Hi Chazalby,
You can see it on the bottom left picture. It goes into a plastic elbow on the intake tube that feeds the Provent catchcan. It should work if you connect it anywhere between the MAF and...

If wire 22 goes to the converter locking solenoid on a GQ, then cutting it will prevent the converter from locking. You need to put power onto the solenoid to lock it.
If you have cut the wire, try...

There is a temperature switch inside the transmission which the TCU uses to help control it. Generally the transmission will not go into 4th or O/D until it's up to temp. Lockup should occur after...

Sorry, I can't help you with the manual - I haven't downloaded them.
It's always easier to pull the engine out to do a rebuild, but if you're just going to replace the pistons, it may be easier to...

Magician, yes there are three bolts at the rear of the sump that need to be accessed from in the back, so yes unfortunately the transmission and bell housing need to be removed or at least moved back...

The when is now! The old track to Mt Caernarvon is now open again with a new section to complete a loop solely on the Bunkers Conservation Reserve. At this stage it's only open on long weekends and...

Sorry guy’s, I missed this thread. I took the site down for a few weeks over Feb due to someone hacking my passwords and uploading viral content. All fixed now and the site is back up.
Cheers,

Evil Twin, very well explained!

Just if I may add - people often ask why we would want to slow down the spool rate. There are several good reasons. The factory spool rate is quite fast and VNT’s...

The simple answer is that while all modern diesels do operate with some level EGR, the ZD30 uses very high levels. Peugot do have their problems also as do many other manufacturers, but the Nissan...

Turn the screw clockwise to reduce boost and spoolup. This makes the actuator arm stop before it reaches full travel and reduces the amount of opening the turbos variable vanes can achieve.

Tony,

There’s been a lot of talk recently about inlet system cleaning and what to use or how to go about it. I have removed my throttle body and washed it in petrol, which did a good job of...

The Dawes and Needle valves are two separate items and one shouldn’t affect the other. The Dawes will limit maximum boost and the Needle valve will control the spool rate or how quickly the boost...

Ben81C,

It sounds like none of your mechanic mates or diesel specialist are familiar with the VNT controlled turbochargers used in almost all late model diesel cars. Variable nozzle turbochargers...

Excellent write up ripper! And a job very well done. Shame about the TCU, but like most of us that have the system fitted, you'll always control it manually from now on.

I also got sick of the...

Hi ripper,

There should only be one wire going from your TCU to the converter solenoid in the transmission. From memory I think its terminal 21 on the TCU, but not 100% sure as GQ models did...
