Hi dads tractor and All

I couldn't find reference to a brake controller fitted where I have so there was a fair bit of trial and error and I took my time over a couple of days but if I were to do...

Hi All

It's done and I now have pics, the controller mount sits out of sight behind the flap when the controller is in its pouch not in use and slips neatly into the bracket when required.
...

Hi All

I was told the ScanGuage would give me a whole lot of data I never new I needed and it's true, I have it set to real time fuel consumption and whenever I'm off the throttle the reading is...

Hi All

When I did my research on brake controllers the Tekonsha came out on top so that's what I bought, one of the features I particularly like is the ability to remove it from it's bracket and...

Hi All

I'm enjoying my new found performance but have given up treating it like a sports car and am driving it as I did prior to the remap last fill I was rewarded with 10.2LPH round town.

At...

Hi RTF

The guy to talk to is Roger his contact details are at the top of the dyno sheet.

As for the ScanGuage it's a really useful bit of kit as I found out recently after filling the truck...

Hi All

Damn, I've used the truck so much a tank only lasted three weeks :) being away for a week probably helped anyway 680ks on 75L which is a touch over 11L/100Km, I'm impressed because over...

I've just compared the dyno print outs and about the only reliable comparison is air density, mine was done in fourth gear @ 31kph under full load and yours was done in third gear @ 53kph much higher...

foggs, was your vehicle run on a dyno and do you have a print out of the results showing afr before and after?

Hi All

I don't currently use the truck all that much so have just filled up again and can report that a tank full of stop start traffic motoring including short running to the shops and back plus...

Hi All

I've done some more city Ks and find that with no load on board on relatively flat ground first gear is redundant and with only a few revs second gear launch is effortless.

I did a short...

Hi foggs Mine is CRD manual one year younger than yours with 3" exhaust, have you had yours upgraded? I think you'd have to be extremely unlucky to get caught without a cat in WA although that will...

Hi growler

Yep a grand for the tune and the same for the zaust so $2k total which is a lot but I think it's value.

Hi All

Had the ECU remapped today, the truck was run on the dyno to get a base reading then the ECU removed and remapped with a performance/economy tune then run on the dyno again before a road...

Hi SCUBA
The system I've had fitted doesn't have a CAT so it's 3" all the way, a high flow CAT will mate to a 3" pipe but will still have internal restriction unless it's removed leaving just a...

Hi Thefattymatty, I got it from a mate at Carline mufflers I didn't ask what brand but it sits nice and high like the Tiapan, drove the truck a bit yesterday out of traffic and the performance...

Just had a 3" stainless system with strait through muffler fitted, noise increase is hardly noticeable and not intrusive at all, not sure the increase in performance is worth the cost but I guess...

Hi All

Since my last post I've put a few Ks on the truck with a return trip from Perth to Albany and a round trip from Perth to Kal to Esperance and back via Albany so I'm up to about 8000ks since...

Hi All

Thanks for the warm welcome, tomorrow marks four months of Patroling and I must say I'm really enjoying being able to see past the 4x4 in front instead of gazing blindly into the spare...

The tyres in the pic do appear the be a different diameter but I think it's just the angle the pic was taken from, the one on the left in now hanging off the back door interestingly there are no...

Thanks for that ozjeff, I guess I was taken in by the price and marketing spin, I didn't keep the car long enough to know how they perform over time, from my experience there's a lot of good product...

Thanks for sorting that out for me NissanGQ4.2.

I have now done a short freeway run and report further improvement with almost no vibration at all, not being familiar with Patrol when I test drove...

Hi All

It's Interesting evil twin that you mentioned the back end letting go in the wet, both my wife and I have had the rear end step out recently at roundabouts in the wet so I now have zero...
