Same mate Love my 80

I LOVE HIS VOICE AND ATTITUDE, IT SINGLE HANDIDLY MADE MY DAY, GREAT VIDEO

Hahaha love this guy, "No Good - Say Goodbye To That". this video needs to be used as a welcome to Australian strait talking no bullshit bloke talk.

Best video this one. The mechanic was cool talking all the way through for the video, what a champ.

Considering it has done over 700k kms, what needed to be done isn't that bad. Best part is, after all these refresh parts and service, you should have a fairly reliable and capable 4WD. 👍

I did the exact same thing when I got my 80 Series 4 years ago. Flushed all fluids (including diffs, transmission etc). Replaced all hoses, belts and the OEM radiator. Then re-packed the wheel bearings and replaced the OEM disc brakes for direct fit heavy duty discs and pads. Followed by a suspension upgrade recently. I've always said that if you look after your vehicle well and regularly have their maintenance done, it does not matter how old they are, they will keep going reliably.

“Any gasket goo on that” “Nahhh I’m just gonna send it like that” 😂 So many great one liners in this 😂😂

Trent from Punchy is now a mechanic! Love it!

Great video showing the mechanical work again. I can’t get enough of it. Keep it up.

awsome machanics so fuuny and aussie, love this series keen for more videos

Your mechanic is a funny bloke, loved his explinations and frankness ( if thats a word ) looking good so far

Can confirm those celfi go kits work awesome! We convinced the boss to put them in all the work utes as we are often remote and in the Ute got full reception but if you walk away from the Ute drops to 1 bar and can’t make calls or watch KZread 😂 definitely investing in one for the touring rig.

Old mates at the mechanics are a bunch of top blokes good viewing

When it comes time to get your pump done mate, look up Hastings diesel here in Wauchope, behind the BP servo. Matt is the man when it comes to building any pump and injector combos, he has everything in house, most of the time he'll have every size pump on the shelf ready to go, all boost compensated, then take it next door to momentum 4x4 and get her tuned, Dyno and road tuned.

Cool video. Be really interesting to follow this build. Love the old Nissan Patrols.

Big fan of these two blokes working on the patrol mate. Great vid.

Nice Japan Panzerkamffwagen auf Patrol. I have the previous one and it' s a rock.

LOL brand new cooling system & old mate Nuff is filling it from his garden hose with green glycol.

yep prevention maintenance is a must

@ 23 mins, almost shearing that thermostat bolt and resulting in it being left over weekend. FFS, have and use an impact driver for carpentry with adjustable torque setting (ie top range makita)m not just your big mechanics impact rattle guns. Turn torque down, spray penetrant oil and rattle away on lowest setting and increase torque and rattle away again, and again as you go up, feathering and increasing torque. It will remove and save so many seized fasteners that just twisting by hand would have sheered.

Great Video Tyler, been following you for a wee bit now and the value these mechanical episodes bring are priceless. Especially having experts featured like this episode. 4wd can get repetitive sometimes so hope to see more content like this and perhaps some bush mechanics on the track.

Love your mechanical shop Tyler- these guys are showing and telling you facts about the worn parts as they go and outcome of replacement parts - will not get that honesty from Nee-Saan or Toyota-sun workshops!

Despite not agreeing with "some" of the way things were done it's a great video. Shows pretty much a cooling circuit overhaul on a TD. I own a GU with a TD and have done the above several times. They got lucky with that thermo bolt though. :)

First thing I did when I bought my kettle was overhaul the cooling system. Aftermarket water pump, fan radiator even changed the coolant from green to red.

Great bunch of lads you had working on your patrol. Quality mechanics that are willing to work with you without the fluff are few and far between.

If you can afford it do it properly the first time it will be worth it in the long run for sure 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can't believe you shaun whale is working as a mechanic in port Macquarie now 🤣🤣

Zd30 crd conversion in GQ It gets done For good reason -better motor Atm you have a legendary boat anchor

So satisfying watching professionals at work.

They say GU are stronger because they are bigger but GQs rarely break diffs or axles,it's really for people looking for a wider stance, the brake upgrade is good tho

An awesome video, with so much knowledge. That bloke is a legend, so genuine.

This was so good Tyler. The Mechanic was very informative and funny. Great vid mate

Love how people call TD42’s kettle and lemons.. yet most are 30 years old with well over 500k km’s on them and never broken down 😂 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's just idiots that think they are brilliant mechanics then blow them up because they are actually clueless. A bit like old mate in the video claiming "you can run 30 pound & it won't blow up". Oh yes it bloody well will. Mine is sitting on 604k, never, ever missed a beat & isn't going to let go anytime soon. Then again, I'm a proper mechanic, not a cowboy with a piece of paper

Haha that Nick fella is loose as Great mechanic 👨‍🔧 get him on the show more !

Yeah FIRST compression test...snorkel and TURBO 40% power gain. EGT... and Because the TD42s have a problem with cooling because the cooling ports between the cylinders are small and block up you need to flush the block. Or take the head off and clean lol. Seriously good buy for your partner. She will love you more if you polish bullbar .kits at bunnings. Grinder pads ebay. .

