Hi,

Anyone got a set of 35" tyres in the shed that they want rid of, MTZ's, BFG KM1/2 - or preferably a more extreme terrain eg...Simex Centipede or similar.
Want the Mud terrains on a 16" rim but extremes could be on a 15" rim.

Thanks
Rokkitt

My brother Redman (Adam) has no computer access at the moment. So because I am such a nice bro I am doing this post. Does any one have or know of a long range tank and a winch bar for sale? He has an 89 Mav/GQ wagon.

He is a slack cheap mongrel he earns more than me and the missus put together and he wants it as cheap as possible.

[boggy2006]

I think they are quite popular in the UK, they have the deepest tread I've ever seen and are very heavy (hence I think very thick carcass). Extremely noisy on road so I would recommend as a second set, but I expect they would be as good as you can get for mud/loose soil for the price. They have huge lugs that stick out the sides. I don't know how good retreading tyres is these days, but I expect the glue is pretty strong! Just a retread copy of the Simexs I think.

Just to hijack another thread - and this is true as I have photos somewhere to prove it - must drag them out!!

Years ago I owned four acres and needed a ride on. Walked into the mower centre at Brendale and started looking around ... they were all very 'pretty' looking and then I saw it, the perfect ride on .. it was a McCullogh, it was bright yellow and ugly as a hatful of arseholes ... I fell in love straight away and as it turned out, it was one of very few with a steel housing/hood - this was very important to me. You see, I had seen the yard done (about 1.5 acres of grassed area to be mown) by Jims mowing when I first moved in, and it took them about 2 hours to do - I figured that was a 'casual 6 pack' of time and subsequently, I needed to be able to carry 6 beers (and keep them cold!!!) whilst I mowed. Now I'm not the best stick welder on the planet, but hey, its a mower! So literally within the hour of my new yellow pride and joy being delivered I proceeded to knock up an open top steel frame that would comfortably hold a 6 pack and half a bag of ice, and strong enough to withstand the movement and vibration, so used a 20mm square tube as a stem (like a letterbox). Made a mount that locked into the hood on both sides of the base, as the hood metal was too thin to weld and not strong enough to support the weight. It gets better!! I then figured the beer would get 'frothed' up from the vibration so I thought this through for a while ... Hmmmm ... What to do ... DING (lightbulb coming on!! LOL), I've got it!!!! I welded another flat plate onto the top of the stem and rather than put the actual container on the stem direct, I drilled holes in the bottom of it to let it drain, and 6 holes around the perimeter to put 75x6mm screws through with butterfly nuts on the bottom ... in between the plate and the actual container I glued in (to the plate on the stem) 6 squash balls to act as suspension, and then sat the container on top and put the screws through and locked it in place with the butterfly nuts till the tension was just right. VOILA!!!! A self draining, cushioned 6 pack holder mounted to my little yellow pride and joy!!!

It still gets better - when I moved and sold the mower, the guy buying it asked me what it was for, so I took him through the story and gave him a live demo (a fee beers and ice!!) whilst we pondered all things 'ride on'!!! He asked did it come with the mower and I said for an extra carton it would - he proceeded to get in his truck (a cruiser - little wonder he was easy to use Jedi mind tricks on!! LOL) and go back down to the bottle shop and buy me a carton!!!

Ahhh, those were the days ... no yard before nor since has ever looked so good as I was constantly on the McCullogh mowing the lawn just so I could avoid conversation, be on the move, and have a beer, all whilst being perceived by the missus to be working hard and keeping the place looking good!!!! LOL

I miss that mower ....

Different sizes as well
Not sure if they will bolt up the same,but for 20 odd $$$ why bother

[MudRunnerTD]

Heads up!!

I bought a heap of cheap NISSAN circle badges for the GQ when i was done rebuilding it. The 1 i put on the bonnet at the front facing up has gone from a nice sparkling chrome badge to fully WHITE in 4 months.

They looked great coming out of the bag but obviously not UV stable???? Go figure? I would not waste my cash on them again, go the genuine or go to a wrecker and see what you can find.

DO NOT BUY THE CHEAP EBAY NISSAN BADGES!.

G'day,

Im trying to find a GQ Patrol around the early-mid 90's for Under 10k. I have really only just started looking around Perth 2nd hand dealers and have found the usual, a huge variation with some crazy expensive and crazy cheap prices mostly.

If anyone is selling in the Perth area in that price range i would be very keen for some details. Also might pay a little more if the right mods have been done.

Preferably after an Auto 3.0 Diesel Turbo stock.

