Doing a install at the moment...really would be handy to get a picture of the engine mounts without the engine, just to confirm that it in the right position. Love your work
G'day Checkout the downloads section at www.dieselconversionsaus.com.au If you are using weld on chassis mounts bolt up to gearbox first, check firewall clearance make sure of about 15mm, then the mounts will sit well. You can also use the product description to assist
Yeah man, this is awesome! I was wondering what engine would be better and will covert easily, (always wanted the V9X to go in one though). Watch all the 4j rado’s go up in price too haha
Great job guys awesome engine just want to ask can the 5 speed auto from the 4.8 fit behind the engine .? Can’t wait to see it driving around and towing
This sounds really cool and I'm up for the swap but the vid shows zd30 swap to 4jj1 and offers motor mounts but I'd like to swap a tb42 for a 4jj1 and I have no idea about engine mounts can you help?
Thanks mate .I will definitely be interested in this in the future. Going to check out engine prices here in WA . Will give you a call regarding cost and freight to WA when I find a engine.
i want to ask one question: what is better, 4jj1 or 4m41? i heard that 4m41 is also very tough engine that can produce a lot of power. just interesting to know you opinion
@@Gazzr92 Nope -TCM unit inside tranny and U need GM CANbus adapter to talk to it. But these dmax engines was in colorado- maybe they already have 6l90 as OEM setup. Don' know much about holden models. If no -it will be tricky to pair them
Been waiting for this for ages. The zd30 GU platform definitely seems the most user friendly. Are you going to run the exhaust over the engine and down the passenger side? Have you done a GQ yet? I used the Isuzu gbox in my swap and I doubt the engine would fit under the bonnet using your kit unless you put a body lift in.
Did you mean to say they fit a GQ without a body lift? And still get the exhaust down the drivers side? And that elbow on the throttle body fits under the bonnet on a GQ?
@@adventurecorp I just checked on mine and can't see a 3" exhaust fitting past the front drive shaft at full compression. Unless you space out the bump stops. I notched the trans tunnel and went up next to the top of the gbox. But that probably wouldn't be possible either using the patrol box. Can you get some decent footage of where the exhaust is routed as I'm sure it would be very helpful to anyone fitting your kit.
Gday, The 4.5L will always make the power and torque easier, the 4.5L is a brand new engine also. The 4jj1 is a much cheaper conversion and uses a used engine. The defining factor for what you choose is really budget/personal prefrence. Both are awesome engines
Hi mate, just came across your video about 4jj1 conversion into a gu patrol, brilliant video by the way. As most people, I'm really considering it too. I've a 2012 dx8 I think they call it? Zd30 Y61 crd, it's an auto though. How much will it cost me for to get a 4jj1 supplied and fitted? Would appreciate if you could reply back. Tia
Love your work guys! is the security immobiliser removal a simple process? I've started collecting things and preparing my 93 GQ for the swap. Was just going to plop the stock standard 4j in at the start just to get it all going and would ideally not have to try and swap key barrels or anything like that.
The key barrel actually fits up to the GQ column quite well. Also the indicator stalks and the plastic surround. That way you have an immobiliser and central locking
@@thisandthat8687 All depends what route you want to go. I got a complete wreck and swapped in the entire wiring from the dmax. Both fuse boxes, ign barrel, gauge cluster, indicator stalk assembly, even the hvac controls and clock etc. Their plug in loom looks the goods but you will need a Holden ecu and wiring loom. And not sure how that would work with the gq dash.
@@bennyjahmin3953 I’ve managed to pick up an entire Colorado wreck just because really. I’m not a huge fan of the Colorado cluster, honestly I was more looking at doing an OBD2 reading Haltech dash personally. I haven’t cross referenced wiring diagrams but I doubt it’d be possible to run the GQ dash off the 4j loom personally. I think the pre-terminated loom is a good idea for just simply wanting to get the motor in there and for someone like myself that doesn’t quite plan to go to the extent you have. Plus because I’ve got the wreck I’ll have the Colorado ecu ect.
Hi, Glad I saw this video, I'm from South africa - Im looking to get a patrol and doing an engine swop. never thought of doing a isuzu convertion. do you guys make the gearbox adapter plate for the auto? or does it fit the same adapter plate?
As this is a bang for buck conversion many just use good used engjnes. But theres no reason why you couldnt reco an engine before use. Yes, 250hp at the wheels
@@adventurecorp I dare say that you would probably need the Colorado/Dmax scoop (or something similar) to go with it also wouldn’t you?? Also wondering give or take what a 4j conversion might cost in total if you were to have everything professionally fitted??
Hey mate, Just the delphi ecu we use. You use the factory patrol cluster and patrol sensors and patrol wiring for them, our 4j body loom has the tacho output, a tacho converter needs to be wired in for rpm to work
Nice work. Makes sense why you didn't mention the dmax for a source of engines. Might want to make that a little clearer to potential customers. So what part of the "holden" body loom that also plugs into the ecu needs to be plugged in or can that connector be left off? Which patrol sensors need to be added to the 4j and are they a straight swap in and plug into the 4j loom?
@@bennyjahmin3953 the only sensors you need are the ones for the dash, oil pressure, coolant temp, cut them wires from the factory patrol loom and re run them on the 4jj1 and "t" them into the factory 4j sensors. You dont use any part of the factory 4j body loom, its replaced with our conversion body loom
@@adventurecorp Are you going to do a loom for the Isuzu ecu? If not what are the hurdles you can't get around. And if so will you also do one for the Isuzu ecu post 2012? As I imagine most people sourcing second hand motors will be getting them from the later model dmax's. If you get a post 2012 4jj1 what needs to be done for your wiring kit to work?
@@adventurecorp do the zd30 engine chassis mounts get welded in the same position or in a different position, if so could you advise the relocation position. Will that change the gearbox and positioning at all, or once the new engine mounts are welded in the installation will be the same as seen in the video. Will the td42 gearbox work or wound I need to source a zd30 Gearbox. Thanks
@@adventurecorp that’s exactly what everyone one of the people the people put me onto said. Got the last one in Australia according to Sutton’s. $774.00. All good now, the skin on the forearms has nearly healed.🤘
Hey mate, We do the full kits (engine mounts, adapter plate and loom) for $2500. www.dieselconversionsaus.com.au/product/4jj1-conversion-nissan-patrol/153?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false
@@jarrodjames1820 Speak to G&L about rebuild prices. Last time I spoke to them it was around 7k for a rebuild to factory specifications and 25k for 400hp build.
