[AB]

Only managed to put the last of the air intake on after I pulled it all apart and got it all water tight.
Need to finish off the inner guard and then I can see how ab's bar lines up with my scrub bars.

Then fit the 33's... still have to wire up the lights on the rear bar and a couple of smaller jobs.

When I have some more time as nd money I will get it looked at by a diesel tuner and figure out the injector pump or injectors.

The injector pump is not set up right at all and needs some love... a mate of Georges who is a ships diesel mechanic liked the sound of the engine but said all the problems are with either the pump or the injectors.

It's a hard thing to put a price on not knowing whats wrong with it though. A tune is probably around the $200-$250 mark.

Winnie what did you end up doing with your pump and what did it cost... via pm if you like..lol.

Funny I have been driving the sedan for 2 months and now the gq feels like a kenworth.

[AB]

What's wrong with the pump?

[MudRunnerTD]

Bugger he sold it mate. I have a guy over near AB that does pumps and does good work. Plenty of comp guys using him. When you start talking UFI the price goes UP.

If you want to have a chat with my guy let me know mate. Would be the time to fit a 12mm plunger though while it's apart but any mods cost, savings are made in that the pump is in bits anyway.

Invisible Ink

[Rossco]

What did jpc have to say? Did they just do timing and fuel mix?

As daz says prefect time to get the pump sorted now but I know its just more $$$$$ isn't it hmmmm.

[nissannewby]

12mm pumps are a big step up from a NA 10mm and may be over the top for BA's application. But on the appropriate setup 12mm pumps really come into their own. The costs might be up there but it will basically be new when you get it back none of this guessing with secondhand pumps.

Winnie what did you end up doing with your pump and what did it cost... via pm if you like..lol.

I have done nothing with mine. My car has a stock GU pump on it. So instead of the 10mm plunger found on the GQ it has the 11mm plunger and a boost compensator.
It does need a rebuild though and when it is rebuilt I will ask diesel tech whether he will do it or who he recommends. I will stay with 11mm though.
12mm is over the top for you.

[Bloodyaussie]

I couldnt help myself and just went for a drive.. still heaps to do so everything felt unfinished.

I got onto the freeway for the first time and stretched its legs a little, it blows no smoke that I can see now and pulls past 2000rpm.

What is the usable rev range on an NA?

I checked and changed air pressures in the tyres as it was all over the place and all these things add up to that crap feel when driving.

I have only driven Winnies car on the tracks so have no really idea how its supposed to feel on the road and Winnies is set up well with a turbo.

There is a bit of vibration and not sure if its normal or not and it has not had its valve clearances done while hot yet as it seemed a bit tappity .. more so than what I would expect.

Mark at JPC said that the pump was not feeding one of the cylinders properly and he also said compession was good across all cylinders.

He said injectors were fine... his advice was to either send mine away to get some love or find an 11mm pump from a late GU TD42.

[Rossco]

Bloody good news about the compression slowly sort out the other stuff and should be bloody good. Havent driven a na one but would thing they wouldn't be that keen to rev out.

[Ben-e-boy]

They make power to 4000rpm, dont be shy. Clean the cobwebs out

Keep the pump you have now until you can afford a turbo, then spend money on it

[AB]

Really ... I was tempted to give it a good go and thought to myself it probably needs a good run... I still need to sort a few things first.

The speedo is not working and need to trouble shoot that, I had to use a speedo app while I was out before.

My tyres are out of balance also so that does not help.

Early days I guess and clearing my head for the last 10 days has helped.

[nissannewby]

yep there is a reason why there is a red bit on the tacho.

[cgm]

Having a quick catch up on your thread last night and again tonight I think it sounds pretty positive BA. Not quite to the end yet, but the good compression across all cylinders is a big win compared to the scare earlier. At least now you know you can slowly get there as you get the $$$ together. If compression was stuffed that was going to be a killer.

