Hey mate I would have only used about 2x large tins in this video because my wagon has been coated many times before. if it was a first application it would be more like 4 or 5.

Hi Kylie, sorry about the slow response I have been flat out with work. My Re4 trans has been rebuilt by JD transmission with heavy duty internals and a custom low stall converter. The mod I'm referring to in this video though is the pump pressure regulator. There are probably better ways to increase atf pressure but all it did was fit a 4K ohm resistor in line with the factory line pressure resistor that you find near the brake booster on the fire wall. hope this answers your question.

Hey Mate If by sprinkler you mean the brass headed pipe you see me feeding into the chassis ? that is actually a drain cleaning head for the pressure washer. And should be available for most brands of well known pressure cleaners.

Cheers bud I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🤙🏼 Sounds like your onto a good thing too.

Cheers mate 🤙🏼 I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully gives you the inspiration you needed to get started on your own.

Hey mate I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve actually had a few people wanting more detail on the rear bar. So I’m going to make a sort video very soon to go into a little more detail. Keep an eye out for video coming soon 🤙🏼

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 woohoo! Awesome I am looking forward to it!

Thanks mate I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I can try help with my very limited knowledge ( not a mechanic ) I would absolutely recommend looking up zd30 warriors on Facebook and joining. It’s a great page full of information regarding these engines and quite a few very knowledgeable people 🤙🏼

Thanks bud I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. Unfortunately life got in the way of CZcams and I have yet to get back into it. The little mower definitely needs the engine upgrade though. I can hopefully get something sorted soon 👍

Thanks bud I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤙🏼

Hey bud I’m still loving my tune 12 months later. I had to re adjust all of my boost control system after the tune because the tune changes the behaviour of the fuel system. Mine was over boosting to start with as well. I re adjusted it down to 22psi and have recently turned it down to 19psi and I’m finding that suits it best 👍

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 I have been trying to call them for days now even messageing over Facebook and they won't get back to me are you just using a tillix kit to do all this I'm worried that 27+ pounds of boost is to much

So basically the ecu tune can’t really control the boost. I’m not sure why they are not getting back to you as I don’t have a connection to boarder automotive I’m just another customer like you. And yes I have the tillix and needle setup on mine so I have plenty of adjustability. If you are running the factory boost control system I would suggest getting something like the tillix system asap. I would try avoid long drives and heavy workloads until you get it sorted. Running over 22psi long term is only going to cause drama’s with the turbo. If you are not already on the zdwarriors page on Facebook I highly recommend joining. Lots of very knowledgeable guys in the group 👍

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 cheers for the info mate didn't won't to name drop lol i saw you're video on zd30di mods and made me think stuff it I will do it to so copying you got the ecu dome then wanted to ask you if the demon airbox and pipes are worth the money in regards to profomance don't expect the di to be a sports car just want to tow the camper trailer a bit easier

No problem bud and yes in my opinion the demonpro is worth the money. In saying that all of these mods are dependent on each other and will give you grief if not fitted all at the same time. The ecu tune demands more air flow and boost, the demonpro setup flows more air and without the tune it will upset the ecu. And they all need fine tuning via an after market boost controller. So if you follow you are best to do all or nothing. My Di makes very reliable power and has no problem maintaining hwy speeds up hill fully loaded with the camper behind. That’s all I wanted to achieve.

Cheers bud And yes I’ve been on the warriors page for a very long time. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people in that group that know a hell of a lot more about these motors then me. I’m just learning on the fly. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🤙🏼

Yeah mate The heater core was leaking and it just doesn’t get cold enough in Brisbane to motivate me to rip half the interior out 😅

Hey bud I’ve just done the resistor mode to increase the line pressure from the pump. You can find lots of information online just google re4 resistor mod. Or just unplug the resistor. I also had a custom low stall converter made to make the most of the low rev range off road 👍

Hey bud The company is boarder automotive. There is a link to their website in the video description 👍

Of course not mate That would be illegal 😬 I definitely didn’t do the swirl butterfly delete either 😜

😂 it’s blow by oil mate calm down The engine oil looks like honey. Ben the guru Or Ben the troll

Cheers mate I’m no mechanic myself just sharing a bit of diy info to hopefully save people some money. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🤙🏼

Ahh ok I have busted a large mix of different sway bar related components over the 11 years of off roading this patrol. Both front and rear bars are currently fitted but yet to be tested 🤞

My AC works fine ??

No mate The mighty 3.0

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 The vehicle 2.6 ton + your bull bars 1 ton + accessories 500kg Total 4.1 ton Zd30 - 3L Can you climp up hill not so high one?

Jeez mate The bar work is made from mild steel not lead. The car in its current form and fully loaded weights 3180kg ( I’ve had it at the weigh station ) And the ZD30 dose just fine. Easily out preforms most td42 coffee makers 👍

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 well zd30 engine not powerful enough... For Patrol 2.6 ton ... ( Only drive in town's) but if off-road you gonna burn the engine... Or keep buying new Clutch kit...

