Roofy needs our help ..... Can the forum come to the rescue !!!!

[Bloodyaussie]

Roofy needs our help whether he likes it or not.... his car has decided to grenade itself and Roofy is in no position at this stage to fix it being a pensioner.

He has just had to put off 2 years of planning to go on a trip along the Madigan line.... I would be guttered.

I am asking those that can help out a senior member who has been on the forum for as many years as it has been running and turned up to nearly every event.

It has been 15 months since the forum helped me and I feel Roofy deserves help more than I do.

So if you can chip in some cash to put towards what ever is decided on and get Roofy back on the road..

Ab has a bank account that can be used for donations and if you PM me I will send them through.

Please guys those that can help with a person who truly deserves it.

[Maxhead]

Let us know some details when it comes through Jonno. Great idea mate!

[Winnie]

I am 100% behind this. As said by Jonathan, there are not many trips or meets that the man in the hat has not been to!
I will do whatever I can to help Roofy.

[Irish]

Roofy's a good egg, happy to chip in what I can.

[lhurley]

Chuck up the details. I'll throw in what I can

[katwoman]

You don't even need to ask.
As much as I dislike the 3L he has put a lot of work into the 'beast'.

[TPC]

I will chip in what I can, unfortunately cannot be much at this time.

[rusty_nail]

yep put my name down, ill do what ever i can to help =D

[Bloodyaussie]

Good stuff guys... Mudski is thinking of doing a raffle for some of those LED spotlights and donate the proceeds to Roofy.

[Bob]

I am just off a phone call from my old mate Roofy and as you can imagine he is absolutely devastated and is very appreciative of the offers of help.
Roofy however is a very proud man and is finding it hard to accept the help offered but at the same time needs our help to get back on the Road as he and Jane live for their 4WD trips. Lorraine and I will be donating what we can afford and also any other help.

[Winnie]

Good stuff guys... Mudski is thinking of doing a raffle for some of those LED spotlights and donate the proceeds to Roofy.

Awesome idea Mudski.
I will be in for a ticket.

[mudski]

If someone can assist me in how to do a Raffle online it would be great, as I have NFI on how this would work.

[threedogs]

Not to be a spoilfun but would you need a permit

[TPC]

Not to be a spoilfun but would you need a permit

No, you call it donations rather than cost of ticket.

[taslucas]

Sorry to hear roofy! Ill see what I can do and yep I'll be up for a ticket if you can work it out mudski

>>>tappin from tassie

[Rossco]

Good work Jono, champion. I know it might be hard to accept help and generosity but don't think you have a choice with this one roofy! ! ☺, we'll get the beast going again. Happy to chuck in. . .

[mudski]

[growler2058]

Im in for a ticket or 2

[mudnut]

PM sent BA, Contact me please. NONE of you buggers answer your phone! And BA I only have your old number. Are you all trying to tell me something? LOL

I have found a ZD30: Rebuilt 40000ks ago only swapped out for a TD42. We are getting a massive discount. A once off for roofy.

[mudnutette]

Well I'm happy to pitch in a little now that I finally have a job lol. When Mudski gets the raffle up and running count me in for a ticket :)

Yep I'm in. Let us know some details and I'll send some money.

[BigRAWesty]

@midski
I'd set it up like a lucky squares page..
You all pay for a number and then the numbers are thrown into a hat and drawn out.

I'll pm you as I may have a prize to donate aswell..

[MudRunnerTD]

Bugger it Roofy and Jane. Such a crappy deal. I am happy to help with something when it's sorted. Crowd funding another motor is your best bet mate. As others have said you have been a Pillar of the place for so long mate, don't let your Pride get in the way bud, people will help you however they can, big and small, every little bit will help. Money is tight in my house but happy to help with something mate.

[Bloodyaussie]

Ok I have just got home and had heaps of messages and calls so need to sort some stuff out.

First is AB is having a %$# of a day so was not able to get back to me sooner... we are confirmed with his bank account which I have the details so either pm or text me and I will send them through to you.

Now also need to know some more about this engine so will look into that and see what the go is and also where how when in which we do this and and who can help.

Now this deal if is as good as I am told will be a great help but we will need oil filters and other perishables plus it may need to go into a shop to be fettled with.

So please message me so I can get started with this all.. Thursday and Friday I will be in a training course so out of action these days.

[Winnie]

Is Roofy happy to go ahead with this motor if it checks out?

[Bloodyaussie]

Is Roofy happy to go ahead with this motor if it checks out?

I was going to find out the details first before having discussion with roofy as it is all unknown right now and no point talking about something we know nothing about.

