admin Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Nar I think it was a black widow bracket.. 25 bucks
Fathom Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 Fitted some lights to the drawer system and added 4 merit outlets and and Anderson plug for the fridge. Can't seem to upload any pics on tapatalk so you will have to use your imagination .. But I think it looks good. Sent by tap tap tapatalk one thumb typing
Bogmeister Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 Pulled all of my pilot gear out/off of my wagon, We pick the new Telstra ute up tomorrow and the real work will begin.

Rumcajs Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Finally pulled my finger.....and fitted second Dawes and 2 stage solenoid. Hooray now I have ability to bring my EGTs ridiculously high at will or thats what I observed so far. Looks like fine tuning is in order, I left second Dawes set at 7 psi just to see what is going to happen if left like that. Cheers
admin Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 Put the new cf25 waeco in the back after soldering a longer cable and Anderson plug to it.
Bogmeister Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 Fitted boost/egt gauges, rear view camera to the ute and Cleaned the I/c, looked at the throttle body and said stuff it, it can stay dirty. I also fixed a loose wire on the wagon spottie. Off to get a 2 3/4 inch zorst tomorrow
Gissmo Posted November 4, 2012 Report Posted November 4, 2012 Fitted the last of my nads,egr blocking plate & Dawes/needle valve wow what a change that makes. hard to get use to the boost going up steadily & constantly
Bogmeister Posted November 5, 2012 Report Posted November 5, 2012 I will post a pic of my egt when I get one in daylight. Had the 2.5 in zorst fitted today with no muffler, finishing at the back of the cab. I love it. I have knocked 2lph off of my fuel consumption and it sounds like a semi. Pulled my tow bar out with the winch on the wagon ( must have been in there for a while). Played with the gauges now that they both work and drove the wheels off of it.
Bogmeister Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 Photo of egt gauge?? I put a pic up in the Bogmeisters new Troll thread, Jus for you lol. Painted and fitted my ugly duckling scoop and put a can of 3 bond manifold cleaner down the throttle body. Dont seem no different tho . Dunno if I really expected anything to happen. Just thought something might
Bogmeister Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 Fitted an air scoop type thing to direct airflow over the front of my canopy, blocked the egr and watched the boost spike to 25+psi then disconected the battery to reset the ecu. If that doesn't fix the boost I will have to adjust the vnt screw
Bogmeister Posted December 14, 2012 Report Posted December 14, 2012 Cleaned it out, changed the air cleaner/oil/ filter, loaded up the fridge and packed some food and had a beer with it. I'm off to Innamincka in the morning for work.
admin Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 Went down the commando (coffs) chicken track in reverse. No fn way was I going up the real track in my rig... Panel damage and embarrassment would have resulted. I did damage drivers side front wheel arch flare. :-(

BusaKaine Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 over Christmas I replaced the carpet, using dBKill on the cab and water proof underlay. Massive Job but much quieter now. Â
Rumcajs Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Started the bloody thing after 7 weeks overseas, not without hiccups though; flat battery, looks like I need the new one...... Feels very strange driving Trol after such time especially when only driving small hatchbacks overseas. Had to think on which side of the road I needed to be too. Oh well back to work today. Cheers
BigGQWesty Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Welcome back Alan. Have just sent you a pm Kallen Westbrook Owner of Westy's Accessories
Rumcajs Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Welcome back Alan. Have just sent you a pmKallen WestbrookOwner ofWesty's Accessories Cheers, all is good, thanks for the great service. On another note, I'm charging my aux battery as it seems unable to run a fridge for no longer than couple of hours. Its only 6 months old (the battery) so I'm hoping its just that, flat. Kinda annoying being on third aux battery and still on OEM Nissan unit. Edited January 26, 2013 by Rumcajs
Bogmeister Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 Did a clean out, moved the phone antenna, found that my dump pipe was about to fall off due to poxy exhaust fitters that wont use lock nuts, ordered my ARE i/c for the CRD, chopped lumps out of my heat shield and will wash it when it cools down (maybe)
Bogmeister Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Fitted my ARE inter cooler (and put the sticker on my EvaKool) That I ordered YESTERDAY morning, trimmed the plastic engine cover and rubber seal.It arrived before 9am. Kudos to Aussie Post. Noticed a 50 to 100c drop in egt. Wound the boost up a little and went to a higher tune.........Cos I can Wound the VNT back a third of a turn again, to try and stop the "boost bounce" at the top of the boost curve. Cleaned out the hoses of the remaining oil from when the EGR went through the inlet. Checked the brake pads and had a beer it
Rumcajs Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Finally decide that it is a time to replace the OEM battery. When voltmeter on ECUTalk goes down to 6 Volts during cranking and it just makes it in this weather (20° in the morning) it is time. So $120 bucks later a new N70ZZL MF is in, surprisingly the original cooling shield also fits but the battery is slightly taller so only just being able to get craddle bracket/tie down to fit. Hopefully this one is going last like the OEM unit, somehow I don't think so.......Has anyone else noticed that after the original battery in wristwatches expires after 5-7 years the replacment one fails just after 12 months. Happy cranking time.....  Cheers
Fathom Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Last weekend... Fitted the rear awning, wired up and fitted some LED strip lights for both awnings, fitted the rear door opener/extension and pulled apart my brake caliper pistons and tidied them up.Â
Fathom Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 You've been a busy lad! Or closer to the truth.. You were, while I passed tools.. Most of the time the correct one...
