Gu Patrol manual to auto conversion

6 Grand?? Gulp thats hard to swallow......At this stage the H/D Safari sounds like the right option.

Cheers

It will be more, but at that price I wont be doing it...

Unless I can find the parts, and fit them myself, and then get them to do the Auto wiring and shizzle..

finding a GOOD gearbox is the hard part he says.. They are $4000 to rebuild..!

Why did you get a price for the auto? You have a manual now?

Auto, far superior offroad and on road and since the power up, my clutch is fubar too...

But auto was on the cards before I bought the truck. I also have 1 leg that dont work.

search outerlimits for threads on clutches, I think the Daiken also gets a good mention, but nobody has ever mentioned over a grand, let alone 2500....

Hey Truckie - Daiken and Exeddy are one and the same company these days. $2500 is not too bad for a HD clutch and a flywheel.....flywheel alone from Nissan is approx $3000.

kewl..

Will call the dude sarvo to see what the final figure was.. Sadly I think I'll be posting it in Friday Funnys.

Well the price hasnt gone down - its gone up!

They need a wiring loom - this comes from Nissan Japan.. BUT... there are 3 different ones- up to $750-800 FOR SOME bleep IN WIRE AND PLUGS!

Im going to ask the bloke for a break down of the prices on the quote, what costs what and how hard to laugh.

And at the end of the day, I dont know if this comes with a reconditioned gearbox or just one from a wrecker!

Yes the safari clutch kit without flywheel costs around the $800-$900 mark then the solid mass fly wheel costs $900 then $600 for labour. I'm just figuring that while it's apart I may as well get it replaced with a clutch and flywheel that will last longer than the dodgy standard Nissan clutch and dual mass flywheel. An extra $1200 now will save me more cost in another 60,000 when the clutch dies again.

didnt know the 4.2 had the bleep ty dual mass job..

Diesel,

My clutch, the original one lasted 115,000km. I do a fair bit of towing off road and the car also taught the daughter to drive. I figure that cost me a fair bit of clutch life.

I expect to get closer to 150,00km out of this one.

Truckster,

You could run rings around me on the tech specs of the GU. I have no idea what type of flywheel my GU has except that it is the one it left the factory with.

Duncs

na IM still a virginon GU..
but I know the grenade has the dual mass...

4.2 has solid flywheel
