Thanks guys for all the help. I gave the system a better bleed and it looked like I may have had some air in the system. Now it seems to run better and bout half way on the old reliable nissan temp gauge so should be all good. I am going to build a better scoop to get the air down to the radiator so...

Thanks for the quick replies. I tried a 0.9 and 1.1 cap. It pushes into the overflow at real low temp the coolant is still real cold. I am wondering if the thermostat is not flowing enough coolant. I will try bypass the electric pump and try it from there. Heater doesn't really matter much that demi...

Hi Guys, I have a td42 safari truck with the radiator mounted on the rear and I am using a davies craig pump with the lcd controller. I find that with the electric water pump installed it is pushing coolant into the overflow tank even at idle. There must be some kind of restriction. Who is running t...

Restoration looks fantastic. Nice work mate.

The holset turbos are good quality. I think its Steve Murch the turbo guru who sells them in Auckland. Might be worth getting in touch with him if you havent already as he can provide some good advice. I have had external wastegates on previous cars, the only thing I would say is buy a good quality ...

It didn't cost that much, I bought some stainless steel and the nuts and bolts then its just the time to make it. I can't remember in terms of a dollar figure.

Hi all, it has been a while since I have had any time to work on the truck. I have been lucky and got a bit of stuff done over the last few weeks. http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae160/kcinshaw/Mobile%20Uploads/20141109_171708_zpspdsnskry.jpg My road mud guards arent fitting the best with the new...

Hey Crash. I am keeping my transfer case and took my old gearbox the scrap metalers about 3 months ago.

I have managed to get a bit of work done on the truck recently. I picked up a pto winch and all the bits. I didnt like how much it stuck out so I made a new winch mount. There a few pics below: http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae160/kcinshaw/Mobile%20Uploads/20140924_074824_zpsrw2hsz3_edit_1411877...

Any updates mate? Build looks good.

Hi Trundle, do you have any photos of the amount of light the leds put out compared to factory lamps? How do the cooling fans hold up to mud etc?

kcinshaw

Hi Trundle, do you still have any of the sqaure led floods for sale? How much are they?

kcinshaw

Nah I dont think so. Only put it in today. Yeah not bad actually. Did you see me parked there?

Hi all, I have a gme tx3600 with a mc522bc mic. When I turn it on it only comes up with 1 channel. I have tried pressing all the buttons incase it is lockes but no sucess.

The channel select buttons beep when they are pressed but they dont change the channels. Anyone know how to unlock them?

If I can find a PTO gearbox I will use the standard winch cradle (maybe shorten it a bit and make it smaller) other wise some round a tube bumper and sliders etc rear bar will much the same. Bar work is last on my list at this stage. My list at the moment is: 1. Adjust rockers and check for wear 2. ...

To do list is getting smaller now.

Hi All, I have the following bits for sale or swap. I am interested a GQ safari pto box or a parts wash bath or a 35" mud tire I can use for a spare. Auto box with shifter, flex plate, tq converter + associated bits like shifter, computer, pedal etc. note: The box made a buzzing noise when the ...

My auto trans developed a buzzing noise so I changed it for a manual transmission. It has pretty much solved the problem it is far better to drive now. Next step is to get it tuned and maybe get a boost compensator fitted? Does anyone know how much this usually costs? And is it worth getting the pum...

My auto trans developed a buzzing noise so I changed it for a manual. This has pretty much solved the problem it makes it far more drivable. I figure the auto trans must have been on its way out.

Progress looks good mate. Are you going to run a internal cage to tie into the exo?

kcinshaw

Thanks mattman and sublime. Guard did take a while. I copied the idea from a mates truck. Went for a drive up takapari road today for a test. Tires are awesome and stay pretty clean. It works pretty well considering it has a open diff. Its flexs pretty good in my opinion. The only issue is thr diff ...

To fit the safari rear diff do I need to use the ring and pinion from the terrano rear lsd diff?

I have a swb safari auto TD42 running 35s. When cruising along at 100km/h it is now running really high egt around degrees. Note my sensor is mounted post turbo. What is the best way to sort this problem out? I can think of 3 options. 1. Turn fuel down as my fuel pump does not have the boost sensor....

I welded the rear quarters up tonight. What a terrible job. It was pretty tough to get in there with the grinder and mig torch. But at least it is all done. I just have to paint them and put some flares on. Crash, yep I am going to use garden edging.

I have been doing a bit of work on the truck recently so I thought I put a update up.

Electrical switchboard manufacturing companies usually are the cheapest for welding flex. What current does a td42 pull on start?

I just installed a 50mm suspension lift using efs shocks from 4x4bits.co.nz. they are really good to deal with and shipping was fast.

I am unsure how much to extend the bump stops. Is there a standard bump stop extension length for a 50mm lift?

kcinshaw

The setup runs pretty good I havent had any problems with it yet. Unsure the exact difference it makes but it keeps it cool to touch. Got my first dent the other day by dropping the rear end into a rut. Once I chop the quarters it will be gone and I will have a bit more clearance. http://i967.photob...

kcinshaw

Yeah fitted it after the turbo cause it arrived after I had already had the turbo fitted and the lines plumbed in. I might consider moving it later on but for now it seems alright.
