Thought I’d start a general thread on D22 lifts, hopefully people can join in and point out if/where I’m in error, because I could have read or measured something wrong (I’m nothing if not an idiot lol) and also because debate could make this a good resource for people thinking about getting one...

Well, it looks like the old girl has finally given up. Unfortunately from the failure of a trivial and cheap part, ie. the small hose that goes between the EGR valve and the block, which cracked and split, causing it to run low on coolant and overheat on the freeway. Unfortunately I changed all...

I looked for the "what did you do to your Navara today" section but couldn't find it, so posted here. What I almost did to my Nav recently is drown it in a river crossing. A very close thing and entirely driver error. Stalled it while crossing a river with water level up over the flares on the...

Well, just had an unusual problem with the old "battery light on start up" foible, familiar to many zd30 owners. Always assumed it was just a foible rather than a problem. Where the induced voltage/current was insufficient to overcome all those diode junctions and get the regulator switching...

No doubt anyone who cares will already be aware of this, but it looks unlikely to be open in 2021 either (from the advice of someone on the "track care" group). Unlikely to be opened until there is a Covid vaccine and the relevant communities have been vaccinated effectively. Fair enough and...

Here's a review of a set of cheap off road tyres (cheap at the time anyway). For those with idealogical, political or racial objections to the purchase of such tyres due to the point of origin, this thread isn’t for you and there’e no need to read on. Don’t do it to yourself lol. For those...

Here is a review of the Noco GB40 jumpstarter. In short, don't bother with this one if your aim is to start anything larger than a motor bike IMO. Apparently the GB 70 does actually work and will start a car with a run down battery, but at around 3 times the price of this one. It's advertised...

Hi all. Have recently had a look over the body mounts looking for causes of certain sounds during low speed cornering. The drivers side looks fine but a couple on the passengers side look a bit iffy. The immediate problem is the rear one on the drivers side cab though. The mount looks fine but...

I recently installed a couple of gadgets to the old girl. One of these http://enginewatchdog.com/tm1.html to monitor temperature and one of these https://daviescraig.com.au/product/low-coolant-level-alarm-kit-12-24v-1035 to warn of burst cooling hoses etc. Got 'em for roughly $130 each kit...

For the more sceptical members, is anyone aware of anything (beyond anecdote) or research or submitted papers that would indicate that retail diesel fuel additives/flushes in general do what they claim (ie. clean dirty injectors)? There are a few youtube claims superficial enough to be...

Anyone used or have any good/bad reports on these? Reviews seem alright. https://www.tyroola.com.au/double-star-t-01-wild-tiger-mud-26575r16-119116n-ty586daa813c.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxrOTh97R1wIVwiu9Ch2uWgH_EAYYASABEgJkdvD_BwE Going to need 4 tyres soon. Also will need a couple of spares...

Hi All. Have decided to give the old d22 a better set of rear springs. I think they (originals) have sagged and I'm getting a bit tired of the side steps getting caught up and the arse dragging on the rougher tracks. Will be going to 32" tyres next time also as they should go straight on without...

G’day all. I recently did some work on the nav that required removing the torsion bars and crossmember. Though I marked everything so I could put it back the same as it was, it had me wondering what the factory ride height and method for achieving this was. Sorry if this procedure is already...

G'day all. Got a bit of a problem with the D22/ST-R. For it's 300 thou service I thought I would go all out and replace the centre tailshaft bearing. Not because there were any noises or anything, was also driving very smooth, only that I noticed the rubber was a bit perished. While I was at...