Cheers,

George New ( bungel@gmail.com )

posted this in electrical but prob better suited to here

but her wicked stepmotherinlaw owner never gave her the right to vacum advancement
or even an air/fuel ratio screw

then sold her to us! as a Work horse float truck
she coughed and farted ,blew the airs filter to bits several times till i figured how to richen the mix
that I'll tell you is a bit of a trick!
now her little ECU is feeling quite lonley down by the passangers feet
the throttle positioner is mute, the vacum sensor is sensless the injectors wont listen , no petrol to be hot ,cold ,pressuried or what!
only the the cranky angle sender is going round and round making her dizzy and forgetfull,
not remembering to msg da coil to shoot the sparks out
right when the timing is dead at the center of the top

a modern motoring fairy tail just for u
based on a true story of ER da GQ
if any one knows where i can get
a real set of points

3.0 turbo diesel did not come out untill 2000 (GU).
GQ had 2.8 turbo diesel but manual gearbox only. Very few 4.2 diesel autos were sold new in Australia and none were turbo.

Hi Bungel,

You may have to do what I did and look fior a vehicle that is in need of repair that the owner isnt willing to pay to have done.

I bought my 1997 GQ for $6000.00 and it had a cracked head. I spent $3800.00 rebuilding the topend of the motor and now have a great car that we have a lot of fun in.

I still have to do a few things to it like new tyres, bushes, ball joints and fix the winch but that will come in time.

Cheers,

Rob

[MQ MAD]

Ya wont get a late model GQ thats well looked after with low Ks for 10K
You will pay more, unless it needs work
3.0 auto GQ , as mentioned didnt happen

[boggy2006]

I don't really know whether I paid a good price or not, see lots of people paying less, but I paid $9000 for a '92 GQ, auto, 260k, 4.2efi with lpg from a dealer. It was bog standard, no signs of off-roading and reasonable service history. But I think the auto is on its way out (seemed fine when i got it). Had a few niggly things to fix (constantly on going!).

[Bungel]

Shows how little i know about these vehicles. haha. Just want to get something standard and spend a few extra $$'s getting it mechanically up to scratch if needed.

Yeh, i looked at a diesel turbo, must have been a 2.8ltr a few weeks back. Was duel fuel too, engine bay looked very well cleaned up but was little crap on the outside. $6250. Would have been happy spending a few K getting it up to scratch if it wasnt mechanically sound.
Also looking at a current 4.2ltr petrol model similar to what you have Boggy, 290kms but not duel fuel. Its looks in great nick, inside and out. But has a bit of trouble starting up, took about 8 cranks to get her going. Something about the fuel draining away while sitting around. hmmm??? wanting 10k for it.

No service history sadly.

Got plenty of time to view all this stuff online, but hardly anytime to actually go see the vehicles which makes it difficult. Annoying part of working away.

[MQ MAD]

Payed near 12K for my 1997 GQ TB42E/auto
Under 200K on clock, full service history from new 1 elderly couple from new (yep for real)

Spent tooo long looking at rubbish
So maybe i paid too much,but condition Vs Ks, Vs all the other rubbish
Not think so

Dont be fooled by the duel fuel jargon
Buy the absolute best you can find then get LPG fitted (still the government rebate of $1500 towards fitment)
Pick the engine/gearbox combo you want
Then stick to that,or youll only be dissapointed

[rkinsey]

Just keep looking Bungel. I spent the best part of 8 months searching the web.

If you arent sure of a vehicle then let it pass. There will be others.

That first one doesn't make sense cobber... are you sure it wasn't an RB30 petrol motor if it was dual fuel... that doesn't explain the Turbo tho?

If that second one is an EFI and it is hard to start... put your wallet in your pocket and run away.

Patience is the key, there are some very nice EFI Petrols come up for around 7 to 8K's. (My old one sold for that range and it had 2 inch lift, Auto Locker etc straight as a gun with zero rust and LPG)

[the evil twin]

Should have added... early 90's is when the new series came out... different shift setup in the Auto's and the 4.2's went to EFI in the Petrols.

If you get a 4.2 Petty Auto make sure it is a Series 2 with EFI and the upgraded Auto and I wouldn't pay more than 8K for a 94 to maybe 9 something for a really nice 97 with low K's depending on extra's. You will find a stack of Series 2's made in 94 and 97 as they imported a few big batches in those MY's and very few 95 or 96... nothing wrong with them just the way the import years worked out

[Bungel]

Cheers guys.

Yeh, recon its pretty poor form not to have any service history. I will keep at it, as i do have time on my side.

