Tyler, I don't follow the insta crowd, so anything you do here on youtube is most welcome.
Same mate, I’m not interested in having 5000 friends but no one to talk too
Same
Good to see I'm not the only dinosaur that wants nothing to do with the other nonsense.

Don't forget to leave a Google review for that Nissan dealer.
This video sums up stealerships your car mechanic sounds like a great guy
Your Dad is a legend 😊🇦🇺
Since I bought my ute new it's had to be towed three times. Twice due to dealership "mechanics" that don't know what they are doing and once due to a 4wd shop that didn't know what they were doing. Now I do all the work on it myself and haven't had a problem with it since.
Morale of the story don't let dealers push you around ,calmly and politely ask the nitwits to address your problem ,if they don't ask if that is Nissan Australias official position on the matter ,and how exactly do you spell the managers name. The change in attitude is incredible ,they were literally falling over themselves to help.
4:30 yes, water is absent, so by the time the air heats up to show high temps, it's all over. Maybe a coolant loss alarm like Redarc or Davies Craig?
Okay thanks for the help mate!
Redarc alarm essential kit. Saved my 1hz
@@TylerThompson90 The radiator system works on pressure. Pressurised water won't boil which is why you have a radiator cap with a pressure rating. Go out to your car and pop the bonnet and start to undo the radiator cap. You will notice it gets loose before undoing and coming off. When doing it up it goes on and then turns about 1/4 of a turn before tightening. When it is loose like this the cap is on but the system will not pressurise.If you ever have a water leak from a cracked radiator/broken hose or heater hose leak or anything like that what you do is run the system without pressure which will stop the coolant being forced out of your system. 1- let the system cool down. If you are competent you can use a rag on the radiator cap and slowly release the cap till it becomes loose (unpressurised) but do not take it off while it is hot. Even loosening it while hot is dangerous as you risk being being seriously scolded if you are not careful. Best course of action is do not release it while under pressure (like a pressure cooker). If the engine is hot, run the engine and very slowly pour water into the radiator. Do not pour it in fast or you risk cracking the block or head by cooling them too fast from the sudden change in temperature. If you are short of water you can even wee in the radiator if there is no water available to top the water level up. You can then run the vehicle without the radiator cap done up tight and you can go miles like this. To help, you can turn the heater on to help expel heat. Often when you deal with dealerships you get the apprentice doing the work and talk to the workshop manager on the phone who will talk porkies to cover themselves. Stick to your mechanic. There are no guages that will work off hot air but you can get a guage installed which is far better than a warning light. If the guage stops showing temperature while you are driving then it is because there is no water but at least you have a visual temperature guage to see. Makita battery chainsaws from what I have seen work well but require 2 batteries and unless you have a way to charge them when they go flat in the bush then a petrol chainsaw is the way to go as 5 litres of petrol cuts a fair bit of wood. As far as lockers go for your dads vehicle, provided they make them for that model, get a lokka for $500 and get it installed. You will pay 2000 for a arb air locker or E locker. If the compressor packs up or you loose power on the e locker then they won't work, also if you go backwards they disengage and it can take half a turn to get some lockers to engage again. If you are stuck you cannot move half a turn. Also you loose your steering when you use them but with a lokka they will ratchet when turning so you do not loose steering. A lokka does want to steer or pull straight but it is easy to turn while driving. They work especially good with free wheeling hubs. They also work while going down hill. lokka is made by 4wdsystems in SA. They are worth checking out. I have just bought my second lokka off them to put into a recently bought hilux. I won't touch anything else.
THAT IS THE REASON WHY THESE DEALERSHIPS ARE OFTEN CALLED "STEALERSHIPS"😡😡😡
They're not called Stealerships for nothing.
True that 👍 car dealers, banks, insurance companies all thieves..
Nissan have theeee highest dealership servicing costs, closely followed by Toyota.
$100 for coolant?! That's straight up robbery.
From the age of 16 to 35 I new very little about the mechanics of a car and went through the "mechanic speak" thing they do in that time. They charged me what they wanted, told me what they wanted because I did not know what a "Flugelbinder" was, let alone if mine was worn, if I had one or if I even needed one. I had so many similar experiences to the one Tyler had in this video. Then I did a 12 month mechanics course at TAFE and rebuilt my first engine after I finished the course. I'm now 60 and have saved a fortune in repairs and believe that generally speaking, because I'm not on a clock, that I do a more thorough job than a mechanic and usually get it done right the first time. I got a quote to replace the rotors and pads in my Nissan Patrol a few weeks ago, $1,200. I did the job myself for $350. I'm just saying that the experience Tyler had in this video, I used to have all the time...
I had new rotors, new pads, new shoes (rear) on my pathfinder r50 done last year for $500. Parts warranted and work guaranteed.
Find a good mechanic and stick with them.
I got the Makita 400mm (16") bar 36v chainsaw with 2 x 5ah batteries and dual rapid charger. I didn't have a chainsaw before and got it for the same reasons as you are thinking. It's quiet, light, easy, no fuel to carry and no smell. We have a R51 Pathfinder, so the smell of petrol was a consideration. It's very convenient for firewood and can still clear large trees when needed. I charge the batteries using a 600w inverter off the dual battery and it takes about 40 mins with the dual charger. You will want at least 5ah batteries which should last about 10-20 mins, in case you need to clear a large tree. The model I have has a tool-less chain/bar tensioner. I went with Makita because of availability, service, price and the range of other tools I can use the battery and charger with. I also use a little blower for the camp fire and it's handy it uses the same battery/charger. I'm also considering getting the electric mower for home soon too. There are more powerful and cheaper electric chainsaws but those brands just don't have the range (blowers, mowers, line trimmers, drills, etc) and overall quality/value as Makita.
Thats a recall problem in uk the dealer fix is a cable tie to pull the hose away from the crankshaft pully . Nissan should fix that free for you
Love watching your adventures but I’m loving watch you call bullshit in an honest fashion with no intention of shaming people...just being honest. Unreal dude.
I’m bummed I’m working Saturday and won’t be able to say g’day at Drifta. Keep the content coming!!
I work for Nissan, and yes we remove that bolt to gain access to that oil filter, what happens is some people forget to put that bolt back in or they are getting rushed and forgot it.
Don't worry I've done it to my service managers drive car by accident because he wanted a rushed service because he had to go.
You should be good!
My NocoGB70 lives behind the back seat. I’ve owned other brands but this is the best so far. 👍🇦🇺
I think the Rhino roof rack caused a leak in the radiator hose! I blew three turbo hoses and split an intercooler in my Defender before Land Rover did a recall and installed a mod to stop a belt wearing a hole in the hose. Significant improvement came from ditching the rubber hoses for aftermarket silicon hoses and quality clips. It’s good fun fixing all the problems!
Thanks for the video Tyler. Bloody hell Nissan aren't doing themselves any favours.
Great episode mate👍🏽 I have a 36v Makita chainsaw (2x18v) it’s great, haven’t used it for anything bigger than roughly 12inch diameter but it has done well at that size. Just need to carry your bar oil. Best Makita cordless I carry is the 18v blower, great to get your fire going and blowing out your swag canopy ect.
Mate, no matter what vehicle you have the manufacturer service centres are poor value for money. I had a manufacturer service where they failed to tighten the sump plug and found the oil leaking when I was 200km from home. I do the service myself now, unfortunately if anything happens I’ve only got myself to blame. If you’re into off roading, you’re always learning as you go. Your roof rack saga has blown up, you’ve definitely got respect from it and hopefully some new subscribers so those unfortunate incidents have an upside. Keep up the great work mate!👍
Low coolant level sensor is the go I’ve got one on the cruiser and they are a must the factory gauges read too slow and no audible alarm means it’s easy to miss a problem
Cheers
Thanks for another good vid Tyler.
Your brutal honesty is great.
Dealerships are notorious for that sort of behaviour.
The current two tyres that seem to have the best reputations amongst 4x4ers down here in Victoria are the Maxxis MT772 and the BF Goodrich KM2 or KM3. Reputations can be misleading but I've personally found them to be very impressive.
The Wildpeaks are an awesome tyre and you’ll be very impressed. Steve 🇦🇺
Loved it. Straight up. No bullshit. Called it as it is.
