'm real keen to see how fast this pumps up a deflated 35.

Nice score. Nothing to figure out mate. It has a pressure switch and cuts in and out off that. The loom turns it on. When you use the locker the solenoid opens and trips the pressure switch. Just add your pump up line in with female nittos and the pressure switch will still operate. The airline becomes storage.

As it stands now with my current compressor. I have two switches, one to turn the compressor on, it will only run though if its below the set pressure switch. And then theres the actual locker switch.

So I'm assuming, well hoping, with the new loom, I can do a third function of just soley running the compressor.

yeah nah its right now. The locker switch just turns on a Solenoid to activate your airlocker. I assume your running the ARB loom for the diff locker compressor? if so and you are happy to remove the locker compressor? then literally just remove the locker compressor and install the new one and plug it back in... Nothing to do, nothing to change.

The first switch turns on the compressor. The airlock switch does nothing to the compressor other than use air and initiate the low pressure switch to activate the compressor again. The ARB loom powers up the air locker switch Pin2 from the Pin3 on the Compressor switch but this is irrelevant to you.

The only thing you may need to alter is the supply size tot he new compressor and the size of the relay to activate it so only the Battery to Compressor side of the loom, the rest stays the same.

[MudRunnerTD]

Alternatively, leave the Airlocker compressor in play and just run an airline from your new compressor to an ARB Solenoid to isolate it and it can then be used as a back up if needed. Your Airlockers will function no better with the bigger compressor.

Yeah as I thought about it more. Its all the same. Apart from the actual wiring loom. The new one has some really heavy wire and different plugs. I'll work it out...

so in the quote from me above i talk about your pump up air lines. basically its a closed pneumatic circuit. Your compressor is switched from the pressure switch as a safety and will cut in and out according to the pressure in the lines. If you only have airlocks then when you first turn the compressor on it has to pressurise the locker air lines to the solenoids then the pressure switch cuts out the compressor and the airlines are charged with 120psi. You flick on the airlock and the solenoid opens to send air to the locker to activate it and the pressure drops in the lines and the compressor starts because the low pressure switch activates. happy days.

If you now run air lines to the engine bay, the back and each side and fit a female Nitto type plug that shuts off when not connected that line will now need to pressurise when you first turn the compressor on. when it holds 120psi the compressor will cut off. If you plug in an airless to pump up your tyres the compressor will start automatically as it now lost pressure. Your just adding more lines, more air. the circuit doesn't care if its an airlocker or a tyre.

Hope that helps mate.

[mudski]

Yeah it does. As I thought about it more it made sense. I just had it worked out in my head a different way. Just the wiring for this compressor is so different. I'll wait until I get my car back then worry about it.

Yeah I know that, it mainly for just airing up. My portable jobbie is to big to be portable. This will kicks it rsss in the psi department anyway.

Bushranger exhaust jack, an ARB tyre deflater and a drop down fridge slide, all from the show today.

I could have also helped myself to some more stuff from the countless 4wds in the car park with all their gear mounted on the spare wheels and roof racks. How stupid are some people really? No offense to anyone here that did this today at the show, but come on! I parked behind a Patrol with a spare wheel bag full of reco straps and what ever else was in it. His Hi-lift on the roof rack, not bolted down, a set of max trax and what it looked to be a custom made bbq from a cut in half beer keg. Just occy strapped! I saw many 4wds similar to this in the car park. Just asking for someone to steal their goodies.

What was funny though, was a kitted out Jimny in the car park, with rock sliders!!! Lol. It had fresh BFG MT's on it. They looked to be about 30inch in size too. So tiny. Good on the owner though, getting out there in what they have.

The one shop that I thought would have been there today but wasn't was Superior Engineering. Would have been good to window shop at their stall....

[sooty_10]

Come on folks surely more of you bought stuff from the show. Post up your gear with pics.

The fridge slide is getting sent to me. :(
I nearly bought a rear tube bar from Grunt 4x4. $1750 down to $1400 for the show. But they didnt have one there for me to look at, and they couldn't even show me a pic. Only the GQ bar they had on display. I wasn't convinced so I left that.

I spoke with the guys at Wholesale Auto's about their 5spd auto conversions. While the manual, the thought of an auto in my truck is getting more desirable. 20K for the conversion. Lol. Looks like I'll be sticking with the manual....

I dribbled and drooled over the T-Vans and Cub campers, and paid $11 for a tasteless Greek BBQ'd beef thingo'.

I would have hated to think how much I would have spent if I went for a look. The list keeps growing and growing. A rear bar is one of them too.

I truly though this was going to taste great though. As the smells of the meat cooking coming from the tent was awesome. Then my excitement was soon crushed when they handed it over to me, and there was a tiny bit of lettuce, iceberg too of all lettuces, one piece of tomato, 200 ton of red onion and bout 8 chunks of fatty beef, and a slight drizzle of garlic sauce. First bite I was gnawing on the meat for ever, most of it was thrown out. I was going to take it back but the line was 300 deep, I couldn't be arsed.
To make things worse as we left, we went around behind the food tents to the next pavilion, only to see a woodfire pizza van, sitting all on their lonesome. And I was hanging for a pizza too.

I went there with the intention of buying 2 things and left with 2 things only.

No point in window shopping for stuff I can't afford.

Yeah I went with the intent of buying a drop down, if it was at the right price, and a exhaust jack. But ended up getting a new ARB tyre inflator because mine leaks, and they were $15 off for the show. I love window shopping though, even though most things I want are way out of my price, I just like to look. I am the only male in my house so I get dragged around the shops, window shopping for clothes a lot, so this was my chance.

Engine mount, lets hope it arrives before the weekend and sorts out what ever the noise is when I go round a roundabout or turn right

They are the OEM looms that are used for the bumper lights on the GQ mate. They often get cooked by the exhaust on one side and ripped out on the other. Lol.

As mudski said it is the Wiring looms for the brake lights/ blinkers in the bumper bar. Mine had rusted the bulbs in tight.

Yes, I'm thinking possibly drive shaft rubbing on something, or possibly even fan rubbing..... cant see any sign if either though..... so left side engine mount first, then drivers side, then maybe gearbox mount

Have you tried cleaning the MAf? Maybe disconnect the battery for a couple of hours and see if the problem goes away:)
