yeh thanks twek'e its something to work of anyway.

Mate my brother got an 07 hilux and its suspention was crap like any new ute these days. His speedo was out , it was just doing 95ks when siting on 100. The worst part was he paid nearly 36 grand for it and it is a single cab and did'nt come with a bullbar, tray, flares, mags, fat tyres. Yet my...

Thanks for the info Stepho, But I have to ask, where did you get those temps from. I am not trying to be a smart ass, I would like to no for sure what these motors can run at?.

I am going to on the weekend. the machanic said to spray some carby cleaner on the pistons and have a realy good look. I have looked with a torch so far so good but will soon tell once there cleaned. Taking pistons out that makes me sick, I hope not .

Well I have sent the head of today and I will keep you posted on what the AMC head looks like and how it performs. Cant wait to get it so I can put it all back together. It puts a tear in my eye seeing my beast in a thousand pieces in my shed.:sad:

The crack is between the glow plug and exhaust valve on number 4. I read some where on the net the glow plugs on these engines time for 5 minutes and the heat from them on a cold head could be the cause. I told a couple of mechanics that have sold heaps of the ZD30 heads and they laughed and...

Just thought i would ask the question mate do you load it up and tow any thing with it.

Sorry guys I forgot to note that the chip has only been on for about a month and the symtoms of loosing water have been going for about 3 months. At first I just thought it was a bit of evaporation and then tried a new radiator cap and then got it pressure tested and bingo cracked head.Correct...

Hi guys, I have a crack in the head on my 06 ZD30. I service every 5000ks it has never been hot and I am not happy.I rang around and found out alot of the zd30 heads just crack when they feel like it.I talked to a bloke in Brisbane and he advises me to put an after market A.M.C head on and I...

hey mate i just installed a DP CHIP last week on my 06 3.0lt and have had no dramas.I got it new though. I had to solder 2 wires into the wireing harness that plugs into the ECU and scotch clip 1 wire on the injector pump and earthed as well.Is the chip you have got the same set up as mine ?.If...

Hi guys, I havent been on the forum in a while, My wife and I have recently had twin boys ( NO time for anything ).I managed to find a couple of hours the other day to install a DPCHIP on my 06 3.0Lt Navara.WOW! the flat spot down low is basicly gone , throttle response is is unreal and when you...

Thanks mate.

Hi guys , I am thinking of getting a STEINBAUER CHIP for my 3.0 STR.They claim it brings my ute up to 132 kws, I would like to see that.A mate of mine put one on his rodeo and he said it made a big differance in power and was ok on the fuel.Is anyone running a Steinbauer chip on a...

Hit the nail on the head Tweak'e.

$1240 supplied from Beaudesert Exhaust. Thay said that 3" can over fuel the engine. I dont no wether thats just there sales pitch or not, But the exhaust was a great fit. Apparentley Beaudesert get the 2.75" pipe rolled in Melbourne because it is not a common size.Thay said their tests gave best...

Yeh mate, fair enough.

Babinda mate just a bit north.Rain rain rain rain rain f...ing rain.:big_smile: I just put mine in 4WD and drove it up on 4 car ramps in my shed, Made life much easyer. Deffinatly spray all bolts to be removed the night before.It is a must to do the job when cold, Some people do try when hot...

My pre cleaner had a 6mm opening in one spot and i just could'nt stand the thought of water getting in when i just spent a day fitting the snorkle to my truck to keep water out when going through a crossing. It did'nt make any sense having leaks in the system after all that.

Sounds a bit weird mate. Iam not a mechanic, but a mate was telling me today about a bloke with the D40 model done 4000kms from new and had to replace all 4 injectors,(warranty of course). One of the symtoms was lots of white smoke out the exhaust when he was giving it a bit. I hope its not...

Yes, did fit the exhaust myself, bit of a job but i just went steady steady. as for the snorkle i got it from a nissan dealer in innisfail for $375 and that is a genuine Nissan snorkle. I think the safari is about $480. The Nissan kit had a good template and good instructions.It just takes time...