This is why guys run an aftermarket water temp gauge - factory ones are ordinary
Thanks mate!
Hi Tyler,
Keep up the awesome content!!!
Keep having the bloopers in your videos as well, it really brings things back to reality!!! RAW and REAL!!!!
Love it
Ive used my old mans Makita chainsaw many times to cut down trees in my back yard. Trees probably 7m high with stumps probs 500mm wide and it works great. The blade isn't really long like some of the big petrol ones we have but you great creative. They are so light and quiet and the quick stop on them saved my hand when it grabbed and shot up into my left hand (should of had both hands on chainsaw). Batteries lasted through each tree cut down and break down of limbs. Cant rate them enough
@tylerthompson love your channel.. actually your style. Genuine and entertaining. And great information!
Thanks!
@@TylerThompson90 bro if you're in Sydney and want a beer or in a pickle, yell out. I've got a new hilux and looking at upgrades, so channels like yours are heap useful.
I recently changed to a makita duc306 electric saw , arborist style climbing saw so super compact for camping trips.
(have all makita tools for work) It’s absolutely brilliant. Has good chain speed and boost function.
I use 5 or 6ah batteries and get good run time.
As with all saws keep the chain tickled up and it’s a bloody ripper.👍🏻
Very well known issue with the new Navaras, usually tied back with a zip tie - you'll find this on a few videos on TH-cam.
Good overview on what can happen to us 4wheelers,all model of vehicle have their design faults and the problem with that the makers will not give you the heads up on it before you buy. For me l like to have the skill set and knowledge on what can go wrong on my old rig.
I like the "engine guard" alarm - totally independent temp system and if you email them they give good advise where to mount the sensor on your particular car.
Invest in a low coolant alarm from Redarc. I learnt the hard way and cooked my GU. Your factory gauge won’t pick up temp if you lose your coolant as they require liquid to gauge the temperature
Answer to all of those questions, we'll except the hose being so close to start.
The 1st year apprentice didn't comprehend the other hose was holding coolant and he probably had to take the inner guards out and remove the rear shocks trying to find the radiator hose.
I run the Falken’s... love them...
Also have the Makita chainsaw... don’t like it, batteries don’t last long... Bought a Silky Saw Katana Boy (bloody awesome)... and will go to petrol if i buy another chainsaw (its a shame they don’t make diesel ones lol)...
Okay thanks mate!
A friend had a Pathfinder, every time he went off-roading had to get a wheel alignment. Sounds like the Navara carries on that tradition.....
Isuzu’s as well same problem. A friend has a new MUX & his wheels have been pointing at different angles to one another after off-roading on rough tracks. Gets expensive the day trips out. We go off-roading on a Saturday, check the front wheels on the way home after he tells me how the car is pulling heavily to one side. Books it in for an alignment on the Tuesday. Thanks for coming $$$
Yes, what you said about temp sensors not showing correct values when the coolant leaks and are surrounded by air is correct, some cars (had an alfa boxer motor) have a secondary sensor machined into the head and connected to a temp warning light on dash, these illuminate when head temp gets too high as a backup
Thanks for the heads-up on the radiator hoses, Ty. I’ll be sure to check mine.
Had the same experience with a battery that, after 3 years, instantaneously died on me. Darnit ! Fortunately I had my battery pack with me.
Makita chainsaws are awesome. Great when you have all the kit on the same batteries. Go for it. Love the vids!
At least your mechanic offered to do the right thing by you. I’ve not ever had to move the hose to do oil filter I’ve done heaps of services on these. First time hearing about this happening.
Hey mate in regards to the makita chainsaw I got the 250mm blade and it’s awesome it’s small takes bugger all room ..I take two 6 amp hour batteries with me and they last a very long time ..you would be amazed what you can cut with it ..
cheers hope it helps ..
This exact thing happened to my cousins Nav except he caught it early. It was actually his auto elec that caught it while adding a dual battery system, and it was nearly through. He got it fixed but not under warranty because Nissan claims that its a "soft part" which isn't covered under warranty
Another good Vid Tyler "Grizzley" Thompson. See you Saturday.
