#The62 MudRunnerTD's New Wheels

Today its Wheels Day!!!

These are 295. Only a little bigger than standard but 30mm wider.

The rims are ROH Vapour 18x9 pos30.

They look great. I will need the 15mm slim flares though for sure.

They have corrected the speedo about 4% but it was at least 10% out. Getting closer now.

Don't put flares on it. They just don't look good on any Y62. You are sitting pretty close to flush so wouldn't stress. Leave it be. When you put the lift in they will come under the car further anyway.

I was going to fit the slimline ones.

Yes was thinking about the track narrowing with Lift. You are right it will be touch and go. The Bush Barriers will give me good protection offroad anyways...

Geez that looks heaps better already.
Apart from the terrible finish of the rear flares meeting the rear bar, I reckon the look real nice ay

Just commenting on your choice of carpark. I used to park there too. Not anymore!

Looks good Daz , definitely needs a lift or all you’ll be doing is driving around a golf course

Well she's in the shed!!!

Some surgery to the exhaust is required.

I did play with the exhaust on mine. And honestly the only time it sounded proper was when I did the full system.
I did a muffler delete with the long large muffler about mid car. This did make it louder but at a certain rpm sounded like somebody was slapping thongs together and shit. With the full system it had a proper deep v8 rumble and sounded awesome all the way through the rpm range. Fuel economy may have been better but was negated by the right boot going in deeper to hear the noise ��

Well some of that was frustrating but it's all bolted up....

Oh there was more to it lol.

Thats the easy part. The headers take a good part of a day to change. They are a bastard.

Good to see you are becoming an expert on mods on Y62.
When I get one I will drop it off at your place to get sorted. ;)

Yeah I just went Cat back at the moment. Yeah the only real drama was getting some of the hooks out of the brand new rubber hangers alone. I swore at a couple and then hit them with my purse and they capitulated. I had to drop the spare out to get the last section on too. Looks pretty good. I'm hoping it will sound nice.

I just fully paid attention to this thread!
Congrats Darren & Co. ! They're an awesome bit of kit.
When you took me for a spin in your BorgWarner driven TeeDee, the giggling excitement on your face while both of us were pinned to the back of the seats was unreal!! But here you are breaking those barriers again mate. Well done!!!

I get to put a boot down on one here and there. I park next to 3 of them at work almost daily and 2 of those have spent more time at OnTrack then on the road. Every single bit of the car was modded there aint much of Y62 left.

I'll reconfirm what Nissannewby said. Both of these guys have added bits and pieces of the exhaust here and there and the sound wasn't right. Some made no difference at all unless you rev the guts out of it and then it sounded like a Victa mower vegging for life !!
The real hard-on sound was when full system was fitted and then it sounded like a proper 8 that hits you in the face...

3 generations of the mighty Patrol at your possession now mate. Awesome!!!

Well I went for a drive today and.... Holy Bat Shit. I was super keen to avoid the thong slap and think I have but I think I need to get out of thr car and let the wife thrash it to be sure.

Hodge mate. I'm giggling every time I put the foot down. I have not had a V8 for over 30 years and they are a fair bit more car than the HZ Prem with the 308 with a 4 barrel. This thing is a Beast.

The GUIV has gone to a new home. Was a sad day. I was sad for weeks but I reckon I'm back in a happy place. Damn! This thing! Just Wow!!

I didn't fit a towbar from factory because I intend to fit a rear bar and paying $1200 plus fitting for a factory towbar to then take it off in a couple of months made no sense to me at all.

I had the dealer install the brake controller roller but no towbar. I found a bloke on Facebook selling a towbar for $200 after he fitted a rear bar. Winner. Winner.

So the 295 tyre was not playing ball. No chance that was going up without some motivated force.

So inhave deflated the tyre to about 2psi and wrapped a ratchet strap around it then with Zach's help ans a couple of pry bars I have encouraged it up into place.

Pretty happy with the final result.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...021/09/131.jpg

I have added an ARB compressor in a case to the back of the car, if I get a flat I can inflate the spare. I have an ARB Double compressor going in hard wired at some stage.

Mate, it's only 50 bux for a new Y62 dash cluster.

50 bux I tell ya!! :D

So I watched a video on Facebook about a month ago and it blew my mind. This became a bit of a No brainer once I saw the tech.

Once the car arrived I actually really liked the analog dash but the money was spent and oh well. So today it arrived ans the video promised it was a 15 minute install.....no Chance!!

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...021/09/135.jpg

Everything was in the box to calibrate the old dash to the new dash, no matter how old the dash is it will upload the history and odometer data. Pretty sik.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...021/09/136.jpg

Calibration took about 3 minutes.
Pulling the dash off was bloody traumatic and after bending a couple of trim removal tools and near on ripping my fingers off I watched 2 different vids that said Pop Pop, off it comes. No Farking Way...... 30 minutes it took to pop that sucker and it was Brutal!! I nearlly gave up. For sure there must be a screw or 3 in the way. MOFO.

But off she came, then just "unplug" everything. Nissan Plugs!!! All different and I could not see the actual plug I was trying to unplug. Shit got scarey!!

This is the kind of tech that the 300 will be coming with ans really does bring the Y62 into the 21st century.

I cant wait to use this.

I have shot a video and will upload tomorrow. I will also do a separate install thread for this jigger when I get a chance.

looking bloody good mate, you don't dick around, gee that dash looks awesome, didn't realize they did a S5 version now, i notice you get a digital speedo , is it still 8-9ks out like the factory one ,or have they corrected it in the software ?

Also with regard to your exhaust, you need to keep a eye on your transfer case 4x4 actuator, they are prone to cooking the glue that holds the magnets in place once you have removed exhaust heat shields, ive done some testing on this, and the normal driving operating temp (standard exhaust) sits the actuator at 50 Deg C, might be worth testing to see if you need shields or wrap etc ?

Nice work MudRunnerTD, that new dash cluster looks really really impressive! [emoji108]

Cheers for the heads up. I will have it back on the hoist tomorrow maybe and will have a look around the transfer. Have you got an image of the actuator?

I was really surprised how far out the speedo is. It is at least 10% out which is significant, the greatest discrepancy I have seen in a car. One of the vids I watched suggested that it corrected this, i have not driven it yet, I will let you know when I do though.

That's NASA age stuff there mate.
While the dash was apart you should get rid of that awful woodgrain shit.

I don't mind the wood grain, I hate the carbon fibre look but have seen one done it what looks like brushed aluminium and it looked fantastic!

I usually like woodgrain.
But IMO it does not suit the Y62 . Nothing else in the car even remotely resembles or has that classic look theme about it... Just doesn't belong there I reckon.

Yeah wow bloody snazzy just watched vid, yeah don't you love it when you watch a vid and looks easy as then have a go and struggletown damitt. . Yeah new cars all held together with clips little scary but spose they work, little different old GQ, attack it with screwdriver and apart in no time lol. . .

Certainly not piss farting about nice work[emoji106][emoji106]

Yeah I really like carbon fibre and have a heap of custom CF on my Triumph but it really is year 2000. The fake carbon looks like rubbish I reckon, hand laid carbon is sexy as. But yes I agree winnie it looks hideous in the 62. The wood grain is not as obnoxious as I was expecting and not too bad for my eye although come a bright day it might do my head in. I have seen one done with a brushed black alloy paint and clear coat! OMG it seriously looked amazing but would be some big coin. There are A Lot of panels to be pulled out so I understand the cost. It is a fair way down my list.
