Thanks mate, sending you a PM

Oh and pull the glow plugs out to make it easier to turn over

Interested in the front grille, what condition is it in? Whereabouts in Vic high country?

I turn it with the PS pump nut (so, via the belt) coz it's smaller and easier to get to. The crank nut is up in the 40s from memory, I bought a socket for it

Still think it sounds like your ignition switch has a bad earth. I'm not saying it's caused by the CC module, but rather by disturbance of the Nissan harness earths during the install. Bad earth: enough current to throw the relays, throwing the relays ups the load and drops the voltage to the...

Can't really pick any corrosion in the photo? Unless the corrosion is in the fuse tangs where it plugs in, I can't see it impacting. Can't see that causing the tachometer behaviour either. If the CC installer needed a chassis earth during the install (almost certainly) he might have piggy...

No, the spline is different. What you're proposing is way harder than it needs to be. What engine are you putting in front of it that the heaviest duty aftermarket D22 clutch you can find would be inadequate? Finding some way like a spacer ring to up the preload on a HD clutch would be cheaper...

Crankshaft CL is about the best I would get from an estimate. I agree that any change from the standard springs has every potential to make the calibration ineffectual. However I think I would focus most on the impact of changes to the front RH and spring rate on the EBD calibration. I think...

You wouldn't believe the level of dumb anti-commonality **** that happens as part of local tailoring and cost reduction...

Don't mean to be a downer, but I have to wonder how come? Did you know that Patrol clutches are so heavy they have vacuum boosters? I wouldn't love to use a heavy duty patrol clutch without a booster. It's a FS5R50A/B in the Patrol instead of the FS5R30A in the Navara. It's a bigger box and a...

Well... There are a whole bunch of possible reasons to upsize the alternator and maybe the radiator and go to thermo fans. One could be to give you better flexibility for AC condensor flows when stationary, taxis... Packaging for pedestrian crumple zone design Some other front end accessory...

Is that all? :redcool: DMM - I don't envisage us staying long on your original topic; sorry! But I will try: You have access to the NP300's CoG height? Sounds like you do very interesting work. I think I'm most concerned that any anti- parameter changes significantly enough to comment on...

I've only seen brake cleaner cause an engine to falter, I didn't think it burnt well enough to cause runaway

Motorsport and light duty utes, the twin pinnacles of engineering design... One has infinite dollars in lieu of kgs The other has infinite kgs in lieu of dollars

Doug here beat me to it with his correct explanation: To make it a quick calc on my phone calculator, I will take the amount I've just put in at the petrol station to fill up (50.38), and the trip meter reading with the decimal place moved two to the left (454km --> 4.54), and divide the...

That all being said, 11L/100km on highway is a very good number for an SD25!

But flip those numbers around: I make that to be 11.1L/100km

It's the glow plug control unit (timer). From memory the inputs are from the ignition, engine temp sensor and possibly the tachometer or maybe the alternator output, something to say the engine is running. Outputs are to the glow plug relay and the indicator light. I've always thought of under...