Thanks Rob, been scanning most of those sites for the last month.. but there are few more i hadnt checked. Nice :)

[Bungel]

yeh, that doesnt sound right does it. Was definatly a duel fuel. so must not have had the turbo. .

thanks very much for the info, i really am looking for any guidence i can get. Will keep all this in mind and hopefully info like that can help narrow the search down for me.

Cheer Mr Evil Twin. :)

[AB]

As already mentioned just don't rush into anything and make sure you are 100% with the purchase.

If your gut feeling says otherwise then trust your instincts.

I spent over 6 months finding my GQ and was very close to buying about 2 other GQ's (which were no where near as good as the one I found) prior to finding the perfect one!!!

Patience is the key mate and just keep asking any questions if you need help or unsure if It's the right one.

[MQ MAD]

Just a wee tip 4 ya Bungel,
Ebay can certainly be used to your advantage when looking
(Due to my distance from the burbs, i couldnt really afford to travel hours and hours on wild goose chases
Tho i did in the end)

Every time you see something of interest save it in your watch and see what it goes for
Even when the add is all finished leave it there for a good few weeks then see IF it gets relisted
Those that sell gives you a market price of what they sell for,those that dont sell maybe follow threw to the seller and see why

But getting a good GQ is getting real hard, good ones priced well dont last even a day
They are in high demand
Make sure you are cashed ready to pounce on the right one
You snooze you loose

As ET mentions the late end GQ TB42e /auto are the pick
Dont be overly fussed on service history,its no the be all and end all on a 20 odd year old rig

Hi, I've skimmed over the many posts here and I am finding it hard to find information on aftermarket recovery points for my GU. I know that Outback ideas made points, but don't seem to be making them anymore.

Does anyone know where I can get some good quality points for my truck?

[AB]

Cheers mate, as mentioned in the PM. My mate has a friend from work and she has just purchased a Tojo and it came with 5 x 35" BF Muddies with over 50% tread left and she only wants $300-$400 for the whole set of 5 including good rims....I just can't say no to that...lol...Going to check them out this week.

[YNOT]

This thread has some good info on recovery points; http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?2023-recovery-points&highlight=recovery+points

Try places like BBM motorsports, ARB, Superior engineering.

Tony

[molongmick]

I read this thread last night. I went to OL in Orange today, they could not help, suggested that I go to an engineering place, which I did, but they wanted $200 a side. Not paying that, $400 total.

OL had some Outback Idea points but they did not fit properly as they wedged themelves at an angle between the air deflector under the bull bar and chasis rail.

Went to ARB, they had a smiliar one, which they copied and made themselves and did exactly the same thing.

I even looked at the landcruier points but they were too wide and did not line up with the holes and rubbed up against the mounting braket for the bar.

This is my problem. I've looked and tried and now confused, what to do?

[YNOT]

All you can do is keep trying recovery points from different manufactures until you find some that fit properly.
Are you able to take a photo of your car to show the air deflector and chassis rail? Is it possible to trim the air deflector a bit to allow the points to fit properly?

Tony

[Woof]

Hey Mick, before I upgraded my 2007 GU to my current 1990 GQ, I purchasedt some recovery points from Mandurah ARB and they were great.
Try your local ARB shop and if they do not stock them let me know and I will find out the manufacturer for you mate.

[molongmick]

I thought of trimming the deflector, and that's probably what I'll need to do. OL have two points ready to fit, but the chasis rail only has one set of captive nuts on the inner right hand side of the car, the left hand side does not have captive nuts, but holes are in the correct position.

I will try to get some pics up tomorrow arvo of the holes on the chasis rail.

Attached is a picture of the type of plate that OL is selling, the three triangular holes at the top line up with the three holes on the side of the chasis rail.

The large oval shaped hole is parallel to the ground, the point leans to the front of the patrol.

I will probably go with these, but just wanted other options as I'm not keen on cutting things up under the car.

Hope this clears things up.

[Woof]

Mick when I fitted mine, similar to those I just remembered that I had to use the angle grinder to cut a section out of both sides of the front skid pan/protector, just letting you know mate before you purchase them check it out.

[nowoolies]

take a look at mine on my pic`s much better than those flat plates, they are blo%dy hard to fit
the ones i have bolt straight in existing holes no modification at all

4.2 diesel uses the same extractors as 4.2 (and 4.5 I think) petrol, so not as rare as you might think.

Got the recovery point on yesterday. Three Super Hi-Tensile bolts and plate for $70, thought that was okay.

