Hey mate, did you buy the gauges and pod as a kit or bit by bit. Also where did you get them?

Yea that's a down fall of unbreakable drive line.
The gu is a much nicer rig than the 80. So once you get your issues sorted I have no doubt you'll be a happy man.

ye the ups are starting to out weight the downs... as in before when i had to use to jump through the passenger door to get in.. then hit the key and no start.. i would instantly get the shits.. lol.. now doors sorted.. ice cold air-con on hot days like today.. sound system all hooked up.. boost/pyro gauges in.. all the electrical wiring cleaned up/sorted and semi easy startn when turning the key... haha slowly get there..

hi 4by4..
got everything from flea bay.. all from different sellers...
i was going to go with red arc gauges by I'm happy i went with the autometer cobalts...
they look really trick especially at night.. they suit my blue head unit and blue lcd on my uhf... I just ordered me some blue led lights for my dash cluster and some for my in cab middle and rear dome lights.. and a led strip kit for rear barn doors... gonna make her look like a spaceship at night... haha na.. but i do think it gives the bus a new modern look that the boring old standard lights in there at the moment...

Sub Tank empties into the main tank via a transfer pump ....

The transfer pump will also pump a small amount of fuel into the main tank every time you start the truck ( about 10 seconds of operation ), if the main tank isn't full.

Also, when you hit the sub tank button, it starts transferring fuel, but the gauge doesn't react straightaway .... There seems to be a small lag between fuel use and the dash gauge.....

Yes the patrols use a transfer system unlike Toyota. It has it's ups and downs.

The stock sub tank from memory is only 40 litres. So an 75 ltr tank is a good upgrade. Near double its capacity.

Another little nod I've done in my and is free that gets you more fuel capacity its the tank breather mod.

Simply remove the fuel pickup for the main tank. The gq is assessable threw the rear floor, not sure about the gu's.
But if you feel around the top of the tank over near the filler side you'll find a tube running about 50mm from the top of the tank.
This is the fast fill breather. Once fuel reaches this it starts coming up the filler.

So simply force this tune to the tank roof.
This will fill that air gap with fuel.
I get 115ltrs in mine. A mate can get 120... It all depends on how hard you push lol.
