Swapped over the front and rear brake pads to RDA Extreme units. Installed new fuel tank drain valves, Mounted the fuel tank heater pads on main and aux. tanks - now need to wire to a central point. Big half days work, knackered now.

Will know on Monday when I take it for a long spin to get some numbers on the fuel consumption computer I have finally gotten installed and configured. One immediate impression was the braking was a bit quieter and certainly the pedal feel was a bit more 'plumper' rather than straight out rock hard. The pads i removed were the original 'as delivered' pads from Nissan in 1997. These were the same pads I used for the 'extreme fatigue' brake test' as part of the engineering upgrade, and they had a heap of meat still on them. Funny thing though was some pads had double thickness shims and others didn't - anyone know why? I simply installed the RDA units with their supplied shims.

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.

I've got them in ATM and have also noticed even wear got a couple of mm left on mine. Will be putting them in again.
