It sounded great as you left
We have just put a 3.5" exhaust on the one I am doing up here. Sounds real nice.
Finally had a couple of hours kid free!!
Replaced the 4" inlet with a nice wanker shiny alum one!
Also installed the line for the td42t vacuum to a T on the alternator Vac line, dual Vac!!!
Brakes are a lot better now!
Would it be worth getting a bigger canister now?http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/40.jpg

Ooh shiny. . Yeah nice cool mod. Yeah don't know if bigger can would be good or not probly help in those long idling crazy down hills but with double vac might not need it. . Better go testing.Quote:

We were way off too. The line tucks right up under the sump mounting to the timing case and block as below.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/43.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2017/07/44.jpg

Oh wow, yeah that looks heaps better. I wonder if that sound deadening mat on the sump does much, might try it out one day if i have any leftovers. .

I was thinking why we didn't spot those vac line mounts on your silver top and then thought maybe you don't even have it as that wasn't needed back then of course.Quote:

Can't believe the good members on that trip here haven't bagged me out yet, bloody good blokes!!!
So I'm sitting in my Gq in thick snow, Saturday morning cold as F ready to do a day trip of tracks.
Trying to reach operating temp so pull the idle out and nothing happens????
Annnnd it turns out my IC and piping is 100% fine!!!
At that moment I pulled the idle screw out and no response it clicked I have an issue with my throttle cable!!!
Low and behold the bloody nuts have been slowly working loose over the last month...lol
I blame Matty really, totally his fault for not asking me to check if the bloody throttle control on the injector pump has been slowly winding out over time!
So Matty vic asks for a 10mm, then a 12mm, then a 13mm in which we thought 13? And then finally a 14mm spanner, 23 seconds later my beast is back, better than ever!!!
Embarrassment!!

I don't drive it much, when I came back from the last trip it was only used twice down to town so I didn't notice it but this long drive to Licola must've wound it further to a umm more noticeable change!!!

I'm with @MudRunnerTD - DICKHEAD , & @nissannewby - always check the obvious things . You wouldn't be the 1st bloke to rebuild the engine only to find the fuel filters are blocked 😝
@nissannewby mate, sadly/sadistically enjoyed the whole saga by having the old 6.5 for once gaining on him up the highway ;-) Oh well, short lived glory, he's found & fixed it now :-)
Thats right mark take it while you can I suppose. If only Andy would take my advice and turn the wick up again on the old girl then he will be further out of reach.Quote:

28-30 will be plenty. Get cruise egts up a little and bump some fuel in and she will be sweet.Quote:

Stalling big Cwappy Twactors down steep compression slow view tops will serve me just fine for now ;-)
I'm amazed by the egts on this set up!Quote:

They do a lot of towing toys up there and hutch had 3 tonne and old mate cruiser said go in front to set the pace, he said it's ok you take it, old mate toeing half weight.
Hutch playing games overtaking on long hills and they were shocked.

Nah he's already half way down through inland Qld unfortunately mate.Quote:

Thread dig!
Been a while since I've done anything on the old girl but finally saved enough to fix the front diff!
Booked in to get the front and rear gu diffs, braced, cv and brakes obviously and gu steering box at Patrolapart!
Getting them to spray both diffs black so I can look like a fancy wanker too!!!
