yeah, thought that was a crack up, had to turn around so we could take the picture, well worth it. Funny story bout the toyota, thats my mate Davo's rig, every trip i go on he is allways along which is handy incase either of us need a recovery. His rig has a 3 inch lift, 33's ect. Patrol is stock standard in those respects, he attempted a really nasty rock/loose dirt hill climb and failed on the first attempt, didnt feel right to him so he pulled away and let me have a go. Funny thing is the {Stock} patrol nailed it first go full noise hahahaha. Gota love the GQ's.
got to work on the gutter rust in the wagon lastnight to see how bad it is... and its bloody bad hahaha. Went out and got a stack of cutting disks so i can start chopping her up tonight. Will be cutting all the rust effected areas off and then plating and fibreglass bogging to get a good finish.
All going well you should not know ive been at it with the grinder when im done.
Here is a few shots of one of the sides once i hit it with the wire wheel to see how bad it was. Other side is just as bad if not worse.

Also wondering if someone can help me, i have the crappy fake rear lights in my truck that are this style http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Pa...item5ad46c33fd
But i am thinking of installing this style as i will be doing a quater chop and custom rear bar soon so will be getting rid of the below working lights. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-PA...item5ae2bbe348
Are they interchangable or are they different in the way they mount up ect?
Cheers
just bought this off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=130604162838 and a boost guage aswell. They seem to be good kit and are on specialat the moment, got the boost for 65 and the EGT for 120. Bargain. Now ive just got to suss out how to install em and then the boost will be jacked up.
Shame mate, thats a bit of rust thats come up so let us know how you go with it!
By the looks of the lights they should just screw straight in to the exiting holes I would imagine.
Bloody good price for the gauges too. I just did mine a few months back and It's an easy job mate but just ask any questions if you get stuck.
I just tapped into the clock for power for mine.
yeah, nasty stuff rust. Should be a fairly straight forward repair though.
Hoping the lights are a direct fit, sould be by what the add said, guess ill see lol. Looking forward to the guages rocking up so i can get more ponies outa the oiler, the last owner had a tame tune done to give it better fuel ecconomy pffftt! hahaha.
Installing the guages should be ok, i have a 3+" dump pipe with the hole for the EGT sensor in place after the turbo so should be ok depending on how siezed the bolt is, not sure where to pick up the boost pressure from though, do i have to make any fittings or can i hook it up to something that is in place allready?
Here is some info on my install but doesn't really help you much with that question. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...gauges-to-a-GQQuote:

You could also just put a bung on the elbow that goes into the inlet manifold. When I got it dyno'd after the turbo install the guy drilled and tapped a hole there anyway for his dyno tests, etc...
thanks ab, ill have a gander.
Progress! Ended up getting a good start on the rust today and starting the guage install.
Here is the Guage install. Ended up doing it a bit different to normal so i could conceal all the wires ect and have a nice neat set up without the guages being in my way on the pillar. Also found out it is illegal to have them mounted to the pillar so was another reason for using that flat bit of space on the dash.

First of all i hooked up the EGT sender to the dump pipe. Luckily the bolt came right out with no problems and i just wacked it in.

Then i drilled a hole in the dash through the dash mat so i could feed the wires right up to the guages and have the wires come out the base of the cups. If you do this make sure you go around the air con vents and not through like i allmost did lol.

Then mounted the mounts under the carpet to conceal the cup base and cut the grooves for the mounts to poke through.
