Re: Browne Davis Long Range Fuel Tanks

@Kirbster I have also fitted the BrowneDavis lager Aux tank and followed the instructions regarding extending the float arm by 50mm. My aux fuel guage also does not reflect what is in the tank. Filled it the first time with 40Lt but the guage only showed just over I/4. Transfer of fuel also continue...

Re: Rear coil spring tower braces

OK So I installed the tower braces from Boss 4x4. Was the most elegant solution for me.
Again thanks to all for your inputs!

Re: Rear coil spring tower braces

Thanks for all the responses. @Peter What is your opinion on these: https://www.partsman.com.au/boss-coil-tower-brace-suit-nissan-patrol-gq-gu-wag. @ ricster: Building a new garage is just not an option. Firstly funding & secondly the municipality will not allow any more buildings on my property...

Re: Rear coil spring tower braces

What is the reason for the bodylift?

If I look at the Aus brace it fits inside the existing one, so no bodylift required. Please correct me if I'am wrong.

My problem with the bodylift is that currently I just clear my garage door (5mm spare).

Rear coil spring tower braces

I noticed that my left coilspring top brace started to tear. I previously also had the same problem with the right side which I repaired. I also found on the internet that this is a bit of a flaw in the GU design. Is there anyone in the RSA that manufacture braces. Would prefer to buy/support local ...

Re: Torque Converter Manual lockup

Ons moet eers n boffin kry wat presies verduidelik wat lockup doen en hoe dit bewerkstellig word. Op youtube is daar n paar goeie animasies maar ek is nie seker of dit op die tiptronic 5 speed automatic van toepassing is. Wil eers nog bietjie rond bel en soek op die internet. Wanneer ek n sekere rat...

Re: Torque Converter Manual lockup

Ek wil nog eers bietjie meer uitvind of dit werklik vir my gaan werk. Soos ek dit het is die manual lockup n 1:1 verhouding, maar volgens my patrol se boek is dit 4de rat en dan is daar nog n rat oor. Hier is die link wat ek oorspronklik na gekyk het: http://www.chaz.yellowfoot.org/Lockup%20Trans%20...

Torque Converter Manual lockup

Het iewers op die forum gelees oor die onderwerp maar dit het toe afgewater na brandstof verbruik en bote, so nou begin ek n nuwe een. Ek het begin kyk na die moontlikheid van manual lockup. Wat ek tot op hede verstaan is dat lockup sigbaar is op die RPM dail deur dat die revs val met so 400. Die ge...
