Ek stem saam somtyds kan n mens baie sukkel met aftermarket goed. Die maatskappy Gotech by Lanseria lughawe bou elek. ign. sisteme wat hulle op vliegtuig engines gebruik ek is seker so iets sal betroubaar wees. Maar ek weet n ou wil altyd so na aan oorspronlik bly as moontlik. Ek hoop jy kom reg met n engine.
Groete Christo

Dankie Christo
Ek het vandag Allan van Schoor se ou 4.5 engine gekoop, hy is op pad van die kaap af.

Congrats Peter, glad to hear that you`re making progress!
I think a 4.5 in a GQ will be a very nice drive.
Good Luck with the installation.

Ja. Die 4.5 GQ is myne. Ek was nog nie n forum lid toe ek die oorplanting gedoen het nie,
Ek het n Tb42e met n TB45e vervang en dit was baie maklik. Net die brandstof inspuiing en elektroniese ontsteking moes bietjie aangepas word.
Baie krag en goeie brandstof verbruik.(5.5 tot 7 km/l). Het nou al 50k km op die nuwe enjin.
Ek sal wel die verkoeler moet laat vergroot , want die temperatuur styg effens wanneer ek lank al die krag gebruik teen lang opdraendes.

Volgens die manuals is die verkoelers dieselfde maar kan nie mooi sien nie ......is jou wiskus nog 100% ?

Ja , hy werk nog goed. En die een op die kar ook.
Onthou daar is 285/75 bande , die automatiese ratkas olie loop ook deur die verkoeler en die verkoeler het amper 600k km op.
Nounet terug van 1900km trippie na Transkei met n vol kar en swaar waentjie en ek moes maar net die temp dophou teen die lang opdaendes.
6.2km/l.
Die toere teller het wel ophou werk sonder rede. weet iemand dalk watter kleur is die sein draadjie wat na die instumente lei? ( ek is te lui om die manual te raadpleeg)

Well chaps, I can confidently report that old man Murphy still loves me...
The 4.5 motor arrived on Monday evening. It has obviously been standing idle in the see air for a while, as there is a fair amount of surface rust, but I guess nothing too serious.
The bad news is that the 4.2's intake manifold does not fit onto the 4.5 head. Fortunately the ports line up, but they are rather different in shape and size and the bolting is compltely different. Furthermore the 4.2's thermostat is part of the manifold, but on the 4.5 it is a seperate component. So I will have to grind off the thermostat housing and make an adapter flange to fit between the engine and the manifold.
Another concern is the distributor: that of the 4.5 does not have a vacuum advance, so I need to adapt the 4.2's dizzy to fit. Fortunately the nose of the casting of the dizzy bodies are the same, but the gearing is toatally different, and the timing adjustment bolt's spacing is a couple of mm different. But I will probably be able to transfer the gear across and modify to fit.
The other small issue I have noticed is that the 4.2 has a small bleeder pipe between the top of the radiator and the top of the thermostat housing, while the 4.5 doesn't. As this is probably a useful feature, I will have a look at building this in.
I can also report that the clutches are the same, that Nissan's price for a clutch is not much more than the pirates. My clutch plate was actually still in remarkably good condition, but the thrust/release bearing was on it's last legs.

Haioj daar P/ter -- oompie sit nog met jou se waatrpomp -- Hoe lyk daai een? skrou as jy die een norig het vir gougou -- da bring ik hom.
Ek probeer uitmaak -- maar 'k lees die detail mis -- sit jy net die 4,5 se HEAD op jou ou enjin - of sit jy die hele 4,5 enjin inni RoiOs in ??
