you dont think we've stuffed as much electric fan in ther as possible? it has to do with with how much air flow the pathy engine bay gets & when you stuff a bigger motor in there the amount of air that gets thru the radiator is abit under par for the bigger motor. Yes electic fans help, but they are NOT the be all and end all. some food for thought, mechanical fans have MUCH, MUCH higher output, can be up to 10 times that of an electric fan, so that would be another possibility

had another thought.... the 2003 thing maybe due to the zd30 engine. apparently the likely hood of a zd30 blowing up drops after 2002. i.e 2003 onwards. however this doenst apply to TD42's..... they dont blow up one piece of advice is 99 & 2000 TD42's some had 5th gear troubles when used for towing big loads, just some thing to be weary of.

2003 & onwards i believe nissan got more 'go' out of the motor other than that, im not really to sure. when i was looking for a troll i was actually aiming for around 2000 ish due to $$$$. however by luck a good friend saw this one at a real good price. i talked the yard down as much as i could and bingo ooooh by the way. congratulations on your decision, time to go look for a good one

rare for a weekday to go by without stopping in for a quick check of everything even with a differnet car. what can i say, i was there when it was the purple & black forum, im hooked.....

smart man

alright ive put my high horse back in the stable now... im finally back in the office & eat'n lunch after spending all morning out on site i would like to add that although the TD & the ZD have the same hp & similar torque figures on paper, the real world paints a different picture. basically the td produces power everywhere in the rev range. however the zd has not much under 2000 rpm. basically it needs the turbo to give it power. have even heard of a few zd owners of fairly modified rigs changing transfer case ratios to improve this. you've mentioned you've got 38" tyres..... wow you will be wanting alot of power and alot of power over the whole rev range. therefore a td42 is the go, then some modifications to power up. another thing to add is that with 38's you are going to break stuff, on any car 38's is gonna be askn for trouble. the amount of stress those massive tyres will put on drive line and steering is massive and stock stuff is just not designed for that hmmm as for the land barge motor, well yes it has more power, i cant deny that, but i would like to see one outlast a TD. the other thing is if your planning on doing touring/serious 4wding the land barge motor is all electronicly controled so there is potential there for electronics to fail out in the bush, leaving you stranded. now i will finish with saying that the land barge is finished much nicer - im refering to the interior & the interior only . however if you want a tough truck that is not full of electrics but at the same time extreamley capable a patrol is the way to go.

i dont know much bout the yota mota but i do know two things 1. timing belt...... need i say any more. 2. clearly stated on the motors ive seen every 150 k km's you need to replace fuel rail and injectors....... come on give me a break, replace the fuel rail........ you will need to be made of money for that one :oops: TD42's dont have timing belts they have timing gears. you will never have a problem with them. td's cheaper than zd's wow..... we are talking the same year vehicle arnt we? what happens to the zd's.... well up to 2002 this is very common after 2002 less common. basically poor oil circulation coupled with some of the engine sensors getting dirty, engine then over fuels & over boosts then piston 3 & 4 melt........... go to www.patrol4x4.com.au if you wanna read up about it, heaps of info on it. as for the land barge having more power...... well they gotta have something to pull round that fat, ugly, useless, eat'n toooo many meat pies, piece of junk. other problems with the 100 series land barge is i.f.s. been reports of lower arms collapsing, small front diff, offset pinion in said front diff. GO the troll - tough, strong, reliable, basic, capable 2003 GU 4.2L

go the 4.2 troll land cuirsers are for 'soccer mums' & shopping centre car parks. yes 4.2's are more expensensive but by time youve paid extra for the 4.2 the 3L would of taken a crap on you and then your up for a BIG repair bill. 4.2's are KING

whats with the 2500 stall on a suposed 'rock crawler'.....

remember to disconect the +ve lead on the battery before you start!!

dont sweat it mate just havin a bit of a poke.....

this is an old post.... td27 = indirect inject = pre-combustion chamber. no if's but's or maybe's. so a turbo of a zd ay? hope its more reliable than the zd itself......

this sound almost as good as jays project........

is the output of the revolution counter electric or mechanical? if electrical i would be putting a voltmeter across it and go for a drive if its any thing like a vss it will have a pulsed voltage that changes with speed let us know if you get anything

4 row radiator..... even less airflow thru to the engine, ay steveo.... if i were to re work my pathy setup it would be a 2 row aluminium

isnt dual mass possibly the most expensive way to go about this? yes nice power transfer but very $$$$$$ excuse my stupidity if your using a getrag why not stock fly wheel, pp and clutch? me thinks im missing something here??

lookn good steveo why the dual mass fly wheel? why not just a normal fly wheel?

pm'd steveo

they sure do & yes still got her, just sitting in the front yard altho theres some wispers of future plans for her.....

my goodness this is an OLD post.... makes me laugh everytime i see nicks avatar...

where the pump 'plugs' into the bottle theres a big rubber ring that leaks, even heard of the pump itself leaking. easiest fix is to go and buy an aftermarket pump, which should have a new rubber ring. from memory the pumps are like $10.

i would have to agree my 88's frame is just about spotless

yes

second that hubs off, see if it works/or still chatters

airlockers are great if you got the cash. well built, strong, reliable & selectable. end of story i dont think much of lock rites but everyone else seems to thing there great aswell, but far cheaper. i liked my airlocker so much i pulled it out of the pathy and now its in the patrol
