Thanks mate. My 3L was a spitting image of this when I bought that too and didn't look like that for long though. lol Just a few minor issues to sort out, and shes sweet. Underneath is getting cleaned up and sprayed soon for that new look. And I think my left hand side (passenger) engine mount is on it's way out. So I'm told, it is common ?????Quote:

With 90k I would think the engine mount should be ok. But yes the passenger side mount is common to wear and fail quicker just by the nature of the engine.
Cheers newby. I do get a little bit of vibration. But i'm so new to driving the 4.2 so, I don't know how much vibration is normal. Also looking at it and sticking a screw driver between the mount sandwich it is a tiny bit worn so, might get them changed next service which is soon.
Around the 1,200 rpm mark I get a huge rattle or resonance coming from behind the dash towards the left hand side along with the door on the centre hidey hole between the air vents rattles it's arse off. Funnily it seems to do it more we coming down in the revs or holding a constant verses going up. Going around a round about in 2nd is a classic example of this. I'd do find if I just ease the clutch a tiny bit the vibration or rattle stops.
Think I'm going to pull the dash out and sikaflex everything together.
Cheers Rocket. I have rattle "somewhere" under the hood near the passenger footwell... I think. Only begins appearing when engine is warm and when taking off in 1st gear and just as I start applying the juice pedal. Same thing in 2nd gear when gearing up... I think it could be the exhaust or somewhere within the dump pipe area. So the exhaust that'll be fitted soon, will eliminate that as a possible cause I guess.
Pulling the dash out is serious business I believe. Mine has the bubbles, and is way over Nissans 6 year recall date. It doesn't bother me as I can see them under the dash mat. Maybe a job for the future...
pulling the centre console part of the dash off is easy, then radio out, gets you at the centre. Glove box out gets you into the left had side. Then start glueing /cable tying shit together. Probably won't take much as you don't need to secure everything you just need to change the frequency at which it vibrates. I find with the centre pocket door, when it vibrate I only need to apply the smallest touch with my finger and it stops. Might stick a blob of bluetac on it and see if that works. If so a dob of silica nor a strip of double sided tape etc, anything just to change the frequency. Bit of trial and error.
Next time iseeyou Eric i need to give you an egr plate. Need to block that shizz.

I also removed the butterfly from the housing in the red circle, don't know what you call it.

Between this and the EGR block, made it rev much freer and boost earlier.
Thanks gents. Will do that this weekend then.
Give me a call dude. I should be around most of the weekend and ill give you a plate. Do you need a spare maf? 😆Quote:

Will do if i get a chance mate. Car is off from shop to shop tomorrow, getting various things done, might not see it for a week. As soon as i get it back might see you about that blank.
And what are these various thing getting done? Bar, snorkel, exhaust, lift, tyres, lockers, UHF... Shall I go on? :D
She's getting cleaned up and respryed under, windows tinted, snorkel and exhaust fitted... Rwc and then put through the vic roads pits for rego...
Was going to respray my chassis one day but never got around to it. Probably I'm better off fixing some of the surface rust on some scratches on the body first I guess
Mine is just surface corrosion everywhere so not bad but just want to get it cleaned and repainted for a neater look and to stop it getting worse.
I take it the new Pootrol has the standard suspension? If so I wanna look at something before you change it...
It does mate. Stock and will stay that way for a few weeks.
Thanks. I want to take some measurements of the rear brake bias before you get anything done if you don't mind mate.Quote:

Sounds good buddy. I'll have the car this arvo and most of tomorrow so i can swing by and you can measure away ...
First mod complete. Windows tinted. lol
This'll take me further off-road than anything else.
That's because no one will be able to see who's driving and give you shit if you get stuck 😁Quote:

Car cleaned up underneath and re-sprayed. Looks brand new. Happy. Also windows got windows tinted.
PS. Got a very annoying rattle, when taking off from first and then going into 2nd gear and sometimes in higher gears when RPM gets really low. Looked under tried to see whats loose and cannot pin point it... Not a biggie, just an annoyance.

Looks good there Eric.

It's really really annoying , more so outside the car lol. So I hope the exhaust fixes it as its coming from that general area.Quote:

Same here, when it does it people turn around to see what the noise isQuote:

Would a bottle of T2 settle it down

Oh yes. Thats what i was hesitant to do on the CRD... Now on the 4.2 however.... mmm
I don't think a bit of T2 will fix this rattle. LOL
You worry too much Eric.
