Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi Guys,

Thanks to Tinus I managed to secure some 285/75/16 MTRs. They are flipping awesome. The speedo now reads way more accurate and the car sits way higher. Here's some pics:

c'mon okes!

Price is pretty negotiable? i'm sure someone knows someone that's looking for a lekker 4.2

Hey - Thanks Ricster.

That might not be a bad plan, my "skoon famielie" live out that way, I can go drop the wife and kid, and pull in for a quick test (heh... how quick is it to change 4 wheels hahaha)

But yeah, thanks man. I'll PM you when next I'm going that way :)

Thanks for the response man.

I can't really afford to spend 8-10k on new tires at this time of year :P

So will be shopping around (read: will probably do it in Dec around bonus time)

Turns out the bolt that the shock mounts onto is stripped... they tried to get a nut back on with limited success. So I have two options: a) rethread the bolt so a smaller size nut can fit o...

Hi guys! My 99 GL seems to have a problem with it's back left shock mounting - on closer inspection it seems the shock has actually popped off the bolt where it was held. No damage though. When I fitted my ironman suspension the guy told me that it (the mounting) was a bit dodge, but he managed to g...

I just wanted to mention quickly what a difference changing my gearbox oil has made - I did it just over a week ago, I put in that GL4 castrol - forget what it's called. But yah, it took just over 3 liters of that stuff, and is now smooth as silk. I assume you used the Castrol BOT 130 M as recommen...
