    at least 70mm diameter Poly blocks mate and it will be fine.

    Extend your diff breathers, check your gear box breather on the way up to.
    Relieve the clutch vac line connected to the chassis rail on the left side near the fire wall.
    Relieve the steering column rubber uni by slipping it down the column to flatten it out.
    Slot the back of the Low range stick floor opening to allow for selection of Low range.
    Watch out for the lower cowl on the radiator as it may need adjusting for the fan to operate. I have never had to do this and have done 5 or 6 BLs already but i have heard of plenty that have.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I havent moved the radiator in mine and have no issues with the cooling side of and the fan doesnt foul. One thing i did do was shorten the lower radiator hose as it looked like it nearly had a kink in it.

    I take it that the same issues to keep an eye on with the GQ with a lift would be the same across the board?
