Installed the Boss Coil Tower Brace Kit, piece of cake installation. Less than an hour to do the lot, coil spring compressor and no need to undo shocks or sway bar.
Just about took me longer to raise the car and remove and refit wheels. Nice bit of kit.

You're a better man than me Jack. How'dya go with those bolts nuts fiddling on top next to fuel lines... I invented new swear words doing those.Originally Posted by jack

Actually had no issues, cleaned it up and put silicone on the top plate of the brace then loosely bolted in place using the bump stop bolts. Had room to place the nuts on top, started the thread and hit it with an 18v impact driver (also used loctite). Then redid the bump stops, I will check the fuel lines to make sure they aren’t touching.

Fitted front brake pads, gu has 190,000km and the pads where genuine Nissan in it couldn’t be the factory pads after that many km surely?
I used bendix pads same as the rears now, I’ve never had an issue with em so stick with what I know.

Finally got around to installing my second auxiliary battery today, for a total of 270AH.
Nothing like a couple of cold beers while up the bush, and no fear of running the batteries down too low.
2"lift is out and brand new rear shocks have been fitted with the standard springs. The vehicle sits as solid as a rock on the road and the ride is smooth.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Disconnected the smart Alternator shunt... now 14.4 volts all day loooong!!! ... take ya emissions and shove it I say
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
what do you mean by this? i didnt know the y61 had this
They don't... the Y62 does (and a 130 AH Alternator stock).
The Y61 was made only just after electricity was discovered so thankfully missed out on PIA equipment like smart alternators

I went to the wreckers last week and bought a bunch of small bits and pieces that my GU III was missing/were damaged.
One of those bits was a replacement cruise control module, as the writing had worn off the unit on my steering wheel.
I could only get a black module, and my factory unit was a khaki colour, so I pulled them both apart, popped the buttons out and swapped them over.
Pretty happy with how it looks.Attachment 76387IMG_20180918_205442.jpegIMG_20180918_210445.jpegIMG_20180918_212156__01.jpegIMG_20180918_212758.jpeg
