Dyno printout?
Did any of the parts replaced indicate if they were causing your noise.
No one will know what caused it, as a few parts replaced at once..lol
X 2 on the print out
Hey Mat.
I think the issue may have been from the initial fill... I'm not sure. All I know is air was trapped somewhere .
So at the workshop yesterday we filled everything up, the radiator and the header to the top and engine ran up to operating temps. Kept topping up as it went a long and air came out and then everything settled. Header tank full. And yeah the bloke said just drive it and recheck as these are self burping. Exactly how you explained it to me Mat.
I then drove the car home, which is less than 3km's. Got home popped the hood, header tank just about empty... Shock 'n horror lol.
So I let the car cool down. Topped up the header tank to max. Closed it and went for another drive. Came home all good.
I then checked this morning, stone cold car, header tank again about 1/4 full... So then I decided to have a crack at the radiator. Filled all up, stuck the funnel into the radiator and slowly ran it up to temp. Once thermostat opened bubbles began coming out and eventually stopped... Header tank and radiator completely full. Closed up, went for a spin.
And throughout the day I think it has now settled... Header is 90% full. Might need another tiny bit added. Fingers crossed.
My first time touching the cooling system on my own so I was just winging it lol.
Question. When system is fully warm and pressurised, obviously don't open anything... But when is a safe tell-tale sign, that I can pop the system open to top up the header tank for example ?? Like squeezing a hose or a certain temp ? Waiting for the car to fully cool down is demoralising lol.
6-7kW~ than last time.

Strange I have never had to top up that much after doing a flush and coolant change but anyway its all good.
As for checking you can see into the header tank. So if its a little low when warm and the expansion tank isnt full then just top the expansion tank up. Dont fill it but juat roughly put it what you think needs to be drawn back in as it cools.
Was that dyno done in 4th?
Thanks
Yeah I'm absolute amateur at it, I only know from how you explained it to me and Mudski gave me heaps of advice but even then I found it odd that it kept swallowing coolant after 3 top ups.
But it's settled now will recheck tomorrow.
Dyno was in 4th . I was there for most of it ... I'm still regaining my hearing slowly and hearing ringing noises etc
Bloody straight through exhaust in a dyno room is dangerous.

What other mods apart from the CC IC? That looks like an above average result for a stock TD42Ti, especially with stock airbox.
Cross country cooler and 3 inch exhaust are all the performance orientated mods.
You think she's being pushed too hard ?
I know he did say turbo is or nearly is out of its depth running at 17 max.
Pump and especially the air intake are the bottle neck from now.
As my above comment I don't like this tune it'll be going back .
Or my try different tuner .

You should be able to get more out of that pump, and the air intake will handle more too but you will see a big gain by changing it.
Your turbo should be the limiting factor at the moment.
I think it's finally settled and burped it's self entirely. Header tank full to brim no bubbles. Good result.

have you a dual battery system ??
So after last dyno tune the idle and air con idle have been fucked good and proper... It's a long angry story. So I won't get into that.
I need to adjust just my normal idle. Not aircon idle. Just the usual idle.
It's sitting on 850-900RPM. Usually it's on 650 or there abouts. And aroud 750rpm Aircon idle.
@nissannewby I know you're a busy man. But when you get a moment give us a rough guide which screw I need to adjust ? Just normal idle. Forget aircon idle.
Thanks mate.
I will grab a pic for you mate and post it here. You want idle to be around 750rpm mate. It needs to remain at a similar or slightly higher rpm for ac, around 800rpm.
Sounds like they have altered the fuel screw which isnt great. Im hoping no one has mucked with the timing of that pump as well.
Hodge,
I found the idle on my old 4.2 used to wander about a little so I used to have the hand throttle set at idle speed to take care of that, if I didn't it would stall occasionally .
Yours might be similar ...... It may not necessarily have been the tune up.
Whatever was done during the dyno definitely altered the idle and air con idle. It happened last year as well. It just idled way too high. So went back and they fixed it in 5 minutes.
This time exactly the same thing happened. Except ive so far been back twice and they cannot adjust it properly.
Prior to any of this my idle was perfect no fluctuations unless aircon is on, which is when it idles up 50-100 rpm.

I would just go back and tell them to adjust it back. It left their shop like that. So they should deal with it.
Does it have a fast [high] idle switch like some carbies have???
Started putting the draws together. I got lucky since it came out of identical body GU, it was a bolt off / bolt on job. Just had to extend the child anchors and adjust the cargo barrier brackets.

Just need a rear door table now lol
Nice work mate, did you work out how you're going to set up your 2nd battery and BCDC now?

How did your lightbar go on the bullbar?? Had a chance to use it yet
and if so did it shake at all ?. looks like it was a very firm installation
Yeh John it went on. It hasn't moved. I have a fair few bump stops on my way out of my area, so if they haven't shaken it down yet, nothing will... Looks good.
For a 32" bar from 4Wd Supa centre it's very bright and quality seems ok. How long will it last? Time will tell.
Phil @PeeBee opened my eyes on how different LED's / bars react to different voltages. He has some of his running at 30V and output is apparently very good.
I'll toy around with some regulators and step up converters as I have some laying around.

Finished fitting the draws last night. Very very happy with the result considering the whole lot cost me a 6 pack lol. Just tinkering with the dual battery system now and she'll be done !

Been 2 and half years since I stepped into this thread. Thought I'd give it some love.
Fitted up the new adjustable draglink today, returned the pitman where it needs to be and steering is straight again. Also fitted a new bush to the panhard rod on the diff end. This had no movement by hand, and I can't tell whether it was stuffed or not by looking at it or feeling it. The chassis end, spherical one I didn't' do because I got sent the wrong one...
Soapy water, ratchet strap, vice and a press made light work of it all!

She's hit 150k today.
Going alright for a 14 yo car. Less than 10k per years average... Love driving her. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2020/03/29.jpg
Crickies she's a spring chicken, mines nearly at 400 but thats on the cluster from the engine conversion original bits have done bout 460. Old man's ZD30 just about to crack 400 too still going perfect lol. .

Agree @Rossco there might be a few clean ones getting around, but how many have 1/2 million on them.