[Bloodyaussie]

yep there is a reason why there is a red bit on the tacho.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha................Gold !!!!!!!!!!!

So if it does not want to pull all the way then I need to park it and get the pump sorted.

[nissannewby]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha................Gold !!!!!!!!!!!

In a race application the needle will go into that red part :).

What does it pull to? If it still pulls ok and economy and smoke aren't excessive then there is no reason to park it.

[MudRunnerTD]

Did you get the Dyno sheet from JPC? They would show your power curve through to 4,000 I would have thought. When I first did the Dyno I found another 1000 revs for sure mate, until then I'd never really gone past 3000 but it bogeys to 4k now.

I keep forgetting you don't have a turbo yet, I would run that pump until your cashed then do the turbo and pump build at the same time. You can spend a bit or a Sh1t load though.

Chasing 120rwkw is realistic and reasonably priced, chasing 150rwkw is significantly more, chasing 180 to 200rwkw is a whole lot more money.

Yes i understand that and i know changing the actual cam timing change the power curve to be earlier or later to give you more or less revs BUT what i'm saying is my motor stock standard with no mods at all will see 5 - 5,500rpm daily without any hassle and without any modification were a stock standard out of the box td will not. Well it might but not for very long, even my tb complains about it by putting its tappets out of adjustment but ahh well lol.

George fixed my other tyre and fitted it this afternoon so the violent shaking should be taken care of.. shame when a brand new tyre has a damaged sidewall and is so out of round it is more like an egg, it is usless and for the tip.

No need to really change the cam timing. It's all in the fuel pump.

A general guide for diesel rwkw is its capacity. So for a 4.2 around 265rwkw (265ci) as it's limit. However with technology advancing the way it is and a lot more people playing with diesels this is not so especially with the likes of the dura max and cummins engines. I have not heard of anyone breaking the 300kw mark on a td42 yet.

It's pretty subtle I'd say. It says "DTS Turbo Systems" on the airbox though.

Im pretty sure you'll be right, it looks like a reputable kit. Sure it would be all good unless you got a jerk of an assessor. Just dont rev it too hard when you drive in!!

[Maxhead]

Fwarkk you lot make me laugh....

So what is the secret handshake?

Got the scrub bars on... thought it would take 30min . Ened up taking half the morning.

Alexander helped me wash the car.

Looks great Jonno, Looks like the time and effort(and money) you put in was worth while mate..WELL DOne

Micheal you wont have any trouble bud.

Its not a rwc its just a viewing of the engine numbers.. The dts kit is a tidy bit of gear and not out of place.

The girl who did my paperwork said the things not lifted off its head so high that she cant get into the engine bay to see the numbers... ha ha ha

Famous last words..there are some real assholes at the one at burwood I know that.

I actually didn't take mine off either so I can't talk but I was nervous....lol

For the sake of a few hours though to convert back to NA if you can do it easily then I would do it.

If its a monumental nightmare then do the gauntlet.

Looks fantastic mate, really well done. You'll love it even more once it's turboed. Have you put much thought into what turbo kit you'll run?

I didn't realize they were with GQ's. Hopefully it won't be an issue.

My local is the Bundoora/Uni Hill one. They seem pretty relaxed every time I've been there. I don't have any NA parts at all, including exhaust. I think I'll just roll the dice.

Like BA mentioned, unless it's jacked up like crazy hopefully it will be fine. She's nothing over the top. Only 3" and 35's.

Well kids this is why I went NA first then after its official I fit the turbo.... much easier and less stress.

You should be right mate, I'm always paranoid.

I had my 3" straight through, turbo and many other goodies and literally idled into the pits.

Started general convo with the bloke, it was raining though and he just wanted to be back inside in his warm office so it was a perfect situation!

[Winnie]

What did you have to get inspected for Andy?

[AB]

What did you have to get inspected for Andy?

Change rego from me to me pty ltd.

When I did that there was an issue with my engine number.

Basically Vicroads had misspelt a letter in my engine number from its first registration in 1990 and they only picked up on it when I tried to do a simple transfer and it had to come in to the pits.

There's a thread here somewhere about it.

Your telling me. Feck! I'm impressed.

What's the issue at Vic Roads and a turbo on the td42?

[Bloodyaussie]

Not the td42 Mark but the GQ did not come with a turbo.

So tempted to take the car out today but I have to be a good boy and get back into the Bluebird... One thing I will need to sort is the aircon, I dont have the proper lines and the efi ones hit the alternator.

I cannot go without aircon and the family will not want to go away on trips if it is not working so if anyone knows of or comes across aircon lines let me know please.

[Family4x4]

Can you please send me a picture of the aircon line ends?

[Bloodyaussie]

I have 3 compressors and 2 that I know are good that have completely different fittings... the efi one the lines clamp down together but the other one has independent lines threaded in.. I will get a photo later.

[Winnie]

Rossco has just got air con all plumbed up on his car

And as I said the DTS kit looks factory and they staff at Bundoora would be none the wiser...I dont see any problems.

In all I was there 30min including wait time so pretty quick.

[Dales300exc]

I had all engine bay orings changed, new receiver dryer, new compressor to firewall and compressor to condensor lines made and a regas/leak test for $421.

[Bloodyaussie]

Exhaust question... 3 inch straight through... hot dog... muffler.... ????

Whats the best option?

[Winnie]

Straight through. No muffler, no hotdog, no cat converter... just a piece of pipe from the motor to the tip. Are you waiting until you fit the turbo?

[Bloodyaussie]

That's kinda up to you bud. I like straight through but I like noise. If you will to keep it relatively quiet the throw a muffler in.

Just went 3inch no mufflers, small drone at 100km/h. But other than that very very quiet in the car. No so much outside.

Yep, me and AB both used the same bloke in Bayswater. Couldn't recommend him highly enough, did an awesome job and very cheap. Mine needed pretty much everything new on the engine bay side of things, works great now.

The problem with the GQ air con is they were a dealer fitted option, not a factory item, so there are sooo many different fittings out there. Just easiest to take it to the professionals and they will get it sorted. You'll need them to gas it anyway. Let us know if you want the name of this bloke. Probably a good idea to get in soon,, they get pretty busy once the weather warms up!!

By the way the car is looking very good :)

[Bloodyaussie]

On Saturday I drove up to Matfews place in Gisborne and many of you might know that its is a long up hill trip heading that way and the car ran well but noticed it blowing lots of smoke on the real steep sections.

On any level bits of road I did not notice smoke at all.

When I got to Gisborne I happened across Matty heading home so got him to follow me and he said it blew as much smoke as Kallens rig (in other words a lot) and it was nothing to worry about and being I was putting a turbo on not to bother with adjustment.

Only the day before I got a bend made up for the end of the exhaust as it was blowing soot onto the rear bar and it was covering the back door, this helped this problem perfectly but I thought it was funny that just from one trip up the freeway the tail pipe had changed colour to a technicolour dream... it got that hot.

When I got to Matty's we loaded all my gear into his car and took that for our shooting trip and even though his is a basic set up with no intercooler it felt so nice.

Sean drove that night and his car is an NA and I should have asked him how it felt in comparison.

When we got back to Matty's place I loaded all my gear back into my car and set off with just about the whole drive down hill back to Melbourne.... it was a perfect drive (except for needing wheel balance) and the weather made it all the better.

I love having my car back !!!!!!!!

[Winnie]

Wooo! So motor is running fine then?

[Family4x4]

Matts car felt much nicer, it has better gear in general like suspension.

As far as the turbo it was much more responsive not much chugging, the turbo spools up quickly and the throttle always felt more responsive. A big difference in 4 Low.

If you remember the hill climb after the first paddock that has always been in my mind a place where I was curious as to how a turbo would effect the climb. In my n/a td42 I always end up in second, in Matts we went back to second but much later and if I had been more aggressive at the bottom perhaps we might have made it in 3rd.

[Bloodyaussie]

Wooo! So motor is running fine then?

Yeah the more I drive it the better it seems to feel.. Still needs valves adjusted hot.

Been thinking when I can afford it and if I can find a good set but Nissan X-Trail T31 seats are so comfy and are narrow so I think should fit well in a GQ.

When driving back from Pambula Beach I stopped for a total of 15min and felt it was no trouble driving more than 7 hours sitting in those seats.

[Drewboyaus]

I've seen Honda Prelude seats in a GQ and they are great!

That is because his is a silver GQ!! Ha Ha!

Sounds good Jono, blowing smoke should make it go good if its overfuelled! Sounds like the pump needs some love tho once pump & turbo are done you won't know yourself, especially on a long bush trip where you dont even need to think about enough fuel or if it will start on gas or not!!

Onwards and upwards!!!

I was being modest and told him we'll run 3.5" but really it'll be a mission running that or even 4" around the diff housing :D

Custom made. You just got to know the right people :).

[Bloodyaussie]

Here is a bit of an update....

I ended up taking oil from the oil pressure side off a T-piece to feed the turbo after I starved it and the car sounded like a truck and blew tonnes of smoke.

The turbo I got was a cheap deal I got but is proving to be just that.

It is a shwitzer turbo and came with an intercooler off who knows what?

Now yesterday I went for a drive since fixing the boost leaks and getting oil to the turbo and it felt ok but today I fitted a catch can and plumed the wasted gases to the low pressure side of the intake and now the car does not seem like it wants to boost ... before it was flat out getting to 7 pound but I dont think it even manages that now.

There is also a really bad vibration through the pedal and seems to vibrate through the whole car.

It does not blow one bit of smoke now at all and is also bloody loud.... like driving a Kenworth.

I managed to get my new pyrometer to work and on the freeway under light load at 95kmh it was sitting on 350-400... coming onto the freeway it gets over 450 pushing 500????

Right now I cant stand it !!!

Disconnect the catch can and see what happens to the boost.

Pyros are way to high,


When did the vibrations start?

[Ben-e-boy]

How big is that turbo?

[Bloodyaussie]

Vibration started today after installing the catch can.. I dont know how big the turbo is ... where would I look.???

[AB]

I'm sorry mate but that is too high even without an ic.

If I was in your shoes I would be concerned with the play you said you had in the shaft and running it dry. Have you tuned it?

Again, in your shoes, I would start again.

Find a schematic of the galleries and see if its possible to blow out that gallery without causing further issue and get oil flowing that side of the block because you still have no oil going to alternator yes?

My priority would be to get oil to that side for alternator.

Sort that out and then get a good tune and let an expert advise.

I'm happy to speak to Andy at dieseltec.

[AB]

Step 1. Get schematic and ensure when you blow air down that gallery it's going out, not into shitty crevices blocking other major paths and get oil to alternator.

Step 2. Either take that turbo to someone to tune and assess or throw it away and just get a second hand ht18 for now.

Step 3. Enjoy your hard work.

Already posted that up last week but thanks.... it does not have what I need.

[Bloodyaussie]

This is aimed at Matty and George but texting this much gives me the shits...

Today I only managed to remove all the intercooler set up and oil filters plus other bits that get in the way so as to get to the bits that I was instructed too.

I pulled the alternator oil line off and the grub screw for the turbo feed and got a long cable tie as it was stiff but flexible.. it went in a fair way before hitting an obstruction but when I pulled out the cable tie it was covered in oil on both ports... I mean covered in oil.

So there is plenty of oil there but no pressure on that side.

Now I have not pulled the valve on the oil filter side out yet as I have been neglecting my family so time was very limited .

I am still not clear as yet and will have to confirm what I am supposed to do next with the valve thingy...? Its bloody hard to get to on that side.

[nissannewby]

Drain your coolant....

[Bloodyaussie]

Drain your coolant....

OH you prick.... thats what George told me to do also... I hate both of you !!!!

[Bloodyaussie]

Oil cooler has been removed and I have inspected the unit and pulled out the valve and checked it was working.

As for blowing air through the block I think I was blowing into the right port but not 100%.. plus I need another person here to see if there is any pressure at all on the other side?

Right now I feel like I am fumbling around with my you know what in my hand??

I am so frustrated by this shit.. I had to remove the fuel lines from the injector pump and the starter motor to get to this bugger and is a real pain.

I am not sure what I am doing now?? oh thats right cooking dinner.

Ay can you stick a manual oil pressure gauge inline to the turbo.
Also how could the catch can cause issues? It just filters air I thought?

I'd be suspect of the turbo mate.
Pull it and check it out. Last thing you want is to have it blow and send shards threw the engine...

Unfortunately it's the classic poor man pays twice. Take it to the specialist and get them to check it out. Spend a little now to ensure less down the track..

Everytime I woke last night I thought about unblocking oil galleries... just been looking at this diagram again and going off what Matty said the other day and trying to make sense of it..

The pressure reg valve looked ok when I cleaned it yesterday but there was a bit of gunk in there and very small wear marks on the cylinder.

Still not sure of what I am doing and I have just been told that Alexander is crying because he does not want to be stuck at home again while I work on the car.... I cant bloody win.

I will see if I can get even 10 min outside to work on the car before he gets upset at me???

[BigRAWesty]

Stick him in the car mate. Without the keys.
Sophia love it when I'm working on the patrol and just watches.
Flicks every bloody switch but still has fun.

[Bloodyaussie]

Ok managed 30 min and this is what I have managed... as Matty advised me to blow air from the cooler side but cannot get a good seal so went around to the alternator side where I managed a solid seal and after a bit of stuffing around can hear air going to the gallery where the pressure valve feeds the the alternator..

I managed to thread the air gun in a few turns so I could try and fell where the air was going to and go a decent amount of air coming through but not what I would say blasting out.

So I still fell a bit like I am fumbling about?

I have also poked some brushcutter cord in to see how far it will travel and at best manage 15cm before it hits what feels to be a dead end but is likely a sharp turn and cannot negotiate?

I also put the car in 5th gear and moved the car so as to turn the engine a bit and am not sure if this helps or makes a difference.

I have to go off to run some errands and will be near Nissan to order a new oil cooler gasket and O'rings.

[mudski]

I think I have an oil cooler from the black top in my garage your welcome to try. If its the same as yours. ..

[Bloodyaussie]

I have been past JPC again and had a look at an engine block and from what I can figure the oil feed from the turbo comes from the oil pump and the feed for the alternator comes from the oil filter/cooler housing.

Is there a product or can I use diesel to flush out the engine???

Just wondering also what the oil pump set up is like????

I guess I am going to become an expert at this shit also.

[Dales300exc]

The oil pump is just a gear driven pump that drives off the timing gears. What would you like to know?

[Bloodyaussie]

The oil pump is just a gear driven pump that drives off the timing gears. What would you like to know?

I dont think it has anything to do with my problem I just wanted to see what they look like and I did.

I have dropped the oil and have been trying to flush out the oil galleries but am not 100% sure of what I am doing.

I've stayed away from it for a few days and will slowly start back at it again soon.

[Parksy]

Can use diesel to flush the engine, but easier to just use one of the over the counter products. Run the engine with the old oil to warm it up, then drain. Chuck some cheap oil in along with the flush additive and idle the engine for 20-30 mins. Don't drive it or put any load on the engine. Drain again and replace the filter and fill with good oil. You will be surprised how dirty the 30min old oil will come out if it's never been flushed before.

Been told to be wary of this method??

I asked before if anyone had experience with this stuff but got no reply.

I've heard this also, but if the engine is relying on gum and varnish to seal it, it really needs a rebuild. I did this on my 400000km patrol and its fine.

Yeh not a great deal to do with the oil pump. If you have oil one side and not the other the oil pump itself is working just fine.

Seals wil only show weakness if they are already worn. Its like the age old "synthetic oil made my seals leak". It never does, its just the molecules are smaller and more of and as such get through smaller weaknesses in a seal that mineral oil wouldn't.

Flushes (I have never used) I imagine would be a cocktail of chemicals that as a result make a much thinner oil making passing old already tired seals easier.

After some persistence and and back filling the alternator oil gallery we have got some oil flow... since the oil change it has begun to flow so decided to take a punt.

The turbo is fed from the other side.

I will explain in detail soon but so much on at the moment... really really broke so need to try and work out when I can get the car into JPC to get tuned but so far the pyros are good and on par with others figures.

I have to go and get a T-piece for the boost gauge today so I can get an idea of where the boost is sitting.

I have another hunting trip and will take my car so will report back after that.

Benny and Matty thanks for your thoughts and help to guys..

Oh and to all those that wished me well (On face ache) thank you very much !!!

[mudnut]

That thing sounds sounds awesome, Jonathan. Glad you got the oil feed problems licked.

[Hodge]

Happy for ya mate. Will be good to see that car drive around here again! Now let's get a day trip going to test it!

[matfew]

oh it will get a test this weekend don't worry haha.

[Bloodyaussie]

Monday its booked into jpc... see what its like after they have fiddled with it.

As for a drive I am trying to work out a day but it is a crazy time of year. .

[nissannewby]

100hp any less and something is up.

[Rossco]

Thats awsome Jono bloody glad to hear it's go'n good! Time to enjoy . . . :)

Ok kids here is the latest...

On Saturday I drove up past Seymour to go shooting and there was a mix of highway and tight winding roads up some steep hills.

The pyro's the whole way were within except-able ranges but a a bit on the higher side compared to Matt's car and I was down on power.

On Sunday morning George showed me how to increase the boost and after some adjustment we traveled to the top of a hill on the property to get phone reception and test the boost.. before I was lucky to get 4 pounds but after it was showing 9 which I was told on the gauge I was borrowing was more like 7.5 but did feel better and the pyro's were a touch lower.

Today was the day as far as tuning went and the car went off to JPC and at 5.30pm I picked the car up to be told that before the tune I was getting 65kws and after they played with it I am now getting 88kws and it feels like a whole new car.... so bloody happy.

I have been told to finish off the bonnet scoop asap as my intercooler is like a heat soak.

The turbo funny enough turns out to be too big... this is not an issue but means the turbo takes a touch longer to spool up.

JPC did not give me a hard time about buying a Chinese turbo and Mark understands my situation.

Funny as I was eyeing off what turned out to be an even larger turbo but George talked me out of it... which was lucky.

Got a bunch a little and medium size jobs to do but nothing that will stop me driving my car from here on in.

I look forward to getting back out onto the tracks as it has been about a long time... I think it was May at Toolangi but someone else might correct me on that, either way it has been a very long time.

Thanks again to George for all his help.

[lucus30]

Awesome stuff mate. Truly wrapped for you and glad you made it through without buying a jeep. Can't wait to see this thing!!!! I believe you have a day trip to organise now any way don't you?

[Bloodyaussie]

Cheers Lucus.... I think the only day trip I could arrange would be the 13th or 14th of December... even then its stretching it.

I would really like to do a test before heading away but just dont seem to have enough time.

[Ben-e-boy]

Thats about 120rwhp, thats what I had back in the day @ 13psi unintercooled i'd be happy with that.

I also had 65rwkw NA. :p. Right..... so when will we see 200kw?

What size is the turbo?

[Sir Roofy]

Glad your finally mobile hope your proud of what you have achieved
and from now on enjoy being with the big boys
