Hey guys been on here for about 3 years, thought its about time to do a members thread, now that i've got something interesting to show.
Its an 05 series 4 and my duramax project has finally started, thought i'd throw up some teaser pics for ya's. Sorry about the crappy quality iphone pics.
Edit: for anyone who's interested its an lmm DURAMAX.
I thought the same thing but i got beaten by a bloke in Townsville with an 08 Ti, i've had the engine and box for a year now just been patiently waiting for it to be done.
Awesome work mate, ive been patiently waiting to see someone do this. Does the body lift need to be done to fit the donk or can it be done without that mod?

Good to see it is underway. Was at Heaths on the wkend checking it out.
Got some more work to do to mine over the christmas break to feed more air....then more power! Got my fully built gearbox in too, so it will handle it. Dont know about the rest of the drivetrain.
I bet you cant wait! Good things come to those who wait hey. At least I wasnt the only one who had the motor for a year! haha.

I'm considering getting a built gearbox too, do you mind telling me how much your gearbox cost, Heath told me what its worth to do i've just forgotten. Have you figured out what your gonna do for an airbox yet?
Looks great - just a question, is it going to be difficult to mount the dump pipe off that turbo? From the pictures it looks like you couldnt get a toothpick between there!
Hi all, well I'm back in the Patrol game after a semi brief stint in an STX 550 Navara. Turns out I just couldn't shake the idea of a nice solid Patrol. The nav was nice enough, the V6 diesel ran well, but the trans really **** me. The tuning/logic of it was just all over the place and I really...
Ok I've never bothered with a build Thread for my truck, it's far to late for that.
So any way I have been keen on a dual cab for the last few years and with the condition of my truck being fubar I was on the look out for a blown series 4 zd to swap the body or engine round(which ever way was...
due to popular demand...something about a duramax?!
i will start a bit of a build thread. will see how i go with time.
she started out as a standard 05 3.0l ST with nissan bar snorkel and driving lights.

Having owned my ute now for 4 months, I've finally got time to do a little tidy up and start making changes to suit my tastes better.

Hey guys I'm starting this post which will be ongoing as I complete the modifications required to get the turbo to fit as I have started an upgrade on my GQ RD28 to get it into the boost earlier, people always seem to put a bigger turbo on which makes no sense to me so I'm going the opposite way...
