Just curious if anyone has done research on replacing a zd30 motor with an alternative motor if it every blew up? What brands and specs?

Had a look at the torsion bar bushes and they appear toe fine. I don't think its the shockies touching the wishbones Dave. They have been on the vehicle for 100,000km and its just been happening for the last 6 months but doesn't seem to be getting any worse. But I never heard it before that...

Nah there is no noise at full lock. It doesn't appear to be the cv's or the turning stoppers rubbing. Thanks Rufus. The one thing I haven't checked were the torsion bar bushes. That could be the caulpret. Cheers. I have jacked the ute up a couple of time with the wheels off the ground and...

Every so often when the wheel travel extends to the downward limit on the front end of the d22 I get a metal on metal sound. It doesn't always happen but when it does it is usually on a sharp, sudden downward movement. In saying that is has happened when starting to reverse up a steep incline...

I am looking at updating the standard 16 x 6 inch DX rims on my navara to the 16 x 7 inch rim size of the str model. I am looking at putting 265/ 75 tyres on next and need the wider rims. Can someone give me the correct offset for the latter rim size? Will this change the diff ratios much or...

Was looking in the latest 4wd action mag and noticed an add from 4wd systems advertising exhaust upgrades now. Has anyone had anything to do with this company as the price for the 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust and dump pipe doesn't seem to bad? I will have to give them a call and find out a bit more.

Well i made a mistake on one of the other threads where i said I didn't have any oil/sludge buildup in the manifold when i did the egr mod. Decided to take a closer look by removing the piece of cast inlet (splits form one hole into two) that contains the butterfly valves. I was astonished as...

Yeah, thats the one.

Quick question. Is it possible to undo the 3 bolts on the front of the turbo without the turbine, etc having to come out? Just want to check the internals/ turbine for any sign of damage/ wear and thought that would be the best way?

You will have to forgive my stupidity, had a blonde moment when i asked that question. I was thinking of regular motor oil not 2-stroke. Only asked that question because i have a mate that uses filtered sump oil in his old doser. But he can't use semi-synthetic and synthetic because it...

Please correct me if I am wrong but viewing the original attachment to this thread they mention that semi-synthetic and syntheic 2-stroke oils can be used to mix with diesel. I thought semi-synthetic and synthetic oils didn't "burn" as well as mineral based oils? If this is correct couldn't...

Hi MAP, no worries. Tweak'e, I was surprised too to find that there was no build up around the inlet. I will try and take a pic but when I did the EGR conversion my dad put a sealant on the blocking plate to ake sure there wasn't going to be any gas leakage. I don't want to break the seal...

I was thinking of some steel gauze with holes 1x1mm square or 2x2mm square. Something that could atleast catch the big particles. My only concern is the flow of air and if this would restrict air flow to much??

When the turbo blows up, generally what are the sizes of the pieces, if this can be answed? Only asking because someone like myself who can't afford an intercooler at this stage, would a piece of guaze with suitable spacings work if you put it in after the turbo?? Or would there be to much...

I had the same result as MAP. When I did the mod at ~160-170,000km i found no oil/sludge buildup on the intake manifold where it is blocked off with a plate. Mine is an 02 model, serviced every 5,000 km. I also had the same porblem of oil vapor going through the air intake. When I started the...

02 dx, 186,000. No major problems

I did my d22 3l t/d and the only bit that had to be removed from the original setup was the plastic part going from the quarter panel that attaches to the pre-cleaner. the air-tec system supplies the new adaption part.

Well did a trip to Coffs on a tank of BP fuel and got a return of 10.6L/100km like I used too. 2L per 100km better than on Caltex fuel. You could even feel the difference in throttle reponse too. Haven't checked the return trip but it looks very similiar and that was carrying an ~500kg load...

I have a 2002 d22 with zd30 and have noticed of late that it is going through more fuel than usual. I have done about 184,000km always serviced every 5,000km and never had a problem with it as yet. The last 2 tanks each equated to just over 12L/ 100km with little load. It used to be a litre...

Hi Tweak'e, I'm in Narrabri NSW. I will be getting the exhaust from Tamworth. Cheers
