So ive had a few spare moments to look at doing my egr block today before heading of to a job and ive notice a few things. Ive noticed some gasket crap and what looks to be a new gasket sticking out from the egr pipe on the intake side and a yellow pen mark on the vnt thingy on the side of the turbo. Im wondering, could my egr be already done and it has been adjusted to suit via the turbo? I still plan to pull it apart and see whats what but. Any thoughts?

@Stump2jz have not got my vehicle at the moment but that plate is most likely a gasket but can't say for certain unless removed. May have had a split EGR pipe running behind engine to exhaust manifold. Best to block EGR at both exhaust and inlet manifold.
The yellow mark on actuator rod is the witness/position mark for correct adjustment from factory of VNT actuator rod, eg: vacuum required to lift actuator rod so the lever (the bottom plate in pic), lifts to hit the grubscrew/stop which controls the turbo exhaust wheel vane operation. Do not change it unless you really know what you are doing.

Your compressor wheel housing (turbo inlet) appears to have a lot of oil smear, check the hose clamp and inlet elbow bolts. Get yourself a catch can in you do not have one.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Have a catch can fitted, just got to do the egr block now. Will probably do it at the manifold as i will be doing a 3 inch stainless exhaust asap.

Hi Timbo,
I am new to nissanpatrol.com.au, and am the owner of a 2003 GU 3 litre patrol.
I recently had the inlet manifold removed and cleaned as the old girl had lost heaps of power. This then prompted me to looking into blanking off or removing the erv.
Your post is so helpful, and I will be getting a plate made and fitting it myself.
Just one question - once plate is fitted at the inlet manifold end, is there any additional requirement for oil catch pot or computer re programming ?
I see Timbo's post of 2010 re blocking off the EGR.
Son has just brought at 2001 Nissan Patrol. Since 2010 has anybody done as Timbo post and were there any issues. For example after blocking off did any sensors play up or engine faults appear.
Thanks advance.
