What did you buy today

[MudRunnerTD]

Plassy, I didn't know so rang Itech and they advise the 3000a designation is actually 3000CCA, however it is duty rated. So whilst a larger battery AGM/Wet Cell, even lithium has a CCA it also has a listed reserve capacity where it will deliver at some rating (probably assume the ability to supply some cranking capacity before either the internal cells get too hot or the current is depleted to the point of either being ineffective or unable to adequately crank.. The ITECH unit is 3000CCA, but the duty point is massively lower time wise, however it is alternately linked to the number of starts at that rated 3000CCA. I think the box states the unit can do 40 jump starts on up to an 8L diesel before requiring a recharge, however unsure if these are one after another of some other timeline. Anyway, its a monster

I have a Nocco unit and rate it highly. I keep it in the back of the car permanently plugged into a Cig port. constant trickle charge while driving. I ahve pulled over and helped more that a couple of motorists. Works great.

Didn't think about that. the 900amp unit i have in the subaru can sit there in the rear cig lighter - thanks for that Darren.

What amperage is your Nocco mate? Mine also rides in the back on charge when driving but was useless as an ashtray on a bull when needed (600A peak output). What sort of vehicles have you zapped with it?

Inhave a GB70. I used it to start Roofy's car in the back yard when we did the big clean up. It had not been run for a year and the radio didn't even work. I was a little worried but left it sit a minute then cranked it into life. To Mt surprise I immediately removed it like I have before ans the car shut down. I jumped it again and left it connected for 15 minutes while the Alternator caught up.

It has jumped my GU TD a heap of times too. Jumped the GQ a few times too. As mentioned it is plugged in constantly in the back of the car so always fully charged. It's been great.

[jff45]

Also have the Noco GB70 that's rated at 2000 amps. Haven't needed it yet for the Patrol but I do use it to start my old Kubota tractor occasionally rather than buy a new battery for it..

My previous 400 amp Powertech, that I got as a gift, wouldn't start the tractor and also wouldn't start my wife's 2.2l TD Sorento.

Finally bit the bullet and bought 75mm lift Dobinsons springs all round for my older now bush ute to replace the 50mm ones with 75mm lift shocks and bump stops to suit previously fitted. They’ve done alright to date keeping my Australia wide road max height limits lift yet performance of 3” shock down travel on the tracks flexing but found they are destroying my rear kevlar socks on the airbags and have lost the protective airbag end caps when the differing spring/shock combo are completely off pressure/loose.

Where most batteries are made…. China ! But the bloke who sells them has a good warranty on them and makes a good point about AGM batteries, the majority of 100 amp hour ones weigh in at 23 kgs, this monster is 30. In a lead acid battery, more weight is good. And it fits the ARB tray, ar 305 mm length.

Went and had a look at one of these today but didn't drive it, just tyre kicking. Jeez it's a bloody nice car mate. What are you planning to do with the wheels? Leave them road-based or will you put 17's on it (I'm told they will fit) with better offroad rubber?

Spoke with a bloke who just got back from a test drive. He loved it and he owns a 2016 MUX which he bloody loves too but starting to rack up the k's.

Ahem.....sorry Patrol forum and all...

[Winnie]

I'm loving it so far, getting used to all the driving "safety" aids, it just takes an open mind and a slight change in driving style. You'd have to try pretty hard to crash it.
I plan on getting my moneys worth out of these 20" tyres and then when it's time for a new set probably change to a set of nicer looking 18" with mild all terrains.
This is the Mrs daily and will do some caravan trips and touring. It is not replacing the Patrol, it's not even playing the same game as my Patrol.
Value for money in the current market you cannot go wrong, and if you plan on keeping a new 4WD for a long time the Isuzus are the only option with a long term tried and tested engine in the 4JJ.

When I fitted the two singles & centre console (from an ST) into my DX (& removed the 1.5 bench seat taking it from a '3 seater' to a two seater) I took it to VicRoads as was supposedly required. Lady there looked at me kinda strange, but came out, stuck her head though the window & said (& I quote) "Yep, that's two seats". When I asked for proof that the seat change had been inspected by VicRoads I was told that it wasn't possible because they don't record the number of seats on the rego certificate. In short they say you should have them check it, but it's only meaningless words.

Yeah i think it only matters if the variant didnt come like that. As the GU Ute came as a 2 or 3 seater it probably doesnt matter,

I am looking at a GVM Upgrade and Lift fir the Y62 now and am advised by OnTrack that if i want to fit out the back now and remove the 3rd row seats prior to the lift then the Engineer would be obliged to Engineer it as a 5 Seater moving forward rather than a 7 Seater. If i do this i have to remove the seat belts as well and can not sell it in the future as a 7 Seater. Not sure i care but am chewing over that now.

mudski do you have the 3rd row in your GU? Did your Engineer comment when you had yours Engineered? I think Matty might have to grab the rear row seats for the GU when we finally get it transferred. Will he need them in for RWC?? Surely Not?

I had to remove the belts when the seats came out for the rear drawers and engineering for the GQ. The removal of the seats gave me more effective room capacity wise. Allows fitment of the cargo barrier as well as you cant have one in a 7 seater i was told. I cant see why the seats cannot be reinstalled down the track, with the seatbelts and it get swapped back to a 7 seater, but its going to be expensive as the whole car needs to be re-done - at least that is what 2 VASS engineers have told me.

Fair enough - an induction cooker would be nice. Mate has one in his expedition Canter. FWIW he went through several before finding one he liked.All the cheap ones had poor heat control (ie. full on/full off) but he ended up with one as controllable as gas, & which draws less amps on lower settings, but it wasn't cheap. Around $800 IIRC. If you haven't already , you might need to check that the Lithiums you got are able to provide sufficient current. Not all are, with some limited to 50amps continuous.

No I removed the seats and belts for the engineering. It was engineered as a five seater, which in turn gave me an 160kg's on my GVM. I got rid of my 3rd row seats soon after I bought the Patrol.
If I were Matty. I would hide the 3rd rod seat belts. Easy done just tuck the belt behind the pillar cover, its what I did. Go get the roady and not say anything. Chances are they won't say anything. If they do, worry about it then. Getting 3rd row seats will be cheap as they are a hard thing to sell. No one wants them.

Am amazed that you were a bit underwhelmed with the EBC pads! Did you follow their bedding in instructions to the letter? Maybe the DBA rotors are somehow less effective than the RDA Slotted & Dimpled rotors that I have with them - can't see why that should be though??? What is the hydrobooster kit?

[Cremulator]

It's this kit using a hydraulic brake booster sourced from AC Delco in the US.
https://www.marks4wd.com/mfk20130.html

I just fitted this to my TD42 on the 13th March along with the braided brake lines.

I'm taking the car away for a trip this weekend, so I'll have a chance to drive it for an extended period with it loaded up.
First impressions after fitting it and it is noticibly different. That's with my standard rotors/pads (not sure of brand, came with the car).

The EBC pads were an improvement on the Bendix stuff but, with my GVM upgrade, I run permanently around the 3.2t and I just don't find the braking adequate without more than average pedal pressure applied. My 76 year old legs want the Patrol to brake like our Kia Sorento :)

The "overseas manufactured" RDA are cheaper rotors than the DBA and the dimples actually do nothing in our Patrol typical usage.

Yes I wouldn't say that ours (GVM upgrade 3.9t & drum brake rear - so RDA/EBC only on the front) brakes like a modern lightweight car, but the difference between this set up (including stock brake hoses) & the OEM set up is chalk & cheese. It changed the car from unsafe to safe. I don't have to use huge pressure on the pedal, but certainly more than was required in my wife's little Mitsubishi mirage which only needed a very light touch on the pedal. I did think that I might want to fit braided lines, but to be honest I think it's 'good enough'. We travel at around 5 tonnes with the Tvan hooked up & changed from Greenstuff to Yellowstuff pads only because they tolerate greater heat on long downhills without fading. Stopping performance seems about on par with the Greenstuff pads.

I will be interested to hear your evaluation of your new setup.

[jack]

I’m running the RDA/EBC all round with Yellowstuff pads, I rate the combination highly. Followed the bedding in instructions to the letter (as recommended by Cuppa). Had a good workout before Xmas when I descended the Adelaide Hills, with the fully loaded van and car being close to maxed out. Had to jump out of the heavy vehicle lane several times due to 10kph being just to slow, then had to use the brakes several times.
Got to the traffic lights at the bottom with trepidation (after reading all the official and unofficial warnings), not a problem. Stopped flawlessly with no shudder or fade.

When towing we got stung with that Adelaide hill at the bottom, with a long traffic jam. Our set of new, but bedded in Falcon front discs warped because of the uneven heat sinking. Bugga!

Have you done the calcs for this? Do you know the specs at all of the PTO capacity? You will need 16hp to run that pump @ 1000rpm @1500psi. And about 110nm of torque when at the 1000rpm and 1500psi. I don't know the specs of the PTO output off the side of the patrol box just trying to make sure it's done right. Also you can't use a hydraulic winch if the engine isn't running, where an electric might flatten some batteries but could get you out of a lot of trouble before doing so.

Is this raptor paint actually harder than standard 2 pack? would seem its going to be harder to wash with all those rough pockets? I do like the matt look though.

[Cremulator]

It has a hardening compound that you mix with it before application.
The paint is actually like a soft jelly before you add the hardener to the bottle.
Hopefully a high pressure hose will be all that's needed to wash it if required.

