ROLLED GU !, the full story with pics & video

[wildgu6]

yeh it only "looked" stock, it actually had a 500HP (flywheel hp) engine !





The night that pic was took at the drags, it ran a standing 1/4 mile (0-400M) in 11.4 @128mph, it would have run faster with slicks, but i wanted to run it just as i drove it around, (on 185/60/13 tyres)


This is the timeslip from the night....

I was looking for "any" 4x4 before i wrecked the torrie, then i thought, GQ Patrols came with RB30s, maybe i should put the engine into a GQ, and this is what got me looking around for my first patrol, only, a GU came up at the right price and the rest is history.....








Yeh me too, be great to catch up.

You sneeky devil Steve, Awsome buddy, that is the shiz hahaha and you kicked all their butts Top stuff mate

Some new Patrol Panels turned up yesterday...... (genuine Nissan)

Roof Skin...




I bit the bullet and got a new genuine gaurd as well....




Then i proceeded to attack the new gaurd with a air saw and drill, making holes in it for the snorkel !


I panel beated the wiper cowl straight, then test fitted the gaurd, this gave me new perfect lines to make sure the bonnet, wiper cowl, and LHF door frame are all sitting correctly




The new roof reinforcement and door skin should arrive from Nissan soon.

further evidence that you're a handy chap, Steve!

How many horsepower do you attribute to the little figure against the firewall in the Torana? Did he perform like Santa did at Bribie?

You're really lucky it was a soft roll mate. Damage looks reasonably easy to repair.

Ha-ha, zero HP from Cartman, the car would go slower cos he's a such a fat ass (he-he)

I "temporarily", stuck cartman on the firewall more than 10 years ago, the old 186 Turbo engine needed to be lined up dead centre first time, if not perfect, the carby would hit the bonnet, once the Turbo was fitted up, it was very hard to get to the ENG mount bolts, of course, the Turbo had to go on before the carby, so i used Cartman as a centre marker.

Yeh, its still a fair bit of work, but as rollovers go, not that bad !

Double post, so i may as well add another crappy PH pic .....

I've heard that the rb30 bolts up to the 2.8 diesel box. Anyone know if this is true?

Lucas

Not really sure Lucas, but i was told going back a couple years that the RD28Ti only suits its own running gear, was going to upgrade when blew a motor and was told had to change the gearbox as that box is only suited to the 2.8

Not really sure Lucas, but i was told going back a couple years that the RD28Ti only suits its own running gear, was looking at upgrading when blew a motor and had to do all the running gear for it to work
