what sorta patrol you get? must be good to be able to get out and about!
Installed catch can few weeks ago, did around 3000-4000km and got about 100mls out of it. also got the front of engine block oil leak replaced under warranty, whilst the job was getting down they had the gear box dropped and informed me on the condition of my clutch, didnt have too much left on it. went down the DMF road again just for comfortability and probably better for the car itself. i didnt have to pay for labour which was great, as it was under warranty, so only paid 2,000 grand for it. also went all out and got major service done so feels like im driving a new patrol around! bar the red dust haha. clutch still just needs to run in. hopefully hitting the tracks this weekend coming so hopefully some piccies!
Pm clunk he'll be itching to get out this weekend in his new car I reckon.
hi jarrah and shan-747 drop along to the westernpatrol club who meet at belmont sport and rec club in belmont on the 26th 7pm we usually get there around 630pmQuote:

anyway, shes running well now, i have noticed a leak up near the injector pump, which i have recorded and will monitor over the next few weeks, if it gets worse then i will take it in for another warranty check up! this is the link to the video, if you have any info or tips, let me know!

Attachment 45826

Attachment 45830
also got all the bits and pieces for rear barn door table.
Attachment 45831
will put up small build of table as well. will be starting tomorrow. ill also be putting on fuel manager pre oem with 30 micron. if any pointers on that let me know! cheers!
also went for a little play up powerlines up near mundaring wa

Did this rear barn door table today. Will put some photos up of most of the steps. I didnt want to drill into the frame of the barn door so put brackets behind hinges.
Dont really have that many tools so made do with what i have!
Attachment 45848
Just cut the 'u' channel to get the little brackets to go behind the door card
Attachment 45849
Bit of spray paint, the ply had a couple of strips that didnt absorb the paint enough so looks odd at the moment, will try for a fix
Attachment 45850
mounting the hinges to the card before re-attaching to the door.
Attachment 45851
using the brackets at the back with little nuts
Attachment 45852
put them on loosely first to make sure all good
Attachment 45853
tightened everything up with locktite as well, and then cut the screws off a bit so they didnt stick out too much. they fit inbetween the door frame where the cavity has the plastic over it.
Attachment 45854
got the wire trace, heat shrink over the loop, crimped, then heat shrink over the crimp as well, looks pretty tidy
Attachment 45855
attaching the elastic straps to hold the table up
Attachment 45856
again just took the extra length off so it doesnt scratch on the paint of the door frame
Attachment 45857
inside of the door card showing the brackets. they are different lengths to fit into the different spaces
Attachment 45858
counter sunk screws holding the 'u' channel on
Attachment 45859
attaching table to card before re-attaching to the door
Attachment 45860
all construction done. just didnt have long enough screws to put the hooks on for the elastic straps. also need to give it a quick lick of varnish on the top of the ply. leaving the black just the matte black as it blends in well with the original door card
Attachment 45861
Attachment 45862
Attachment 45863
any questions just ask.
Looks good mate
cheers stropp!
well with the table thought i might need some light! $10 for 5 metres off ebay! just wired them up off my rear power panel thats hooked up to aux battery, then ran it across and through the door and up to the brake light. ended up doing two strips so had to cut and solder couple more wires on. so far so good! really lights it up well and not too in your face.
