Getting those bolts out of the brackets is impossible but I got there eventually.
The difference is amazing. It’s like a new car.
Shame I’m selling the car and won’t get to drive it now. It was picked up during the RWC

From memory doing mine, I loosened the body mount bolts so I could lift the motor up higher. I only did the left on mine but doing a mates GU both were a nightmare. RHS worse I found.Quote:

Step one, fit mount to chassis
Step 2 fit bracket to block
Step 3 lower engine into engine bay and secure mounts
Step 4 hope it never needs replacing

By the look of all that oil you should be able to work it out from the colour .
OK. First check was p/s level and yes it's low. Then clean around, started and looked. Seeping out of the top.
Just bad timing or would the dirty bath have anything to do with it.
How to fix. Just tighten or has a seal gone.

Nah, mate 3-0
Everytime I go there.
Hydronic locked a surf.
Custom dents on the passenger side.
And now this.
Anyone tried one of those stop leaks?
Sent from my A1601 using Tapatalk
Thought I'd fit the radius arm spacers today ...
Lucky I started on the passenger side.
Spacer in. And axle fouls on the Panhard rod.
F*** a duck.

Looking at the power steering can someone tell me which is the return line top or bottom?
The front coolers are stone cold after a drive, I want to flush the system then try this stuff apparently it's meant to work.

Will be watching this because mine is leaking badly but think I need the rebuild kit .
Low pressure will be the line that goes out to the cooler.Quote:

So if I get that line and block it off before it goes to the reservoir, then start engine and continuously top up the reservoir unti it comes clean out of the same line.Quote:

Well kind of. Grab the line that goes into the little tube that comes out the side of the reservoir. Take this off and place into a bucket. Disconnect fuel solenoid as the pump will pump quicker than you can fill if the engine is running. Crank it a little and top up fluid with fresh stuff until its clean out the return line.Quote:

Well I done that, oil looks like it has gone through coming out the return line red as the new stuff. So why am I getting this leak of dirty oil coming from the threaded shaft on top of the box.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/11/19.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/11/20.jpgQuote:

Does anybody know what's under this plate. Can't seem to find it, not even in the manual.
Thinking that there has to be a o ring or something. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/11/21.jpg
Sent from my A1601 using Tapatalk
Your thinking is correct. Looking at this drawing you should not have power steering fluid at that adjuster. Looks like the box needs a reseal. The oil will be dirty from the grease in there hence the grease nipple. Attachment 76803Quote:

Should be possible. You will have to remove that nut to do so. Measure the thread poking out the top before removing so you can put it back where it was. I'm not sure that o-ring will resolve your leak though.Quote:

Well that thread screws down. Problem is the whole box needs to come out.
Might put it back together and just regease it for now.... http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2018/11/22.jpg

I've got wheel bearing grease, will that be alright?

Basically that gap in photo is WITHOUT spacers and is 5mm max. Spacer is 10-12mm.Quote:

I might have another go tomorrow.
But, I'm not sure it'll work. Mudski reckons take off the panhard rod on that side, fit arm and spacer and tighten up the rod and see.
So, weather depending, we'll see what happens.
Quick google reveals I am not the only one. And the superior product page mentions this as well.

I'll have a look at mine when I get home from work. I cant see why the bracket would be different from mine to yours...Quote:

Caster correction lifts caster bush center up therefore rotates axle housing top/brkt to rear increasing clearance between Panhard rod and brkt located on axle housing.Quote:

OK, same as mine and similar clearance.
Do you have adjustable panhard rod? Mine is OEM stock and have noted that the passenger side wheel axle center is positioned approx 40mm closer to the guard face where flap mounts as compared to the drivers side. This could be caused by the lift and the fact that I still have the stock panhard rod. This has not caused any drive or tyre wear issue it just annoys me. I am not sure how the axle alignment changes with corrected panhard rod length to suit lift.
Been removing some boost since I got the mighty GU back.
after talking with @mudski decided 25psi was a tad high so trying to get it to about 18psi.
Still goes like all stink imo egts are low about 150 - 200 degrees
Plus my mate at Outback 4WD is fitting my rear shock tower bolt on kit [Superior[
and also fitting an 85ltr water tank ,pump and switched spout to my Hilix tub camper
That will help balance to camper better.
Need heaps of jobs done hopefully all before Xmas
Installed a 12V fuel pressure transmitter and gauge between final fuel filter and injector block. Sits at a steady 10psi at idle then holds at 8psi right up to WOT position, which is as expected.
No, mine is factory panhard. And looking around the car , everything seems symmetrical.Quote:
