Ok so sorry for the thread dredge but I have questions. So I have a qd32 na Navara and its woefully slow. I have all the bits for Turboing it but I have 1 question. What do I do re fuelling? Will I need to do anything to the pump/ECU to get adequate fuel or will the ecu take care of it using its own ...

You should be able to get a new teflon liner from any welding supply shop.
If all else fails just go into a BOC and they should be able to sort you out.

My Partners car needed the same thing , and yep Pick a Part to the rescue I bet her car was a "95 Nissan Bluebird SSS" and you got the only engine mount for one of those things up there Na Mate a primera , and there was heeps of thoses mounts up there Same engine mount. And i bet all these stuffed ...

I always took my old performance cars to woolf mufflers in Mt Eden.

HOWEVER....a mate of mine owns the pitstop on great north rd in Grey Lynn.
Normally I wouldnt recommend one of the chain stores but AJ really does know his stuff and is well skilled with turbos and all their bits n shits.

MMMmmmmmme likey.

Have been wanting to make some of those for the Nav.
They look good and tough...like they could take a good beating.

Try white spirit.

It will take the sticky shit off almost anything.

I had this exact same problem last week. Battery was 1 month old but dead as a door knob.

Turned out it was the rectifier inside the alternator...$500.

Spoke to a mate last weekend and he works with electrics and told me a rectifier is a $2 part if you know where to get it from.

looks like i have a subaru sti top mount to play with, i also have a standard wrx one as well , also have the bonnet scoop although does anyone know about the water/air intercoolers like off the early legacys?? surely they are better than an air/air hard to find tho GT4 Celicas ran a water to air ...

This is what i got mine for.

A-line in Whistler

Am supposed to be goin for a ride tomorrow so i'll try it out then...if the rain holds.

Tried a gopro motorsport hero video camera? I got one just the other day and they seem pretty wicked. I havent tried it out mounted to the outside of the truck yet but it does mount by a dirty great motorsport approved suction cup...rated to 120mph so i read. http://www.launchhelmetcams.com/files ...

Is the hub square?

(no im not trying to be a smart arse)

I mean is it even slightly warped or bent?
Make sure its straight/flat/square...cos im sure being slightly out of square wouldnt help.




Just a thought.

So what size is good for a snorkel?

3 inch or 4?

A factory fitted top mount off a GTiR Pulsar is HUGE and is a really well flowing intercooler. Also you can pick them up really cheap off Tardme with all the mounting hardware you should need. Just dont make the Nissan error and mount it over the exhaust manifold...mount it as far back from the ...

Im not sure if your Navara is petrol or diesel or if it has a MAF sensor or map sensor but either way the air filter sits infront of any sensor so just about any kind of airbox and filter combination should work just fine. The air box from a primera or pulsar should fit ok with minor modifications ...

Any pics of that on or off the truck?
I am very curious.

I live in west Aucks...so it would have to be a SS one with a carbon SKULL tophat!

Im in a little town north of the Bombays and south of Orewa.
Its called Auckland...I doubt you have heard of it...its fairly small and has nothing of any importance.










ps, I hate living in Auckland.

tig welding stainless/mild or ali isnt a problem as i do a fair bit at work.

Also when i make up the mouth/head/top bit would it make a difference if i put a primary filter up there aswell or is that just overkill?

So I havent seen anyone on here who runs an NA QD32...and there is probably a reason for that too. But does anyone have any suggestions on how to make them a tad betterer. I dont want to go down the forced induction route as one of the reasons I bought this truck was because it didnt have a turbo ...

Really Depends on your time, effort, skill, cost. The only one there that I dont have is the dollars...(damn alternator packed up today so there goes this weekends trip to vegas with the bike). The time i have. The effort i can put in and the skill isnt a problem...(I got skills) But thanks for the ...

So I admit it...Im a tight @$$. I dont wanna pay the big bucks for a "store bought" snorkel so im gonna make my own. What is the best metal to make one out of? If its steel is it better to be stainless or is mild just fine and dandy? Or is Ali better? Is A plastic or fibreglass...(hell i can even do ...

Sell the Faith...its not like u were any good on it anyways au!

Heheheh...dont you dare sell the faith!
I'd have to dissown you then.

Ok, so im wanting to mount up a set of bullbars/skid plates on the truck. But i have a couple of questions before i start hacking into things. My ute has airbags so can i modify the front bumper at all, or does it have to be left as is? The type of bars im wanting to make up are pretty much the same ...

So here I am posting as a noob...which is fairly acurate really as i AM a noob. I've got a 97 D22 Navara. Its a mighty 3.2 NON turbo auto beast...its hardly a speed demon but its eleventy squillion times more reliable and more fun than my previous car. I mainly bought it to haul mountain bikes ...

Hiya. I too am a noob, both on here and to offroading in general., I have a 97 D22 Navara...fairly bog stock at the mo but it SHOULD change.
