shorty, was the filters mate, picked up a ryco in Weipa and no more probs, only thing was I had 3 spare shit ones, also im running a 80 series box, got rid of all standard hoses.......6 months after I spent $340 replacing it, all silicon and stainless now John, thanks mate, hopefully nothing too...

nah not a squeal, I haven't checked turbo yet, I was originally leaning towards timing chain but the wife kindly reminded me of the shit filters up the cape, she didn't ingest too much was only ultra fine powder, just a fine red dusting in the lid of the airbox. after towing 2 ton 22,000km...

gday all, just wanted a few ideas/feedback on new noise in my ol ZD30. Im running a crosscountry cooler and a 80 series airbox but all that is unrelated cos we have done a 22,000km lap of Aus towing 2ton of camper with the changes. couple w/e's ago hooked up the camper and headed off, on way...

just noticed my fan has suddenly developed stress cracks, is the zd30 navara fan the same as the zd30 patrol fan? thanks

thanks, basically what I was thinking, ill just play it safe and run another full line for diff. thanks again

Yep, another diff breather question:sorry3:, and it probably doesn't require a new thread but I got sick of reading. Doing the big lap in a few months and im replacing my rear diff breather again cos I got it snagged and fecked it all, question is instead of running a line all the way up to...

FOR SALE, 1x set EFS 2in lift rear leaf (medium) springs, done that little work that the SuperPro polly bushes I fitted them with are unmarked. can have bush set too if wanted. $180 where is as is. Location Toowoomba QLD

its only a air temp sensor and I just put a 19mm hole in the inlet of the airbox and using original grommet relocated it, plenty of wire length, just unwrap harness and retape, see pic.... nope crankcase breather on lol, even finally got around to fitting a catch can.

thought id pop back and after nearly a week of driving the vehicle my initial observations hold firm.....AWESOME! more torque at even lower revs, better pick up (even less turbo lag especially on hot days and on boost just off idle now), and got rid of 90% of weird induction type noise after...

just done the 80 series airbox swap so I thought I would post a few pics, actually relatively easy swap, well done to the person who originally thought of it! and before anyone mentions it I know that the extra couple bends between airbox and turbo isn't ideal but it allows me access to both my...

sweet, thanks

hi all, was wondering if anyone would know where i could get a replacement NISSAN badge for my factory snorkel, cos i aint goin back into the lantana to get mine! Cheers Dan

Goldie, sounds very similar to what mines doing, same year model too lol. didnt do it for 2 weeks and then fri arvo i started it up at work and it did it. but you can tell when it is going to do it even before motor starts because if you watch the dash as motor cranks the alternator light goes...
