Just seen your vid, nice work. Always something to do. You in Townsville? Good tracks there? Is your Patrol lifted, looks standard height. Howd you find it at Birdsville on the sand dunes when you went there
Cheers mate, appreciated. I am in TSV. Not really much in the way of 4WD tracks here, there is a few but nothing really note worthy. Standard height, waiting for the front bar to arrive before I do a lift. Was awesome on the Finke trip, never had anything to worry about, just knew the car would do what I wanted of it, straight up sand dunes where others struggled. Very good car in the right hands.
Just watched your video, nice job of explaining everything. So how do u adjust the handbrake ? do it via the cable nut above the brake pedal or is there somewhere on the back brake assembly? Thanks
Thanks mate, appreciate it! The following is from the Y62 Workshop Manual: Parking Brake All Y62 variants have the same type of “Drum in Disc” Parking Brake system. Construction is basically the same as R51 & Y61 TB48 variants. For more detail regarding repairs or adjustment please refer to the ESM as follows; F BRAKES > PB PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM Adjustment Precautions Handbrake adjustment (as is the case with ALL Nissan Models) is not a simple case of simply tightening the adjuster nut at the Handbrake Lever. In principle you must loosen the adjuster nut at the Handbrake Lever 1st, then adjust the brake shoe to Drum clearance 2nd & finally re-tighten the cable adjustment at the Handbrake Lever last until the right setting is achieved as per the directions in the Service Manual. Ensure there is a small but notable amount of free-play evident in the Park Brake Lever. PLEASE NOTE: If the Park Brake is over adjusted or incorrectly adjusted, SEVERE DRIVELINE VIBRATION may result. Ensure the correct procedure is carried out when adjusting the Park Brake. NOTE: If the Handbrake requires adjustment, follow the procedure as advised above. DO NOT ADJUST THE HANDBRAKE BY TIGHTENING THE CABLE AT THE LEVER UNTIL IT APPEARS TO “FEEL BETTER!” Severe Driveline Vibration will otherwise result!