Good job dad !!
G’day Tyler. I have the Makita DUC400Z Chainsaw that takes 2x18v batteries. I take 4 x 6aH batteries so I have 2 spares. It’s great for cutting up limbs, small firewood and removing fallen trees across tracks. Anything thicker than the length of the bar is probably not ideal but if you let the saw take the time to cut through without pushing it, it will cope quite well. I can cut a level 6x4 trailer load of small diameter firewood with 2 x 6aH batteries. You can buy a cigarette lighter Makita charger but I would suggest changing the plug to Anderson because my cigarette plug melted. I hope this helps. Let me know when you’re down Canberra way!
Bloody hell! You owe your old man a box of beers and some fishing gear!
Some lockers maybe.👍
Fresh muddies.
Mate I’ve only just watched this video and found it very helpful, I’ve actually blown a motor because of radiator hoses busting, also cracked a head because of heater hose breaking so the info you gave on this video is something everyone should keep an eye on, my motor was a 1HZ from an 80 series land cruiser, I am always keeping an eye on hoses now on my cars and friends cars, I bet with this video you’ve made will have plenty of people checking there hoses now and you would have saved them a lot of money on saving there motors. Well done mate on this video , good luck with your future travels.. thanks Laurie from Darwin 👍😃
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed the video
Get an OBD2 blutooth scanner, can monitor any of the sensors on the car and can set alarm points. Also allows for resetting of codes to get home from the bush but would recommend only resetting for minor things!
I got a Makita 18V Brushless 250mm Chainsaw - DUC254Z to do a desert trip in 2019 -Broken Hill, Cameron corner, Birdsville, Simpson, Oodnadatta, Flinders Ranges- and it was great. Easy to use and you could quickly and easily cut fire wood the size of your arm just using one hand.(not recommended but demonstrates its easy handling). Very quiet. Lager size wood were ok too but went thru batteries quicker....but no great problem...you could get enough wood ready for a couple of days and then have it on charge ready for next time. BUT...on a 4wd trip along the Davies Plains Track (Vic alps) during 2020 (just before the fires) there was a lot of very big fallen trees which this chainsaw would had been next to useless in coping with if one was across the track. This made me think that I would get a much better electric saw (MAKITA 36V (18VX2) BRUSHLESS CHAINSAW DUC400PT2) or revert back to a petrol driven one.
Idk about aussie land, but here in USA we have labor time Standards. Which means if a job pays 2hrs we get paid 2hrs whether it takes 40min or 5hrs. Not how long something actually takes to do.
I just sold Nissan d22 ,bought it new ,had $185 capped services but I never took it there,I did always services myself,between 6 and 8000k ,coz I didn't want some apprentice work on my car,paid 25990 in 2014 ,sold for 20k with just over 100000 km ...was committed to buy 200 series until video didn't poped up with old ml from Victoria doing 4x4 in NSW ,got myself old ML 320 with 98000 km ,goes like a dream,great on fuel ,lots of power ..love it and have $40 k left over🙂
One time I went out grouse hunting with a buddy of mine and 2 dogs. Middle of absolutely no where. 2010 Silverado. Go out there for 4 or 5 hours. Get back to the truck and start the truck. Temp immediately pins the gauge. Light goes on. Shut the truck down and pop the hood. Not a drop of coolant left. Radiator split. We had to limp home on dog water and piss lol. Got home ok though 👍.
Tyler great video. A suggestion. Ask your mechanic if he can run you through some basic repairs, radiator hose replacements, oil and air filters and belt replacement , so you are better equipped to do a running repair on the track.
Hi Tyler.
I've previously worked on both the engineering side, as well as the mechanical side in the automotive industry. The unfortunate truth is that the people on the manufacturer's (Nissan's) side (the ones that make the "service guides"), have very little experience actually working on vehicles. It's 99% CAD based. The result is, Nissan and other manufacturers will charge based on a procedure with many unnecessary steps designed by an engineer, where an independent fitter will be able to save hundreds by doing it the logical way.
I think you'd benefit a lot from something like a vehicle repair course.
