My Moneypit - 89 GQ

[Punderhead]

Hi all, joined up a while ago, not many posts at all, and haven't been on for the past couple of months due to slow internet and lack of computer availability. Oh, and spending most my free time fixing my rig of course!

Rundown:
89 Model GQ, TB42 carby, Dual fuel.
2" lift
33" MTZ's
Genie Extractors

Ummm, that's all I can think of at the moment.

But with a bit of right foot, careful wheel placement, and the correct crossing of fingers, she goes just about anywhere!

Few Pics for all of you, with a few of my dad's GU, and one of My sister deciding she want's out of my car???

Cheers!

[Bigrig]

Nice snaps mate - we'll have to try to catch up for a run (possibly one on Sunday to Beerburrum).

[Woof]

Welcome back mate, thanks for the photos..........especially the one of your GQ doing what they do best, recovering GU's...LOLOLOLOLOL

[Punderhead]

Hmmm, a run sounds good - however shes off the road at the moment due to a blown radiator hose and a stuffed clutch.
But, if your ever going out a Saturday on a pay week, just give me a buzz and I'll be their before you know it!

Cheers!

[butters]

Nice pics mate, love the GQ snatchin the GU :clapping:

[Punderhead]

haha, yep, but what you don't see is that he snatched me out of the same hole only minutes before, only to be told he had to get through to beat me - well thats how it turned out. (I think at least 35's were needed, the ruts were quite deep!)

Cheers!

No worries mate!!! PM me your mobile if you like and I'll add you to the SMS list ... a bit easier to keep in tough about trips ...

[Silver]

Thanks, Punderhead!

Was your Q resting on its left side in that hole, or just clear?

I hope that chivalrous gent rescuing your sister cleaned his japanese safety boot before sullying the duco :-)))

[growler2058]

Cool action shots mate cheers

[AB]

Welcome back mate, great pics, thanks for sharing!

[Tweakedoffroad]

Cool picks mate looks like u will be havin fun in it

[Punderhead]

Thanks, Punderhead!

Was your Q resting on its left side in that hole, or just clear?

I hope that chivalrous gent rescuing your sister cleaned his japanese safety boot before sullying the duco :-)))

Nup, was just clear. Took an off line, didn't make it out, reversed back for another attempt and rammed the exhaust into a mound of dirt, blocking the zorst and stalling my engine. Hence the need for the snatch that is visible!

And if you ever call my brother a chivalrous gent again, I will ram a dictionary down your throat!

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Well, have no money any more, ordered a new clutch, and got some new radiator hoses. will hopefully have it running soon!

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Got thr rig running again, going good, exept I haven't put the new clutch in yet. Hopefully it will arrive soon and I will have it in without too many dramas.

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

New clutch has arrived. Now time to fit it! Anyone got any tips with changing the clutch at all?

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Ahh, the new clutch is in, running nicely. Fitted without too many dramas, finding the time was the biggest problem. Also did a little exterior decorating.

Cheers!

[Haydog Havoc]

Great pic's

[Punderhead]

thanks Haydog - This rig is my pride and joy!

Cheers!

[msw21]

nice shots of camp rd mate

[Punderhead]

haha cheers mate - was absolutely stoked when I made it up there - no lockers, first trip where I actually got to drive offroad, (I'd had my P's for 2 days)

Couldn't believe I made it!

Cheers!

[nissannewby]

Good stuff bloke lookin forward to easter mate hopefully will be bale to help you a little and vice versa i have been unlocked for as long as i can be its been my goal to try and drive a lot of places the locked blokes do and trust me its amazing how far you can go when you drive smart, listen to others experience and think outside the box. Look forward to meeting you and sharing some good ole yarns about 4wding.

[Punderhead]

Too true Nissannewby.

Despite my age (and I'm not trying to brag here) I think I'm actually not to bad at picking a good line, having been dad's navi since I can remember. I always seem to find that it's driving a little to the left/right of the 'worn in' line that seems to get the best results

Still, can't wait to get out there again, looking forward to meeting you all, learning from your experience, and recovering some yota's.

Oh, and we have to find somewhere that Bigrig can't get Tank up, (hmmm, like thats ever gunna happen)

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Been a while since I last update - have customised a rear quarter, and also my sills, a rear bar is still in the works, as is a set of drawers - just trying to find the cash ATM.

But on the plus side - I got an awesome sticker yesterday!

Cheers!!

[nissannewby]

Good to see ya still around. I like the take a photo part thats gold.

[Punderhead]

Yeah still hanging around. We should really organize another trip sometime, I'm itching to get out, but between work recently, lack of people to go with and just being to poor, I havent had time :(

Also, the take a photo part comes first, as it is much more important!! Hahaha

Cheers!

[nissannewby]

Yeah i have 3 weeks off at the beginnin of august so looking at trying to do something then

[Punderhead]

I was thinking of entering the suspension stuff comp at scenic rim for a bit of fun around then

http://www.scenicrimadventurepark.com.au/component/rsform/form/4-suspension-stuff-challenge-competitor-entry-form-2012

hmm, maybe you could enter too and make it a weekend ;)

If not I'm keen to get out to glasshouse, haven't been there before so but am really hoping to soon!

Cheers!

[nissannewby]

yeah im not keen on that park went there when it first opened and the people who run the joint have left a bad taste in my mouth. Yeah I wouldnt mind a glasshouse run could even be looking at a trip to the springs.

[Punderhead]

Well I got onto CAD and drew up some drawer frames. Tell me what you think.

Cheers!

[nissannewby]

Looks good. Whats the cutout for? Have a look at ozzyboy's build he has a very neat lookin draw setup in the rear of his similar to what you have drawn up.

[Punderhead]

Thanks nissannewby. The cutout is so I can still access the shutoff valve on my LPG tank, as it is inside the rear of the car.

I actually made a start on my rear drawers today. have made the main body, but still need to make the drawers and the side bits, as I want to have a complete false floor in the back. The height is of the gas tank, as the tank holders support part of the floor.

I also changed my design slightly to allow the one drawer to open when I only have the small door to open.

Cheers!

[growler2058]

Looks good mate well done, ive made my carcass about 6mths ago and its still sitting in the shed :-)

[nissannewby]

You could do a lid type setup down each side and use that space there that normally would be void for the storage of recovery gear tool kits jumper leads etc.

[Punderhead]

Yeah I was thinking of doing something like that. I'm just looking at the best way to do it so I can access through my sliding rear windows - just in case i can't open my rear drawers for recovery.

The other problem is that the height brings the false floor up to the windows. so If I put anything in I will have to secure it somehow to stop it sliding round and smashing through some glass.

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Well no more done on the drawers yet - however i just replaced the bushes on my passenger side radius arm - chassis end. Thats what my banging noise whenever I hit a bump was - the bush was almost completely gone!!!

So i think that most my bushes can't be too far behind, so I have ordered a bush kit for radius arms, panhards, upper and lower control arms. - hopefully will replace them soon, but the electrical box on the pres at work just got smashed up, so I don't know how long it will be before I am able to use it (low priority - we use it maybe once every 3 months)

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

I did a rear quarter chop the other day, and knocked up a rear bar this arvo. Still needs a coat of paint, and also a bit of modifying to make it stronger, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

Sorry bout the poor quality, will get some better pics tommorow!

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Gave the rear bar a quick flick of paint today and got some more pics. I eventually plan to replace the bits of flat holding the mudflaps with proper tube and bolt it to the chassis for more strength on the side.

Got a few more pics.

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

I don't know what came over me!!! Today I suddenly had a desire to finish things, installed my stereo system (yes the one I got last year), finished my rear drawers, and mostly installed my UHF. (The aldi UHF's can be made to fit in place of the rubbish sliding tray until you plug the Cord for the aerial in and then it won't!) My car actually looks complete for the first time since I bought it!

Pics to come soon

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

replaced my broken taillight today. one less thing to worry about next time I get pulled over.

Does anyone have any ideas on a good replacement solid flare that attaches to the outside of the car so I can't rip it off every time I have a little bit of flex? something that won't break the apprentice bank either.

Cheers!

[King_ady1]

hey mate. love the rig. with a beast like that ya go hard, or go home. :P

[nissannewby]

He he certainly lives by that

[Punderhead]

haha yep why do things by halves? the good thing is I have a mate who just bought a 4by and has the same motto.should be hitting up some even better tracks real soon!

My next dilemma. I have a near new MTZ as my spare tyre, so I could get away with buying only 3 new MTZ's. Alternativly, I can get 4 new Maxxis Bighorns for a similar price. What would you do?

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Sorry which photos mate?

Cheers!

[77gze]

Good lookin truck mate

[Punderhead]

cheers mate!

[Punderhead]

Finally got round to getting photo off my mates, so here is a few of a recent trip to glasshouse, and a few of local tracks.

Cheers!

[growler2058]

Mate awesome lookin tracks mate and some nice flex well done


Sent via my tapping thumbs

[Punderhead]

Cheers Growler I am actually thinking of putting in a 3" flexi lift with 6" shocks, but funds play a big part in this decision. also Need to hurry up and build myself some sliders that hide my sills :)

Also debating the advantiges of fabbing myself a tube bar but I don't know when I would get round to it.

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Well i started building myself a set of rocksliders the other day, and have mostly finished the drivers side one.

PROBLEM!!! I had hoped that I could use the sliders to hide the majority of the sill damage, so it would look better. WRONG. Instead, I have put a nice straight piece of pipe next to my bent up sill, only highlighting the dents :/

:biggrin::biggrin:Also got my green P's!!!:biggrin::biggrin:

Got a couple pics.

Cheers

[big_fletch]

Some nice photo's there mate, Looks like alot of fun haha.. Sliders look like they will come up good as well

Fletcha

[nissannewby]

You could do a sill chop as well and just weld some 6mm flat bar where the sills use to be. Its coming along nicely though keep up the work.

[Punderhead]

Yeah thanks nissannewby I was thinking about doing something similar to that.

The next thing I need to do is to find a flare I can put on and not rip off. And mudflaps. I am currently thinking of getting some flares made that bolt onto the side rather than underneath the wheel arch. Something similar to the flares off a wrangler.

Cheers!

[jstnmaller]

great shots mate

[Punderhead]

Well been a while but time for an update on the rig.

She has a few more battle scars - but is still going strong.

I recently purchased a ste of 33" Bighorns, and also a set of 31" Allterrains for road tyres.

Finally finished my sliders

Bent a lower control arm - so replaced both with Racebred4wd Ones

Went 4bying

And discovered yesterday that the new bushes that i bought for my control arms (Just to clarify - these were not racebred4wd bushes) lasted 2 weeks and Are now completely stuffed! So I have to do the job again tomorrow :furious:

A few pics. - Gu is my dad, GQ ute and Rodeo are mates and Prado is mates cousins.

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

And a few more!

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Well got the new bushes in, and took it for a test drive. Suffice to say It is now covered in mud. I have to wash it tomorrow morning.




But, on the plus side... washing it means that I didn't get defected tonight!!! YAY!!

I am not quite sure which way to go, as i think some other bushes are on their way out, and I am keen to replace them, but all the ones i have are the same crap ones that lasted 2 weeks in my lowers. So I'm not sure that I want to risk trying another set of rubber bushes, but I have heard that poly bushes give you less flex.
Thoughts?

Cheers!

[nissannewby]

Genuine bushes only mate. Get onto patrolapart or Nizzbits they are cheaper through them.

[Diesel-Mate]

If you want nice cheap flares that last and are easy on the wallet go Bunnings Garden Edging. Looks awesome as well.

[Punderhead]

Are you able to post some pics of how you have attached the edging diesel-mate?

Copper didn't say a work about my flares last night though - he was just annoyed about the sheer volume of mud!

Genuine Nissan bushes.... I know that they are the best but still $$$$$$ which i don't have!!!!
Gotta love being an apprentice!

Cheers!

Well I took a grinder to the old girl today..... Still deciding if I will cut the rest off or leave it as a well body. Either way this is the beginning of a complete makeover.

Cheers

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

wow man, not guts no glory? Whats the plan from here?

[Punderhead]

Well after I finish the chop And weld the back wall in, I plan o knock out all the dents, give it a full respray, make up some custom bar work, get the engine tuned up, and put in a new set of seats.

Basically making it look good again

Cheers

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

How can you do that legally in QLD , Im sure the laws in w.a are ridiculous. Can you upload some pics of your cuts how your going about it interested as.

[Punderhead]

I have spoken to the engineer, and by only cutting it into a dual cab I am leaving the pillars behind the doors, which means the body retains the rigidity it needs. If I was to chop it into an extra cab it would be a whole lot harder to get engineered. As for the seats I don't know if I will worry about engineering them cause it costs to much and harder to notice.

A bit of hoop jumping is required but the guy I'm using isn't too bad.

Cheers

[Punderhead]

Did a bit more grinding today.... Really happy with how i envision it to turn out.

[Punderhead]

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

Mate lets see some up close personal pics , how your going to start fabrication sections. Pictures inside the roof under the lining would be good pictures for people as there are not many around.

[Punderhead]

Sure thing mate, I will grab a few more when I get home


Cheers

[Punderhead]

Been a while so i thought I would finally grab the pictures I promised.

32866 32867

This is how it will look. It is the original d pillar, fitted up to the c pillar. retaining the original angle of the d pillar. I will fill in the gap with a bit of sheet and I will still retain the air vents for an original look.

32868

Where I cut off the d pillar. I will need to fill it in with some sheet, as well as the tops of the doors.

3286932870

With the windowsill, I have cut off the strip that holds the windows in via the rubber. As this is also what holds the two panels together, I still have to weld it up and smooth it over.

3287132872

The gas tank will still sit inside the car, and so the tub space will be quite small. (The tank is sitting there for measurements, I'm not stupid enough to weld/grind with it there!)

32874

Still have to knock out all the dents, finish welding it all up, sand, and paint. At the moment electric blue is the colour at the top of my list.

Cheers

[Punderhead]

We'll I have changed my mind and decided to do an extra cab chop. If you know of a rear wall off an mk, mq, or gq ute please let me know

Cheers

[Punderhead]

We'll I picked this up for a good price today for a good price. Gunna use the rear wall out of it for my gq. Will probably. Part out the rest, although I would love to make it into a good bashing rig. Will have to see what funds I don't have after the gq is done

Cheers

nice rig mate love the pics

[Punderhead]

Well, its been a while, so time for a bit of an update. Progress has been slow. Very slow. Just re-reading my 'hopefully i'll be done by christmas. Hasn't really worked out. However some more progress was (Slowly) made

Here is how it sits now.

The only dilemma i now have is to sell it after i finish it to fund mods for my other patrol, or keep it as a weekend warrior and turn my other one into a tourer. The dilemmas of a 3rd year with too many toys......

Cheers4765847659

[Punderhead]

So I sold my other wagon, to fund another car yet again.

Chop should be done soon (really gotta get a move on with it!) and then I will swap over all the gear off a shorty I bought. Only have a few old pics from the owner, but pick it up in around 3 weeks.

Specs:
Tb42 swb
4" lift, full superior arms
High mount winch
37" super swampers on flipped rims, internal bead locks.
4.6 diff ratios
Front arb air locker
Rear diff shimmed up
Near new clutch/gearbox.

All in all one awesome rig!

Cheers.

[Punderhead]

Picked up the shorty today!!! Super stoked. Should be getting my ute back either this weekend or next. Let the mods commence!!!

[Punderhead]

So happy. Had an awesome weekend collecting cars. Got my ute back from my mates, chop is done.

Now I just have to build the tray and put all the shorty gear on it!

[Punderhead]

New sills even!!

[Punderhead]

Got home from work and started stripping the winch and bar off of the shorty. Unfortunately my home spanners were a hand me down kit and missing half of them. The sizes I need!

So waiting for my mate to get home from work so I can use his sockets.

In the meantime I have measured up the tray, and will be pricing up the steel at various places, to hopefully start the tray on the coming weekend.

Hoping to have everything swapped over, tray built and ready to drive in a month. Then I'll be hitting the tracks hard!!

Cheers

[Punderhead]

A few more pics while I'm waiting.

[Punderhead]

The back wall

[Punderhead]

Well I have pulled the rear diffs out ready for the swap over. I'm going to need to replace bushes in the lower control arms on the ute, but oh well.

Hopefully will be able to get them both back in on Friday.

Cheers.

[Punderhead]

Both rear diffs are in now. I took a time lapse video of the shorty, but can't figure out how to upload it.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

[Punderhead]

Spun up a body lift. Ended up going alloy using a few off its around the shed. 50mm body lift with 80mm diameter alloy, 12.5mm bolt hole. About to get some bolts and go out it in!

Cheers

[Punderhead]

Or not. Nut and bolt shop was closed, :( gotta wait till tomorrow now :(

[Punderhead]

Well, progress is slow. I've pulled both front diffs out but haven't re-installed them yet.

On the plus side I'm getting a td42ti to throw in the ute. So it should be good fun!

Cheers

[Punderhead]

Update time. Progress is slow, as I've been out of the country for a few weeks, and working flat out while I've been here.

But anyway. Still waiting to get my front diff back from my mate (he's checking the locker and putting the 4.6 centre in).

I've put the front diff back in the shorty so it can roll around (although I'm seriously thinking of Comp trucking the shorty, just for fun)

And I have a td42tisitting at work waiting to be thrown in.

Shouldn't be too much longer now!

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Trays dummie mounted the back windows cut in, windscreen refitted, body lift is in! Looking good can't wait to have it back on the road!

[Punderhead]

[Viiper]

[Punderhead]

Cheers mate she's getting there

[Punderhead]

Got the new 35"s on her today! Looks awesome!!

[Punderhead]

Bit of an update. Tray is now attached (sort of, still to to do it better) engine is all wired up, I've got goodies in the mail. Just need to make an air box and snorkel, fit the winch, wire up all the accessories, for sliders, make brush bars, and whatever else I remember on the way.

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

As it sits now.

[blocko05]

great job mate, thanks for sharing

[Punderhead]

Soo, I got all my switches and lights. Now to wire them all up. Also picked up a snorkel for $70 so got to fit that too. Still a long list to go but it's slowly shrinking!

But the plus side is I took it for a run last weekend and loved every minute of it!!!

Cheers!

[Punderhead]

Sorry, forum runner is only letting me post one pic at a time.

[Punderhead]

How have people put rock lights under their front guards?

[Punderhead]

Last one for now. Still have to fit up the winch and get it running nicely aswell.

Cheers !

[Punderhead]

Headed out to the rockit toowoomba comp at Janowen hills on the weekend. Had a few mates competing, and had an awesome weekend.

So. Been a while since I've been on here.

Anyway. Not a lot more has been done to the ute. Other than bending a couple of diffs. So I'm saving for a set of braced ones. Also saving for some armada extreme shocks.

Have been stating to do a few comps now. Did the rockit Comp back in March, planning to do round 2 and 3 soon.

Also planning to do the Logan challenge in September.

[Punderhead]

Well, just got back from the rockit comp, time to get stuck in and get it ready for Logan challenge.

In the next three months it's going to cop new springs/shocks. Re bushing throughout, braced front diff (preferably a gu one if I can find the $$$)

Also the tray needs to be straightened and properly braces after the weekend. While I'm at it is going to get proper sliders (I mean some solid bits of kit!!)

Also going to do a fair bit of a tidy up
In the engine bay, might finally get around to putting a proper bracket on my intercooler lol.

Have a new bonnet for it with scoops,

Going to get a whole lot of aftermarket gauges aswell. (Oil pres, boost, egt, water temp,)

Should be a good couple of months!

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2016/05/397.jpg

This is why my tray needs bracing lol.

Well, I've started back into the old girl today.
Started by cleaning out the inside, while doing so I realised that me being fat and jumping the ute too much has bent my seat rails, and cracked my floor pan. Pulled the seat out ready to fix/replace. Bars also off atm, will be getting a bit of a straighten and a quick lick of paint before going back on.

The grill also got a lick aswell....

Got a bit to do, but all going well I should have it together in 3 weeks for winter wheel!

Been a while since I updated, but I've been busy.

Long story short I've had to downsize my patrols so I can go to uni.

Soooo.

Currently pulling the td out of the ute and dropping it in a roller wagon cab.

The Utes gunna be out for a few years, but plans include a v8 and a few other goodies when I have $$$ again.

So here's the new wags anyway!!http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2016/11/81.jpg

I hope you're studying about Patrols in the uni, not about how to sell Patrols. :D ;)
