Very curious about this Phil. Did you use another washer bottle/motor for it or?Quote:

One similar to this I’ve seen done locally mate :-) http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2018/03/7.jpg20L tucked away for steepest emergencies can definitely work short term. Silvans ‘White’ version I believe can be used potable too?Quote:

I personally prefer the 200L version out the back of our paddock Navara beast, keeps the wheelspin flames under control ! http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum.../2018/03/8.jpg All jokes aside, blokes I know do benefit greatly from the 20L jobbies plumbed up for radiator emergencies ;-)

Not today but yesterday. Got the Patrol serviced and the water leaked fixed. I change my oil and filters at every 5Kin including air. Now that I have a company car I guess this oil change will see me til the end of the year. Lol. Took it it for a spin this evening, as I hadn't driven it for maybe 6 weeks. Everything felt so weird as Im used to driving a Territory.
I've sent it done a few times and the guys think it's definitely working when going gets tough !!Quote:

I mean who the f... Used the rear washer anyway lol. Can't see the window and the thing leaks anyway.

It’s common for the guys with Turbo rice burners to put a spray kit in front of the intercooler

Mark, I have started out using a 2L washer bottle setup to assess its effect. In theory the spraying of cold water onto the hot coil will amplify the cooling effect as evaporating water releases energy, hence the coil will cool more effectively. What remains to be seen is the amount of water and the effect/time lag on anything tangible. Ultimately I will hook up a shurflo pressure pump into the 120L SS water tank I use around camp. For weekend trips I don't need that much water, mostly beer, so its a bit of an experiment right now, cost around $25 plus my time.Quote:

The key is getting the right droplet size and volume of droplets to contact the hot radiator. I expect to use this on long low range/high rev climbs only, then maybe some 'pulsing' at the top of the hills if the temps push over the 105 Deg mark. Unfortunately I have not found any realestate to install a silvan pump/tank set-up, so the shurflo and ss water tank will suffice. I did buy a cheap 12V solenoid valve for the instant cut-off in ebay for $6, so will see how that goes. I have tried to engage with a large spray nozzle manufacturer to select a nozzle, but the arrogant dick basically told me i wasn't worth the effort, so next time I have an industrial project requiring spray nozzles, he won't get a call - what goes around comes around. I keep you informed as this develops.
The choices are to either preferentially work on the beast or fix sagging plaster or paint gutters - which would you pick????Quote:

Yesterday, I filled the water tanks up (90lts) ready for a few days away next week.
Still undecided if I'll hit the sand, dirt or bitumen! PML.

I know gq guys swear by braided line upgrades, but has anyone done it on a gu with much improvement? Otherwise depending on cost, I may just replace the damaged one with a oem replacement

If I don't have to, I definitely won't be. I'll never get back what I've put into it.Quote:

Why?
Cause, apparently, "It's a 1999 Y61 GU Patrol TD42 ST Series 1 Coil Cab Chassis" repeated twice is not a specific enough model description for the wanker parts interpreter to get me the correct F#%$^# bits!!!
FFS... time to have another Beer, watch the footy and consider in what order to dismember his vital body parts on Monday
You need to be more specific ET. Is it metallic or standard paint? Jeez lay off the guy :DQuote:

Bought a spare steering box and cheap GME3200UHF together for $120 all up
Got it dirty [emoji4]

Installed a 'quick t verter' device to the charge circuit of the main alternator. Its a rectifier pack that splits the load across 18 diodes instead of the standard 6, hence allows for the rectifier diodes to individually run cooler and increases charge efficiency. What I have found since installing it is that the main battery voltage does not drop when on high beam, all driving lights on. Before installing it the voltage would gradually fall and the alternator could not keep up - is a small mitsubishi pajero 100amp unit installed by Brunswick Diesel as part of the Chev conversion. There is a bit of minor work to do to the alternator, but looks good. here is the link to the device. I and @MB have purchased the 420amp units. They don't boost the output, just decrease the load over more diodes. Both our Chevs run hot and alternator death has become the norm of late - hoping this fixes it.

A successful day.
Installed the redarc gauge
Took it to the car wash to leave the mud behind.
Rotated the tyres well overdue, but it's now done.
Loaded up the trailer with all the bigger things that can stay in there for a few days in preparation for a Thursday night departure.
Fixed the Uhf issues, I hope.
And gave it a well deserved bath (between the showers) and vacuum.
Scrubs up alright. She'll be 21 towards the end of this year.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/03/230.jpg

Just ripped out the cruise control vacuum/motor and the pull-cable all the way to the pump.
Gained ample room for the Catch can. Perfect spot.

Cheers again Philstar for kindly getting these Quicktifier jobbies in mate! http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/03/243.jpgI’m running a bit behind your efforts mate but managed this arvo to bolt the 170amp GQTD42 alt back in after its birthday with 3 x phase wires at the ready! http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/03/244.jpg Just needs final connections now and away we winch/fridges/lights/fans galore up and running again for now ;-) http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/03/245.jpgQuote:
