When you block the EGR, the boost isn’t raised by the ECU, but it increases because the intake air pressure can’t escape out through the exhaust any longer and all the exhaust gasses are being used...

Hi Paul,
Synthetic oils are far superior to any mineral or even semi synthetic oil available today. I haven’t found a semi synthetic that was as thin cold, but didn’t get much thinner than any fully...

Boomtiki,

You don’t have a particulate filter, so you don’t need the Enviro oil. The reason you’re oil is so black is from EGR. You’ll see that people that say they block their EGR have much...

Yes. The ECU controls the vacuum solenoid which in turn controls the variable turbo to give optimum boost levels to allow EGR to flow. A conventional turbo can’t be controlled electrically, so the...

Dave,

If you’re prepared to spend some reasonable $$, say $1000 or more, consider a Wholesale Automatics valvebody. That will give you lock up in all gears, but If you’re on a tighter budget, at...

Don’t kid yourselves that Nissan fixed the problem on the later Di models. While we see lower numbers of 05 and 06 models with piston failures, there have been a few and we’ve seen a few cracked...

Hi Twisty,
The original Nissan DMatic is a clear hydraulic fluid which usually turns a honey colour after a while. If it smells burnt, it’s a good indication that the fluid has reached the end of...

It seems that the owners of Willow Springs aren’t going to renew their lease on The Bunkers Block, so Skytrek will most likely be re-directed away from the Loves Mine Range. I’m not sure when, but...

They don’t have a filter as such, just a fine gauze mesh that can be cleaned.
It sounds like you’re losing line pressure, which can be very difficult to find without recreating the symptom with a...

If it was a GQ, I would extend the lower arms because they don’t have much guard clearance, but on a GU definitely use adjustable upper arms. For a 3” lift, your upper arms will need to be about 20mm...

Hi matto9018,

It’s very hard to get accurate specs on the oil that Nissan recommend for the ZD30 apart from the JASO DH1, ACEA B3 and the warning not to use API CG-4 rated oil. They do recommend...

Yep, you just plug them into the OBD socket, just above the brake pedal under the dash.

Yes, I have used it for a while. It's a good choice if you still have EGR. I also used Mobil1 for some time, but have now changed over to Penrite SIN 0W-50.

Leigh,
Yes it does, The reason I wanted it mounted on the fridge is so that it wouldn't be on all the time that the fridge wasn't operating and so that I could monitor the temperature as well.
In...

With the Ozi $$ as good as it is, they’re not too expensive at all. Check out http://www.mo-co-so.com/

Depending on what system you wanted, you could get a car pc for well under $500 or spend up...
