  1. Did an oil change & service on the ol' Girl today (heaps of space to work while the turbo is still off) She's not gonna know what hit her when she gets back running!
  2. Some pics of the Turbo removal / change thus far: Turns out the EGT probe end that had snapped off was jammed in-between the blades so actually hadn't broken them. Still worth changing over the turbo though methinks (considering I have a spare one here now)
  3. Did some work on removing my old busted turbo, played "find the broken EGT probe." Still have to fit the new turbo and re-install the intercooler. Also took the time whilst everything was easy to access to remove the EGR and fit blanking plates.
  4. End of the EGT probe snapped off and went through my Turbo last night BUT I have sourced another Turbo from a local guy and it even comes with a spare head with half the milage on it than my current so that's kind of a win, busy days leading up to the weekend though, gonna start taking everything apart tonight. A sad day for Te Rino, (now if only I can win TOTM, that will at least bring me some joy)
  5. My 1992 Turbo Diesel Terrano after a weekend away in the mud here in New Zealand is my nomination: stovanovich
  6. Only on my own accord was having too much fun giving the Suzuki false hope every time instead to allow him to pull me in.
  7. Playing tug of war with a Suzuki on the weekend. Had a busy night of cleaning last night, removing carpets etc. But this was just too much fun that it was all worth it.
  8. Haha best of luck mate! I was just lucky to score mine off the old man's patrol when he upgraded to steelies.
  9. I run 32 x 11.5 w/ 15 x 8 rims, stock suspension (just slight torsion levelling) on factory Nissan Patrol alloys. As you can tell there is still plenty of height spare but as mentioned above, it's the width that gets ya, i trimmed & folded the back & front of guards a little to cater for any potential rubbing. Offset helps as does the weight of rims. My alloys are so light that they mean my 32s weigh as much as my old 31s on Steelies. After wheeling with my 32s for around 4 months now I find the old girl much more capable than 31s, you could probably squeeze 33s under but I think due to weight & power that the 32s may be the magic number.
  10. When every time you go for a drive after a weekend out mudding there is a new mysterious rattle to find / fix
  11. Got mine mounted under the stereo console in my WD21 just in front of the shifter. The microphone clip is mounted up next to my gauges (where altimeter etc was originally) & Coax cable runs out through firewall to the aerial which is mounted on my custom bullbar, which also offers it a little protection when crashing through the forest.
  12. Haha well I guess that's now my claim to fame! clean in half too.
  13. Significant force on an angle + hard surface and this is the result
  14. Went for a play in the mud on Saturday and busted a tow hook Now I have a week to get her fixed up with a new one & fit the new rear bar before next weekends mudding
  15. Hey everyone, Does anyone here know anything about putting the rear springs out of a Nissan Patrol / Ford Maverick (depending on where you are in the world) in the rear of a WD21 pathy? I know it can be done & people have done it but just thought it's a tad weird given that they are a wider diameter spring. Any tips would be much appreciated (reason I ask is I have access to some spare from the old man's Rig)
  16. Well it was a long evening of Beer & Pizza but we finished fabricating my custom rock sliders to the ol' girl. Looking pretty fly! Gotta take 'em out for a test on the weekend. Will post more pics when they're all muddy.
  17. Mate if the V6 is anything like the Diesel TD27. It's a piece of cake. I had to take mine off the other day, takes about 5 mins. Step 1: Take the bottom part off (as stated above it's merely snap locked in place to the top half once you've undone bottom screws) Probably pays to take bash plate off as you will need to pull it out through the bottom. (by memory you don't have to worry about bottom hoses. If you do then simply undo it and leave there until you've removed top half. Step 2: Undo your top radiator hose (if you do it carefully you should be able to angle it up so no fluid is lost (maybe plug it for time being?) Step 3: Undo the 2 screws holding it to the radiator, should pretty much just slide up now, providing you followed Step 1. May have to tweak it a little past the fan but she has enough flex that you won't break it. Also I don't run a bottom shroud anymore because I like you had problems with the fan ripping it up when I broke an engine mount about 6 months ago. Hope that all helps mate! Also, maybe look into aftermarket radiators, my new one is a slightly thinner alloy one designed for Pathys and does a better job than the original
  18. Continued with my LED conversions, pretty much running all LED on the ol' girl now inside & out. Tonight though I'm heading to see my fabricator and installing the brand new Rock sliders!!!! I'll post pics when done.
  19. Skibum's WD21 is super cool! (Repping the NPORA Decal on the window is another Win) so he gets my vote
  20. Installed new aftermarket alloy radiator. Perfect lean fit.
  21. It was just purchased from the local auto store here in New Zealand, it's there own brand. Probably find similar stuff on eBay though id imagine. Especially if you look at the Australian site Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk
  22. When you spend your days dreaming up your next mod
  23. Small world alright! Well if you're ever over here for a visit be sure to send me a PM. You can check out my Turbo Diesel Pathy and we'll go find some mud
  24. Well the holes in the grille mesh are actually angled so you do get a degree of direction towards you BUT it can't be adjusted obviously. Does the job for me though
