2.8 4.2 Swap
15th July 2018, 01:34 PM
Hi Patrol people my name is Richard
I'm entering into this forum thing
for the first time, ever.
I'm a QueeNZlander
Oldschool diesel mechanic
4 wheel driving for many, many years
Competed in 4x4 competion, super modified
Drove extreme 4x4 as a job,
groundspreading steep country, and survived.
I started my Patrol ownership about 15yr ago
with a 91 GQ shorty Safari 4.2 in NZ.
I had that for 10 years, bought it to Australia
with me and eventually, reluctantly, sold it here.
$1000 less than I'd bought it for 10yrs earlier.
What other vehicle could claim that.
Now I have come into possession of a 99 GU.
It had a partly dismantled LD28 which I have
hit the eject button on and now nestled neatly
in it's place is a TD42 (of course)
with a nice turbo upgrade.
The job is not complete electrically yet and that
is why I have joined this forum, hopefully I might
find some electrical conversion answers.
Looking forward to swapping knowledge.
Richard
