[Nayff]

They've all been sweet. Still looking forward to seeing what you got. Sounds like it could have a bit done to it already.

[twisty]

[Jacket_1985]

It is at least 3litres.

[Glort]

If it's a 4.2d I might have some veg oil for the trip home save buying that horrible expensive Diesel Stuff.

[gottheshits]

Wish I had of known you when I bought mine. Couldnt find a decent 4.2 anywhere...

I would genuinely be interested in this, I'm going to rebuild the motor soon so before I do I would like to experiment with veg oil.....

Could you please put a thread up on how/what to do to run a td42 on oil?

Just for you Jacket, I have started writing a Veg oil guide.

Yes, it is long but I am trying to make it informative so it answers more questions than it creates.

I'll also do a bit specifically on the 4.2 based on my experience of 2 years with one.

[SilverBullet]

Wow you go through some cars! If you don't mind me asking, do you do it to make a bit of spare cash or are you happy just tinkering and breaking even at the end of the day?

i havnt lost money on a car in 6years. normally i make a good amount, but my rb30 will be a break even affair if im lucky.

[Jacket_1985]

goodness, starting to really get the fidgets. want my patrol bad now. cant wait to get my mitts on it.

been without a diesel for like a month.

Also cant wait to have kings again. REALLY looking forward to this one. REALLY. . . . c'mon!

[mitchgq]

can you post up your supplier and cost of the kings when your doing it, would love a set myself!

[Jacket_1985]

can you post up your supplier and cost of the kings when your doing it, would love a set myself!

I can. i am buying them from:

Allan Cuthill @ racebred4wd.

Phone: 03 5134 1007

i am paying $2,400au for 4x shocks and the king racing steering damper.

This includes Australian warranty, custom valving, canister brackets, damper mounts, and shimming.

Last time i bought direct from the states and it didnt work out much cheaper after you buy all the other bits and pay for valves/shims.

He will be doing my complete suspension kit this time. my diff lamination, and my lockers.

[GQ Beast]

That snorkel on it???? Is that one off the ones with the water trap thing in the inner gaurd and still enters the airbox up the front behind light.???

[SilverBullet]

So you should have this thing in your grubby little mitts by now. How did the drive go? Pics?

Landed in Sydney at 3:00, started driving after 4. I'm sitting in the Chinese restaraunt in Cooma because the kitchen in the alpine hotel(my usual spot) is shut.

It's in the carpark. Drives well... It's slow. I havnt had a slow patrol in ages. but apart from a dent in the passenger sill it's pretty straight, I'll get pics at home tomorrow. Iv told dean(previous owner) I was going to do the build thread here. So there's another member to the ranks.

Going past Gosford tomorrow?

[Jacket_1985]

Going past Gosford tomorrow?

isn't that in the opposite direction? I flew into Sydney, and I'm heading back to Victoria, I drove past Canberra about 1 1/2 hr ago on my way south.

[admin]

Ahh for some reason I figured you lived north (flying Down)

[admin]

An, you never actually said flying down... I must have imagined it
