The GU Patrol Gets a new look with the Jimmy bar Bullbar! This thing looks so good now and is so much more practical with a winch and light setup!
I Also dive into the transmission issue ive been having for a while now and it does not go to plan...

After seeing a bit of the bull bar I can confirm this is one of the cleanest gu builds
Thanks bro!! So stoked with it hey
@@RoamLyfe you make me laugh..auto,,that cant stand a trailer,,then you fit a 250hp motor,,??,,there are things called 5 speed transmissions,,you know,,with a clutch..built specifically for 4x4ing..again,,why did you buy a zd,& auto, to begin with..only excuse i hear is, missus cant drive a stik..you want a 4x4 box,,look up nv4500..ultra low first, 5sp..will stand 500 hp..
It looks so good with the bull bar possibly the cleanest gu
Wow thanks bro!!
The rectangular Stedi’s would suit it better 👌
Doesn’t like you’ll have much up and down adjustment with those lights
Very nice rig mate, gives me a little more inspiration for the bigger jobs on the GU that I haven't had the cajones to tackle.
Merry Christmas!
Never seen anyone express awe over a gregorys before.
bull bar looks sick, surely a cheeky manual swap
Thanks bro!! Staying auto for this one!! Manual for the next tho! 🔥🔥
I think some of the clutch plates inside the box are also metal.
So hopefully the clutches ain't damaged.
Bar looks sick. Can’t wait to see a 4jj1 in it
So keen to get it in!!
Gonna be a great idea to swap out one bad 3 litre for another one behind the same auto right...
Looking good! Love what you are doing with the Patrol.
Thanks mike!!
Bar looks great. Great work mate. Love watching your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thanks Michael! Same to you mate!
I have to correct you there man, the Raslarr new style azza bar can just fit a runva 13xp winch for the patrol but only just with, with some spacers that Raslarr also supply
Okay awsome to know! I rate the new azza bar too! Looks great!
Bar looks mint , Rod from Wholesale just comes across as a great fella , no doubt he’ll look after ya 👍
He’s a bloody legend hey! Really nice guy and the only one that actually helped
Love the two tone, bonza! 👌
Thanks mate!!
love the bar need to get a jmax snokel
On their way 🔥🔥
The re4 is a good trans, the boys at Wyong autos make them bulletproof.
Yeah I’m excited to get this one back, I can start looking after it properly then!
You gotta get your brother some matching safety crocs! He only has workshop pluggers!
Wholesale told me they use the standard stall speed in there convertors which is absolutely way to loose for even a basic remap with the Zd30.
General consensus is don't re-use a cooler when a trans has failed, you can never clean it well enough.
Thanks legend! I start looking into a new cooler!! Do you have any recommendations for brand?
Pwr trans coolers are the best you can get
The biggest you can get that has an actual btu rating
Reckon 2 or 3 square spotties would look tuff on that bar 👌
Yeah I agree!! I might change up one day!
It's such a shame that Nissan never put their great 5-speed tiptronic auto with the diesel engines. Hope it works out and holds together for the 4j
I know 😫😫 we are stuck with a dinosaur box haha
It’s a weaker box and has way more limitations to build
Best work shoes I’ve ever seen. Crocs thongs 😂😂
Should black out all chrome parts. Will look mint
There’s a reason people who know what they’re on about don’t like automatics😂 hope you get it all good. Also might want to throw a MASSIVE cooler on the auto aswell.
Absolutely nothing wrong with auto’s. RE4’s and 5’s are just dog shit autos.
@@elghee02 re4s are good re5s are shit mate. The coolers are too small for towing tho
I cut my standard front bar in half and put it out in the hard rubbish because it was worth nothing........ went out with the standard springs and shocks, and the standard exhaust. All were worth zip 10 years ago.
How things change hey!! They are “rare” now hahaha
She is looking so clean man merry Christmas
Thanks Rory!! Merry Christmas mate!!
The front bar looks killa spot lights are so much better light then light bars
He calls him Rodney but everyone knows him as Rocket Rod 🤣🤣
Haha yeah that’s him! He’s such a good bloke too!
I was right the 4J🤙!
Why would you swap a 4Cyl 3L for another? The CRD is a much better engine than a 4J.
Much more aftermarket support for the 4j ! The crd has broken three times on me already and honestly I see them for sale with blown motors all the time even the crd, g turbos injectors etc for sale on a motor that’s popped, I was originally gonna build it but the more I seen pop up with hurt motors started to scare me! Diesel conversions Australia have done a shut load of blown crd swaps too he said he’s flat out swapping them out!
@@RoamLyfe I suppose I was more getting to why wouldn’t you TB48 swap and turbo it? Or L98 etc, my opinion is it’s a waste of money trying to get power out of diesels. Tidy car either way mate. I’ve been waiting 6 months for my Jimmy bar. He’s fucked me around big time but it’s finally on the way luckily

@@elghee02 i priced a few motors up and this just seemed like the happy medium for what I want to do!! And definitely a wait on the jimmy bar!!
How did you take the orange ring of your spotties
PWR Transmission Coolers can be had from Repco (Large) for less than $100 at Trade price mate. Get onto it, don't reuse an old Transmission Cooler (imo).
Thanks bro!! Definitely will get one!!
I reckon a pair of chrome clear views would look sick with the build
100%
Bro nearly at 50k!!!!
So stoked bro!! 🔥🔥🔥 thanks heaps!
Easier to remove the transfer case off the back and add it back later - easy to remove everything then
Can totally relate to hi EGT temps, mine was no different, driven it for years like it. Just had that resolved by getting a tune at ECPT, EGT's are now much lower, far more torque, lovely thing to drive now.
Primary concern for me was RE4 auto, would it handle the extra torque & KWs I now have, been reassured it would, now I question it? Mine has been serviced though regularly at 40K intervals, Nissan recommend service every 80K.
My query re your 4JJ1 swap is, (since your RE4 is stuffed), why not go with a 6 speed Asin auto behind the 4JJ1. It is the std box for 4JJ1, gives you two extra cogs, something I yearn for.
Queried Rocket Rod about fitting the RE5 to mine years ago just to get 1 extra cog, but alas they weren't able to do this as ECU configuration couldn't be done, bugga.
I probably should look into a billet torque converter in near future with the grunt I now have.
Anyways, best of luck with it, hope your Chrissy is awesome.
RE4s can be built to handle massive power. Re5s are weaker and it is extremely hard to get newer trans controllers to work perfectly with such little tolerances for error for both hi range and low range. For a example go look at the TH-camr Adam LZ trying to get the 10speed zf trans to work with a barra in his mustang. And that’s a professional driver and team and with more contacts then any of us.
@@Chasing_Back_Roads👍 for reassurance regarding RE4 trannie.
I was considering to keep all as is and just closely monitor things and I think I'll retain this thinking. Any poor oil drain/filter exchange will be my lead to update my torque converter valve body. Yes, I'm a maintenance freak, need to be to retain a reliable trust worthy truck.
Hope to keep it trucking a long long time into the future.
@@ianweal3081 I’ve just built mine to the max, will full manualised 4 position valve body and billet low stall converter behind a ZD. Built right they can handle 1000hp barra down the 1/4. The company that built mine said they have one behind a barra that runs 7.8s. But in saying that. If maintenance is let go or trans oil temps go to high which is very easy to do with the stock cooler the oil is as good as water once the oils burnt all the lubricants. I run a 9x13.5 cooler with a constant fan to keep on top of my temps.
@@Chasing_Back_Roads thanks again, do you wish to share who did the build?
I always had concerns with oil cooling going through radiator base only, I used to always add an air cooler as well, so was pleased to see Nissan had already supplied one as standard on ZD30 Patrols.
