Epic Workshop tour with Readies 4x4 Motorsports. There's some great action and lots of info on Patrols and engine conversions.
Great blokes always willing to help.
Ha ha ha ha........ " Here's another 3lt that's blown up" !!!!!!!!
Good watching.
That's a great video. I'm curious as to how they pass emissions and roadworthy when using the old silver top Td42's in the newer GU models......

Yeah I had watched that too. Anyone used readies for much before? Here's another blown 3lt :) I'm wanting to get my td42 tuned and wondering if they do it? And any good? I don't want a blown td42 ;)
I have used readies for a few bits and pieces, Clint is normally there and they have always been helpful. I would back his knowledge and expertise. If you tell them what you are after I would trust them to steer you in the right direction.Quote:

He said if he had known about our meet up he would have tried to make time to come along and say gday..
Very friendly and helpful but not one for forums as he gets tired of arguing with keyboard heroes.
Also said he also does work on the road and if there is say a few cars in an area he will come and give them a tickle instead of having to take them to him in Bendigo.
I went out hand had a chat with Clint around midday, I think you were on the phone to him when I was there. :) My td42 uses a bit of fuel so was talking about getting a tune, he had one look at my pump and said looks like someone's played with the max fuel screw.... :( someone who must have had no idea. Also took me for a spin down the road in one of his GU TD42's with an 18g and 12mm. That got up and moving, makes my 16g large and 11mm (over fuelling) pump feel very lame. Think I will have to get something done sooner than later.Quote:

Long drive for newby. Some 1800km one wayQuote:

This is what I was told by a few places when I asked about putting a 4.2 into my car. That quickly put a stop that.Quote:

So after seeing Clint out at Readies 4x4 yesterday and him noticing my max fuel screw cap was missing, mentioned that it looks like someone has played with it at some stage :(
Which might be the explanation of my pretty average fuel consumption. Anyway I just had a play and un-wound the screw a few fractions and the patrol feels noticeably smoother/doesn't seem to lack any power, and the EGT's seem more stable and it now needs a lot more right foot to get towards dangerous zones. Be interesting to see the fuel consumption of my next tank load. Not sure who played with the screw, maybe before I bought it or the shop in Darwin I had give it a tune when I lived there. I've learnt a lot from the forums and actually have a basic understanding of the pump that now before I'll let anyone touch it, they will be explaining what exactly on the pump they are going to touch.
Clint was very helpful and didn't once try to do a sell on me, simply said he could have a look and tune it to get it sorted if I wanted to bring it in to him. Finances are the only thing holding me back at the moment (uni student), and I'll see how my figures go for now but as soon as I get my intercooler (next project on wish list) I'll most likely take it out to Clint for a tune.
I wish we had a place like this in WA
that was great, thanks for sharing

But... Legally, you're not allowed. However, if you intend on keeping the car, then yeah you may be able to get away with it. But when selling, then it gets messy as rego papers won't match up etc...and then you're screwed. Knowing my luck i'd drive out of readies and get done by one of them Sherrif / drug / roadworthy nets they setup, and get shafted ! haha
So why would one bother doing it really...Big outlay for something illegal. You know what to do Eric ;)Quote:
