G'day all.

Im Chris everyone calls me Clam.
I'm new to thee site, and hoping to get a little more info, Im a local lad in Rockhampton Qld, bit of a patrol enthusiast I own my second patrol the first being a MK patrol, rebuilt it turned that into a weapon then killed it and broke my heart. lol so now I own a tidy GU wagon.
Im not one to bead around the bush so i'll get straight into it, I have a little issue with my wagon and I was mostly looking for some ideas and meet a few lads that enjoy patrols and the outdoors as much as I do.
I own a 2000 gu wagon. Originally I had a 3.0 direct injection ZD30, since then I blew it up and put in a TD42 silvertop. with a highmount turbo, front mount intercooler and injection pump done to it, making respectable power. but the only issue I have left is, some times when I'm on the brakes hard and just as the car is stopping, the engine revs drop down about 150 pm, but its only brief until I take my foot off the break. I've ad me alternator checked (running the alternator vac pump and all) the braking system is fine. I had a rear calliper seazing up (common fault apparently). its collosal bad when the air con is on. and I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions as to why the car might be doing this, my mechanic is scratching his head not having any ideas. So I'm hoping someone might have a idea or something I can try to fix it.

Cheers people, ~Clam