Hahaha I’ve been heavy off-roading the zd30 patrol as it sits for 11 years and have put over 400000 kms on it. Maybe you had a bad experience with a ZD or probably never had one. I’ve had both 4.2 and now ZD and they make different power in different ways Personally I prefer the zd

Hey bud I’m flattered you like it enough to want one on your own rig. Unfortunately the original cast was destroyed long ago. Plus fibreglass work is really not my strongest skill 😅

Cheers for the comment bud 🤙🏼 The way demonpro design it and the way I did it. Is to just cut the flange off the factory MAF section and use it as part of the new setup. I’ve been told they do this as the best option because it keeps the MAF in its proper metering perspective. Hope this helps 👍

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 absolute legend thanks for the response, i bought the box and pipe not realising the factory maf wouldnt work, then looked at the photos and they had a manufactured plastic pipe by the looks of it, modding out the flange sounds like the go, cheers heaps

No dramas mate Glad I could help 🤙🏼

Thanks mate and a merry Christmas too you too. I’m glad you are enjoying the content. I think the cops in Brisbane are a little more easy going even if I got defected on a 4x4 beach. It’s the only time in 9+ years a cop has even looked at the GU. I’m pretty sure I’d be jailed if I drove through Sydney 😬

Hey bud I’m glad you enjoyed watching. And yeah that was not my first fight with the grinder and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Coil, leaf, independent whatever option you take at least you are building your own 👌

Hey bud I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Congrats on the 98 GU That’s a super early series 1. You don’t see too many of them around in good condition. The bull bar on my GU is the factory Nissan bar for series 2 and 3. They are actually made by ARB for Nissan Australia. The only difference between the ARB deluxe and the Nissan bar is the rubber pads on the front 🤙🏼

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 legend 🙌 cheers for the reply yeah man second owner with paperwork yewww interesting to hear that thanks 👍 had my guess on arb as side steps definitely are but may also be stock for ser1, thinking about doing my own scrub rails and just trying to base off something

That’s the go mate Enjoy your patrol they are an awesome rig 👍

Dead right brother as a young fella only affording smaller 4x4s and constantly forking out for cvs old and kinda new haha I thought fuck it I'm going a big girl! Don't think I'll look back!

Thanks for watching the video mate I’m glad you enjoyed it. You are 100% correct the demonpro intake has nowhere for the maf. It has been designed so as you will need to cut the flange end off your factory maf section and install the factory pipe as part of your new setup. This may seem odd after you just spent all the time and money on making everything bigger to flow better. They do this deliberately for the maf to work correctly. The maf needs the correct Venturi in order to meter the air flow, volume and pressure. I hope this helps bud 🤙🏼

Thanks mate. Big help. Appreciate it. 🙏

Hey bud I apologise if you are having trouble with the video. I have audio at my end and no issue when I checked on other devices. I’m not sure why it didn’t work for you 😬

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 oh really, that is strange because every other video I am watching has audio. I go back to it and try again, most likely a tech issue but still Strange. I actually watched your video with the subtitles on lmao

Let me know mate I’m curious now. I know the audio is a bit shit on this video but it is there. Maybe CZcams was just having a bit of a moment.

Cheers bud Be sure to check out my other shed built projects. And more to come 🤙🏼

You are more than welcome Thanks for asking 👍

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 Thanks a lot!

Hi sorry to hear that. It sounds like you have covered just about anything I would have in the same situation. If it’s a crd it could be a injector coding issue? If DI I would be going over all the wiring and connectors As well as checking for any leak down problems with the lines or filter. I’m no expert mate I’m not even a mechanic. My best suggestion for you would be to get on Facebook and join ( ZD30 warriors ) It’s a really helpful group with some very knowledgeable members. I’m sorry I can’t help more but as I said I’m no expert I just like to tinker at home.

Cheers bud I’m pretty stoked with how it turned out 🤙🏼

Cheers bud Thanks for the encouragement 🤙🏼

Haha Thanks for the vote of confidence mate but what I’m trying to say with these videos is you can do it yourself. I’m just a chippy with a very basic range of tools and average skills 👍

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 I’m a youth worker with hand tools 😂 looks good though mate I’d happily run something like that on my rig

Cheers I appreciate it bud. Keep watching Maybe I will motivate you to get yourself a welder 🤙🏼

Cheers bud Prevention is always better than repair. I hope you are enjoying the content 🤙🏼

Yep totally agree the piston is available separately and is more often then not the problem 👍

Thanks for the comment mate I’m glad you enjoyed the video. And yes you can’t beat a patrol 🤙🏼 I also have a shit time doing engine mounts. As for the expansion tank. I’ve had this patrol for 11 years and that is just the level mine likes to sit at 🤷🏻‍♂️ Never gets any lower 👍

Cheers for the comment mate👍 Needing all the seats doesn’t leave a lot of room in the back. Gotta work with what you have 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@shedbuiltoutdoorgear2953 absolutely I have a converted td4.2 love working on it doing mods the rear bar and doing a custom center consol is next. Keep the vid coming mate nice work🍺

Thanks heaps bud It means a lot. Enjoy working on that patrol and saving $ at the same time 🤙🏼
