Thanks Tony, I found the info on google also. I like to ask people because they will usually have had first hand experiencs etc. I put the alternator in tonight and it ran ok. So if anyone wants to know, a GU patrol alternator fits on a Z24 engine. Just had to swap pulleys and a little...

So I have bought the Patrol Alternator which is the type off the GU, no pump on the back. Pretty obvious that the screw on terminal on the back will be the one that carries the current to the battery but still working out the two wires labled S and L off my old alternator. I know they will be...

Thanks guys. I think I will go for the bigger. I would think it would be pretty unlikely that the shafts were different so I was always planning on swapping the pulleys just thought I would see the negatives of leaving it on. My biggests worry is the offset of the pully but the pictures look...

I have a d21-87 model and need a new alternator. Mine is a Hitachi but part number is gone. I have figured it is a 60amp but whilst shopping on the net I have found a patrol alternator that is very close in dimension that is 100 amp. does anyone know if the pulley alignmet will be ok and if...

I have the LSD out of my rear diff and was wondering if anyone has shimmed one before. It looks in pretty good condition so I'm hoping for good results.

Yeah I think so. I have been able to drive it pretty hard until now with no problem. But now I have 32's on it that's changed the story.

I spoke to seller today and bought the diffs. He's not sure if the rear is LSD but said when he turns one side the other turns the same way so I'll see when I get there. I don't really need an LSD, I need a new front as I blew mine up at Landcruiser park over the weeekend, it would be a bonus...

Thanks heaps will let you know how the purchase goes.

thanks for that. What about ratios? Ihave an 87 with a z24. The seller claims that it has 4.625 ratio. Do I have to be careful or are they all the same?

I found a set of front and rear diffs for sale and he claims one is an LSD. How can you tell from looking at it as they are out of the ute.

Weekend was awesome. Did start off poorly when 3 hours into first day front diff went bang. Unbelievable what the D21 could do with two wheel drive and momentum. I think I had more fun with the challenge of 2wd. I even towed a Disco with a trailer from Telecom hill back to the office and he...

We are meeting at Caboolture BP and going as a group from there. Meeting at 0700 saturday morning and returning Monday morning. Don't hesitate if you want to tag along.

I'm such an idiot. I have that Haynes book to and after seeing your picture found the same one within 10 seconds! So I see it's not the pump he changed the timing on but the shaft they both connect to. But it does look like it slips out of the pump end to change it's orientation. What kind of...

I couldn't find any pictures and as I have never had the engine apart I'm not qualified to judge. But I saw him timing the enigine and it was way out and there was no more travel in the dizzie. You could tell the guy was not an idiot. When you pull out the dizzie can you see the gear it runs...

I'm no mechanic but I do understand how things work. The dizzie thing didn't make sense to me either but being the easiest to check he started there. I just got home and trying to find a picture of the oil pump but I guess the dizzie must be mecanically linked to the oil pump? I forgot he also...

Took Ned in to Carb-Tech to have the carbie checked out. Ended up needing to be rebuilt which Rob did for $350. When he went to do the timing he found it was way out. Rob thought it might have been the dizzie 180Deg out. NO. Then he thought it was a tooth out on the timing chain. NO Rob...

Thanks Shane will call tomorrow.

Does anyone know of a good carbie place in North Brisbane. My Z24 has always been thirsty but now it sometimes stalls and used a heap of fuel the last time I took it out. I'm interested in learning more about Carbies so if anyone knows a good site to get more specific information it would be...

Was that for all four or just front? How much wider are they?
