Would be interested in feedback if anybody has any experience with this diesel fuel additive. Its Australian made and seems reasonably priced ($55/Lit inc GST) given the very low dose rates (1:4,000) recommended. http://www.fuelmaster.net.au/?gclid=CJuh7uyz_7ACFeiUpgodeCzKQw Thanks reddog

Does anyone have any thoughts on which HD clutch to fit to a 2006 D22 ZD30? Interested in an comparisons between the HD Exedy and the Extreme Outback HD. The Excedy seems to be around $720 and the Extreme about $100 cheaper.

Just a thought, I reckon the Pro-vent catch can also makes a difference to the engine oil color, by taking the oil out of the blow-by gases, even though only a small amount of oil is removed it is very black.

You can get the Provent catch can from Western Filters

Another option dan04, Another optio to consider. The nissan dealer in Ballarat had genuine new turbos for the ZD30 for $1300. I think they also had them on e-bay.

Follow-up Dave - did you get an answer for Tweake on the effect of EGR mod? Also ? re the Dyno printout you posted. Is this a simple comparison between the standard engine and a swap to the AXT turbo or have other mods been made such as exhaust etc. I note they advise that exhaust and chip be...

Dave, If you get more info from AXT please post in this thread.

Has anybody out there fitted one of these kits. It seems they also need to install a big exhaust and a chip to allow good tuning and optimal performance from these kits. They quoted $950 for exhaust, $1200 for the chip, and $2500 for the ball bearing turbo, thats $4650 all up all fitted and...

What Tweak'e said I also fitted the ProVent some time back and was geting nothing in the drain tube. When I had a look the oil was just collecting in the filter. It is really quite absorbant. Must have another look and see if it is now draining out of the can.

Bad luck with all your other pics Nathan. The ones you still have are great and it may be some time before you will see the deserts like that again. I have been waiting for the roads to dry out there for a while now before heading off.

Thanks for the replies. I understand that the water traps only catch free water. Is it also true that all filters also only catch free water and that water that is emulsified passes thru' and can potentially corrode fuel pump injectors etc. So how do you get some protection from this? Is the...

I am interested to know if anybody has insatlled a pre-filter water trap in the fuel supply line on the ZD30 engine. The "water watch" system described at this link Responsive Engineering | Water Testing System | Diesel Filtration | Water Watch claims to be suitable and also claims not to...

Alternative rims for D22 G'day tweak'e, Did the earth move for you?? Are you looking for steel or alloys wheels? I am looking at some different alloys for mine as I hate the standard 4 spoke uglies. Speedy Wheels make a wheel very similar if not the same as the 6 spoke ones used on the Prado...