I'll have a look at enlarging as you have done, good feedback, again thanks.
@@ianweal3081 thought I replied to this but it’s disappeared sorry. GZM Automotive in thomastown vic mate built mine. No we disconnected it because if it’s hot weather or working hard they are heating each other up. Think of it this way coolant is already around the 85c mark so it’s going to struggle to cool the trans oil much more then that in summer. Yes they do but if you live in a hotter part of australia or do heaps of hard 4wding or tow more then just a unbraked trailer or thru hills then the stock one isn’t enough. And all the kits you can buy are no point unless you have a constant fan - even if you doubled a kit up with the stock cooler if the vehicle is working hard the temperatures will run away and as soon as the lubricant pack in the oil is melted it’s as good as having water in the trans. The clutch packs will self destruct in seconds if they get too hot. I have deleted the stock power steering cooler and am using the stock auto cooler for the power steering and the transmission cooler stand-alone with a constant fan.
Hi Mate. Any chance I could buy your stock wheels and tyres?
It got to those temps with, or without a tranny cooler?
With a cooler!
Reduction gears in transfer case?
I’m hell tempted but cash is running out quickly 😅😅
To be honest@@RoamLyfe I regret not thinking about it myself, until after rebuilding the gearbox & transfer case in my 80 Series. Personally I think it is a game changer that should not be overlooked, & is well worth the extra investment.
Also, would the Runva fairlead fit better upside down?
Isnt the zd30 torque converter a different bolt pattern to what the 4j will be taking, or has DCA updated the flex plate and i missed or forgot it?
Yep I believ updated flex plate!!
American got many different types of 4WD from 2-door like jeep wrangler JL, Bronco 2 door first edition to full-sized trucks like Ram Trx, Ford raptor etc.. However they ain't as skilled as Aussies 4 wheeling in a Manual trans.
Looking good mate. 👍🏽
How did the mrs take the bad news
😆😆😆 not good
@@RoamLyfe yeah I bet 😂😆
OWow
Bonnet entry snorkel would be mean
Ooft 💦💦
That's no good mate, seems you'll get it sorted no worries anyway. I always heard the patrol driveline is fairly solid if not abused and it seems you wern't doing anything crazy and the trailer isn't that heavy. Do you know what caused it? Now i'm worried my re4 auto is gonna give out haha.
They are definitely strong but no one services their autos, drop the pan and clean the filter every 20k and you’ll have no dramas! This was previously owned by someone who towed a van around aus, I aussimed never serviced the auto.. hard life
Were are you based bud , i am in WA
Have you upgraded your trans cooler??
Not yet but definitely will be!!
Just chuck 6bt brother don’t do 4jj
Are u going to get a stainless through the hood
Unfortunately as the illegal I am not, I’d hate to have to rip that out and find a new bonnet and then buy another snork! Haha
Ok fare nuff
Pity the Re5Ro5a auto is prone to issues eg solonoids failing and worse still the radiator cooler can fail allowing coolant into the box. Wholesale will no doubt resolve the box issues but I would look to fitting a new rad too. The Auto can get into trouble by a flat or failing battery n low voltage causing the trans control unit to go into limp mode..taking off in eg 2nd or 3rd until the fault is cleared and causing lots of heat..possibly destroying the clutch packs. ..all due to a failing battery! Stupid design by Nissan. Most just swap to a manual due to rebuild costs. Good luck!
...I'm resuming it's a Re5 box...
It’s a re4 auto
They still have many issues but it should handle a lot after this rebuild!
That bar is Shmick, looks grouse..
First
Yeahhh seven 🔥🔥
Not a fan of the bullbar. Each to their own.
@Roam Lyfe the patrol looks fucking mint mate. Love the bar and the spotties. Can’t wait to see the finished product
Thanks Raymond!!!
@@RoamLyfe love your builds mate
wow! this is getting fancy ! go the Patrol ! 🛻🤙📹😎

yeah nice wow lucky you !!