Edit: best part was that I didn't need to get the surface preparation perfect and the raptor covered any rough areas.
You can see in this photo what it looked like after paint, but before raptor.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2022/04/98.jpg

That has come up smicko mate! Mine’s looking a bit tired and you’ve given me food for thought.If I was to do it again with a bar that was in fair condition I would probably just rub it back with sandpaper or a course Scotch pad, then paint it with raptor. The condition of this bar really warranted stripping it back though.
I used a Raptor Schutz spray gun, but you can get a finer texture with a Raptor vari nozzle gun.

Wow Cremulator, that came up looking good. Peebee, this stuff is originally a ute bedliner. It is fairly tough. It covers all sorts of sins. It can chip if hit hard enough, but its easily repaired by a blob of black paint, which you cant do with a beautiful glossy finish. Use a stiff brush or a pressure cleaner. The 3 medium sized roos hit at 110kph with the raptored uneek bullbar on the wrangulator did not cause any damage 🤪

Thanks mate. Good to hear that no interference noise on yours. Squelch adjustment does not change it, last night I received a voice signal and noise stopped while receiving. Will try an AC/DC pwr supply and different 12V battery supply point (radio fuse _ piggy back thingo) and see what is the go.

[Bidja]

Rossco sorted, it was set on open squelsh (small speaker button on front panel was pushed in), allowed for all signal (atmospheric _ white noise) to be heard.

SQUELCH
Page 12 of manual

The Squelch is used to eliminate any annoying
background noise when there are no signals
present. The Squelch can be opened or closed by
pressing the key. When the Squelch is open
the receiver’s background noise can be heard and
the icon is displayed on the LCD. When the
Squelch is closed the receiver remains quiet while
there are no signals present but any incoming
signals will override the Squelch and be heard in
the speaker.

Gadgets that sometimes put my head into a deeper state of confusion haha

You see part of the journey, now from bottom going up:
The radios are self explanatory.
Just above mic is an indicator (led/alarm) for the Water Watch _ diesel/water separator. hthttps://www.waterindiesel.com.au/tp://
Above hazard light is the Kings _ Throttle Control Unit: alters TPS signal sent to ECU/ECM (not used currently). Can work well with CRD drive by wire setup.

Round dial gauge is used to measure vacuum @ the VNT turbo actuator diaphragm (real time) actuator rod position which indicates the VNT vane aperture opening positioning within limits set. Vac gauge also shows the change rate of the vanes aperture relative to boost pressure and MAF voltage (MAF V measures by the multi meter at top of dash). MAF voltage is taken from MAF sensor (back probe connector or as I now have spliced into ECM harness). MAF voltage correlates to MAF rate (g/s) measured.

I play/trial with various boost control methods.

By the way the other two (in counsel cutout), the aux/main battery monitor plus electronic brake controller for tow.

Out of sight the (usual): EGT, Boost(relative), Oil and scan gauge.

Nice one Crem. You should see the shit they leave on roofs for good old galvanic reaction to do its damage. Constantly amazes me payments for work on the roof aren't dependent on a final roof inspection.

Long story short Ash Mate…..here we go, witnessed a homemade similar awesome contraption over in the back blocks of China years ago.
Passing through a Western ‘Valve’ manufacturing town, truck after overloaded uncovered truck of Swarf (steel curls/mill shavings) were spilling out enroute to the recycling depot.
Have never seen so many tyre/tire repair shops in a a row [emoji23]
That’s how China works, employment lowered by design.
Smartest thing I saw was a magnetic contraption, pedal magneto I assume under a Hard Working Ladies what we would call a Tricycle, fully loaded little tipper on Her Tri-Tipper following the Big Rigs to the Recycling Plant [emoji123][emoji123][emoji106][emoji106]

Yeah I've killed two of the 230v units, both died the exact same way, they just started sparking and carrying on, can't remember the model, both out of warranty, but bloody hell they are very handy. So I bought the 12V option. Still handy but weak as piss though.

[PeeBee]

Rear Hydraulic winch runs a 16mm rope, so tracked down a winch ring and soft coupling slings from George 4x4. $130 delivered and 150mm dia. The 12m rings, which I have also are limited to 12mm rope and dia 100mm.

EDIT, ring is rated for 15000KG, not pounds, so OK for larger winch, happy days

I bought 2 rolls , same time last year. Used a few small lengths for some sideways shade cloths at ground level in the backyard, . Within weeks UV ate it for breakfast. Went dry and frail and de-stranded. So cannot recommend it for a "lengthy period of time job.
At work we use whats supposedly known as Telstra rope. I think it's got 500kg-ish breaking load. We consistently pull multi-ton cables with it and it just keeps on keeping on. So I've used that to make up a bunch of stuff like your self Darren. Yell out if you need some as kilometres of it end up in the bins after cable pulls.

