Re: Zululand Trip

Hi Jules, Die probleem met die kampeerplek is nie dat dit vuil is nie. Dis netjies skoon. Daars geen water gewees. Die krag was ook af. As dit net ek was gee ek nie om nie, maar ongelukkig het ek toe 'n vrou en 9 maande oue baba wat water en krag benodig. Die swembadjie is verwaarloos en 'n muskiet ...

Zululand Trip

Hi Guys, Me and my wife as well as little one just returned from a trip starting in St Lucia, Cape VIdal, then moving to Ndumo, Mabibi Beach, Utshwayelo and lastly Mkhuze. Ndumo was fantastic. We saw lots of normal game, including one week old giraffe calf amongst many of its' young friends in a big...

Re: ZD30 Black Smoke

While were at it... What causes the black smoke cloud? Is it unburned diesel?

Re: ZD30 Black Smoke

Thanks Ian and Joshua,

I almost had a mini-stroke and heart attack simultaneously. Yes, I have a black box fitted.

I have a 105 000 km on the lorry and I fear that dreaded rebuild of 160k.

Warm Regards

Johann

ZD30 Black Smoke

Dear Guys, I am the only driver of my vehicle, and thus never have a chance to really drive behind my own vehicle to see the exhaust fumes. My vehicle does not smoke ever, except for one two scenarios: 1. If the vehicle labours to the point of almost stalling. 2. If the vehicle stalled (as in on an ...

Re: 3.0 - V8 conversion

Michael, if possible, I'd like to fit a non-turbo charged 4.2 diesel. If I convert the 3.0 to a 4.2 NA diesel, can I drive to any Nissan dealership to have it fixed or services or repaired for example? How durable and of what quality is the 4.2 'heart implant'?

Perhaps this is the way to go...

Re: 3.0 - V8 conversion

Hi Guys, The vehicle doesn't have an engine. The motor has issues and has been pulled. The current owner doesn't have the capital to fix the ZD30 up again. Neither do I. That was why I was thinking experimenting with a V8. Because the Aussies seem to nail it. When you guys talk about the 4.5, I take...

3.0 - V8 conversion

Guys, I am thinking of doing a V8 conversion on a 3.0 Patrol. Can anyone advise on a good and professional workshop that will do such a job very professionally. I need the vehicle to be super reliable. I've read the Brunswick page in AUS and seen what they do with various old-school Chevrolet V8's. ...
