Hey guys, to start with hope everyone has been keeping well, sorry to relive a old post but thought id give an overdue update on this project. As most of you know i left for Australia not long after this build so the truck sat in the shed waiting for my return. Fast forward a couple of years and i'm ...

That's expensive quote def get a few prices, be carefully driving it around as depending where the leak is it may start sucking air into the fuel system which will cause a lot of hassles an get to the point it will piss you right off ....I know from experience I also had the same idea would just ...

Thanks, was a good project took 3 months to do whole conversion then wiring held me up for another 6 months because I tried to run after market ecu due to lack of knowledge for wiring original ecu, once decided to go back to original it turned out been a half day job . Truth of the matter she is ...

first thing i would do is check to see thermostat is operating normal, or if there is one at all, cheap easy fix that is most likely the cause of your problems

Hey guys, have had a little spare time so decided I would write a guide for the Automatic TD27 - Rb25det neo engine conversation. I have including all the important information which will make the conversation so much easier. Please remember that the base information here will work with any Rb/20/25 ...

the oil expands a lot when hot an kills everything, I have seen it expanded to round 30-40mm past the hot high level on dipstick, once cooled back to normal but metal filing throughout. Some people have the mentality that trans and diffs don't need servicing an only worry about engine oil Surely it ...

. The td27 or td27t pressure plate will bolt to the qd32 and will work fine. However they ay be a bit revy on the torque converter due to the extra power torque of the qd32( not to much of an issue) I have not taken the auto out of a terrano but I hear getting the torque converter bolts is a thing ...

Yeah it's the third auto I have changed (and still a takes 6hours of swearing) all on different trucks, nearly all have been from overheating, the oil expands a lot when hot an kills everything, I have seen it expanded to round 30-40mm past the hot high level on dipstick, once cooled back to normal ...

Sweet so that unit unscrews? It has a offset face plate with a 8mm bolt, guessing remove bolt an use poligrips to unscrew as has no hex...thanks for heads up I havent adventured to far to save expensive repairs

Hey I changed out a mates terrano automatic transmission last weekend with a second hand replacement, the trans I removed had the mechanical speedo cable drive but the replacement was off a slightly newer truck an has a electrical speedo reader (wires an plug coming out of sensor), I am wondering if ...

Why not just re wire fan through relay an temp probe or switch, easy job an will save any future problems...also allows you to set what temp you want it to run. Just an idea anyway

remember if auto the torque converter will still be in place (can leave this by removing bolts though bell house window before I bolting box) Interesting, I wouldn't have thought you would get the bell housinge back far enough to clear the TC. Trans guys said they remove the transfer case prior to ...

Did you get trans power flushed when changed filter? A lot of people don't an just change filter, this doesn't drain all the oil such as the oil in TC...if not i would recommend it just uncase there was a small but of metal on metal action when oil was low which may have entered the oil system ...

I would love to find one as they are rare, the best part about them is any rb engine will straight bolt in as they use same engine mount positions an interchangeable bell housing, meaning it would only take a weekend to bolt in a big Hp rb30det if that's your thing..or for a more civil approach the ...

Yea def measure vehicle height before removing torsion bars, next mark in white paint pen both ends of torsion rods unease they slip out of sockets while removing. Block truck up to get weight off front wheels then remove torsion rods an cross member. Put trolley jack under gearbox an remove gearbox ...

Can do the "ugly"

had my old girl for over 5 years and never let me down once, only problem i hated was how slow they are in standard form (didn't know then about all the engine mods you guys do to them). Any way i fixed that problem in a extreme approach. Overall very trusty, capable old trucks with very minor TLC ...

Both coolant temp sensors one for gauge cluster temp (is it working)...an maybe the other is for erg system (correct me if wrong)?...if truck is still running fine I wouldn't personally worry otherwise the temp probe a 2 minute job to change an normally cheap

Just put the 33's on the back and the 31's on the front, thats what I do for fuel economy, the vehicle thinks it is going downhill all the time. If you turn the fan on full bore it also helps as it forces air out the vents in the rear of the cab creating forward momentum, much like a fire hose ...

Haha fiat uno an a push bike are great options but then we will have to cover running 31s on a uno or installing a 3 cylinder Kubota diesel engine on a push bike...seriously can't understand why someone would waste so much time thinking about getting better gas mileage for a terrano...these sorts of ...

This is possibly your fourth thread about terrano concerning fuel usage..first one you wanted to know cheaper engine to bolt in then trans for better economy etc now this...tyres been covered thousands of times an you must not of had many other vehicles if your concerned of your fuel mileage in a ...

Do you know if the factory temp gauge or ATP light would show that the Auto was overheating? Nope it doesn't mate...when my original overheated it didn't come on..gearbox started a slight moan so pulled over an just like yours level was real high...don't want to be bearer of bad news but don't ...

ahh this post looks like fun iv been missing out ...anyway just my 2cents the patrol that i towed my terrano on car trailer has a over sized turbo blowing a mild 8psi down its ass (otherwise standard) and it pulled my truck up hill at 90+km..Was manual though don't know if much difference...Anyway ...

check the gearbox cluster of electrical plugs (they by brake booster and run down towards gearbox) One of them is a "Lock up" switch if that is faulty it could be releasing, worth a try anyway...What does the oil smell like, they usually have strong odor when overheated...Sounds like could be ...

I second new cap..when the hose looked sucked in was the thermostat open or closed?..those temps are normal an obviously thermostat housing will get hot otherwise doesn't open. Keep in mind which a lot of people fail to understand is diesels are designed to run fairly hot, kill them real easy when ...

Mine also used to do the same thing even with new viscos hub an water pump.even new viscos did not come on full until around 3/4 temp on gauge then wouldnt raise any hotter. Not a issue worth worrying about but could look into adapting a different viscos hub that comes on earlier maybe..just a ...

i third checking the connections and checking oil level is correct remembering you check trans oil while its running or within a few seconds of shutdown...The automatic has a safe guard system so whenever the trans has a problem it will lock its self in third gear and wont shift up or down (limp ...

just quick edit to my first response, cert plate returned today an nothing on it about steering, so steering does not require cert. It was all documented in paper work from certifyer as needing cert but they obviously disagreed..good news

Well i have read and heard some stories before, but this is pure gold...Awesome work..If only Peppe knew what she was in for it would of blown a head gasket and dropped piston before it left Tuis place
