conversion

I'm about to purchase a complete interior and engine loom from gold coast patrols and mechanical. The new loom will convert a new rd28 interior loom to suit my car (my current loom is melted) and converts it beautifully to the td42 that's in it now. I'm going to undertake the install process of...

I know there has been discussion about this before but nothing recent, I’m going to buy a complete rear end off another coil patrol to convert my leafy, and I know it’s not as easy as it sounds. If anyone on here has done one recently or in the past what parts did you end up reusing/replacing...

Hey guys I have just sold my patrol and am looking for a new Y61 in the UK. I have found one which is a ZD30 but has been personally converted to a TD42. The car itself has done 180k and the motor 120k. For £5k is it worth the buy, the logbook still states a 3.0L so would need that changed etc...

Hi all. Just thought I'd do a write up of what was required for a ZD30 DI GU conversion from manual FS5R50B to auto RE4R03A and vice versa. We both had 2003 model ZD30 di ST GU (series III) patrols. I don't know whether this guide applies to other series or the CRD. Both our cars had the 4.3...

G'day all, Welcome to the build thread for the conversion of my 1998 GU TB45E auto to a factory turbo TD42T. Background: A few years back my TB45E head was needing a reco due to many years on LPG, at which point in time I decided to ditch LPG and run straight petrol with long range tank (I...

Happy New year everyone! My RD28 has died and I don't wish to rebuild it again. I'm sold on the idea of an LS1 conversion with auto box - but am wondering if anyone can suggest / recommend where I can get the conversion done in Melbourne or Victoria. Being short of time, and a little bit...

Hey guys. The box in my GQ has spit out chunks of synchro and I reckon she is on the way out. Has anybody on here tried to fit up a different box to their trolls? Im keen on the idea of a 6 speed just for something different. Discuss. Cheers

Hey guys, I have a GQ patrol with an ARB bar on it and as I'm sure a lot of you know it's nigh on impossible to find a used winch bar for a GQ. Apparently it is possible to do a conversion on a bar if you strengthen the mounting points and fairlead points ect. but has anyone ever actually done...

Hey guys, I've recently started a TD42t conversion so I thought I'd post up a progress/how to/question thread. I'm trying to take as many photo's as possible along the way. I found myself a cheap TD42t GQ silvertop with 220,000 on the clock. It has a DTS turbo kit and a straight out 3"...

Got hold of this ol girl about a month ago. It's a 91 GQ, nothin to fancy, just a stocko tb42 5spd. Altho this one has velour seats and leccy windows which my old one didnt have, so I feel a bit special haha. Pretty much all stock with a 2" suspension lift. First thing to go was the ugly roof...
