Good onya mate!

Have you got the 3inch exhaust fitted yet? I cannot wait until you fit your intercooler!

Regards,

Paul (RLI)

It had a 3" exhaust fitted to the factory turbo, however the dump pipe (while still being a heap better than standard) for the standard turbo was only 2.5" and the exhaust then bolts up to this and flares out to a 3 ". So as it sits now the new turbo comes with a 3" dump directly from the back of the turbo and the flared exhaust is bolted to this. I think its a couple of pages back you will be able to see the exhaust and what im talking about.

The new 3" I am getting fitted next monday, its a 3" mandrell bent stainless system with no muffler (the current exhaust has a muffler) so I am looking forward to it sounding a little tougher as well.

Also another note on the fuel comsumption side of things. Whenever we towed the trailer we would be lucky to get 400-500 out of the main tank, with the setup as it is now it has done 430km on 2/3 of a tank so the difference here is very noticeable

G'day mate!

I am about to purchase my new turbo from United Fuel Injections! Ye-Haa baby! oops sorry for that little out burst of exuberance!

My wife ask me how much is all the mods going to cost, i told her $5,000.00. She nearly hit me with the farking frying pan! She said " i thought you told me the mods were only going to cost $3,000.00" As quick as a flash, i replied; nissannewby told me, do it once do it right! She then replied; "wait until i see this man" I then said gulp!!!!!!!!!!! Yes dear!

Truckies have taught me one thing about the 'wife' (aka financial controller, hand brake...) I definitely don't want one...

If she can afford horses, you can at least dress your pony!

Serviced the patrol yesterday and fitted the 3 gauge pillar pob with boost,pyro and oil pressure gauges. May have to get a handle for that side of the car

G'day nissannewby,

Question: Mate, when you wired up your gauges, did you wiring them into the tail-lights or via the ignition?

G'day Newby,

Question: With the installation of your new Ye-Haa TurboDid you replace your old clutch? I am thinking of changing mine this week with 250,000ks on the clock, before replacing my Turbo. I got caught 10 years ago when i fitted the DTS Turbo and intercooler to my 1999 GU 4.2 Diesel. 2,000ks later it started to slip.

I read that both the 4 Terrain Clutch and the EXEDY Safari Tuff Clutch Kits are the go. What is your opinion on clutch's?

RLI

The pyro gauge needs ignition power and then backlights are wired into the lighting circuit of the vehicle. I found a spare wire in behind the stereo face to supply a feed for the back lights and used to 12v socket supply for the pyro gauge.