[mudnut]

I spoke with roofy, earlier, regarding the engine, and he is happy to go with what we decide. I still want to talk with Andy, before I confirm with the supplier, as I don't want to step on any toes.

[Bob]

Can someone with the expertise give an estimate of costs in addition to the Motor.

[mudnut]

Clutch kit , maybe. Fluids gaskets, tune, rear engine seal and welsh plugs. Is all I can think atm . He has the fuel pump and all the hoses etc on the vehicle

[Bloodyaussie]

I have been on the phone with the supplier of the engine and they have given me a number of options but do not want to do anything until all options are on the table with an idea of costs and positives and negatives.

Also waiting till i talk to more tech savvy members in regards to options.

We just need to raid Rossco's joint when he's not home and take something of his....
O.h wait! He's not home now. Hmmmm

[Stropp]

im in send me details

[Bloodyaussie]

Just please note that I am not the decision maker with this whole process and am far from the expert when it comes to zd30's or if a TD conversion is at all viable.

I am just putting the case forward and instigating what is needed to get the ball rolling.

There is no super rush so we need not make hasty decisions.

I was made another offer on top of the current offer .....

This is the offer so far from a 4x4 wreckers (will name them soon)

A ZD30 with a rebuild about 40,000km ago (cannot confirm parts used) for $1000 there is a turn key warranty only.

Then there is a ZD30 that was the owners son inlaws and they know more history and will do it for $1750 still only a turn key warranty.

Now I have not looked into any other options being rebuild or TD conversion or 2nd hand engines from elsewhere.

$3500 was raised when I went through hell 15 months ago and can only use that as some sort of gauge.?

I have not spoken to more tech savvy as yet as I have been flat out and have a school music thing on tonight so still wont get a chance.

Now there are the facts at this stage to be seen by all.

F$#k its hot.

[lucus30]

Yup you know I'm in.

[AB]

Sorry gents crazy day today and it's not over.

I believe BA has my details and is using my account, no probs.

Every time my wife tells me I'm to old for this 4WDing I tell her Roofy is older than I am and goes to way more places than I do. He's my role model and a good bloke too.

[Bloodyaussie]

Not sure if a separate discussion about options should be started?

[Maxhead]

Should we bury this thread and just leave the one Mudski has???? Just a thought to keep it clean and tidy????

[Rock Trol]

I'll chip in if you send me the details.

[Bloodyaussie]

I'll chip in if you send me the details.

Cheers pm sent.

[macca]

I already knew about old mate Roofy's troubles, Please send me the bank details too, I'll dig up the poly pipe in the back yard and see whats in it.

Also Roofy and Jane it seems the shirtmob made a stuff up and yours were free.

Lets get that machine of your hummin again.

Another option to think of. StevO is onto a cheap 4.2 GU wagon.

I would love to see some discussion as what to actually do about all of this??

[Clunk]

Guess that would depend on how much can be raised as to what can be done

[mudnut]

If we did get the GU we could auction off the bits we don't use to recoup the cost.

[nissannewby]

It would want to be bloody cheap.... whats the go?

Replace the engine.

There are a couple of you guys who know what issues arise with conversions and the cost and stress involved.

A whole vehicle swap is also a lot of work.

The most efficient and cost effective would be a straight engine swap.

[katwoman]

If we did get the GU we could auction off the bits we don't use to recoup the cost.

This is what we were thinking. A grenaded GU probably isn't worth much but would go along way. I know that the forum wouldn't cover the complete cost, maybe a quarter ? Haven't chased it as yet. It's not on the market yet, but will be soon. Spoke to the man in the hat today and it's a maybe ? Is it worth chasing ? Personally if he replaces the 3 L you can't really guarantee it won't happen again. You know what I mean ?
Stevo will chase it up if needed.

[Bob]

It would want to be bloody cheap.... whats the go?

I would love to see some discussion as what to actually do about all of this??

It is fairly early in the fund raiser and I would suggest this time next week we will have a better idea of the amount raised.

I suggest that anyone with ideas PM Jonathon (Bloodyaussie) with their suggestion and he can collate them and present to a Task Force comprising :-

Bloodyausie
Roofy
Member with Mechanical Expertise
Member with Organisational skills
Andy if he has the time
and anyone else that maybe needed.

Personally this is what i am for... thanks to mudnut we have a good deal offered to us and would be a straight engine change over which can be done in a weekend.

Also costs... i do not see the funds for and engine conversion as i know what to expect money wise from donations.

