More stuff in the garage to go.... Genuine EFS Nissan Patrol GQ/GU SWB Y60 Rear Gearbox Spacer Kit. Used to correct pinion angle and therefore reduce drive line vibration. EFS Part No. 10-1005 Installed in a GU SWB Nissan Safari, driven to Auckland and then drop boxes were installed - (Long story ...

Cleaning out the garage..... Garrett M24 Turbo and matching Injector pump off of a 1997 RD28T from a GU Nissan Safari. Turbo has a 'Pyro' sensor to hook up to your 'EGT' (Exhaust Gas Temperature) gauge. New turbo internals approx 10,000 kms ago. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id ...

EFS Safari Gearbox Spacers for sale - 6 x plates and bolts. Spacers were installed for a week before we swapped over to drop boxes for front caster correction so therefore these gearbox spacers not required. Bolts are brand new as never used. Spacers are out of a Nissan safari. Not sure if they are ...

Just put a RB30DET in my Manual GU Shorty after the head went on the RD28T. Downloaded a 26 page colour instruction manual from an Aussie site, including wiring diagrams! Have had it running for a week but she is going in next week to get a G4 Link and some time on the Dyno. Keep thinking it has ...

I have got about a 70mm lift in a SWB GU, and run Drop boxes probably more suited to a 100mm lift with no problems what so ever. Without any caster correction it was still driveable, just had to use very fine movements of the steering wheel - wife hated it and wouldn't drive it. With the drop boxes ...

Got a 33" Khumo sitting around the back of the house doing nothing - Rotorua.

Not a bad idea. All that I had come up with was making something out of wood, with one piece to go against the gearbox out shaft, and the other to go against the driveshaft, all held together with bolts to be able to give you the 'moveability', then once you had the angle set, you just sit it on the ...

Does anyone have any clever methods for measuring top and bottom Universal Joint angles? For example of the rear drive-shaft. Looking at getting adjustable top arms for the SWB Safari to try and get rid of at least some of the vibration, so will need to have a good method for measuring the UJ angles ...

Found/Confirmed the problem - The camshaft position sensor in the fuel pump. Only $400 ex Aussie! Fortunately all this sensor is doing is taking a Rev reading, but does not effect fueling etc, for for $400 I think I will just put up with no rev counter at idle.....

Have just put a 50mm EFS lift in my SWB GU, and at the back have ended up with about a 70mm lift after settling from about 1,000 k's on teh road. Have come across a small problem though which I have nailed down to being a vibration in the rear driveshaft spline. There is a very very slight ...

Thanks Dave, email address is summit033@hotmail.com

OK, whilst I had the truck in at at auto electricians, I got them to plug in their diagnostic tool to check any fault codes that this intermittent fault has thrown up. Came back with '11', which is Camshaft Position Sensor (Pump). So I take it this is the cam position sensor in the fuel pump....? Is ...

Have to agree with the Castor bushes, but again, depends on how high you go. Putting LWB 50mm in based on a recommendation from EFS in Aussie, so predicting about a 65-70mm lift before sagging and a front bar going on. The 3" lift on the GU wandered too much for my liking, so I run 4" drop boxes ...

.... and if you don't get them set right, you won't be getting the original bolts back through.... trust me I know! Had an idea with the caster bushes. Template comes with them stating the distance between the holes to be say 140mm (can't remember the exact measurement off of the top of my head ...

Just got a set of EFS springs and shocks for the GU Shorty and am going to fit them up next weekend. First time I have done this so was just wondering if there was any technique to doing it.... Any tips or tricks, or problems to watch out for... Do the back first or the front, or it doesn't matter ...

The GU 2.8's suffer from a "warm start" problem, where the cylinder in the injector pump wears, causing over fuelling upon starting. Fitting an advance plate, advances timing, and causes the plunger to move in an unworn part of the cylinder (I think ). It is usaually hard to start once the engine ...

Didn't notice the oil pressure - will look out for that if it does it again....

How quickly after start-up does it shut down? Whats the oil pressure doing? If it has an EDIC system and it isnt getting oil pressure, then it will cut power to fuel stop solenoid and engine will shut down. Turn the key, fires up, revs just start to climb, then just dies - so like 1 seconds after ...

Yeah, I think I would have to agree - Also have a dicky rev counter that dies at low revs which appears to activate the engine management light, give it some throttle and the rev counter comes back into life and the engine management light goes off again...... F@#king electronics.... Will get some ...

Last night, idling down a mates drive my GU 2.8 turbo intercooled stalled - Strange....... turn the key fires into life then dies as if you just turned the key off again. Did this about 6 times, fires up perfectly but then just dies on the same breath, no splutters, coughs, just shuts down. On about ...

Same problem with the late model GQ's that came in before the change to GU,air bags fitted, but none of the Aussie bars for the GQ's were airbag tested as Aussie doesn't have Jap imports, so have never heard of a GQ with an airbag......

Thanks Bushrash, I would have probably started looking at the other end. Will call into the local 4x4 wreckers and see what I can find out.

Cheers.

Got an intermittent fault with the rev counter on my 97 GU 2.8 Turbo, mostly at idle, will drop off, then flick back on etc. A few secs after it faults the engine management light comes on, and then off again when it comes back on. At high revs it seems OK, just fluffs about at idle revs. Any ideas ...

Got some old Hella Commet 550's in the garage - these are the rectangle type ones. Covers are a little cracked but the spots themselves are in good condition - were only on a car for about 2 years, then have just sat in the garage....

Not Stainless, just mild steel - Roll cage tube and a bit of square box......

I have recently had made a mounting bracket for the UHF aerial and reversing spots/work lights behind the spare wheel carrier, and am just wondering whether to get it Galvanized then Powdercoated,or Zinc plated then powdercoated, or just powder coated....? Could fill up the tubes with some form of ...

Didn't think you would be able to do a body lift with the airbags etc. Remember reading on one of the Aussie forums certifiers not touching anything with an air bag that had a body lift....... Could be wrong........ Might be different here.

Managed to pick up a Bushranger Max air from Repco last week for $217... Was going that afternoon to buy the exact same one from a 4x4 shop for $430. They must be dropping the line or something......?

I have a set of new Goodyear MTR's, 33 X 12.5 R15 on the new CSA made White Spoke rims that are 15 X 10, -44 offset. They are what you need for the GU!!!! I have used them once, I would let them go for $2200 if your interested. DB, PM me you number and I will give you a call, may be worth a trip ...
