Hey Fletch, looking good mate,
What is the Carter Fuel pump? Is that a replacement Diesel fuel pump? I only know the TD42 and a new pump is Massive bud?? Is that what you have done? If so what sort of performance upgrade are you expecting? Could you not just Chip it?
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy --> MudRunnerTD's GQ From the Ground Up
The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
The carter pump is acting to keep constant fuel pressure to the injector pump.. This was done on my old patrol and made it more responsive and drops the lug point of the motor couple hundred rpm.. I was able to go round a roundabout in 3rd without the engine lugging at all

So after a fair few phone calls today looks like I have decided on the lift kit I will be getting.. 2" Suspension stuff Flexi lift with Procomp shocks and 15mm Spring packers.. Should give me about 2.5" of lift with about the same flex as a 4" lift![]()

Was up your way yesterday picking up a petrol tank of a young bloke who is a diesel mechanic... drives a GU ute with 5 inch lift and all the good stuff.
