How do you connect the drill to the GPS?

See the event information: Diesel & Sparks. There is a lot of brave talk here so lets see if they have the balls to back it up!

Cheers

Hi Michael.

Only came across this thread now. VERY WELL DONE
now I understand why Tinus talks so highly of you. EXCELLENT

Don't mind these guys with there 4.8 speedsters, they are only good from robot to robot. From Gauteng to Cape town the oil burners wil win. Simply because they dont need to fil up every 300k's

Josh.... you rock my friend....hahahaha
Long live the oil burners...... real trucks don't have spark plugs...plain and simple !!!

Hell we are being invaded!!!! See all the petrol boys fuel bills going up having to tow all these oil burners around so the get to the events on time!!!!

Ummmm ....if I recall it was a GQ 4.2 PETROL that came late....hahah.... sorry Mr Rod.......

and its always advisable to not come first..... let the others have there fun..... ( get your minds out the gutters people )

Ai tog Cedric, why do you slander us like this.

Rod's is a 4.2 Diesel. Normally aspirated, I believe, which will acount for his arrival date. I mean time...

Thanks so much Josh, I really put in alot of time and love into this rebuild. And for me it is worth every second!!

Another update on how my mods are going

I finally got my rear mud flaps cut and installed....
Boost gauge installed and working perfect

On the way to the ralley event Tinus drove behind me and noted that my Patrol makes ZERO smoke under boost which points to the engine running a bit lean.

So after the boost gauge install I gave the fuel screw another 1/4 turn for more fuel and WOW!! So much more alive!!

The boost now come in at around 1,300rpm and I have 0.7bar at 2,200rpm. EGT seems slightly higher but still way safe and didnt go over 510deg on the highway

Oh yes and before I forget.....
