No way :-( !! I did by memory get some sort of promo deal for new members over $100 bucks spend. Blokes in Bayswater I found locally never knew of the part but could supply me in 2 months at $100 AUD each ! Autobarn USA sent in about 3 weeks. Come to think of it, I think I rang them direct to discuss with their hotline. Used the word G'day a few times too :-)
OK, I do have a US post box in Florida so I might try that avenue.Quote:

Good work, I like that mate :-) What we've experienced with online shopping algorithms is that even the best purchased programs default to single item ++++ calculations. Pretty sure that's why I rang late night and said G'day so they could manually overide their system.
Bought one at that price, waiting on request for a second. There is another vendor with 8 units avail, but shipping is still circa $60 USD, which is too high. I might go the US post box route.
Hey mate sorry for the delay I sourced mine from here pre moulded and Aly pipe joiners will grap a photo later for youQuote:

Kimbo, how did you get them 'pre-moulded'? By that I am assuming they were moulded with the bends/changes or directions?Quote:

I used 45 deg and stright hoses and pipe in between I have had the 4" snorkel from the start so can't comment on any performance gainsQuote:

It's a bit rough but one of the comp cars from Wandin 4x4 show this morning pictured.

Not Rough, simply functional, I like it, which is why I will be booking my patrol into a panel shop to get the set of gills mounted into the bonnet, because I would end up with something like the photo!Quote:

Crap, had to replace my harmonic balancer as it had a groove in it where the oil seal sat, hence my oil leak I was posting about some time back.
So the old harmonic balancer is on the work bench, I rock the bench and what happens,,, the friggin HB slides off the bench and lands on my foot from a tad over half a metre ....
I think I now have 3 broken toes in my right foot.... my engine is trying to kill me .... Christ I'm in pain!!!

Ouch, that would friggin hurt, take it easy Rainsey mate!
Ha ha, naw, I'm just being a pussy. Turns out actually broke 1 toe and one very bruised. My PPE thongs I was wearing obviously protected my foot more than I thought!Quote:

Quick update gents on oil cooling mods progress. Mill from Millweld is kindly putting the custom bar work and storing the beast until I can sort out getting the twin bullbar coolers to him. Turns out that all off the shelf coolers are not suitably sized and Fluid Dynamics need nearly $800 smackers a piece for custom tricky builds. Serck have just recently released a new model wacky size needed with inlet/outlet on the long end required so looking like going down this path:

Bursons Lilydale are kindly helping out bringing in the final hopeful piece of the puzzle and we should be good to go build again soon :-)

Will keep you posted as best I can hopefully will see my hot idle psi back near a healthy 10psi one day soon :-)

Mark, is your pressure too high or too low at idle when hot? Mine sits around 150kpa or 22psi and 350kpa at 2000rpm. Engine has done a whopping 800klm though.Quote:

Cold idle I've always experienced minimum 40psi and cold 2,000rpm up to near 60psi. Hot and flogging the old girl I've seen as low as 2.5psi hot scary idle. Hot water I think it's turning to :-(

Sounds like the oil is the wrong grade, as pressure is 'only system resistance', so if its as thin as water then it isn't going to generate much back pressure I would surmise. Do you know what your oil temp is - bearing in mind this is a critical part of the equation. If its well above the specs above then I can see the benefit of cooling it like you are doing, but if its within spec, temp wise, could it be the oil? Sounds like you have a very accurate oil pressure gauge as well - what brand?
I bloody hope it's not the wrong grade oil, GTS owners truck I bought complete and told me never to change from this:

Funny thats exactly what I am running - swapped over from Mobil. That oil must be stinking hot. I am just wondering if a 50 or 60 grade, like a semi synthetic or the like, 10W-60 for example might also help with hot temp viscosity. You maintain the low temp characteristics and increase the top end. Worth enquiring, but first thing any oil company will ask is, 'whats the temp range'. However if your super coolers do their job, then alls well. I guess one thing at a time is best practice. I am eagerly waiting the outcome!!!!! I know a couple of the guys in FNQ have upgraded their oil coolers to a second unit on the chassis rails, but speaking with BD their applications were heavy towing and constant high temps - maybe not the variables yours will see, which makes that pressure stabilising valve a good choice i reckon.Quote:

Now I can relax thanks Phil, you know what I mean....Valvoline.....:-) Speaking of variables, we're both Southerners needing to run our trucks between winter snow and then 40+ summers hauling trailers. What intrigues me on another cooling/water aspect is that some companies are suggesting 82D water thermostats when the US military operating range is 88D ++ :-)
I don't know enough about what difference 6 degrees would make, suspect 2 tents of stuff all after the valve opens, and as long as the flow remains the same, would think the radiator should take care of the rest. I get about 12 - 15 deg C drop across the radiator, so the 6 deg C is accounted for.Quote:

Checked coolant level in reservoir and radiator after cooling down at end of trip - all normal. May have to upgrade to Duramax viscous fan clutch.
Quick question , just getting fuel and next bowser was a brand new Holden Colorado with "Duramax" logo on the front guard , never knew they had the option , 500 newton meters he said , no trouble pulling the van and said it's the most powerful 4by he's ever driven .
Question is are they any good .
Cheers Phil, just meant that the US military apparently want their 6.5s running at a minimum of 88D op temp and others are suggesting lower thermostats. The yank forum sites I was researching earlier on did seem to consensus GM owned 88D thermostats also.Quote:

Cheers Peter, a big donk Duramax fan sounds great for blokes running belt driven. Any links or sites you've seen mate that show their cfm throughout rpm range? Cheers MarkQuote:

Its a 5 speed trip tonic.
I believe they are oem box in the titan behind a V8 in the U/States.
Std equipment in GT35 skyline, behind 3.5 V6.
I'm also guessing possibly in Elgrand with the same V6 as above skyline.
The Elgrand also came out 4x4 so very possible this is a easy conversion.
My question is this=== are they really any good, Ratios etc
Any good in a patrol behind the LS1 etc ??.
FYI---Wholesale autos are doing this box as an option.
Thanks MB and nissanewby, will double check the specs 2.8 ltr! Don't care much for small donks putting out big HP but then again the wife's 3ltr hand grenade 2002 GU is faster than my GQ .
