Taken the plunge - GU 4.2 ordered

Hi peter,

Congratulations on the new purchase! Hoping you have a better run with the 4.2 than the 3.0ltr. Does it come with alloys???? ;-)

All the best for xmas.

Peter,

Congratulations, great choice in truck.........

G'day Pete,

so you've driven both, why did you decide to "SUPERSIZE"

G'day Peter,
Congratulations on your decision to come over "from the dark side"...hahaha
I will be interested to see if your feelings are the same as a couple of other blokes I know, who both say the 4.2 is a better vehicle than their previous 3L.
Of course, you need to factor-in the 4.2's seemingly long run-in period.....mine didn't start to free up until it had done almost 40,000klm.
Here's hoping that most/all of your accessories will transfer straight over.
Cheers for a great silly season too mate.
Roachie and family.

Gday Pete.
Good choice mate, tho be prepared for a few things.
Untill the 1000k service, ours was like driving a slug...u know......put the foot down and nothing happens.
these things actually have a computer in them and the wiring is fine as long as you dont add anything,,,,if you do, the only real chassis earth is through the sub tank fuel pump wiring.
make damn sure that you earth the body to the chassis.there is a bolt under the passenger front door and one directly opposite it on the chassis(this bolt holds a cover for something),,,,,,,use these and make sure you use real big wire......i used 26mm battery cable.
the arab spec body lights are available thru nissan at about $300 per side,,,,and are really bright.
We have only done 2,500k in ours so far but it seems to be getting better as the milage increases, tho we will be getting the turbo and exhaust upgrade done when we get back from Denham, hopefully with about 5000k on the clock.
do your shins a favour and remove the "tow hook" from the back bumper,,,,it hurts like hell when you hit it,,,,,,and i personally wouldnt use it for towing after seeing the back of the loop welds.
Flip the trailer plug to the other side of its bracket, as it is real vulnerable way out where it is. If you have air bags, the bolt holes for the plug are the perfect place to run the valve's too.
If you have a C/T, check the length of your chains before you need to use it, as the chain holder on the tow bar is set back a fairway.
Any questions,,,,just fire away.

Wish I could make up mind !

Merry Xmas

When you think about it it isnt a hard decision is it...

Well done Peter,

Bought mine in August and am very happy with it. I put BF Goodrich All-Terrains on mine and it has put the Speedo out a bit. It now reads slow by approx 7-8 k at 100

Marks 4WD adaptors do an adjustable corrector fo a couple of hundred dollars.

I also put in a Helton Heat Exchanger (Hot Water type) which fits neatly on the Intercooler bracket.

Good luck!!!