I use an UltraGauge for showing live digital coolant temperatures. This provides me with enough information to know if I'm losing coolant. The temperature will gradually increase if there's a problem, or dramatically decrease if the sensor is dry. You can also set alarms at either end of the spectrum.
Okay thanks for the information mate! Appreciate it 👌
@@TylerThompson90 I also run an ultra-gauge with alarms set on my BT50 that has already had a cracked egr cooler (leaks coolant into your engine) replaced under warranty (common problem for the Ford motor and can blow up your engine) wish I had one sooner. I have spoken to Kristian the Australian distributor and he is a great guy who was more than helpful. It would be worth being sponsored by him since the product is awesome anyway. I also use it for fault codes and can monitor my auto transmission, air intake and intercooler temps on my main screen.
A vote for Ultragauge from me too.
MN Triton, 'nuff said, haha.
Just plugs into the OBD port and reads the ecu sensor readout.
Set the warning alarm for whatever and all good.
Can also customise the display to read multiple other sensors too.
Also have one in my old Subie too and saved that from a similar situation to your Nav.
The alternator belt chewed through the top rad hose, which was old and over expanding. The stock temp gauge never moved but temp was over 100°c on the Ultragauge.
@Scott What model / year BT50 do you have mate? Should I be worried about my 2016 Ranger?
www.ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/ the MX 1.4 is the one to get as you can add code to monitor other parameters. I monitor my temp and trans temp, you are able to set alarms to your desired temp.
Have a Makita with a 400mm bar. Have found no difference going from a similar size petrol saw besides much quieter, & easier to start.
thanks champ for the information! great video
Hey Tyler, for temps I use a Bluetooth OBDII scan tool through my phone that measures inputs and outputs of the coolant temps and other stuff such as transmission temp, oil/level & temps, main battery and have set my own alarms within the software so they go off before you get an engine light etc. You can also clear codes if your stuck bush and need to get out of limp mode. I had tried a ones from overseas, but ended up speaking with OBDII Australia and got their recommendation and it works for me. For your info the DASH gauges and temps generally only change when there is an extreme temp variation over a sustained period. My OBD II Bluetooth dongle and software for the phone ended up costing about $50. BTW yes generally Nissan dealers are crap (Wodonga Nissan was terrible) when there is a warranty issue, although the Nissan dealer at Lake Macquarie were awesome for us at a desperate time.
Losing water is a very effective way of blowing a motor. When a water level sensor is not surrounded by water won’t show a raise in temperature, often it can even show a drop in temp. I drive a discovery 1 diesel and this is the most common way of blowing the motors. I have installed a water level sensor just for this reason. Any drop in water an alarm goes off along with a flashing light.
Another great video. Keep doing what you do!
Much appreciated!
Once again, all the Thompsons are champions!
Totally agree with good quality tyres, there’s not a big difference between them.
What I did for my last set, actually went down from mud to an aggressive AT - cooper STmax - and from a practical view they seem to to tick more boxes than mud terrain. My truck is not a hardcore play toughest tracks only rig. But I am really impressed how this newish models AT perform compared to muddies. Oh, yeah... I’ve done 80tkm so far and I am on about 50%. At this kind of ks previous muddies were usually replaced.
This is why I do everything on my nav.. I actually have a steel zip tie keeping that hose away from the pulley as it does expand during normal operation.
I notice you have been through some deep River crossing, water puts a lot of pressure on radiator and can push it back into pulley, maybe not your issue this time but worth keeping in mind for future river crossings
Has happened to me more than once going through deep water everything moves radiator and engine mounts
I reckon I've worked out why you're having so many issues with the new nav.
Old nav - No Beard
New Nav - Beard
Beards gotta go mate 😂
Must have found the problem haha
Goatee mate half way between the two.
Nothing to do with the beard, don’t listen to them. Keep the beard 🧔.
Shave the beard but go full solo man mo. Dare to be different.
Get rid of the beard mate. I’ve been struggling to watch your channel since it appeared
Good outcome for a close call Tyler - maybe some sort of shield/bracket will help prevent this rubbing next time? Glad that you have a good trustworthy mechanic - they’re better than a good dentist - when I lived in Canberra I used the dealership for my Subarus until I discovered they were not doing half of what they said was done - “oh sorry but we have a new apprentice” not good enough so I found a good mech like yours at half the cost - I now use a non-dealership mechanic for my 2010 Hilux John in SA
Cheers for your honesty Tyler, you might what to invest in a Toyota
Good to see that the jumper pack works , I bought the same one in case of a flat when I’m by myself, electric chainsaw is definitely the go, im sick of the fuel smell in the car 🤦♂️. Hopefully no more problems for you for a while now 👍
Being the previous owner of a melted Isuzu engine, may I suggest you install a low coolant alarm to your vehicle. Most CRTD are upwards of 12K to replace compared to $300-400 for a simple alarm. it's got me buggered why everyone spends thousands on sometimes useless crap and not on the essentials. Just my thoughts. Oh and Kudos Tyler the great JC mentioned you in his Vlog today on roof racks, well done lad.
This was a recall in the UK. The rad pipe being fouled and a child lock failing. Mine was checked out by Nissan UK.
This exact thing happened to me last week. what a shithouse design, even where the bracket bolts onto has enough movement that its a design flaw. I didn't bother trying for warranty as I had gone over the 100K k,s. I got a top hose from a supercharged 3.8L VT commodore and its almost exactly the same for $6 and used some big cable ties to secure it.
Yep others have already commented but I agree the scanguage 2 does engine coolant temp, also boost and trans temp from memory and heaps more for $270 it's a good investment.
When it rains, I pours my friend. Hope you get it all sorted
I use a Engine Watchdog, plugs into the side of the block, sets off an alarm if it gets too hot.....
Definitely recommend.
Great vid mate, don’t mind the long ones because of the info, and the way your honest and fair with the automative specialists local mechanics vs Nissan etc (too right they should have checked the pipe, should be part of the service, especially if it’s more expensive and your paying for the whole kit).
Hope all goes well for the drifter show, wouldn’t mind coming up from Sydney to say hi and check out Luke’s gear, but will be doing lift and tyres that week
The only way to fail-safe the cooling system from a loss of fluid perspective is to install a cylinder head temperature sensor. They do not live in liquid coolant and measure the temperature of the surrounding metal instead.
The AU Falcon was the first vehicle to have this feature which allowed accurate temperature readings without a single drop of coolant in the system. They also had a very clever yet simple strategy which shut down cylinders from firing to promote air cooling. This allowed the vehicle to continue driving with nothing in the cooling system, literally can remove the bottom hose and drive to Sydney and back.
Thanks Tyler for sharing this information . I have N-Trek Warrior and definitely will take note and check everything every after service .
If only every mechanic has a good work ethic/attitude this problem can be avoided.
Glad it was helpful!
The Makita 14" chainsaw is great , though chews threw the batteries. For a guage I use Ultra gauge, it's an OBD2 reader that you can program alarms like overheating coolant in, works great.
I bought an engine saver alarm or this reason. It sounds an alarm if your coolant drops. Sounds like it would be a good idea if the D23 has this as a common issue
the makita chainsaw goes alright, very compact unit and good for cutting up small logs to get some firewood for the night. will overheat if you try to tackle anything too big or get more than a few decent cuts out of it. wouldnt go clearing tracks with it or anything
only purchased it because i had a diesel 4x4 and didnt want to carry petrol, but now i have a petrol 4x4 im considering taking a decent chainsaw
Glad to hear the cars all good now man, wish I could drop into drifta only living in Newcastle but just my luck to be stuck at work 9-2 as well keep up the awesome work legend ✌
It’s pretty funny what you’re saying from a Nissan dealer. I had a d40 with an ABS light on, took it to the dealer and they put it on their diagnostic tool, charged me $180 for it and said I needed a whole new ECU... $4k!!! Did a bit of research myself and took it to my local mechanic. Wheel speed sensor was all it was, which from my research was exactly what I thought. New front hub and fixed which was less for two brand new hubs with sensors included and fitted from my mechanic than what it was from the Nissan dealer. Bottom line is, do the research and don’t trust a dealership when fixing/servicing a car
I have a Makita electric chainsaw. It has been excellent. I use the batteries for my drill etc, charges easily off the car. Cuts well, great idea.
