Dankie Tinus/Oom Mac, waardeer die terugvoering.

Is daar dalk nog iemand wat 'n goeie stel 4.8 Coils beskikbaar het?

Soos ek dit sien soek ek en jy elk n paar coils.
En daar is twee mane wat het. Nou moet ons net besluit wie bel wie!
Ek het al vir On Patrol ge PM en wag dat hy my kontak.
Ek is seker ons sal altwee geholpe raak.
Chris.

Chris,

Dis reg so, jou versoek was eerste, ons hanteer dit so. Ek het nie 'n krisis, my Patrol lê net so bietjie oor na regs en ek wil dit net graag regstel. Sal sien as die manne antwoord, ek wag ook vir On-Patrol.

Groetnis. Dolf

Got the set of coils from Dawid and will be doing the mod tomorrow. I will post some pictures and feedback.
Also got TJM gold shocks to replace the very tired Monroes.

At the same time I am replacing the front disc brake rotors with "Powerbrake upgrade kitt" that was surprisingly easy to get.
They had stock and the kitt cost R3300.00. It looks good and I will also post feedback.
With the brake rotor replacement , I am also replacing the front wheel bearings and seals. The genuine Nissan parts cost me R2950.00 plus vat.

Dolf... I will let you know when I find a set for you.

Did the mod on Saturday. It took four hours including the front bearing and disc replacement.
The car is 30mm higher on the right and 15mm higher on the left. Slightly stiffer ride but much improved handling.
Awesome improvement offroad mostly due to the TJM shocks. If at all possible , the articulation is better. Barely lifted a wheel at the worst cross axles at De Wild. See the pics from De wild today.
Definitely worth the effort.