I have a new job starting next week and i am hoping to buy a house on the weekend plus getting this place ready to sell... i also have a big trip coming up on the 12th so my plate is pretty full for a few weeks.

I believe the raffle will have a lot more then my donation account given so let's give it time.

Happy days folks, let's sort him out!

That's what this base is for mate..
To assist in the time of need..

[Irish]

+1 for a like for like engine swap as Nissannewby said. Simplest option IMO.

Straight bolt up, no dicking around, NADS kit and he's back on the road in a weekend.

[Winnie]

Personally this is what i am for... thanks to mudnut we have a good deal offered to us and would be a straight engine change over which can be done in a weekend.

I would be a little worried about that engine if it does not come with any form of warranty whatsoever.
In saying that though if it has been rebuilt very recently it should be okay... hmmmm....

[Bob]

Providing that Roofy is in agreement I would go for the straight Engine Swap.
Roofy gets to keep all his gear and the mean green machine
Added bonus would be a weekend of fellowship during the swap over.

Yeah i agree. All up to roofy i guess but the beast gets to live again and will be quickest and easiest seeing as there's no extreme rush but needs to be sorted reasonably quickly.

Would love 2 help Roofy and Jane out with a donation but with a $1100 legal bill coming up, 2 Rego's, Land Rates and me being unemployed for near on 4 months money is tighter than a nuns private area :(

what size is a large sticker will it cover the side window as in block out
like those silver ones you see in some trucks

[Sir Roofy]

Ok folks Ladys & Gents apart from the motor what do I need to do what are you going to bring WEare supplying the barby and tucker
ive got a large tarp to erect over the work area in case it gets wet will chase up an A frame block and tackle or maybe a fork lift
have 2 gazebos one for the barby one maybe for the front of the truck
an idea on numbers if you are able to come sorry guys BYO your own drinks Coffee and Tea if desired supplyed

Not sure when this will happen yet but need to get things in perspective

Cheers Roofy & Jane

[Bloodyaussie]

I think we will set a date and all the particulars for what ever is decided soon.

I have asked George to look into engines also but have not had a reply as yet.

What kind of costs are we looking at for rebuilding roofy's engine?

[mudski]

I haven't been to your place mate but have you got the room? Is it an ideal, well sorta, place to do something like this? Just incase the weather turns real shite. Are we better off hiring a trailer and towing it somewhere to a better location? Just trying to keep the options open for ideas.
I suppose a donor needs to be found first, more than anything.

ive got the room but no slab

[Rossco]

I should be able to get my hands on an engine crane if need be. What about the option of a rebuilt (probably exchange) engine and putting it in. Need to be from a reputable supplier tho. Recos can be a bit of a gamble sometimes get teething problems but should have a warranty at least.

I can bring a slab or two. . .

I would like to help out on the day, hopefully it on a weekend that I'm not working.
Also if you guys need someone to do some running around to pick up bits n pieces just yell out. Probably the only benefit of doing shift work.

[Bloodyaussie]

What i am thinking is maybe we get hold of the car and a few of us do the engine swap or rebuild or what ever the case may be then once the car is up and running we have a big meet up to celebrate. ...

Too many distractions when there is a tonne of people around and things can get missed.

Matty please shed some light on what you are thinking. . What is in ferntree gully.

If Roofy is not comfortable with it and if your boss is ok with it I will throw them on my car if it secures them an extra 200 bucks.

Instead of a sticker maybe Andy could do a free vendor thread for them on here for a couple of years, reckon it would get more publicity on the net then a sticker on the a side of a car

[Bloodyaussie]

Not a bad idea Todd.... worth further discussion at least.

[nissannewby]

I think lucus30 is..?

Why...

There is a nissan dealer there who usually stocks quite a few crate engines. They may be worth a call or drop in to see if they have anything.

A brand new engine will come with warranty plus you avoid some of the issues that can be had with a rebuild.

G'day trendsetters,

On a serious note, if we are going to spend between $3000 and $4000 for a motor for Roofy, then i think we need to discount a secondhand engine.

I have located the following motor listed below is situated in Clayton South Victoria, it is a fully reconditioned engine with 12 months warranty, the mob wants $4600 exchange. I think we could contact these folks they might come to the party and let us have the motor for around $3500 or $4000. Plus the motor also comes with a brand new head and 12 months warranty. The blokes business number is 0400 033 377. I think you folks need to contact this chap ASAP to see what deal the bloke might offer.

Yeah think i saw this same ad on flea bay and was thinking something along these lines as an option. I can ring or drop in to lilydale nissan see if the have a price on a crate motor. We get our work navara serviced there and the service is excellent which can be rare for a dealer! Can give ftg a call too.

