Hey all, been a while! The D23 has had quite a bit done since August. Now on 4" front and 3" rear lift. My focus has gone right into suspension parts. It's now got a huge Tough Dog adjustable panhard bar, got the axle back to 100% centre, and as of this coming Wednesday, she will have a fully...

Now on 3 + 2. Boys had some free time at work and slammed the rear coils in the ute for me for a 6 pack 🤙 And some workshop flex for shits and gigs hahaha

Thanks mate. Looking forward to actually hitting 100kms for a change and giving that engine a good run. It's been too long

Gauge is fitted. Was a bit worried when idle boost read 14.9, but i'm 99% sure that's absolute boost pressure (atmospheric), which would make sense as atmospheric pressure is read at around 14.68 bar. Which means i need to change the settings to read PSI instead Heaps of settings i haven't had a...

That sounds about right. Mine has done two since i bought it a few months ago, so about two full tanks. Both within a month of each other. But that's because we haven't been able to drive anywhere and the fastest she gets to is 80kms at the moment to and from work (barely a few kms). Heading...

That is friggin awesome that it.can force a regen 😲 The Nav seems to do a regen at the worst times (usually in car parks where people think your ute is on fire). Not willing to do a DPF delete on it either tbh. The young fellas like the sound, i bloody hate it. Would shit me after a few...

Hahaha good old paddock damage mate! You can at least say you dropped into a deep muddy rut that had a big rock in it and bent it that way 🤣 New shiny inner guards are in. Was going to buy a boost gauge, but stumbled across these (pic attached). It's an OBD2 port powered gauge. Reads EGT...

Damn straight! I agree, crimping is the lazy way, i'm not a fan. Next to perfect connection with a nicely soldered join. Then heat shrunk, a layer of Nitto tape and then conduit for protection. Today i am fitting new inner wheel arch plastic guards. I butchered the originals when doing the...

And the adjustable UCA's done and wheel alignment done. Rides beautifully. I rate them! Now riding on 3" front and 0" rear lift as the S4 had a higher rear end than the S1 and S2, so it's dead straight now. UCA's were very straight forward to fit, hardest bit was separating the steering arm...

Had the day off work today. Productive lightbar install. Nice factory looking switch. Hiding the wiring into the cabin behind the dash was painstakingly annoying, but got it done. Just have to solder some decent quality ring terminals onto the battery end of the loom tomorrow.

Bloody IFS!! Hahaha. She should sit dead straight after this and still have plenty of down travel left. Took the front and rear swaybars off as well, so much better, especially with the coil rear.

Just ordered some adjustable / greasable UCA's for the Nav. Have all the gear to run 3 + 0 lift, just needed the UCA's to fit it all correctly and get that camber back to perfect. Also made up a mounting bar for behind the grill to run a 22" lightbar so it's tucked away nicely. Pics to come soon

Thanks mate! There's a heap of room up under the rear of the centre console to fix it in and there's 12V power right there so it's perfect. Then if i'm just listening in to the highway channels, i can clamp the microphone into the Nissan centre console phone holder. It's a Crystal DB447D, so...

Finally finished my UHF install. Entire unit and all wiring is 100% hidden. Unit is connected to the centre console via a pass through switch and RJ45 cable. Antenna cable is hidden in the passenger side kick panels and UHF is mounted up inside the rear of the centre console and is tapped into...

New exhaust today. Easy to fit. Only a DPF back for now, obviously doesn't sound any different really as the DPF is still on there. But she breathes a little easier. Also threw that EGR cable in the bin. They are rubbish. In went a stainless plate. Picks up a little smoother than before and...

Exactly! I have been a purchasing officer in the diesel industry for a while now, buying CAT, John Deere, Donaldson, Fleetguard etc etc filters, and i don't have the buying power Nissan do, and our markups are decent, with Nissan's manafacturing and buying power, they'd be buying or making them...

I definitely rate them. Firm without being teeth crackers, and they just feel so nice on the road over dips and bumps. You're spot on though, my mate is one of the purchasing officers for Nitto tyres Victoria and they basically made these to compete with the BF's. They are cheaper and just as...

I was pleasantly surprised with them. They are Nitto Ridge Grapplers, you can JUST hear a bit of road noise, but they don't roar like my old Dick Cepeks. And they grip like s*** to sheets. Really impressed with them actually. They look big for 265's as well. She's nice and mild. The Bilstein...

Jesus! That's a prime example of why i don't trust them. They are about turning over in volume and not quality. I have noticed the chassis on mine under the engine has a wax type coating on the cross member as well. Lying bastards.

Bloody criminals mate. I took a silver paint pen and made a small marking on the oil filter and checked it when i collected the ute, just to make sure they ACTUALLY changed it. Checked the oil on the dipstick too before i drove off, oil was fresh so looks like they actually did the service. Haha.
