Hello from the States

[frontin40]

Just want to say hi and introduce my Frontier to this site. Looking forward to see what this site offers. Here is my truck with Arctic flares and wheels with a Calmini 5in lift.

Welcome to the forums mate. Nice looking vehicle, love the flares! How big are those tyres, if you don't mind me asking.

Cheers Brad

I have 33's on right now but going to 35's next month probably. Without out gears 37's would give me terrible gas mileage.

Truck before flares and wheels

Nice rig, are you going to match the flares to the colour of the car? Are those aftermarket headlights? They look good, I wonder if that style is available for the D22.

 

[frontin40]

I would color match if I didn't have a chrome bumper, but I'm still undecided on either leaving them black or matching. Also they do have the lights for the d22's on ebay.

Gee lucky your not in Australia, otherwise the forum police would be right onto those modifications!!
Did you know it's illegal to lift a truck more than 2" in Australia?

Where is that legislation found, lots of talk about it but no-ones posted it?

Yes it exists - cant be arsed pointing to it though.
Over 2 inch lift requires engineer certification and depending upon the engineer the can demand that it undertake a lane change test at a specified speed to ensure that it doesn't roll over to have its belly rubbed.
Called into Vicroads today actually to get documentation to shove up ARB's arse and set fire to since they want me to grind my control arms to make their shock absorbers fit. They wont refund them because they say that I must undertake this modification - I refuse to do it because to do so would require NDT and an engineers certificate that they wont pay for. Documentation in one hand and a lighter in the other!

I was joking, lets not pollute another thread!

I'm in Arizona now and gas is over $3 a gallon right now. It sucks you have laws that limit lift height, but some Sates here also have ridiculous laws when doing certain things to vehicles also.

 

[Dave]

Not bad at all.

Use are paying 82 cents per litre in our money.

Gas (Petrol) over here is about $1.23 a litre. $4.66 Aus a gallon.

What else you got planned for the Frontier ?

Dave.

 

[frontin40]

A Titan V8 swap is next on the wish list. Just waiting for a person already doing the swap for a write up.

 

[Dave]

Cool, looking forward to seeing it.

Dont the US spec R51 Pathfinders come out with the VK56DE ?

So shouldn't be to hard.

Dave.

Trying to find a wrecked one is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to many of them made either.
