Whats more important? Do you intend to go offroading, in which case the tyres etc may be more beneficial, or want better performance on road (and obvious benefits off road with a turbo too) As much as I want the extra height and bigger feet sooner, I do drive alot of open road hills. I'm assuming ...

I agree on making sure your trans is in check , i..e new service and after market cooler , Your other option for a resonable quality setup is purchasing a standard complete assembly , i just sold one with all lines etc for $1000 and then spend around 3 to 500 getting the the turbo freshened up ...

You have to remember that the autos in these trucks are not the strong unit in the world and won't handle big power increases. You really need to be incorporating the cost of a good big trans cooler into a turbo fitment. Maybe even get trans checked first. No use to spend fewgrand turbo then blow ...

Cheers for the replies so far. If I was looking at proven quality, what would 4-5k get me for a full kit including fitting? (not including the 3" exhaust which will be a separate cost). I can go anywhere between Northland and Auckland to get it done. Might have to wait 2-3 months to sneak the extra ...

http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/nissan-patrol-gu-gr-10/td42-turbo-comparisons-interesting-results-57407/ m worth reading. i think a td27 turbo would be massively undersized. maybe ok for small power increase and it would be working at its limit. I see the TD05 16g or 18g seems to be the most popular ...

That's a good price. I probably could find someone coming back. Doesn't seem to be much description in the auction. Any idea what brand the kit is and the turbo specs?

Cheers guys. Here's a couple of current listings on trademe. Any thoughts? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/turbos/auction-604001820.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/engines/auction-602252687.htm

Hi all, I’m looking at Turbo options for my 91 Safari LWB, Automatic. I know there’s a lot of threads around but can’t seem to find anything specific to what I’m needing to know. I recently drove a LWB Auto TD42 Safari the same as mine, but fitted with a TD27 turbo from a Nissan Terrano (Not interco ...

North or South Hokianga? I live and work in South Hokianga, but I'm from Mitimiti in North Hokianga right on the west coast. I spend most of my days off in Mitimiti fishing, where my other truck (bighorn) sees most of its action on the beach. Grew up in Koke and Broadwood, still spend Christmas' at ...

Thanks for the welcome guys. As a new member, if I want to post questions about turbo options do I post on the new members board, or within this thread, or can I post in the Diesel Engine and Modifications page? I've done some searching on this forum as well the Patrol 4x4 forum but cant seem to ...

Hi all, Noel's my name. I picked up a stock standard 91 Nissan Safari LWB TD42 Automatic a few weeks ago and have plans for a few mods in the near future. Overall its in pretty good nick and runs well with 174ks (give or take any previous odo bodgying). Has an aftermarket trans cooler fitted and ...
