Good to hear that MR, in fact *very* good to hear that.
I was prepared to cough up for a pair of the good Konis, but the choice was OME, Munroe or some make I'd never heard of. The OME are the 'Nitro Charger Sport @ $185 each which is well under half what the Konis cost. I picked them of the three available 'cos that's what Telstra ran on the car before I bought it. The Lovells have been good, but at 6 years old have only done around 60,000kms, admittedly that includes a lot of corrugated kms at close to our GVM weight of 3900kg, but I thought they'd last better than that. I'll hang on the rear one which isn't leaking as a spare.

yeah my OME shocks have 240,000kms on them and still going strong. I actually want them to fail so i can convince myself to buy a set of OME BP51s but the Sports are doing the job very well. Telstra fit them for a reason too mate.

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.
