as my super original forum name illudes to... Dan is my name.... (got the nickname from riding sportsbikes when i was younger and it's stuck)
onto my second patrol now, had a 2002 3L all set up with a 6'lift with all the good gear but in a family rescue attempt (long story) tackled water a little deeper than i should of and it conked out (lesson learnt, now have a snorkel)
aaaanyways, this lead me to my current patrol, a 2005 st-s 3L , picked it up ex lease from a copper in darwin
bought this one mainly cause i want to set up a good tourer to eventually do a cape trip then run through to the kimberlies, still like playing hard at times tough so want a versitile setup
list of goodies are as follows:
standard steel winch bar with 12k winch
3 lightforce genisis spotties (one spread 2 spot) with 70Whid's installed
70W hid headlight conversion
2'lift with airbags in the rear
33' mtz's
twin long range tanks (once you've had a long range tank... it's hard to go withough... LOVE not needing to fuel up for a month, 1500k's per tank on average)
ARB twin wheel rear bar with genuine nissan rims
have a nice stereo setup inside with a double din jvc headunit and a good speaker/sub setup
uhf gps all that stuff
have just recently had my motor die on me (no 2 piston blew a hole in it driving along the highway at 90k's an hour!) so new reco'd motor going in with hardened pistons, catch can, dawes valve, needle valve
while i'm at it i'm putting a cross country intercooler (stock intercooler was i think to blame for my issues as it was badly split) aswell as a taipan exhaust and chip
anyways, i'll update this later on as i'm a little peeved at my car at present because i've just got everything back in and started it up only to discover that my injector pump isn't drawing fuel by itself... but i'll sort that out hopefully
cheers guys... and thanks to those that have already responded to my thread in the mechanical section re: pump issues
