Vacuum leak test results on GQ RB30 Patrol

[GQ TANK]

Did you find a caby manual?

The tb42 and RB30 carbys are basically the same - different jets sizes, rb30 has the honey comb heater and I think the autochoke setup is differant

I found a similar one mate, but not the same.

If you look at my old thread,

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...-manual-needed

there are three pages of that particular manual.
I've been looking for the entire manual of those three pages, but couldn't locate it.

I was directed to below manual,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzy...jN2NhZDZm/view

which was a generic one similar to the RB30 Nikki carby. It was helpful.
I have a back up carby which I have dismantled and tried to repair couple of times, but still idle revving way too high.
I'm planning to tear it apart and fix it when I get a chance.

I couldn't tell the difference of TB42 and RB30 Nikki carbys just by looking at them.
They look pretty identical without having each one of them in hand to compare.

If you are right, then the carbies are interchangeable with the exception of the jets, which can be swapped over.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm basically after a complete manual for RB30 Nikki carby and Patrol RB30 fuel system setup(vacuum lines, etc).
I couldn't find the detailed information I'm after in Haynes manual & the factory manual.
I'm not too sure about the Gregory's manual.
I'm looking for a PDF or scanned copy of Gregory's manual.
But, I don't think Gregory's has any more information than Haynes, but good to have a one anyway.

Cheers
Dom

Thanks mate.
No, I'm pretty sure you got better things to do with your time than spending hours scanning 300 pages.
I thought you have the pdf version already with you.

I've been wondering whether the carby pages I mentioned in below thread were actually from Gregory's.
If that's the case, those pages would be really handy to have.

Thanx Billyj,
I've been actually looking for a PDF version, 'cos it's so handy to use than
printed books. I've given up on printed books(not exactly)
The books I find on paper and that I need, I scan them and keep them as PDF,
for the sake of convenience(easy to read with a laptop, tablet, etc & never wears out).
I'll see if I can offer this guy an offer he can't refuse.
I'm also searching for a VL commodore manual, for obvious reason 'cos
it covers RB30 as well as turbo stuff.

This should help me.
