Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Cedric - Your dude is now R 10-50 per litre but for decent consumption and performance you need to add 25% diesel which brings it up to R 12 per litre. The big question will be whether the alternative suppliers product makes a bigger bang than the existing. If the same and requires 25% diesel it wil...

So as expected the Firetruck is averaging 6,3 km/l around town and this is with either straight biodiesel or with a 25% diesel/75% biodiesel mixture. However on the open road with the trailer I am getting almost 8 km/l with the mixture as opposed to the 5 km/l I got with straight biodiesel. Temps go...

Be it boats, caravans or campers they build brilliant stuff in Swellendam.... must be the water

Brilliant vehicle.

Bumper 2.jpg I rebuilt the the BZT one with double swingarms to take the 33" mud spare wheel, 60 l fuel, 4 sandtracks, spade, power points, reverse camera etc, sorted the quality issues and changed the lights. Made "that Bots trip" with no issues. It will be up for sale early next year as we now us...

3. 2 people, camping
4. Yes

I am assuming that the 4.8 also has aluminium pistons which are the weakest part of the whole setup as aluminium is not keen on temps above (some sources say 660 and others 750). If the purpose of your EGT gauge is to protect the pistons you want the probe as close to the pistons as possible. If you...

Looks like you are sorted until the end of the year

As Tinus would say "om te meet is om te weet".

Attached are the standard distances. Remember to not measure into the coil spring retainers so look at the instructions carefully.

Please add myself and Anzel for the weekend.

The Firetruck has now used 400 l of biodiesel and I have been able to accurately measure open road consumption and the results are not great. About 6 weeks ago I did a trip with my Conqueror Comfort in tow and got 8,03 km/l with normal diesel which I was over the moon with. Michael has really done a...
