Hi all

Let me introduce myself. I'm David and recently purchased my first Nissan Patrol . 2005 GU IV ST - 155,000 on the clock. Gold . Stock as for now . It was time for an upgrade and The Patrol was better value for money compared to 100 Series Landcruiser TD

In the past I have only owned Toyota 4x4. 1991 Hilux Surf SSR , 1999 Hilux Dual Cab and I still own a 1988 4runner SR5. It was until recently my mate convince me to go with Nissan Patrol. Gotta admit they look great and perform well offroad !

I'm looking to slowly modify my Patrol for going away. Plans for Snorkel, Bullbar , Spotties, Tyres, Lift Kit , uhf .

I've recently purchased a BOGAARD turbo timer for my ZD30 . Hope it easy to install. I'm a beginner when it comes to mechanical. I've been reading up on the NADS system ( I want to make my patrol reliable as possible ) . My first step would probably be installing the EGT gauge and Boost gauge - Is there any workshop that can install these with zd30 experience ? I'm in Clyde North near Berwick VIC

Thanks heaps !
