What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Silver]

I thought the point of having paired belts was so that if one fails, it has a backup so it can still run?

I thought so, too, but that isn't what happened. I guess the design is to get more grip/drive?

Or perhaps I was just unlucky :-)

[DX grunt]

...... and thanks for sharing the photos elsewhere of your camping set up.

Rick

No worries.

Forgot to mention I also checked my nuts. Tightened them to make sure they wouldn't fall off. lol
I'm talking about wheel nuts, of course PML.

The deciding factor was seeing that VERY expensive hose reel !!!!!

[ozzyboy]

wire brushed / undercoat the underside of the gq.
fixed mud guards
rotated tyres
started the tedious job of trying to buff out the new pin striping i aquired yesterday !

[AB]

Finally put a lock on the fridge slide as the banging around was driving me nuts.

And for the first time since I have owned it I cleaned the interior and the windows....lol....Must of been bored shipless!!!!

[Winnie]

Bolted my muddies on ready for the weekend =]

[DX grunt]

Put in my order for a new driver's seat belt & stalk with Garry from Nizzbits and it arrived in 3 days! I'm impressed.

Just a warning to everybody. Please check the seat belt near the bottom anchor point of your seatbelts.

I don't know if it's just my ute.

Without realizing it, over time, mine has been catching on the metal on the bottom of the seat/rail and has frayed to an 'unroadworthy' condition.

It hasn't been picked up when my truck's been serviced. Time to put something over the the bare metal and change the seat belt.

My weekend jobs.

[robbo0001]

Still getting excessive dirt in filter housing after replacing the foam seal in the top of the air cleaner tub. Pulled inner wheel arch trim and front Passenger wheel arch trim off... To find the first hose clamp from the snorkel missing. Rubber seal was also partially dislodged and not sealed... New hose clamp and hopefully good to go now.
Picked up most parts for two inch flexi coill lift from Suspension Stuff...just waiting on front shocks and wil fit em up.
Now beer o'clock...sweet

[robbo0001]

Haha stupid IPhone...spelling still shite.
But ya get the drift...

Hey guys, back it off a bit, theres too much BROVE there lol

[MC97GQ]

Ha ha,

Had the best day,

New head, new injectors, all new lower and upper thermostat housing, machined exhaust manifold, new air induction from turbo to inlet manifold, all new hoses for the cooling system and got to drive the truck again after nearly a fortnight.

And F Me if it don't fly. Boosting past 15psi now(best reading before was 11) and based on it's trial run today will go better than a tun.

I am one happy camper.

[97_gq_lwb]

I pulled apart a front diff i had here to find a dodgy had been in there messing about their was no clip on the end of the cv the wheelbearing nuts were finger tight and the tab hadn't been bent over .

[growler2058]

Got a spare key cut ;-)


Tap, Tap.......Who's there?

[DX grunt]

Gunna have a 'man' look at why my brake warning light came on yesterday. If it looks too hard, it's off to the mechanics on Monday - on the back of a trailer, towed by a RAC T T T, you know.

Ouch! That really hurt to say that.

have u checked ur brake fluid level???, when low it can come on going around corners and then go back out.

[nipagu7]

Yeah im with Nissan gq4.2. check your brake fluid level.
I had to charge the battery in the old vn commadore a couple of days ago cause it's been a while since it ran . I noticed the brake fluid level had dropped somewhat from when i last topped it up at it's last and only brake pad change---about 20 years ago.
And me today . I fitted my new dashmat !!! Some days are diamonds , some days you do what you can !?!?!

[MC97GQ]

got any pictures?????

Not yet Ben, but will put some up soon, I am waiting to get a pipe bent that runs from the turbo to the new fitting on the inlet manifold, what is there now is doing the job but looks like crap.

Lots of hose clamps and small pieces of silicone pipe to get the angles right.

Truck is going like a dream now, can't get over how much quicker it is now all the exhaust gasses are going to the turbo.

[Yendor]

Replaced glow plugs, intercooler and cleaned out throttle body.

[DX grunt]

Must of been all that off road action you've been putting the grunter through lately Rossco..... Might have shaken something loose

Not quite. lol.

Just read the owner's manual and it says if the light comes on, check the brake fluid level. I did and it wasn't on minimum, but it wasn't that far off it, so I'm guessing that's the problem. Pity the nearest 500ml of oil is 60k's away. Damn, will have to wait until Monday.

I'm moving in 16 days and will be closer to my young fella, who is about 2 months off finishing his HDD mechanic apprenticeship.

I've got a shopping list for him to do on my truck. First thing is to change all the fluids.

Then he has 15 years and 364 days of payback he owes me. hahaha

The little preek was seriously thinking of charging me for the service! I don't mind paying for the parts, but labour WILL BE mate's rates - until his debt is repaid - in full, and a bit more. lol

[Drew]

Plugged in the new scangauge and found that even though the tachometer was showing it idling at 450rpm it said 750rpm so I'm happy now I know it isn't idling slow

[macca]

With an attitude like that, reckon we all get a free service when we pass your way LOL

Had the same problem with my dash light, the fluid level was down.
Felt like a real goose when our mechanic showed me, hadn't even left his workshop before he had it fixed. At least it didn't cost me much...

Good luck mate, with the truck and the move.
Macca

[boots]

Power/ battery issues recently . charged both batteries during the week and fitted both back in today , turns out my main starter battery has died . second batt is a normal type so put it in the starter spot and all good - for now .starter batt looked like original so for an 04 model I cant complain .

[HammerBuilder]

Started building Aluminium Rear Draws out of offcuts from aluminium trays I started a build post & posting pics in the DIY section here for anyone else to see & give me suggestions, all coments welcome

Cheers

[choochie]

Fitted new HD adj drag link, steering damper and new HD tie rod ends. Still need to fit the HD lower control arms this week.

Also fitted the chicken oil tray; damn awkward when filters are still in place!!! Looking forward to doing the oil change tomorrow though :)


[Tapatalk2 on Nexus7]

[waflyer]

Started fitting rear quarter storage units. Plywood and tools everywhere! :)

[macca]

Took the Patrol to work today, had the work trailer on as it has all the power line gear.

Had to straighten a power pole. Winch was used to support it, dug around base pulled it verticle again added 9 bags of quickset and job done.

So we thought, we was bogged. Couldnt back up the hill and a creek in front of us. Mmmmmm.

Tied the trailer to a stump with the drag chain, un hitched so we could get the Ute clear then dragged the trailer round.

We had a bloody good time just like kids in a mud puddle.

Cheers Macca

[threedogs]

Fitted 600 led light strip to my Awning.
removed IC to clean but was dry ,so was ok.

Happy camper again.

Topped my brake fluid up today and light went out.

I got told to get my brake pads checked out. They might have just about worn out and thus the excessive use of brake fluid.

I'm sure the last service they were around 80%, but I'll get it checked out anyway.

Put a new rear wiper blade on and got my tyre refitted.

[DX grunt]

I was gunna wash the outside of my truck and get some PR photos in the Stirling Range National Park.

Today and cup day are the only times I have a bet so happy as.

Turns out the govt dept that had it only services it 3 times, only found out after weeks of tracking down the service history as the motor pool doesnt do them anymore apparently????

[The BigFella]

Hi all,

Window washing. The fact is that you know how to wash your car windows in a very effective way to have no trace?

I use white vinegar with a sponge, I put white vinegar on the sponge I go on the glass and I wipe immediately with a dry lint free cloth.

Installed my subwoofer today, swapped it out of the work van. Had some problems with it initially as I didn't have a good earth, fixed that up promptly and then I turned on the radio and it didn't work, didn't have time to trace the cable before it got too dark to work but found one end of a cut coaxial cable in the engine bay.... could be an old CB antenna cable from previous owner or I may have somehow cut the radio antenna......frustrating stuff.

Handed over $470 to get the alternator replaced. Still not sure what I did during the service to screw it up, but apparently was already on it's way out as the windings were shagged, and the earth point was not properly connected. Oh the joys of secondhand vehicles.

Good news is it now has fresh oil, trans fluid, fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, battery terminal, alternator, tyres rotated and NADS mostly done (fine tuning on the dawes valve to come).

Chased and discovered why my headlights weren't working.

The fuse box in the driver's side kick panel has two fuses for headlights. Two circuits, one power feed.
Cut the wires loose away from the green death and installed an inline fusible link to them.

First time, wrong way around one light stays on with a constant power feed and forgot to put heat shrink on one end
Second time resoldered heatshrink on both no worries mate and works a treat will put photo's up for those interested.
Went for drive and RHS light globe (sealed unit) seems to have air in it and smoked up and blew out. Damn cheap lights
Will be purchasing hella sealed or semi sealed globes for the beast now.

Bolted on a reverse light and wired it up. Now I can see when I reverse instead of relying on the single Nissan light.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=19549

How bright is that? Im guessing its a little led jobby?

[oncedisturbed]

I need to look at something like that reverse light on mine, even though I have the kaymar bar with LEDS in it, still not very bright but not sure whether I would put it there as I can see it getting knocked off whilst wheeling

[BRTSyndrome]

Wired in sounds folk's, woohoo! the old one was was a cash converter's jobbie so I ditched it just in case it was a stolen piece lol. don't want that sort of dirt on my hands these days you see. :-) just a cheap jvc 50wx4 stezza but i did it properly with solder and heatshrink. make sure those connections are idiotproofed folk's. on the bright side I went bashing in the scrub in south hedland and had a ball, lost a mudflap and woke up this morning to a gearbox that won't go into first or second. bit of bitching and a quick jab to the gearstick moved her into freedom now i have my gears back woo x2.

[BRTSyndrome]

also looking at why the previous owner bypassed the spotlight switch meaning more piss farting around today to try and resolve that one. no biggie but still peace of mind s more comforting than the feeling of yellow on the windscreen. lol good day troller's

I need to look at something like that reverse light on mine, even though I have the kaymar bar with LEDS in it, still not very bright but not sure whether I would put it there as I can see it getting knocked off whilst wheeling

The reverse light is an OEX, 900 Lumen output, LED (9-50V)
It is bright bright. It is quick to remove when hardcore 4 wheeling. One little cap screw.
They aren't easy to break as they are cast iron. I was going to put it up near the spare as other have done, but I find that a pian in the bottom.

[Big_Roy]

After battling some stubborn nuts and bolts I finally got the pyro in yesterday, also put in a boost gauge. Got autometer gauges out of the states for a good price although the pyro is in fahrenheit I am happy with them.
Changed the globes to amber ones and they match the main cluster pretty well. Now I can see what the motor is doing and keep an eye on it, may install a NADS in the future but see how it goes in the mean time.

[threedogs]

Good idea Roy best thing you can do.
I put a little more boost into the Patrol, Egts still get around 400c on hard throttle,
Hell of a lot zippier now,

Discovered the drivers door lock is stuffed, locks all doors apart from itself.
Will pull door card off over weekend and have a look.

[oncedisturbed]

Rewired the spotties (before getting crook as a dog) with a new Lightforce harness as the Narva 1 was crap, also wired up and mounted the lightbar also with a Lightforce harness.

Ran out of time so mounted them with a common switch until I get time to trace the cable through to another dedicated switch. Just need to try them out of a night-time now.

Bloody nothing ... and the exhaust manifold is loose and whining, the drivers side mirror is just about off, the rear slider windows are all stuffed, I have a terrible shudder at 90klms after our little venture the other week through the track at the back of my joint, the fuel reg is stuffed and causing grief on cold starts, and I've found two rust spots (bubbling) In the gutter near the B pillar on the passenger side ...

Ahhhh ... nothing like having "something to do tomorrow" !!! lol

Booked in a date to fit my new Autron gauges

[Tank]

Finshed my roof baskets and mounted it up. It is 1.2m x 2.4m and is mounted on 4 roof rack bars so it shouldn't go anywhere.
Also picked up a rebuild kit for the front swival hubs. The passanger one has a not so small diff oil leak that needs attention before I head away with the boys in a few weeks

[snewin]

Steel winch bar fitted. Bushskinz bash guard put on. Dual stebel nautilus airhorns wired up. Pillar pod & autometer boost &egt gauges ordered. It was a great day.

[Flo-w]

Installed LED light in the roof top tent and in the boot.
Installed a water transfer pump.
Applied second layer of clear coat to the kitchen drawer.
Tidied up fuse box.

That result is better than being reimbursed, there could only be one greater result, and that is if it was you beating the snot out of him!

[MC97GQ]

Fitted new cab mounts, what a pr**k of a job, all the bolts were seized badly.

But what a difference, the others were flogged out beyond belief, the cab is now sitting 25mm above the chassis as opposed to resting on the chassis.

I would recommend every one to check their cab mounts, as on the GQ(not sure about other models) The brake lines to the rear actually sit on top of the chassis rail, and could be pinched if the cab mounts collapse.

Also get your cab mounts from Nizzbits, genuine Nissan mounts nearly $20 a pair cheaper than I've seen any where on the web.

Installed my water storage system composed of 2 water bladders, a transfer pump, plumbing and a fancy key operated switch so that the water pump doesn't start by accident.

well, after 550,000k's I needed to replace on of my engine mounts! Left hand side was completely sheared and the right side was as hard as concrete so decided if one has gone may as well replace both,,,,,,,,, what can I say, it has made the biggest difference of any repairs I have ever done!
I had really under estimated just how hard the mounts get over time or should I say after thousands of kilometres.
The difference is astounding. No more wobbles of the gear stick, no more shuddering of the body, even the bonnet has stopped shimmering at every bump in the road, what an amazing transformation.

gave the old fella a wash today. Also gave him some chassis black under the guards and front/rear ends!
Then I redid all my plastics and flat black areas on the Patrol with Sharkhide, it's been nearly 4 tears since I first did it. So the front bar, external door handles, Light Force lights all received a good coating.
The result is a shine that will last another 4 years!

I do sell this stuff, but you make your own mind up on this.

[Winnie]

How long is that sparkle gonna last before you get it dirty again big fella?

[The BigFella]

most likely over this weekend, we might get out on Stockton Beach for a squirt.
Although with Sharkhide the shine will remain after you hose off the crud!

seems all those allen head bolts were loose, I have had my FWH stolen from my other 4x4 before, as its been a while since the bearings were done.
looks like I need another pitbull.