Ive had that happend, on a 2017 nav. Noticed in time, bushmechaniced on a boat from italy to albania. Held all the way home to sweden again. Used vulktejp. (English word for it, dno) but i think was fixed by nissan just the year after. But i guess not. Good luck tyler.
Hello Tyler new sub here from north east Scotland. Have you looked at TORQUE, it's a bluetooth reader that fits the obd port and gives you extra dials. I have mine with coolant temp, oil temp, sat nav maps, time, a few other bits. might give you a bit of help also reads and clears fault codes. I'm running a pajero 3.5 v6 and a 3.2did.
I have a mate with the makita saw. It’s great bit of kit. I personally love my 2-banger MS180. Cheers
Dealerships charge stupid prices, i don't trust them, there probably is some good dealership mechanics around but your local mechanic is more likely to look after you. Glad you have a good mechanic!
Put a " Enginge Guard " on the block. Made in Queensland about a hundred bucks. Visual and audio warning.
Yep! Got the same thing on my 80 series. Works perfect. changed my rad and viscous fan and my temps dropped 10 degrees. Good to know when to back off if under alot of load. Cheap insurance!
Just a scan gauge will work well to read coolent and EGT temps.
Battery chainsaws have come a long way and would recommend one
You're too nice Tyler. I'd be here swearing at them..
Hey Tyler contact me. I’ve seen this thousands of times this is a service issue. What happens the mechanic gets lazy cause the oil filter is in a prick of a spot and the lower rad hose is mounted and it gets removed and they don’t put the bolts back or they deform the hose. I’ve done hundreds of services on them and that’s the cause. Take it back and get them to fix it
Yeah that's what I said in the video was the most likely thing that happened but hard to say that's 100% what happened. Hence why I rang my mechanic and he took responsibility and said he would pay the bill from Nissan plus do any other repairs needed for free
@@TylerThompson90 I was a bit quick on the comment without finishing watching the video. If you need to know all the d23 issues I worked at head office so no all the issues they have

I use a ScanGuage. Been great, heaps of detail. Don't panick when you see your coolant temp move +-/- 25 degrees :)
Get yourself a Victa 82V chain saw. 18" blade with a very good chain pitch. Not overly expensive, beats any of the 18/20V stuff.
Thx 4 sharing your experiences
The new Drifta store at Heatherbrae, the street doesnt appear on many GPS or Google maps. Its easy to get too though, turn off the highway at Hungry Jacks and KFC... then first left at the little Roundabout, go past the Jayco and other caravan places and boom, ya will see Whealan Close on your right. Easy. Thats my good deed for the day.
Dude, I used to work for Golden dealership and I would NEVER bring my car to dealership. They charge customers for God knows how many hours but mechanics doesn't have that time on their timetable to go over everything that they have on their list. Always go to small local mechanic for 20000000000% better service.
A company I used to rep for many years ago had a local dealership service their Commodore fleet. For engine oil, oil filter & air filter services they used to bill my company $500. They charged this to all of our Holden fleet for simple services. I always serviced my own cars extensively myself and my better judgement told me this was pure BS. Just ripping off businesses with servicing costs because staff in accounts payable don’t know any different. Pretty rude.
There's a reason trucks have bazziliin gauges.
Yes you cannot detect coolant temps if there is no coolant in the system. Coolant temps work of resistance hence if no coolant, no circuit.
Tm2 product from Queensland works of block temp. If you run out of coolant it would tell you rise inblock temp.
Used in combination with a low coolant alarm would prevent this happening.
Man I feel for you . I spoke to Ballarat Nissan about this and they said they've never heard of this problem. I was adement this proplem existed but they denied its existence
Super DAD to the rescue !
Tyler pop the lid of your radiator, leave it out until the car is hot AF double check if is any bubble are coming out of the bad boy... With over heating or runing coolant low you could have crack a top engine happened to me...
Makita battery operated chainsaw lasted me years, ( I was a landscaper). Only thing I am spewing about is they used a single 36v battery and now they use 2 18v batteries. My 36v batteries have died and cost $299 to replace! But I did use them on a heap of different Makita gear.
