    Nice pics out on the sand, very jealous.
    We have a series2 and do a few country trips for work, run 98 most of the time and although it gets up and goes I'm pretty soft on the loud pedal. I know it's there and I have nothing to prove to those that "want to have a go".
    A recent 5 day stint in Bendigo, then down to Hallam all for work saw a calculated 12.08l/100k. Flew past a couple of semis and folk towing horse floats but that was it. While in Bendigo the commute between the motel and work was 3k's. We have a 3.3ton (when loaded up) caravan that has a 280k towball down load in which we use airbags and a wdh. Travelling to 90mile beach thru back of Healesville and Pakenham onto the freeway I got just under 24l/100k however the wife on the way home when she drove got 29.9l/100k and had the tyres chirping at times (go figure). So depends I guess how they're driven. Done some trips down to Geelong and back for work and 12l/100k seems pretty normal, on the way down the range has climbed to a max of 1025k's but that's all downhill I guess.
    A lot of people seem to be concerned with sway etc of their caravans, maybe we've been lucky but I've not experienced anything like that although I did tell myself off when I found myself at an excessive speed without realizing.
    Just my 2c from our experience.
    Cheers BruceR.

    So the rhino rack turned up today. Ended up getting it for a pretty reasonable price. Went with the open front and rear style with the rails down the long sides. Will get it fitted on the weekend.

    Also ordered the full taipan 304 exhaust system which includes extractors. This should be here early next week. Busy few weekends getting all this gear on and sortrd before the woman goes to tamworth.

    Sure, do you want the whole thread in the members rides or specific posts here in different build categories?

    Sorry mate, my life is time poor lately so haven't been following this properly.

    Let me know your thoughts and I'll make it happen.

    Or if a mod wants to help me do this it would be greatly appreciated!!!

    So making some alow progress. Picked this up Saturday morning and went about installing it this weekend. Kind of a forced modification as the catalytic convertors were dying and it was cheaper to buy an aftermarket system than replace the factory items as the cats are actually integrated into the exhaust manifolds.

    How does it sound mate. Read a dude saying the tuned lengths where all wrong on those headers, what are your thoughts on that? Looks good to me.

    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.
