I have the same as u twisty Nice basic lil unit Gottheshits the specs r very similar, the gme has a smaller mic which is nice, the icom has a bulky mic Other than that not a hole lot of diff Liability wise the icom would take the prize The lil gmes have a problem of doing p.a modules Especially if there is an antenna fault somewhere along the line

I'm still in shock from seeing that back flab flap

Sounds like have more than likely a fault, could be a shorted coax, and open circuit coax or a blown P.A in the radio antennas them selfs r reasonable reliable, is the antenna u have designed for UHF?

Fixed rattle in rear seat. One less think to worry about and turned on my awning led strip to test in the dark hehe:)

This is just wrong

My missus' dog is an 18 year old barkin fark in chawowa which I can't stand, it stands at the door and barks and barks so u feed it and then it barks and barks so I close the blind and get in trouble for doing that and it barks and barks but she loves it grrrrr they are weekend ruiners hey, fortunately it's 18

If ur gonna hit it and it can't be avoided try for the main structural part of bullbar inline with chassis for minimal damage

Just fitted led strip light to my awning Thanks to Dronus for the idea Works a treat

That's lovely but u r missing the point of this topic, y don't u post this in the actual thread on hear or p4x4 and then u can actually discuss it with the OP?

Lol thanks dude but I have no real interest there anymore other than to be nosey which isn't doing anyone any favors really Have a good weekend

Welcome david Good to have u on board What engine u got in the gu?

Na mate sorry Since 2004 I have been an active member and I have never seen the forum like this The people are the forum that's the issue It's sad don't get me wrong but meh I'm over it

MikeGQ Just jumped on to have a laugh at you all, ban me if u will but this place is rooted. Here for example you have a very knowledgable turbo technician fitting, modding and rebuilding turbos for years giving very good and commonly used infomation to (FUNNILY ENOUGH) help others that may need it and he gets comments like above with no reason, totally unnesisarry IMO. I have been a member from the beginning and this place really has gone south. Now I know y glort removed all his posts, y bother those who don't appreciate it. I feel the same way ATM. You should all get off you high horses. This is a bloody technical forum designed to help other patrol enthusiasts, sadly it's no longer worth of that title it's just a forum of slander. Good work

Benos What gives us the honor of your presence I'm shocked!

MikeGQ Legend!

MiniMackGQ Tell us how you test yours Benno

BennoGU28 The above 'test' is the biggest load of horse **** I have heard in a long time.

As the thread went...... MiniMackGQ So your turbo is leaking oil or your bearings have worn out? Checking that your turbo is not being over or under supplied is easy. The way we do it where i work is : Make sure oil level in sump is good. One person in car with stop watch and another under the hood. Remove oil feed line to turbo and any fittings in top of turbo fit back to oil feed line. You need to catch the oil in a measuring jug. Start the engine run at idle and when the oil comes out the line start timing 15 secs. Shut engine off, running turbo for 15secs at idle is not a problem but if you have to repeat test use oil can to pump some oil into oil feed. You then times the amount of oil caught by 4 to get your litres per minute (LPM). For ball bearing turbos you need 1.5-1.8 LPM and plain bearing turbos 1.8-2.0 LPM. These figures we have used for years and will ensure your turbo is not over or under suppiled. If your LPM is not enough then you may have to increase oil feed line size or pick oil supply closer to oil pump usually oil pressure sensor is the best spot to tee into. People always ask what size restrictor to use in the oil supply line but it's not that simple as (turbo A requires restrictor C) . Because you can have 2 engines of the same model lets say TD42's both running Garrett GT2860rs turbos but if 1 engine has i slightly worn oil pump then the oil line/ restrictor will be different. Thats why you need to check "your" engines oil flow. Hope this helps save a turbo Cheers MiniMackGQ

Ah I think ur on it dude Cheers

But it thinks u r 7 more excellents than me and that's a load of crapolla..... Seriously what's the deal?

WINDSCREENS OBRIEN you wont want me as ur customer when I am at ur door at 730 tomorrow morning............