Took a bit of effort to get one of the bolts in, all three are now super tight and ready to go.

[hekarewe]

if you go to ARB they have recovery points for GU's from $90.00 each plus fitting had mine fitted at penrith ARB late last year

[the ferret]

What I want to know, is why does it cost $90 for a piece of 10mm plate with a few holes in it, even 12mm plate , plus 3 hi-tensile bolts.
I could easily make a similar plate, even thicker and out of bizoloy for probably $10 max in material cost, plus say $15 worth of bolts and washers.
Are these "bought" ones tested and stamped with a load rating?
No, I don't make them, and not trying to drum up work, but I tell ya what, I'm thinking of it!!

Go for it ferret - I'll take two fronts mounts thanks!! I agree mate - seems a lot of coin for some smallish pieces of metal - and for that money, they'd want to have a load rating stamped on them!!

[molongmick]

I priced around looking for recovery points, ARB were selling ones similiar to what I bought for $110. Went to a metal fabricator who quoted $200 to make a similar plate, the one I bought was from outback ideas and cost $55, So I thought it was a good deal.

NO they don't have any stamps, but was told by both ARB and OL that they would easily hold 10T. Outback ideas appear to be the main manufacturer of these plates. The metal fabricator that I had a chat with said that they would hold well over 10000kg, but he wanted $200 for each point.

Sorry Bigrig, can't help you atm, I would need quite a few orders to be able to organise the laser cutter to cut a heap and be able to offer them at a fair price.
If there is a fair bit of interest, I would have a hundred cut at a time.

I hear you boss and not having a shot, but what they "tell you" won't stand up in court! They need to be load rated and stamped.

[YNOT]

I hear you boss and not having a shot, but what they "tell you" won't stand up in court! They need to be load rated and stamped.

I don't think any of the aftermarket recovery points are load rated as Mick has found so far, so it's just a matter of installing the strongest and safest recovery points available so they are not the weak link in a recovery. If it can't be made legal at least make safe.

Tony

[molongmick]

The only rated recovery/tow hook found was at Supercheap, 4.5t and cost $30.00, plus I would have to drill holes in chasis to fit. Was only held on by two bolts and had a retainer clip to hold your recovery equipment in place. I was not keen on this idea, especially if the trol is belly deep in mud, that type of point just wont cut it.

[YNOT]

I think you will find most of the aftermarket recovery points are drilled to accept the the type of rated hooks you saw at Superthief.

ferrit i think you just answered your own question here,,,,, yes the ARB prices are a bit exiey but,,,,,, take in costs of matterials labour hire product testing which they would have to do to be able to sell it over here in aust then add on you frieght GST and %for shop hire and sales margin and that orignal $10.00 bit of metal aint so cheap. most importantly though if that recovery point fails,,,,,, i have a direct come back on ARB who both supplied and fitted it for me, so if some one gets injured and they try and sue me for damages (which is becoming more and more common here ) i can just pass the buck and bill back to ARB gives me a nice warm fussy feeling of security. this why i dont mind paying the extra i cant afford to have all the extras fitted to my truck by professsionals.

[the ferret]

Yep, not to worry, I'll be checking out the legal side of things before putting my head on the block.
I have been in engineering for a lifetime and have a pretty good idea of costs, I just don't like to see anyone ripped off for something that may save a life, by the same token, I would not like to be responsible for any lost lives.
I will certainly be looking into it. Rod.

[my third 256]

i have just had a look at my underneath and the recovery point brackets needed for myo8 is the L shaped ones because on the passanger side there is no nuts inside the side of the rail only on the bottom so its the Ls i need
the drivers side has nuts inside on the bottom and side go figure
stephen

[Bigrig]

Well, I'm going to bite the bullet, get rid of the standard front hook and get two new recovery points. Will see what Relands 4WD charge for them ...

I'm still on the hunt so thanks Duane and I visit your way a lot. Mum and dad are down at Sorrento but I have made a decision not to borrow things off people anymore.

Appreciate the offer though mate!

G'day am looking for a used cargo barrier for my 1998 GU TI Patrol.

If anyone can help that would be great

am located Cranbourne VICTORIA and am happy to drive abit to get it

[katwoman]

Hi heidii, the guys here generaly like you to post an introduction before buying/selling. Just a little about you and your rig.
Other than that they are a great help, you will get alot out of it if you stick around. Just yell if you need help, someone will assist.
Cheers Kat

[TheFlyingBadger]

but, just FYI - I paid $50 for my cargo barrier s/hand - as new condition. also worth noting that you *usually* don't get the fixing kit when you buy second hand, they are about $150 to buy.

