What did you do to your Patrol today!

[mudski]

I'm a bit confused Marky Mark. There is 3 versions of RX Diesel. RX Diesel, RX Super Diesel & RX Super Diesel CJ-4E9.
So RX Diesel "Super" superseeds RX Diesel ? As in, it's replacing it?
From some quick googling , the Super version has extra additives & is aimed at newer CRD motors whilst still being ok for older motors... But, thats google results, take it with a grain of flour.

Repcos special lasts another week and tomorrow they gonna get more stock, I might grab a few 20L kegs at that price.

When oil companies revise an oil, they will then use that revised oil to then revise the version under under it. Well thats what they did back in my day. Lol. For the TD I would be using the RX Diesel CI-4 variant. The CI-4plus would be better. But for my situation, where my Patrol is not a daily and gets the oil dumped at every 5K, The cheapest is fine.

Took a hacksaw blade (body saw) to the GU guard and opened up a hole to receive the 4" recessed snorkel. Yet to be fix in place.

I've been saving up for a long time for this. Replaced original radius arms w/castor correcting bushes with these superior hybrid superflex radius arms.

Much better. Still needs a wheel alignment, but based on my initial test drive it had improved.

Dump wrap and heat shield

Part of my induction upgrade to 4"(snorkel/airbox), I removed the Dump pipe, replaced turbo to exhaust gasket, applied wrap, fitted up a heat shield and applied thermal barrier against firewall. Wrapped down past clutch solenoid and have some heat shield mat'l left over and will protect solenoid.

Exhaust all back installed. Only need to put cooler back on today, general clean up and fire it up.

Edit: I forgot to mention the cuts and bruises. haha

The wrap I used on mine you can put your hand on it when it would be screaming hot pre wrap. Works really well.

How did you do wrap "burn in"?

Have read to "burn in" at eng idle, bring up to op temp and let idle for further 15min. Did yours smoke much(not mine)? Think mine needs to be driven and get some egt's happening.

Completed install of 4" Airbox and snorkel. Also had to re position CC and Dual Aux battery charge select switch(also changed type) as needed more real estate.

Also wrap dump pipe and went past clutch slave and put a heat shield on dump pipe adjacent to firewall and applied "Car Builders" peel and stick aluminium thermal barrier to firewall adjacent to dump pipe.

Love those Nutserts....

I fitted a Boggard Turbo Timer kit and it worked straight out of the box, no stuffing around except having to modify the connector to suit the nissan plug - but this was clearly outlined in the instructions. No smoke involved, but managed to temporarily lose the screws that hold the steering column assy together. Searched high and low, totally evaporated - was going bananas by this stage so found some others, then just as i was screwing in the last screw, noticed the rechargeable lamp sitting on the piss. Lifted it up and all screws were attached to the magnet under the base - yup, unbelieve-it!
