ONE-OF-A-KIND GU BUILD - What's Jesse Done Now? Mild to WILD Driveline & Chassis Transformation

Jesse’s back in the shed for PART 2 of the big GU DIY builds series!
Watch Part 1 here: ( • INSANE DIY ENGINE SWAP... )
Today marks a special moment for Jesse, as he’s getting very close to putting the GU on four wheels!
This time we’re finishing up the chassis, putting the diffs back together, assembling the lockers, putting the brakes on, and adding the final touches to the M57 BMW motor and gearbox.
If Jesse plays his cards right, the cab will FINALLY go back down onto the chassis for one last time, but there’s a lot of work to go!
Many hours are going into this, but it’ll be so worth it for that first drive out of the shed! So, sit back, grab something with a kick in it because this is a good one!
If you have ideas or questions about the build, chuck them in the comments & Jesse will go through them!

Have never ever liked a video in you tube before. He explains things like a teacher to kids in kindy. How simple ❤. Love it

[@alvaros.5219]

In Europe GU M57 swaps are pretty common, since they don't get any 4.2 version, just the shitty ZD30 and RD28, and their builds are actually nuts, definitely recommend checking some of them out on YT.

[@abuturky4]

Well, This kind of jobs deserve a lot of respect when it is done in professional workshops. But when it is done in a shed by 1 person that needs another level of respect Well done 👍

[@olivicu]

You will make the M57 engine famous on patrol in Australia. I don't know how often M57s are used in Australia, but I can tell you that in Europe, they are crazy about them, especially in Romania, Poland. greetings from Romania! jesse good driver. I can't wait to see what he can do with that engine :D

[@RepLicanT00100]

…and on the eighth day, God said “Let there be a BMW/Patrol conversion.” and blesses up with Jessie.. ha! 👌🏼 #godlikeperformance #maximumeffort

[@geordiegibson1210]

Hey Jesse, quick tip with the M57. If it's got the original stainless manifold, chances are it's cracked in several places. For a couple of hundred $$$ you can buy a cast iron kit from China that bolts straight on, kit comes with everything you need and it works well. I had to do it to my E53 X5 with the M57D30, makes a big difference. Also, check the PCV valve, there's two types. The cyclonic type is the later type, it works much better. I have a spare one here that I'd happily send to you if you want to replace yours. And HDI Tuning in the UK can chase 300hp and over 600nm of torque out of these with a stock motor, and a 6HP behind them, they are quite bulletproof if they've been looked after. Give me a yell if you ever need any tips, tricks or advice on the engine or trans.

[@qubadmalik1]

I have been meaning to ask but wasnt sure if this build is going to be 4x4 or 4x2? if you can tell us that would be great.

3 things I’ve taken from this video 1-This will be one of Australia’s best and most used Gu’s. 2-Jesse is an encyclopaedia about patrols and is doing this all off the back of his hand 3-I’m never getting in a car with Jesse because I’ve seen him use the ugga dugga as a torque spec too many times in this video

Shauno and Graham!!!!!! It's a testament to the show from when it was Ruthy! Having a team that know what they are doing and can do basically any job or problem solving! To get where your going but have fun wheeling crazy tracks! On top of it's hilarious watching you shauno and Jock messing with each other! Congrats man you've earned this! Im looking forward to seeing this Nissan walking some insane obstacles! Jeremiah Goodman Albany New York USA 🇺🇸 ps some more Toyoto vs Nissan battles please!