Now this is a good idea this or another one as its going to be from the members of the forum
if the motor comes with this much warranty it would be acceptable by the members and myself
if there are enough funds in the kitty.Lets see if I can clock up another 282000 ks

[Bloodyaussie]

Paul I have just been on the phone with Matty and talked about our many options... your proposal looks to be a good one but some more research needs to be done Eg: the parts that have been used on these engines and what is in the warranty.. The small print and so on.

I got your message but am racing out the door to go to an auction so will speak later...

[Rossco]

Droped into lilydale nissan and service dept wa closed (they're usually open on sat mornings - o well). . Gave FTG nissan a call, apparently their not doing crate motors at the mo, haven't got any on the shelf and are waiting back from nissan to see what the go will be in the future. They used to cost about 6 and a half.
Maybe a good reco like the previous one would be good way to go. Anyway happy to pick up engine and deliver to roofys or wherever work is to be done when the time comes.

I think that guy in Clayton has been around for a while. Also a 12mth wty is pretty good and if something is going to go wrong, you would think it would be in the first 12 months.
I havent checked the tally yet. Hopefully its getting there...

G'day Bloodyaussie,

Not a problem mate, that's why i stated you need to phone the bloke on (0400) 033 377 and go and check out his business in Clayton South Victoria. If he checks out to be OK, i personally think that this is the way to go, especial with all new parts, new head and also with the 12 months / unlimited km's warranty.

PS, a sweetener could be giving this bloke and his business a 12 month free sponsorship to the NissanPatrol forum that if AB agrees with this proposal, on the condition the bloke gives us the engine for $4,000 cash? at present he is asking $4650.00. Tell him about the cause, we have nothing to lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul

@ Roofy did your Ecu-talk tell you anything i will have recorded an error Id think

[Bloodyaussie]

Mark and i have been talking and would much prefer to hire a trailer and come get the car then the following weekend do the engine swap over with only a few of us there.
This will help with keeping focused and making sure the job is done properly.

I would love it if there was enough money to fly the boys down from qld and help het into it but not sure this would be possible.

Then after the car is up and running we will have a big meet up down roofy's way be it either at an awesome spot in the high country or at someone's house.

I know people want to help but from experience we need only a small group to work on the car then we can party party after.

I hope this would be ok with roofy and others.

Very well, roofy. We'd better get your old manifold off and cleaned, your turbo checked and your injectors cleaned and tested. He doesn't mention injectors, except for new seals.

never looked into it mate wont know till we pull it out but its going to be replaced if needed

If it is a dual mass then you should replace the fly wheel with a solid one and the cost goes up...

Yeah it does sound ok. This is where finding out what the warranty covers needs to be found out. To maintain the 12 month warranty you may have to fit a new turbo or possibly other components.

Can someone local call or visit this business to sus out the finer detail of the warranty terms?

[steve4377]

Maybe someone could set up a Go Fund Me for him. It's at: www.gofundme.com In any case I'm good for fifty bucks. Just let me know the bank details. Good luck Roofy...

Hey mate being in Onslow you would know friends of mine Red and Flick?

[macca]

Just been talking to Roofy, he is so grateful as you all know. And the current tally is looking good to be able to achieve a great result for him and Jane.

A fantastic response to the call that went out. Really quite amazing, I had an inkling you wouldn't leave them on their own. Congratulations.

Had a read through the description of the engine PMC found, certainly reads like a find. If Roofy is happy with all the details about the rebuild and warrantee this could be the way to go by the sounds of it.

He needs as much info as reasonable to make the final decision where, when and how all this is going to pan out and it looks like some of you local members are working hard to get it to him.

Can not imagine how they feels with their pride parked up, help flowing in and waiting for it all to happen. Guessing it can't happen soon enough.

Good on all of you, keep the glass 1/2 full the other 1/2 is gone because it tasted so good!

[Sir Roofy]

It is the mother of all bolts and it beat him lol

[Bob]

[Bloodyaussie]

I still have $1200 in my account.

I still have to cough up some cash and there were a couple of others that said they would chip in who have not as yet.

[Bloodyaussie]

[macca]

I don't know a thing about all these brands, if you believe they are fine and Roofy and Jane say yes then grab it.
If injectors are not fitted wouldn't it be an idea to test the existing before re-installing as the pot 3 unit might not work and caused the fault.
Could be the same for the pump or turbo too. Thinking out loud IYKWIM.
I assume you are in touch with them, and can possibly work out the details between you. Then let the rest of us know the plan.
Your doing well!

