Hi All. Want to make a super reliable 09 ZD30 Patrol.

[Tothetip09]

Hi,
I have frequently read the forum here when needing some advice on repairs. So I figure I will join.

I have an X- Forestries GU Ute that has the ARB build plate for mods. I have sorted most everything out that was obvious- like the driver door lock, lights/indicators, horn, reverse switch and lights, 4wd selector seized. But want to know what will make this machine purrr and perform in the bush.

The tip of Australia is the objective!

Welcome :)

Intake clean. ECM retune with software level EGR delete. Good quality catch can (eg provent/flashlube). Fully welded intercooler.

What's the drivers door lock fix? I can't lock my patrol without turning the key in the door or pressing the central locking button while sitting in the drivers seat.

pollenface on some GU models the drivers door is impossible to open

Great, I have chipped it, had to do that after I blocked off the EGR. Bought the catch can but have not installed. Run Diesel Doctor Flashlube in it (makes a huge difference) The driver's door couldn't lock- they wanted big bucks for a new set up so I stripped it and modified it, works a charm now. Intercooler looks like something I will have to look at.
