Ive just recently moved to an ST Patrol ute and dont regret the change one bit. Paid 28k for a 2005 with 168km on the clock (private sale) with 3in ex and dual batteries. The 4.2 has been around for about 20 years so if something does go wrong while touring, parts can easily be found pretty...

Thanks for the tip, its tempting doing it myself but would have to ask around for the 42mm socket. Never thought of cranking the car over to loosen the nut, not sure if that would be ideal! Im sure it would end up in the radiator if I tried it lol

Yeah probably not a bad option, I thought it was going to be much more Just talked to a local mechanic and he quoted $160-170 and said the radiator doesnt have to come out. Nizzbits can do the seal for $22 delivered, not sure of the cost from local Nissan.

My sidchrome socket sets (1/2 + 3/8) have never let me down but if I was buying again, I would buy a repco set. Have their combination spanner set and love it, quality is very good But that stanley set looks the goods too for jobs round the garage

Gday Guys, has anyone ever replaced their front main seal on their zd30's before and willing to share any tips on how to get it done? I originally thought it was a sump gasket but can now see oil running down the back of the crank pulley. It started leaking after playing in mud which I have...

Thats a rare 4.2 with air bags as 2006 was the last year with that motor and the first to come out with air bags. For comparison, my 2005 GU ST ute with 168k cost me $28 000 private sale at the start of last month so dont rush into anything Aido. It came with dual batts, hd pedders, spotties...

I just put a lock-right (same design as lokka) in the front of my patrol and it has made a huge difference when driving through rocky terrain and big ruts. Basically drives the same in sand as both wheels are getting equal traction anyway, gadget I would get all terrains first and get those tyre...

Where did you buy it from? They should still have a copy avail, I have heard the product is backed up well so shouldn't have any problems getting the new parts required. Send an email direct to tigers

Haha! Who carries a boat anchor in their car? Reminds me of a mate who got his skyline bogged on the side of the road at night time and he wrapped the strap around an air con hose. Has just done a ground up rebuild and car still doesnt have air con haha

That knot looks familiar! Ive had to join 3 together once to get me out of a water crossing. Just looped them through each other but they are now rather tight and I have a 19mt strap that only comes out on special occasions! Would never use an axe like that though!

You will never have any dramas with the 4.2 td Aido. Its the early model zd30's that are well known for their issues

Pretty sure that will be this one http://www.federalbatteries.com.au/RM12-100/ Not sure why one is named RBW and the other Remco but otherwise they look very similar

I cant remember exactly what they said, but the invoice clearly states they will repair or replace within the specified period from date of purchase. They defiantly stocked the 100 AH as i had them quote that one first and that was $228

Not sure as I mounted mine in a battery box in the tub. Specs can be found here RBW12-120

Had the wrong link, sorry for confusion :(

Thank you very much for that Tony, I do have that manual but have not got my head around the indexing :) I know where to look now cheers

Has anyone ever replaced a sump gasket or know what is involved in getting to the prick? I heard it comes in about 4 pieces and clips together? Have had the leak for a few months now, started straight after wheeling through thick mud and deep water, bottoming out on the front end numerous...

Damn I not long ago paid for mine, must be new!

D22? No longer have the accessories fitted to the car so dont worry about there not being a rubber bung fitted