[my third 256]

Yesss, a tall one!! Anyone? Or a basket that mounts to standard rhino roof racks, because they do xtra high ones..

[Silver]

I'd go to my trusty auto leccie. Or buy one on line. So, can't help unfortunately as don't have a spare. Are you certain it is the starter and not dodgy electrical connections? Always worth a check and clean before spending the big bucks.

My Grandparents used to live in Tinonee. I like the Manning :-)

Giving the starter a small tap usually means that its about out of brushes on the armature..
Not sure on the price of a new one however they can sometimes be rebuilt for a lot less than a new one..
Maybe something to consider?

Agree If the brushes are serviceable externally it is a very simple task to replace ive done em on old Ford 302 windsor motors i think they were lucas starters would pay to check it out

You are on the money mate, the old Lucas and Bosch starters were brilliant and very cheap to repair lol..
Definitely worth looking into a rebuild for the troll though

What breed are the starters on the troll td42

[big_fletch]

Not 100% but I think some were Bosch, might check it out tommorrow and have a look see I thinks

tap solution often = dodgy solenoid. You can by pass the solenoid in a range of ways, including suitable electrical cable and momentary on switch in cabin

[big_fletch]

That is sometimes true, however majority of the time the starter is out of brushes.. If you had a test light or set of multimeters on the output of the solenoid you would most likely find there is power coming out, however because the brushes are worn in the starter there would be a bad connection to the armature. Therefore the solenoid would click out however starter would not spin.. Giving the starter a tap moves the brushes ever so slightly and sometimes creates a good enough connection to spin the armature..
The best option is to remove the starter and take to a auto-sparky to be diss-assembled and tested for the best course of action

[trollman]

Hitachi.

Found one at recycle centre for $5.00. After purchasing a brand new one.

rebuild can cost around $400

Ensure a reputable re-issue. +$750.00.

agreed, however if the solenoid is by-passed, without a tap (gotta love percussive maintenance :-) ) and the starter spins, to me that points to the solenoid.

By-passing the solenoid can somtimes be done with a big screwdriver you don't care too much about as sparks will be produced - in by passing, looking to momentarily connect the fat positive wire that goes into the solenoid to the fat wire that leaves the solenoid and goes to the starter. Either way, some time on the spanners will be required down the track. What I was looking for was a possible solution that would get Ga200 back on the road over Easter :-) Of course, if it is a manual, use the family starter motor and or convenient hills :-)

did you buy it? :-)

[HippoNZ]

I had the luck of the brushes going and the solenoid going at the same time. Had to buy a new one. Had the option of going for a brand spanking new one for $1500 large ones or $800 for a rebuilt one. I choose the rebuild option as for me it wasn't justified getting a new one as my point was proven when I got stuck in a deep river and have half shagged the new starter already only a month down the track lol

[trollman]

Yeah, bought some other junk at the same time. Wasn't going to leave the starter there. So really, other junk + starter was $5.

Love the recycle centre!

P.s I am referring to TD42, mis-read your post being petrol 4.2.

[Silver]

there are quite a few listed for sale on line, some name brands, some not.

Good work, Trollman!

[trollman]

I want share the advice given to me;
The auto leccy I spoke with drives TD42 GQ.
He had starter motor issues and said he purchased a brand new cheapy $550.
His old one beyond worthyness as far as rebuild.
But he regrets purchasing a cheap new one as only six months later was showing signs of poor performance.
He said knowing what is now, he would have shelled out for the 'better quality' ($1000++) as he intends to keep his GQ.

He managed to get the reputable quality for me at $750 + GST; this is the quality brand item he would purchase now that he knows better. Same design/die cut as Nissan. But no longer manufactured by Nissan.

[qldtrucker]

Due to an unfortunate incident with a certain red MK Patrol i am now looking for a replacement standard rear bar (as per first photo) for my GU3 Patrol. I need both sides (in good condition) as they have both seen better days.
A standard one piece rear bar (second photo) from a GU4 onwards would also be OK.

My side steps have also seen better days so let me know if you have a set in good condition.

Due to an unfortunate incident with a certain red MK Patrol which is in for front end repairs,i am now looking for a replacement right guard for a MQ/Mk Patrol. I need a red one(in good condition) as it's been waiting 12 days.

Do you want all 5? And how long can you wait? I'm fitting new wheels and rubber to mine in the coming month or so, and someone else wants the tyres, so you are welcome to the rims, but I would want to offload all 5 unfortunately.

PM me if interested.
