Good point, there's only one hose on that diaphragm not 2 :oops: The plot thickens. Pulling the head will hopefully reveal more, mostly out of interest more than anything, it'd be fair to assume it's probably buggered with that noise and blowby. QD swap is looking like the best idea, seems it will b...

Got as far as getting the intake and half the exhaust out today. What a mission to dismantle, need a 5yr old Asian boy lol. Manifold is grubby but not clogged at all. Did discover the EGR was already blanked tho, without disconnecting the throttle plate, since these engines close or partially close ...

If it was ever running as it should be. Can handle that, don't expect it to be a race car unless a VG33 one comes up at a good price, I assume that conversion would be much the same with changing the fuel tank and lines as well to get the efi pump. Thinking QD is probably the best option overall esp...

3VILC

I thought they were meant to be roughly the same but QD has a fraction more torque. Not too fussed tho rather go for the reliability

Found a qd32t out of an R50 with trans at a good price so might consider swapping that in.
As far as I can work out so far apart from the wiring, just need to swap the cross member section of the subframe and it should all bolt up

3VILC

Rockers covers off, cams looks good no wear not broken, chain looks good condition and tight. Can't see anything unusual thus far. Glow plug tip is a possibility. Given the cost of a zd30 in reasonable condition I've even contemplated finding a crashed or cheap VG33 R50 and swapping that in, not sur...

Actually, of course, that blowby would be coming from the split in the rocker cover gasket! Duh. Lol that explains that at least. At one angle yes you can briefly make out just how much blowby is coming out visually. The sound changes as revs increase and worse under load. No water in oil or vice ve...

Yeah there's a fair bit of pressure in there the camera just doesn't show the amount of vapour coming out. It done 280 so thought maybe I'd picked a better one

3VILC

Nah tis auto. I'm sure it doesn't usually chug blowby that bad. The camera really struggles to focus just how much is coming out

3VILC

I suppose that's a good point considering the compression in a diesel, definitely a hole in something anyway. I'm kinda thinking the vapour coming from the back of the block means there may be a hole in that too although I'm hoping not. Pretty sure theres no seals or hoses down there it could be com...

Dropped valve was on my list of ideas..would've imagined that would be a more noticeable loss in power and a lot of misfiring tho.. exhaust note sounds normal, bit of smoke when revving but not heaps

3VILC

So somebody pulled the pin and the grenade seems to have blown, so before I start stripping it down I thought i'd take a video and see if anyone can pinpoint what the noise might be.. I suspect its burnt a small hole in a piston but since I've never killed an engine I'm not too sure what that would ...

3VILC

We went for a nosey anyway. Pretty wet in some places probably thanks to the previous weekends rain, I'm fairly sure we just found several ways to go round in the same circle so don't think we covered a huge amount of the tracks available, but a good day none-the-less. Big ups to KC4WD and DoC for m...

3VILC

I've got the parking/camp area marked on my map

its kindof towards the top right. King country 4wd club have all the info and maps on their website

3VILC

Anyone been up there recently, got a report or pics of the track conditions?

3VILC

Well noone started one, and its not the weekend anymore, but think I made an achievement, cant say I enjoyed it much tho haha. Don't like my mini that much anymore, might be time to trade it in lol. Alternator went on Friday, took fairly much all of Sunday afternoon just to get it! Without the help ...

3VILC

It certainly sounds like a reasonable option. Obviously its never going to work as well as dismantling. But does anyone know where to get this JLM stuff in NZ, or do Chase sell to anyone, can't see a dealer listing or anything on thier website? There seem to be several similar products suitable for ...

3VILC

If the Terrano ones are the same cochram Nissan sell them on trademe 220 for the set of 8 genuine bushes

3VILC

Found one of the pro-vent copies for 105 delivered so will see how that goes

3VILC

You can get about 40-50mm Max before you'll run into issues with CV angles and such, especially since the driveshafts are always turning. Never tried a strut spacer not sure if you can them for the R50, I suppose it would work just as well. Not sure how much drop is in the factory shocks but longer ...

3VILC

Ahhh roger that, thatd be why I didn't see one without

3VILC

Do they not all have the factory calsonic trans coolers? Mine does and so did all the others I looked at when buying

3VILC

So the general consensus is that the normal hollow can targeted at boy racers are useless on a diesel, and the Provents are the best. But I donk know if I can justify $200+ on a catch can. I've seen the home modified one on here a few years ago with a breather filter on the inside, anybody made one ...

3VILC

Haven't changed a huge amount really just tidied it up and got it all running. Next major plan is trying to get the back to flex as well as the front. Longer shocks will be the first try, but does have brackets on the chassis to 4-link the rear so could be another more complicated option, the 3-link...

3VILC

Roger that.

Finally I can say its had a good testing.
Took it up to Woodhill on Sunday. Went sweet as a nut all day everything ran mint didn't even have to adjust anything. Very impressed at how the little beast goes.

3VILC

Went up to Woodhill for the first time. Had a blast, new rig went really well very impressed.

3VILC

Sweet. Doesnt look too bad online, just that bloody wind, been cold and windy all day here too but no actual rain. Forecast still says some showers, but rainfall prediction has dropped to nothing significant, was showing rain 6-10am and 6-10pm which isnt going to matter anyway. Id say we might get t...

3VILC

Haha, yeah still waiting for something I ordered on Tuesday that I wanted for the weekend. I'll grab 2 when I get paid next week

3VILC

Finally lol. Maybe just in time for maiden voyage if you can get me one before the weekend haha. How much are they?