Great to see mechanics that know there stuff

Polly put the kettle on! Well, you buy a 30 year old car, you generally need to budget for a general overhaul/restoration. The beauty of it though, once it is rebuilt, you will have a very reliable, uncomplicated weapon of a 4WD for the next 30 years, as long as you are vigilant with the maintenance. Too early to mention that you should have bought a Landcruiser? Giggles

This would have to be one of my fav vids of yours. Well done.

Built in torque wrench,in here 💪🏻💪🏻 savage 😆

With the fuel filters, if I'm correct, they're saying that the after market is plumbed in as a secondary filter? If so, that's not how they're supposed to be. The after market filters have a less fine filter element so as to let water coagulate and fall to the clear bowl, the factory filter has really fine element that can actually break water down small enough that it can pass through to the engine. You need that after market filter 1st for water trapment then factory filter second for finer particles.

What a episode loved it tailor you guys have good content and I always look forward for the episodes 👍🍻

If i had a Nissan or when I do, I’d be making the Drive to these mechanics. Sure do know what there talking about & honest. Fix all the shit whilst it’s apart instead of half assin shit. Good job guys

No more tea bag jokes now 😂😂😂, thats good mate, definitely needed some tlc 👍👍🤠

Great mechanic and a character, maybe some episodes with Nick will be interesting not your typical episode though

The mechanics are a crack up 😂.

Good technical video. Good to know how to keep the TD42 cool .

great start to your rebuild...awesome mechanics.id chuck the young bloke on the bench for nsw game 2 what a legend

I can only suggest one other item for your cooling overhaul, a proper temperature gauge. The one in the dash can be unreliable or "as seen on TV" an engine guard. I really like the way you include the mechanics comments and advice. Happy cool running mate.

Just to yet you know, the celfi units can be gotten from telstra themselves and paid off via repayments on your telstra accout

Good content! I own a kettle and from mid north. definitely going to give this bloke at Port a look because Iv sure got a challenge for him and I like his attitude 👌

That was entertainment plus, those boys were funny as.

Got an idea for your next project 💡 buy another patrol and do a build on it, something that hasn’t been done before

Blokes who want to run 35" tyres on a GQ get the diffs from a 2.8 litre Patrol which has a different ratio to the 4.2 litre & brings the speedo back into line with the correct speedo readings. It used to be the case that Ford Maveric parts were the same as Nissan ones but, less expensive. I don't know if that is still the case but, worth looking into.

hi Hope u replaced condenser , removed cleaned evaporator , Replaced receiver drier and tx valve Around 4--5hrs labour including regas

those mechanics are hilarious! but they know their stuff!

awesome tyler been waiting to see the GQ get some love

Looks like you took it too the right place, those guys are good. Built in torque wrench lol.

That engine will run nicely now that the cooling system is all up to scratch.. looking forward to seeing how the GQ evolves... May take over the GU...😁🤪,.

its a good idea to close the gap between the radiator and the support panel as a lot of air escapes this way thus making it easier for the fan to draw the air through the core of the radiator .This gap was closed from new when it came out of the factory.

Really enjoyed this video, Tyler. Started with the viscous fan for my GQ polish up too,

Thanks mate need a good set of lads that know there way around td42

These guys need to be your go to guys mate class guys

Good job by the mechanics.

700,000 km and you have to refurbish the cooling system. 435,000 miles that's just shy of travelling to the moon....... and back! Any vehicle from any manufacturer would need some maintenance at that hefty mileage - surely a vehicle with that amount of mileage would need this budgeted in for. Very clean unit despite mileage, almost a shame to modify it!

Great informative video. Gives me the right thoughts for my GU Patrol. Will done.

Those mechanics are legends, funny as

Another great clip mate, thanks for sharing. I tell you what though, no gasket on the water pump 🤔🤔 not real keen on that personally. I know what he means too about the windows down in summer with the heater blowing flat out - my Holden Astra got like that recently before I got rid of it. Fingers crossed you have it all sorted and no dramas from now on with overheating. 👍👍

Click bait title but I really enjoyed that high pitched dude, he was a pissa

That white 100 series though...

This mechanic sounds like the mechanic in Mad Max 1

27:43 that's bright. Haha

Should I or Shouldn't I watch this. Probably be boring. WRONG. these blokes were brilliant. Take him out for a weekend,. He could be your travelling mechanic.

Definitely have well and truly switched to the solid axel life now. Ps TD means turbo diesel 🤙

Very intetesting... 😀

Wow 2 core rad. There's a future problem. I run a 4 core brass/copper rad. Never have issues.

Solid vid mate bunch of legends👌

Seem like good knowledgeable blokes to take ya rigg to. If i were in port macquarie i know where i would take my 4x4.

There is s fuel filter as the diesel goes into the injector pump. You are better to stick to 4.1 diffs and look at a low boost turbo. Even 7 to 10 lb boost makes a huge difference Look at the clearance between the water pump and the housing. should almost touch. I have only been using mine for 20 years with turbo and only replaced the water pump and clutch

Mechanic mate is so funny great video

“That’s disappointment right there” funny as.

I remember when mine was gramp special mine has the front and middle factory bash plate too

One word. OM606

nice fc rx7 in the background 😍😍

Yeah if your gonna cowboy tune your TD, smack a 18g turbo straight on and not upgrade the cooling system. You're looking for trouble.

it also has a built in water sensor and adding another filter will starve the pump of fuel and wear it out prematurely
