Haha! I call it a grenade affectionately, but I get ribbed about it by a few mates, although they do respect the capabilities of the car and its engine. As long as the pin stays firmly in place, I’ll be happy.Quote:

Hi Fletch,
Cheers mate. Yes, I think they are a great little motor. Just have to get around some of the inferior control systems that let them down.
Nice truck mate, love the grenade sticker, hope it looks after you.
Love the sticker...lol.............Drive your Rig with pride mate its a good looking outfit.

Nice truck, good to see it being put to good use.
Any details on the cost of the computer and the programs you are using? I have been thinking along the same lines (trying to get some of the crap off the dash) but have only seen the commercially available jobbies like VMS (?). Can the engine meters be applied to a 4.2?
Thanks
Hi Spoons,
A car PC similar to mine would most likely set you back around $1200 to $1400 depending on features and the Ozi $$. I bought most of the components from Mobile Computer Solutions in the USA and built it myself, but you can buy complete units.
Much of the software that I use is free. Some of the better stuff needs to be bought, but none is too expensive. If your 4.2 is a factory intercooled 2003 or later, it will support diagnostic software. Check out ECUTalk which is also free.
Cheers,
Chaz
New you would be in here somewhere Chaz. Love the rig. I have show your site and mods to ALL my 4wd mates in hope to enlighten the masses of the wonder that is the ZD30. mines got 240000 on it and is still going strong.
CHEERS
