On my GU, the brake hoses where bulging under pressure. Ended up replacing them. Could be something like this?

I had mine powder coated, cost less than spray cans I reckon. Did the same with front bars and sliders and it was surprisingly durable. From memory cost me $200 for full internal cage, front and rear bars and sliders.

I just went through this recently and after reading all about the zd30 problems all over the net bought a d22 with a qd32. Mine is one that nissan turboed from new, neat little set up and 2.5" exhaust goes really well. The navaras with the zd30 are considerably better than the early patrols and ...

howetts engineering will make you one or two if you do the other side. Think it cost me $180 or there abouts but it was a while ago.

Hi guys, Now I remember reading about this a while back but I can't for the life of me find it now. I read a few people had had some success with drilling a hole in their exhaust manifold (for an EGT probe) with the manifold in-situ and I think just having the engine running to push any excess ...

I did the budget way first (just free wheeling hubs) and all it did really was make the steering feel lighter. Something else that happened was my axles and cvs didn't like turning unloaded because my bronze cv bushes were worn so it vibrated like hell at speed. The marks kit is the way to go. I got ...

All good info for you there. Install an egt gauge first though.

is it worth the expense i have just done a cad drawing and it works out at around a 2.86 degree swing and using a 1m rod length there was no measurable change i would suspect that it would be similar results for the caster correction bushes imho Agree, Ive never needed to use adjustable panhards ...

They want $880??

That's not a good price, rebuild kit is around $200, small amount of labour and a balance. Look at what I got for 1100.

Hi there, I upgraded my ht18 standard patrol turbo earlier this year. I got a full rebuild obviously with balance, had the internals machined out to accept a steel 360 degree thrust washer for more boost, and had the turbo modified to replace the compressor section with a garrett t04b housing and ...

We use aftermarket adjustable glow timers at work that can do pulsed after glow. They have a temp sensor also to reduce glow when hot. If you we're to try and use a 2.4 factory glow timer the time might not suit the 1kz plugs The 2lt unit I have has an adjustable glow and afterglow period, 0-15 ...

Best thing you can do if your new to working on your vehicles is find a friendly mechanic who doesn't mind you being there with them as they do your wof. They can show you exactly what's wrong, were it is and give advice on repair. Makes life easy. I always watch my wofs.

Voltage Regulator and or alternator

Ditto, its been disabled. Better to remove the valve and blank it but ok just to take the hoses off. Get rid of the butterfly in the intake though.

Get a big piece of old carpet or rubber or ply for oil change time. Doesnt matter how hard you try you will always drip some. Use a deflector as others have said also to guide oil down from filters if really keen.

so if i got some standard 80 series springs and shocks for the front that would give me enough to get new shocks and springs for the back Depends if its your daily driver, personally id save up and buy matching springs and shocks all round with spring rates designed for your vehicle. You will end ...

I place a tape measure on its head so the tape is facing up to the bonnet. Sit that on the rocker cover or something flat. Pull about the right amount of tape out and semi lock the button so it doesnt retract but will when the bonnet pushes on it. Stand it up and close the bonnet slowly, add the ...

Do you guys take the manifold off to fit the senders or do it in place and hope turbo survives any little bits of metal? Would like to fit one to mine but don't wanna remove the manifold. Been there years ago to replace gaskets Do it in place, use grease on drill bit to collect the swarf and stop ...

Right.. after finally getting around to it and pulling an all nighter removing all the carby gear, fitting up the EFI setup and wiring everything.. this morning I drop the tank to fit the pump and this is where it gets frustrating, the tank cap is nowhere near big enough to fit the intank pump thru ...

Hi all, I am wanting to give my l200 a bit more ower (same old story) I am after an intercooler set up for a 4d56t or suggestions on intercoolers to suit I am also looking for an electronic boost controller, so I can set my low boost to just above normal, and High boost to a coule of pounds above ...

Just did my gu td42t patrol with bits and pieces I bought through suzzolla. The parts are sourced from m Really good variety of sizes and shaped intercoolers and radiators and the quality is top notch also. Theres something to fit every vehicle if your handy and have the imagination. Cost me around ...

Many thanks, Josh

There only 40 bucks new on tardme, why go 2nd hand?

Toyota have really sharpened there part prices especially on older models. I have had some really good success with waikato toyota, ask for clayton and most importantly let them know if the price isnt right because I have seen how much they will move on parts at times. If you just go in and pay ...

I have my egt gauge pre turbo (td42t) and stick to 700max and thats really working hard foot flat in it on hills.

Wonder what a rotary thinks about being reved at that angle, same goes for any motor i guess? How does that work re motor on big angle and oil in sump ect? Its all about baffling and gating your sump so it never starves of oil, most engine conversions require sump work to prevent oil starvation off ...

Ive got 30mm spacers in the front of my gu, no problem with wofs.

Ive got them on my my gu patrol road bus and love them. Really quite on road and drive just like the old a/ts that were on there before. Good tire if you do more road kms than offroading but still want a tire thats ok in most conditions.

glue that shit up, get it hot enough it does 10mm plate

I agree but its critical to get a good full glue peno gloot run on 10mm plate