Also just noticed Aldi has those canvas bags again at the moment. I got some last year and they are great for the price!!! THis year they have some different ones up for grabs.

Cheers Eric. Yeah Telstra rope is awesome a little big for Mt application but i have used it to tie down more than a few trailer loads.

Last time out swagging I was short a couple of ropes for the swag tarp so this was timely. To be fair they will never really see daylight but I take your info on notice for sure!

[MudRunnerTD]

I am only guessing he ties the rope to a hankie, and shoves it into the lubricated pvc then blasts it with a hit of compressed air which launches the plug up the pipe with the rope attached. If his guys dont hold on tight enough the rope flies out the end - maybe, I don't know, who knows hat he really means, could be talking about plucking a donkey tail or eating a dorito.

Make a Shute out of the hanky and tie the corners with a rope to shoot up the conduit catch it at the other end and use the rope to haul cable through, used to use plastic bags todo the same when I worked for pmg/telecom/Telstra made it easy better than pushing rods.

Ah. Might want to look at a comfier seat if you're just munching miles, depending how much natural padding you bring to the situation ;)
Chain oiler and sprocket advice stands.

I'm not up to speed with the oz rules. I know NZ blindly and daftly followed your LAMS (power to weight ratio for learners) scheme...which did open up some good bikes for newbies but also achieved nothing in terms of safety...
they then hiked the registration/continuous licensing costs (which I don't think you have??) for >650cc machines which made it a proper ball-ache, especially if you kept more than one horse in the stable... I mean, you only have one arse, so why do we have to pay for multiple bikes :@ Bang Head

Yeah that colour. I saw a blue one in Traralgon when I was working down there earlier this year, and well, looking at it made me feel just like I did as a teenager looking at my Elle McPherson bikini calendar! :D

Congrats on the new rig! I am with everyone else, that color is gorgeous. And the bullbar was color matched, right? Couldn't really tell if it was blue or black.

Very nice Plassy, enjoy.

[mudski]

Well, didn’t buy it but a nice donation from a supplier. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2022/12/31.jpg
I sold pallets of these kits over the last twelve months. Got big reviews from some on YouTube. So will be a good replacement for the abortion of a tool kit I currently have in the Patrol.

Nice one! Top brand for sure.
Laughed at your "abortion of a toolkit", hahaha. Mine is just like that! Started as a chinese set I got as a gift that I have been replacing individual items as they break. At the end it will cost me the price of two nice kits, because I am buying one piece at a time (more expensive that way) . Despite that, I´d rather keep it because it was a gift from a key person in my life that is already gone. Every part I have replaced was a motive for a friendly phone call full of man-close-friend-gratitudes of the likes of "look at this POS thing you gave me! I had to buy a new part for it! AGAIN!" and lots of laughs.

That doesn't happen anymore...


... but the POS still breaks! LOL.

Thanks boss the gift card was used on the way home
I'm going to enjoy my little break..

I can’t get into Rum. But like most liquors, if you are introduced to a new liquor but it’s a cheap one, chance are you won’t enjoy it. For example I could never enjoy drinking Vodka neat. Until my brother gave me a glass of whatever brand it was he drinks, it wasn’t Russian as he had Russian mates who never drink Russian Vokda, anyhow, it tasted really nice, easy and smooth. So I suppose it the same for a good Rum.

Gin on the other hand I have never tasted at all. Been meaning too but ever time I go to buy one, I find a new import Bourbon I just gotta buy and try.

One day.

Enjoy mate.

Start off with the sugar cane champagne, Bundy rum. You'll never go back to anything else.

I hear ya.

Never been a fan of vodka, but I've never tried anything but Smirnoff.

If I'm wanting to mix the gin I'll get Gordon's, but having it neat I like to try different more expensive ones. I saw a gin and chilli one, need to try that one day.

I do the same with rum, so far the Baron Samedi is full of different flavours and nice to have it mixed or neat.

Does anybody else NOT have ice. I'll prefer to pour a glass and stick it in the freezer for 20 minutes.

G`Day Mudski mate.

Here`s a good Vodka to rap your tongue around, Zubrowka, Bison grass vodka, Polish stuff.
Comes with a long blade of bison grass in the bottle. There are a couple of different qualities but even the el`cheap`o one is good. NO MIXING, a tad of ice if you must. 8641086410

Also the two Whisky Liqueurs are worth a try.
Lark Slainte from Tas is a favorite of mine, on the boat going over and back they normally only have one bottle on board so its a run around the bars to find it.

The Limeburners, Karri Honey whisky liqueur from WA in smooth as .
Can be drunk at room temp or can be cooled to your liking. totally changes taste from room to cold. I prefer it to be cold no ice but I spose you could drop some in.

[Sprock]

Well done Plasy, did you colour co ordinate your ear trumpet aswell so you can see what’s on here haha
