Mudski GU Build Thread

[mudski]

SO I thought its time to start up a thread. I've had The Dunger since April 2012 and he's changed a fair bit.
It a 2001 GUII and came with a ZD30 Direct Injection 3ltr, manual trans a sagged 2inch OME lift, bald 31's, ARB Bar and 9500lb TJM winch.
Forgive me for the lack of shots. I cannot for the life of me find the pics of it when I picked it up. But I do have more as progress started on the build up....
This is pretty close to the early stages of when I bought it. Except it had no window tint, the OEM scoop and the rims were a very old and bad looking silver. The tyres on it in the pic I picked up for a steal on fleabay. Five tyres on rims, one brand new at 10mm tread depth, the others at 9mm. All for $399! The car looked like a pregnant rollerskate but mate they did the job. I wasn't gonna wreck a good set of KM2's on the black top. Funny thing is I sold the five rims and tyres around 30k later for $500. Hehe!


So I'll just fast forward to now. Since then heres a list of stuff I have done.

• Added the Full NAD's to the motor.
• McNally Boost and EGT gauge
• Larger intercooler
• Catch can
• HPD Billet MAF housing and Hi Flow air box lid
• 3inch Redback exhaust, muffler removed
• White dial facing

• Front recovery points, see here....http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...ecovery-plates
• New remote central locking system to replace the defunked Ni$$an crap...http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...der-20-minutes
• Made a hidden glove box compartment...http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...ve-box-mod-DIY
• 3inch Flexy coils
• 4inch Tough Dog 45mm Adjustable shocks
• Drop boxes
• Adjustable Panhards front and rear
• 10mm longer rear lower control arms
• adjustable rear upper control arms
• 75Ltr Aux tank
• Full braided brake lines
• Ctek 250dual dc-dc charger
• Rear LED lights in the barn doors, effing handy these are....

• 2Din head unit with GPS, BT, reversing camera etc etc
• GUIV black leather steering wheel
• Electric brake controller
• Ally roof rack with a 42inch Light bar mount under it.
• A 2.5m ARB side awning
• A ARB rear awning
• LED driving lights ( best invention ever!)
• Front Air locker
• Custom made Projector headlights with HID's and LED angel eyes
• BFG 285/75/R16 AT's for the road
• BFG 315/70/R16 KM2's for the tracks
• Customs made, well home made, rear drawers

Then as of late I decided to take the mighty expensive plunge and get a TD42 fully rebuilt and put in. But man I love it now, I need not to worry about the stupid MAF sensor getting dirty, the more stupid serpentine belt and tensioner shitty itself everytime water hits it and the bloody limp mode saga's. I was actually to worried to take the thing out to anywhere even sort of remote, as I had that thought always sitting there in the back of my mind, when will my cards be laid on the table and I will need a tow home.... But having said all that, I had the lil ZD screaming and going really good in the end. It pulled the camper really well...

So here he is now...



Projects on the list are...

• TB48 front brake conversion. I have everything ready, apart from pads (on order from Nissan in Japan), and rotors. Prolly get DBA dimple drilled and slotted ones...
• Rear tube bar
• and I'd love a Hi mount winch.
• 4inch intake system too.

Thanks for looking.