Guarantee some fine insults were directed your way pal :)

[threedogs]

Get a dog up ya !!!!!!!!

[threedogs]

He started it lol but point taken.

[Sir Roofy]

Just finished reading about this work shop where this motor is
27 inquirys so far but good reading about the shop %100 feed back
must say something about them

[Rossco]

Also his best price was $4200..
Not too bad on price i reckon. No offence to anyone but wouldn't think he would have been overly sympathetic if you asked for a discount because a 3l had failed. Probably most customers would be in a similar boat. Not bad tho nonetheless. Hopefully it's a good motor, sounds good to a nuffy like me☺. . .

Just say the word roofy...

[Sir Roofy]

Just say the word roofy...

We going to have enough over to get the other componets checked its part of the warranty

Actually he was good to talk to an offered his work shop for free if we wanted to rebuild the engine ourselves. ..

I did not think this was an option as i dont think anyone was qualified to use the tooling... i know i am not.

I had to offer him some forum space to get this discount and still needed to nut out some fine details.

If i had more time up my sleeve i would have pushed our case harder but still think it is a good deal.

Now mudski can get some other prices on other parts needed and start piecing this together.

[Sir Roofy]

We going to have enough over to get the other componets checked its part of the warranty

you didnt answer my question ?

[Winnie]

Yeah good deal on that motor I reckon.
What else do we need to pay for? Do we need to get Roofy's injectors reco'd?

[Irish]

Sounds like a reasonable deal.

If anything small needs to be picked up anywhere between Frankston, Bayswater and bayside let me know(By small I mean something that'll fit on the back seat of a mondeo).


What other stuff needs to be tested?

If we make a list, then get prices for testing and cross off as we go it might help?

[Bloodyaussie]

you didnt answer my question ?

The warranty covers the engine as long as the cooling system, fuel system or turbo are not responsible.

Now as i cannot see your engine or do not know what condition your components are in i could not possibly say what else you need.

Mudski is the man in the know when it comes to the zd30 and what parts might cost so maybe he could tell you more.

I have done what i can with what time and resources i have and is very limited and without looking at your car or having the strip down process happening its all guess work.

[mudski]

The last figure on the Raffle was $4,000 and with Andy's $1,200 Total $5,200. Is this enough ???

Eh!
I have $2142 so far. $940 via EFT and $1202.80 via Paypal.

[Sir Roofy]

thanks mate for that in put

[Bloodyaussie]

Where did 5 grand come from...? ?

So we are not even close.?

[jay see]

With a lot of people offering to do some running around to pick up bits n pieces, would it be easier just to post up what needs to be picked up and from where. Most of us have a fair idea of where people are located and I'm sure that there will always be someone to do it.
It shouldn't have to be the same guys doing everything.

[macca]

Must've been an error with words tickets sold meaning money raised.

All good though folks, if someone can give us a goal $$$ to achieve let's do it!

It's a pretty damn good prize so what is the $$ goal we need?

Let's get that and spread the word!

[mudski]

Yer sorry I forgot to edit that. I was looking at the dollar amount, not the ticket amount written down....

Can we have a total amount posted up from here on... not i have this much in this account and i have this much .

I myself have been confused as to our actual amount raised.

My boss will be putting about $200-$250 dollars and i hope to chuck in another $200.

Now those others that have pledged cash need to step up.

How about you ab...lol

I have another set of lights I am trying to work out how to auction off on my eBay store. But that will just turn to shit, as its just tight arse city there. I don't have a FB account so if someone wants to start something there. They are welcome too and I can post off the lights. As FB will see a lot of traffic.

[AB]

How about you ab...lol What do you mean how about me?

Bit rude mate, I have donated $, given advertising space, redback bag, just haven't gloated about it.

I have been asked by a few not to disclose how much they have given. <~ true!

I have received donations from people who haven't even commented in this thread!

I have received $20 from people who probably can't afford more and $200 from various members and as mentioned 14 times the total on my side is $1200 and will advise if it increases of course. Not sure where you're heading with that comment?????

[Bloodyaussie]

Just having a laugh but you know what.... i have tried my hardest with what time i have available but feel like it is not appreciated.

I am under a huge amount of stress but could not sit back and see roofy go out like this.

I leave this here , ive personal things to take care of.

I think it was a tongue in cheek comment AB, he did put a LOL after it [emoji6]

[Winnies-missus]

Maybe someone could set up a Go Fund Me for him. It's at: www.gofundme.com In any case I'm good for fifty bucks. Just let me know the bank details. Good luck Roofy...

I did think that and was about to set it up, half did it then thought better not
