    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.

    The plot thickens... This has happened twice now and I have a theory as to why it is happening.
    Last time I adjusted the wheel bearings I think I bent the drivers side circlip that holds it all together. I did not have a pair of circlip pliers so used two pairs of pointy nose pliers and I think I've stretched it.
    It has come off and allows a bit of movement in the hub, now my wheel hubs have come loose a couple of times and I think this free play is allowing them to come loose.
    I will order a GU hub nut upgrade and replace the circlips (with circlip pliers)

    I drove the car this week and noticed a noise coming from that hub so I am assuming it has come loose again. This should help with my braking too.

    They have been sitting on the book shelf in the lounge room since they arrived... Lol
    I'm going to take it to the brake shop and get them to look over the whole system and put those lines on while they're at it.

    Ha ha, yeah nice. . Be good to hear how they go. GQ brakes definatly have room for improvement, especially with bigger tyres. . .

    Darren found me a set of twin piston rotors in Traralgon for $100, sent the bloke a message saying I'd go pick them up that day and he had sold them a couple of hours earlier! I was spewing! Bloody hell Darren, faster next time!
