A definate recovery item.......

I dunno think of all the xtra stuff you would see from birdsville to darwin via lawn hill ...... at idle speed

Take a leaf out of the WRC (world rally champs) book, have seen many occasions where the co-driver has to whip out the laces from their shoes and set up to pull the throttle body manually through the window ! Have also seen one crew finish a stage with the bonett up on the windscreen , drivers head out window, co-driver laying across the engine bay working the throttle to the calls of the driver. Looked like fun NOT... These guys come up with some amazing tricks to finish races.

Seriously, yeah not a bad idea, could be stuffed in behind a panel real easy.

Hi Voxson,thats good advice . How much do they cost.Ill carry one in my set up.I hope all is well
regards the uppies

Well,, i know the part number for td4.2 gq is 1820102500 $37.50 icl gst...from nissan...

We broke a throttle cable a Mitsubitshi truck when I used to work weekends as a furniture removalist for Telstra. We hooked up a bunch of mouse leads from the PC's we were carrying at the threaded it through the grill, under the bullbar into the cab. Worked a treat as a hand throttle to get us back to the warehouse.

Strewth... My jack dosent have a throttle cable....maybe I'll have to keep to civilisation?

I carry a couple of metres of tie-wire....good for fixing lots of things.

Voxson, the GU 4.2 has a hand throttle there already, how many more should I carry?

if you brake a accelerator cable , why not just screw the revs up a little , you wont fly , but you will get home . 1200 rpm , should be good for 70kmh

so fly by wire should we carry a spare sender/actuator?
just kidding

I once drove the old suzuki home using plastic clothesline rope for a throttle cable - had to stop every 50 km or so to retension it :)
