Hi and welcome to Nissans Nut House Gary. Are you going to be any long trips? The drone of straight through may get to you then, but that's only from what I've got from some light talk here.

Its not too bad to be honest mate , did an 8hr trip to Denham and with wind noise , tyre grumble and a bit of music its hardly noticeable , pick the revs aswell and its fine

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Your not wrong Ross, seems a very friendly bunch here and I will defiantly think about joining the club (seen a sticker in the BCF Rockingham car park recently), my mate with the SWB in the 4th pic has showed interest in joining a club in the past so I will mention this to him.
We did the powerline track on Friday (nye) and had an awesome time, stock suspension and tyres restricted me passing through a few sections but that wont be the issue come the cooler months Bring on the mud!
The lock-right was able to get me through some sections that the lifted SWB with 33's couldnt pass, he's got one waiting to be installed though so he will have the last laugh!
As for the exhaust, I have been running it with the muffler cut out and it sounds awesome, I was chasing that whistle and have got plenty of it with the exhaust ending about 2 inches from the cab! But the noise it a bit much as it echoes straight through (not bad for when the mrs is in the car haha) I have just bought a hot dog resonator and will be adding this in where the muffler used to be, this should take some of the bark out hopefully. This is my work vehicle so I drive from site to site every day (yet to fit my roof rack and tool box), and plan on doing some longer trips through the year so have to find a happy medium somewhere.
Cheers
Gary
