Always amazes me how a set of wheels/rims can transform the way a 4x4 looks

[UK-Rushy]

Thanks for the replies!

Corbin- I didn't really have chance to drive it as it developed a leak from the injector pump so it's back at the dealership under warranty, also the boost was all over the place so I removed the chip and just babied it until I get needle and dawes valve, it would just spool to 25+psi with the lightest touch of the accelerator! So I'm bypassing the factory control all together. From the little driving I had its made a big improvement in low down torque but obviously with the boost problems I haven't seen the full out come! Pretty easy to install aswell! Removing the sway bar gives alot more room to play with!

Threedogs- it makes a massive difference! I was going to sell these with my surf but they are brand new rims and tyres and no one could justify the price I was asking! I'm glad I kept them though! And now iv got a spare set of muddys to play with whenever winter decides to arrive in perth :p

Let me no how ot goes once you iron out them problems. Cheers!

Nice looking rig mate. Looks good with the rims.

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers for the replies!

Haven't been able to drive the car for the last 2 weeks as its been at the dealership, sent it in with a fuel leak, turned out to be the high pressure pump so it's been replaced and also the Injector pump was sent off to be checked. Got the car back after they'd finished and it ran like shit so sent it back and now the motors out with timing issues, getting the intake manifold cleaned while its out!

I could complain, but iv been given a nice courtesy car and haven't paid a cent, apparently the high pressure pump was around the 3500 mark from Nissan!

Good looking rig mate, I juts bought an 08, not as much gear on it as yours but I love they way they look with the lift and king steelies!!

[anasaz09]

Nice ride dude, but I think the factory rims are better

[UK-Rushy]

Well it's been a while since an update! A couple of months ago my car developed a diesel leak, as it was still under used car warranty I had to return it to the dealer. After around 9 weeks of being stuffed around I finally got my car back. They installed a new high pressure pump and also overhauled injector pump.

Since getting the car back iv been busy:

egt controller and boost gauge in pillar pod
Pioneer in dash DVD screen
cross country intercooler with electric fan on 50c switch
Scotts rods 3"
Replaced leaking manifold gasket
Egr block both ends
Dawes and needle (needed due to egr block)
Fuel manager pre 30micron filter with water bowl
Rear LED work lights

There's still a bit more than I want to do and will do when the money's there! All the work bar the new pumps has been done by myself

Here's a few snaps:
