Man, I love the GU4 center dash part! What is all that stuff going on there? Can you give me a brief tour on all those gauges and modules and stuff you got there?Quote:

Above hazard light is the Kings _ Throttle Control Unit: alters TPS signal sent to ECU/ECM (not used currently). Can work well with CRD drive by wire setup.
Round dial gauge is used to measure vacuum @ the VNT turbo actuator diaphragm (real time) actuator rod position which indicates the VNT vane aperture opening positioning within limits set. Vac gauge also shows the change rate of the vanes aperture relative to boost pressure and MAF voltage (MAF V measures by the multi meter at top of dash). MAF voltage is taken from MAF sensor (back probe connector or as I now have spliced into ECM harness). MAF voltage correlates to MAF rate (g/s) measured.
I play/trial with various boost control methods.
By the way the other two (in counsel cutout), the aux/main battery monitor plus electronic brake controller for tow.
Out of sight the (usual): EGT, Boost(relative), Oil and scan gauge.

Attachment 85493 ordered some rock sliders as I’ve bent the side steps a bit.
Well Done Stroppstar, they look Strong As[emoji123][emoji123]
If it’s not too late are they able to infill them for you with say Checker or small hole Dimple Die plate?
I really wish I had of taken that option on my open GU ute ones years ago.
Have nearly Can Opened the lower sills on mine twice in ruts with sticks that pricks inlay to get height clearance through.
Our front tyres pop them up and they spear head in between open sliders like mine and if unnoticed in time or too fast it’s a lower panel/door disaster [emoji26]

‘Two bolt’ rarer OEM Nissan variants are out of control nowadays, nearly $500 a pair whereas 1/2 to a 1/4 priced for any others.

Found the handlebar mount model below fits a GQ jesus bar so bought a second one for easy swapping over to the little SWB Maverick if needed:

Can you text me his detail@mb? I think this is a bit neater than my long ram mount stick that comes off the front passenger seat bolt
Thanks Mark, I know this place, went chasing a power cord for a laptop and he had one, pulled it from a 'box out the back'
Over 800 ‘RAM’ parts/trinkets in ‘stock’ out back, I was shocked/impressed and that’s his secondary business. Fark internetty purchases, he’s a real Human Being….CARES (No Bullshit Honestly) [emoji3590][emoji3590][emoji106][emoji106]

I bought new brake pads all round. My squealing is getting embaressing, everyone turns and looks to see where that noise is coming from when I drop the kids off to school....
Also I bought a victron 100/20 solar charge controller for my 48v off grid stuff :)
I got sent to the local supermarket for a couple midweek supplies. In the bargain bin I found this little coffee grinder.

For $20 it's worth a try..http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2022/08/13.jpg

Sabre 12k recovery rope and 18k soft shackles $313, good upgrade I reckon, suited for 4 - 5t GVM
Nice. Is it battery operated? AAs? How quick is it? I used pre ground coffee into my nanopressi but this looks sweet. Did you pay that price? Oh!!!$20!!!! Did they have any more?? Where from?Quote:

Coles.
I brought it thinking that it would heat up a bit of water too, but it's just a grinder you have to put hot water in the insulated cup.
Returned it...

Less than a third of the cost of a new tyre, so should pay for itself really!
Nice one Crem. You should see the shit they leave on roofs for good old galvanic reaction to do its damage. Constantly amazes me payments for work on the roof aren't dependent on a final roof inspection.Quote:

Have never seen so many tyre/tire repair shops in a a row [emoji23]
That’s how China works, employment lowered by design.
Smartest thing I saw was a magnetic contraption, pedal magneto I assume under a Hard Working Ladies what we would call a Tricycle, fully loaded little tipper on Her Tri-Tipper following the Big Rigs to the Recycling Plant [emoji123][emoji123][emoji106][emoji106]

Gotta say that the Dremel is an overpriced item, but geewhiz, they are a handy bit of kit.
Yeah I've killed two of the 230v units, both died the exact same way, they just started sparking and carrying on, can't remember the model, both out of warranty, but bloody hell they are very handy. So I bought the 12V option. Still handy but weak as piss though.Quote:

EDIT, ring is rated for 15000KG, not pounds, so OK for larger winch, happy days
Nice, I could do with one at work for picking up all the alloy swarf around my work bench, gunna hit the boss up on Monday.... will be heaps better than the broomQuote:

Got the front room for the rv2 thirty second tent ready for cape Jaffa
Have been looking for a single din digital radio to put in the pulsar. There's not really much out there. I found this little (60mm yes 60mm deep) cheapie on eBay, bloody thing works better than the pioneer unit in the patrol. With an iso wiring harness an hour later and under $90 I'm set..
Only fault would be a bit of a delay in changing stations, but for what it's worth it's nothing really..http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2022/08/79.jpg

I bought a new double din for the GU and never use it. I just wind down the rear passenger window and listen to the Garret whistle if I want some tunes. I honestly cannot remember the last time I actually used the head unit for music. I can't even remember how to turn it on!Quote:
