Hi blokes, Got the system fitted from Beaudesert on Friday and did a nice run up the coast for a few hours today. Must say I'm well impressed. The piping is perfect, 2 3/4" mandrel bent aluminized mild steel, high flow cat and muffler including larger bore dump pipe fitted for under $1500. I...

Hi guys, Just about to buy a Beaudesert system for my 2.5 D22, any feedback on performance and noise. Were you happy with the system? Mine goes in this Friday. Cheers fellas Deejay

Hi GUys, I spoke to an Auto lecky and supplier of speedo correction boxes for both Tojo's and Nissans. He said they correct the speedo but throw the odo out of whack. ADR's allow for a 10% error in speedo's and Nissan use this to do nothing about it. Just drive 10% faster than indicated to...

Hi docp1980, My HID spotties do the same but only when the globes are warming up, once they reach temperature (about 20 seconds), the static fades away. It also only happens on AM stations. My kit had the newer slimline ballasts which I also mounted on the bullbar in the same spot as yours by...

Hi Guys, Not a bad looking bar, but would be friggin useless for night time highway driving in the Northwest. Even a small roo would wipe out your headlights and front guard/bonnet. I don't do extreme 4WDing so will stick to my standard steel winch bar. My bar is for roo and animal impact...

Hey, I tried smoking trucks on the highway a few times, but gave up after finding them too hard to light and they tasted funny if you did get them alight. :-p DJ

Pro's = You'll have something no one else has got (originality) Con = You'll look like a friggin' tool. It's a work ute, not a performance race car. But if it really flicks your switch, you should go for it. Speaking of flicking the switch, have you thought of NOS and spoilers? ;-)

Hi Silvernavara, Just a stoopid question, but did you get snatched out or pulled by cable? In my Patrol I found a guy bogged good and proper and so offered him a snatch out of deep soft sand. I went to grab my snatch strap and he said no worries, I have one. So he fits his snatch strap and...

Hey guys, I've had Cooper HT's on my GU Patrol and hated them, always had them going out of balance. Good performing tyre but need to be rotated and balanced at regular intervals if you want and longevity out of them. Maybe not so bad on the Navara being lighter, but I have my reservations...

Hi Clint.B, You mentioned you had a 2006 D22 ST-X. Is it s D22 ST-R or a D40 ST-X? If it is the D40, there is an intercooler between the turbo and the donk so if the turbo does crap itself the parts will be stopped by the Intercooler before being inducted into the cyliners. If it's a D22...

HI Guys, I usually get about 10.3 litres/100km around town with a small amount of towing. It would be less if I didn't enjoy the chip so much :devil: So that's about 700km per tank give or take. I'd love to get it down below 10/100 maybe remove the chip ..... Nah! Cheers, DJ

Hi Lapsed, Welcome to the forum. Have fun with the Nav, they're a good horse. Cheers, DJ

Some low life decided my ute looked too nice for their liking so they keyed down the LH side from front Qtr panel to end of back door. Frickin' spewing! I was able to polish a good portion of it out but am still left a few bits which go right through thr paintwork to metal. WHY WOULD YOU DO...

Hi Guys, Convert all your lights to HID and you have no problem with current drain. I was pulling about 22amps from my two 130w halogen globes in the Hellas. By adding a third light it would push power consumption up to around 33 amps. That's a lot of amps creates big sparks when shorted...
