    My 2005 GU ST ute

    Hello guys, my name is Gary and have just found this site

    I just recently bought my first Patrol after 3 good years with a D22. Had been looking for awhile and knew this was the one pretty much straight away

    2005 ST travelled 168km and paid 28K which I think is very reasonable.
    It already has dual batteries
    Alpine bluetooth cd player
    Manta 3" exhaust. The muffler they used is a traditional design so I will be swapping this to a straight through unit asap!
    Also has standard height pedders coils and shocks so it drives very well but I have no idea why he didnt get a 2 inch lift while he was upgrading them!
    Turbo timer


    All the usual upgrades planned:

    Custom Tray (work vehicle so cut down a touch but still has to be functional)
    3-4 inch suspension
    Sliders
    New rims and tyres
    EGT and boost gauge
    Turbo upgrade and tune down the track

    I have already swapped the cast dump pipe to a mild steel one with a bung installed for the future EGT and had a Lock-right fitted to the front diff.






    Thanks for looking

    Gary

    Nice tidy unit Gary. But as you said why not lift it a couple when doing suspension upgrade/replacement.
    In the words of a Dhuck "QUACK".

    Nice unit mate, look forward to watching you build her up mate.

    The good news is i reckon, that if they did not give it a lift then they were likely towing something with it and it had NEVER seen the bush! Nice job.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    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.

    Very nice Ute there Gary, I see that you have been giving the Powerlines a bit of a go mate.
